Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) have an increased risk of gallstone disease. We aimed to systematically evaluate the prevalence rate and relevant risk factors of gallstones in CD patients. METHODS A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to September 10, 2023, identified studies investigating risk factors for gallstone development among CD patients. Gender, age, body mass index, disease duration, disease site, stenosis, prior surgery, hospitalization times, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) were assessed as potential risk factors. Odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. RESULT Among 1184 articles, 11 observational studies (3588 patients) were included. The prevalence of CD patients with gallstones was approximately 14.7%. Factors significantly associated with increased gallstone risk included Age ≥ 40 years old (OR 3.06, 95% CI 2.09- 4.48), disease duration > 15 years (OR 3.01, 95% CI 2.06-4.42), lifetime surgery(OR 2.50, 95% CI 1.99-3.12), disease located in ileocolon (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.04-1.83) and ileocecal(OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.16-3.21), multiple hospitalizations(OR 4.26, 95% CI 2.43-7.46), corticosteroid treatments(OR 2.65, 95% CI 1.52-4.63), immunomodulator therapy(OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.12-3.38), and TPN use(OR 2.66, 95% CI 1.29-5.51). Sex, stenosis, overweight, or low weight did not significantly increase the risk of gallstone developing. CONCLUSION Age, long disease duration, specific disease locations (ileocolon, ileocecal), surgery, number of hospitalizations, corticosteroids, immunomodulator therapy, and TPN were identified as factors that increased the risk of gallstones in CD patients. About 14.7% of CD patients experience gallstones, so raising awareness and implementing prevention are needed. REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42023449299).

Abstract
SummaryUlcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, can cause extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in approximately 40% of individuals. This case report discusses the diagnostic procedure of a woman in her 20s who initially had non-specific symptoms. The patient underwent a thorough evaluation, which initially pointed towards tuberculosis (TB) due to necrotic lymphadenopathy and granulomatous hepatitis. However, no microbiological evidence of TB was found, and her symptoms worsened despite antitubercular therapy. The patient developed painful nodular-ulcerative skin lesions consistent with cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (cPAN) on biopsy. Eventually, a definitive diagnosis of UC was made, revealing the true nature of her multisystemic manifestations. Cutaneous vasculitis, including leucocytoclastic vasculitis and cPAN, is a rare EIM of UC, with only five reported cases in the literature. This case report highlights the clinical implications of EIMs and contributes to the expanding knowledge of rare EIMs such as cPAN and granulomatous hepatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA improves the quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis by the removal of diseased large bowel and preservation of the natural route of defecation. Although the surgery may improve preexisting extraintestinal manifestations in the joints, skin, and eyes, extraintestinal manifestations, particularly primary sclerosing cholangitis, can persist after colectomy. OBJECTIVES A systematic review of diagnosis and treatment of liver, joint, skin, and eye manifestations in patients with restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA for ulcerative colitis. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane database. STUDY SELECTION Relevant articles on primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations in ileal pouches published between January 2001 and July 2023 in English were included on the basis of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. INTERVENTION Diagnosis and treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations in patients with restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Association between primary sclerosing cholangitis, extraintestinal manifestations, and inflammatory disorders of the pouch and their management. RESULTS Primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations are associated with pouchitis, particularly chronic pouchitis. Primary sclerosing cholangitis is associated with chronic pouchitis, enteritis, and possible pouch neoplasia. However, the disease severity and course of primary sclerosing cholangitis and pouchitis do not appear to be parallel. Despite the fact that oral vancomycin or budesonide have been used to treat primary sclerosing cholangitis-associated pouchitis, their impact on the disease course of primary sclerosing cholangitis is not known. Biological therapy for chronic inflammatory disorders of the pouch may also be beneficial for the concurrent extraintestinal manifestations of the joints, skin, and eyes. However, studies on the correlation between the severity of inflammatory pouch disorders and the severity of joint, skin, and eye diseases are lacking. LIMITATIONS This is a qualitative, not quantitative, review of case series and case reports. CONCLUSIONS Primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations of the joints, skin, and eyes appear to be associated with inflammatory disorders of the ileal pouch. Although the treatment of pouchitis does not seem to affect the disease course of primary sclerosing cholangitis, effective therapy of inflammatory pouch disorders, particularly with biologics, likely benefits concurrent disorders of the joints, skin, and eyes.

Insights Imaging 2024; 15:69.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Predicting secondary loss of response (SLR) to infliximab (IFX) is paramount for tailoring personalized management regimens. Concurrent pancreatic manifestations in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) may correlate with SLR to anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment. This work aimed to evaluate the potential of pancreatic radiomics to predict SLR to IFX in biologic-naive individuals with CD. METHODS Three models were developed by logistic regression analyses to identify high-risk subgroup prone to SLR. The area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were applied for the verification of model performance. A quantitative nomogram was proposed based on the optimal prediction model, and its reliability was substantiated by 10-fold cross-validation. RESULTS In total, 184 CD patients were enrolled in the period January 2016 to February 2022. The clinical model incorporated age of onset, disease duration, disease location, and disease behavior, whereas the radiomics model consisted of five texture features. These clinical parameters and the radiomics score calculated by selected texture features were applied to build the combined model. Compared to other two models, combined model achieved favorable, significantly improved discrimination power (AUCcombined vs clinical 0.851 vs 0.694, p = 0.02; AUCcombined vs radiomics 0.851 vs 0.740, p = 0.04) and superior clinical usefulness, which was further converted into reliable nomogram with an accuracy of 0.860 and AUC of 0.872. CONCLUSIONS The first proposed pancreatic-related nomogram represents a credible, noninvasive predictive instrument to assist clinicians in accurately identifying SLR and non-SLR in CD patients. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This study first built a visual nomogram incorporating pancreatic texture features and clinical factors, which could facilitate clinicians to make personalized treatment decisions and optimize cost-effectiveness ratio for patients with CD. KEY POINTS • The first proposed pancreatic-related model predicts secondary loss of response for infliximab in Crohn's disease. • The model achieved satisfactory predictive accuracy, calibration ability, and clinical value. • The model-based nomogram has the potential to identify long-term failure in advance and tailor personalized management regimens.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are often associated with altered liver function tests (LFTs). There is little data on the relationship between abnormal LFT and IBD. Our study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and etiology of elevated LFT in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and to determine whether there is an association with clinical and demographic parameters. Methods The clinical records of the Gastroenterology Outpatients Clinic at a single center were reviewed and screened for patients with UC from 2005 to 2014. In total, 263 patients were included. Patients with Crohn's disease (CD), colitis indeterminate, and colitis of other origins were excluded. Abnormal LFT and liver injuries were analyzed. Results A cohort of 182 patients was analyzed (114 males, 68 females; mean age = 50.2 ± 16.1 years). 58 patients had already been diagnosed with a hepatobiliary disorder. Patients with a known hepatobiliary disorder suffered from UC for a significantly longer duration. Elevated LFT in patients without known hepatobiliary disorders was 69.4%. Liver injury was found in 21.8%. A transient increase in abnormal LFT was shown in 59 patients (68.6%), a persistent increase was found in 27 patients (31.4%). Treatment with thiopurines was a risk factor for persistent elevated LFT (p = 0.029), steroids had a protective impact (p = 0.037). Conclusion This study clearly highlights the importance of screening for hepatobiliary disorders and abnormal LFT in patients with UC, as the prevalence of hepatobiliary disorders and abnormal LFT is detected very often among this patient group.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that progressively affects mucosa and submuccosa of the colon and rectum in a continual pattern. In comparison, Crohn disease (CD), the other type of IBD, is a chronic transmural inflammatory disorder that can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract. MR enterography (MRE) has emerged as an important imaging modality for the diagnosis and detection of disease activity and complications in CD, with comparable results to those of endoscopy. But MRE has been underused for assessment of UC in recent years, and clinicians heavily rely on endoscopic findings for management of UC. Despite UC being considered an endoscopically assessable disease, MRE can provide useful information beyond that obtained with endoscopy about mural or extramural abnormalities, inaccessible parts of the colonic lumen, associated extraintestinal diseases, and superimposed pathologic conditions. Moreover, endoscopy might be contraindicated in some clinical settings due to the risk of colonic perforation. In addition to depicting the features of UC activity in different phases, MRE demonstrates findings of disease chronicity that cannot be achieved with endoscopy, particularly in a patient with colitis of unknown cause. The valuable diagnostic role of MRE to exclude undiagnosed CD in patients with UC who have refractory disease or those with postproctocolectomy complications is also emphasized. Radiologists can play a crucial role in the management of UC with MRE by addressing what is beyond endoscopy. ©RSNA, 2023 Test Your Knowledge questions are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
Crohn's Disease (CD) is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease and is characterized by an immune-mediated nature. Its etiology results from the interaction between genetic, enviromental and microbial factors. Regarding pathophysiology, it involves high levels of interleukin (IL)-12, IL-17, and Th1 profile, along with loss of tolerance mechanisms, an increase in pro-inflammatory interleukins, beyond the possibility to affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Its symptoms include abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, anorexia, and fatigue, as well as blood in the stool or rectum. Additionally, conditions comprising musculoskeletal, cutaneous, ocular, hepatic, and hematological alterations may be associated with this scenario and extra-intestinal presentation, such as erythema nodosum, anterior uveitis, osteoporosis, and arthritis can also occur. Today, clinical history, exams as fecal calprotectin, ileocolonocopy, and capsule endoscopy can be performed in the diagnosis investigation, along with treatments to induce and maintain remission. In this sense, anti-inflammatory drugs, such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biological agents, as well as surgery and non-pharmacological interventions plays a role in its therapy. The aim of this review is to bring more current evidence to clinical management of CD, as well as to briefly discuss aspects of its pathophysiology, surveillance, and associated disorders.

Abstract
It has been understood for nearly a century that patients with intestinal inflammatory disease (IBD) have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, two species of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactococcus lactis, have been investigated as therapeutic agents for IBD. These bacteria have been shown to survive gastric transit, to adhere and colonize in the intestinal tract of humans and modulate the intestinal microbiota and immune response. L. plantarum and L. lactis might be used as multifunctional drugs for the treatment of IBD and the prevention or treatment of CRC.

Abstract
The prevalence and incidence of Ulcerative Colitis (UC), a recurrent and remitting inflammatory condition, are rising. Any part of the colon may be affected, beginning with inflammation of the mucosa in the rectum and continuing proximally continuously. Bloody diarrhea, tenesmus, fecal urgency, and stomach pain are typical presenting symptoms. Many patients present with extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) including musculoskeletal, ocular, renal, hepatobiliary, and dermatological presentation, among others. Most cases are treated with pharmacological therapy including mesalazine and glucocorticoids. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel procedure that is increasingly being used to treat UC, however, its use yet remains controversial because of uncertain efficacy. FMT can lower gut permeability and consequently disease severity by boosting short-chain fatty acids production, helping in epithelial barrier integrity preservation. Upadacitinib (JAK Kinase inhibitor) is another newer treatment option, which is an FDA-approved drug that is being used to treat UC. This review article provides a comprehensive review of the EIMs of UC, the role of FMT along with various recent clinical trials pertaining to FMT as well as other diagnostic and therapeutic updates.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. It has a variable clinical course, with alternating periods of disease activity and remission. Because the incidence and prevalence of Crohn's disease have been increasing, evaluation by imaging methods has become more important. The most widely used methods are computed tomography enterography, magnetic resonance enterography (as an elective examination), and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (in the context of emergency). Computed tomography enterography and magnetic resonance enterography are useful for diagnosis, follow-up, evaluation of complications, and prognosis. Both can be used in order to evaluate the small bowel loops and the associated mesenteric findings, as well as to evaluate other abdominal organs. They both also can detect signs of disease activity, fibrosis, penetrating disease, and complications. The interpretation of such changes is essential to the multidisciplinary approach, as is the standardization of the nomenclature employed in the reports. In this paper, we review and illustrate the imaging findings of Crohn's disease, using the standardized nomenclature proposed in the multidisciplinary consensus statement issued by the Society of Abdominal Radiology, the Society of Pediatric Radiology, and the American Gastroenterology Association, with recommendations for descriptions, interpretations, and impressions related to those findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become a commonly utilized procedure for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. There is a paucity of data for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who undergo ERCP. The aim of this study is to examine the indications, complications, and inpatient outcomes of patients with IBD undergoing ERCP. METHODS For this retrospective cohort study, we utilized the National Inpatient Sample database for the years 2018-2019. We compared potential indications, outcomes, ERCP-related procedures, and resource utilization in patients who underwent ERCP and had a diagnosis of IBD to that of patients who underwent ERCP without a diagnosis of IBD. We utilized a multivariate regression model that accounted for several potential confounders. RESULTS We identified 318,590 ERCP procedures. Among them, 3625 ERCP procedures were performed in patients with an associated diagnosis of IBD. Patients with IBD who underwent ERCP had higher odds of acute kidney injury (aOR 1.27; 95% CI: 1.01-1.60) and sepsis (aOR 1.33; 95% CI: 1.07-1.67) compared to patients without IBD. However, inpatient mortality and other complications were not statistically different between the two groups. Patients with IBD were also less likely to undergo biliary sphincterotomy (aOR 0.75; 95% CI: 0.62-0.88) but there were no other differences in performance of ERCP-related therapeutic interventions between the two groups. Adjusted costs and charges were not statistically different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Our study shows that ERCP is, overall, a safe procedure in patients with IBD, as inpatient morbidity and mortality are similar to patients without IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to chronic conditions with a low mortality but high disability. The multisystemic nature of these diseases can explain the appearance of some extraintestinal manifestations, including liver damage. Abnormal liver biochemical tests can be identified in approximately one third of patients with IBD and chronic liver disease in 5% of them. Among the liver diseases associated with IBD are primary sclerosing cholangitis, cholelithiasis, fatty liver disease, hepatic amyloidosis, granulomatous hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, venous thromboembolism, primary biliary cholangitis, IgG4-related cholangiopathy, autoimmune hepatitis, liver abscesses or the reactivation of viral hepatitis. The most common disease is primary sclerosing cholangitis, a condition diagnosed especially in patients with ulcerative colitis. The progress registered in recent years in the therapeutic management of IBD has not eliminated the risk of drug-induced liver disease. Additionally, the immunosuppression encountered in these patients increases the risk of opportunistic infections, including the reactivation of viral hepatitis. Currently, one of the concerns consists of establishing an efficiency and safety profile of the use of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) among patients with hepatitis C and IBD. Early diagnosis and optimal treatment of liver complications can improve the prognoses of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND AIMS Acute pancreatitis in inflammatory bowel disease occurs mainly as an extraintestinal manifestation or a side effect of medications. We aimed to investigate the prognostic factors and severity indicators of acute pancreatitis and the treatment of patients with both diseases. DESIGN We performed a matched case-control registry analysis of a multicentre, prospective, international acute pancreatitis registry. Patients with both diseases were matched to patients with acute pancreatitis only in a 1:3 ratio by age and gender. Subgroup analyses were also carried out based on disease type, activity, and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. RESULTS No difference in prognostic factors (laboratory parameters, bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis, imaging results) and outcomes of acute pancreatitis (length of hospitalization, severity, and local or systemic complications) were detected between groups. Significantly lower analgesic use was observed in the inflammatory bowel disease population. Antibiotic use during acute pancreatitis was significantly more common in the immunosuppressed group than in the non-immunosuppressed group (p = 0.017). However, none of the prognostic parameters or the severity indicators showed a significant difference between any subgroup of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. CONCLUSION No significant differences in the prognosis and severity of acute pancreatitis could be detected between patients with both diseases and with pancreatitis only. The need for different acute pancreatitis management is not justified in the coexistence of inflammatory bowel disease, and antibiotic overuse should be avoided.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often have other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), and the prevalence of any IMID is higher in IBD patients than in the general population. IBD and other IMIDs involve alterations in innate and adaptive immune responses. Their co-occurrence depends on shared immune and inflammatory processes, pathogenic mechanisms, and genetic and environmental risk factors, including drugs, especially tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. The more common IMIDs associated with IBD have been widely described, so this review focuses on the less frequent associations. The IMIDs discussed here are skin disorders (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa, and hidradenitis suppurativa), hepato-pancreatic diseases (autoimmune hepatitis, granulomatous hepatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis), endocrine diseases (autoimmune thyroid diseases, and type 1 diabetes mellitus), multiple sclerosis, and respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchiectasis, and interstitial pneumonia). The early detection of IMIDs in IBD patients is important to prevent their deleterious clinical course and limit their psychological impact. Care for IBD patients with IMIDs should be multispecialist, with a single therapeutic strategy instead of treating each disease separately.

Abstract
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), an important cause of maldigestion and malnutrition, results from primary pancreatic disease or is secondary to impaired exocrine pancreatic function. Although chronic pancreatitis is the most common cause of EPI, several additional causes exist. These include pancreatic tumors, pancreatic resection procedures, and cystic fibrosis. Other diseases and conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and advanced patient age, have also been shown to be associated with EPI, but the exact etiology of EPI has not been clearly elucidated in these cases. The causes of EPI can be divided into loss of pancreatic parenchyma, inhibition or inactivation of pancreatic secretion, and postcibal pancreatic asynchrony. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is indicated for the conditions described above presenting with clinically clear steatorrhea, weight loss, or symptoms related to maldigestion and malabsorption. This review summarizes the current literature concerning those etiologies of EPI less common than chronic pancreatitis, the pathophysiology of the mechanisms of EPI associated with each diagnosis, and treatment recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is well recognized, uncertainties remain about the magnitude of this problem. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing prevalence of PSC in IBD to investigate whether type of IBD, how presence of PSC was defined, sex, disease extent or location, time period, or geographic location influenced prevalence. METHODS Medline, Embase, and Embase Classic were searched (from inception to April 10, 2021) to identify observational studies recruiting ≥50 adult patients with IBD and reporting prevalence of PSC. Data were extracted, and pooled prevalence, odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. RESULTS Of 1204 citations, 64 studies were eligible, containing 776,700 patients. Overall, pooled prevalence of PSC in IBD was 2.16%; it was highest in South America and lowest in Southeast Asia. Pooled prevalences in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and IBD-unclassified were 2.47%, 0.96%, and 5.01%, respectively. Pooled prevalence was significantly higher in UC versus CD (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.24-2.29). In subgroup analyses according to method used to define presence of PSC, the highest prevalence was 2.88% in studies performing both liver biochemistry and endoscopic retrograde/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and the lowest was 1.79% in studies using a clinical diagnosis. Prevalence was generally higher in men, patients with more extensive, compared with left-side, UC or ileocolonic or colonic, compared with ileal, CD. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide the first pooled estimates of the burden of PSC in IBD, as well as potential risk factors, which may be important in establishing a prompt diagnosis and initiating appropriate surveillance for relevant gastrointestinal malignancies.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a long-term, recurrent inflammatory bowel disease for which no effective cure is yet available in the clinical setting. Repairing the barrier dysfunction of the colon and reducing intestinal inflammation are considered key objectives to cure UC. Here we demonstrate a novel therapeutic strategy based on a C60 fullerene suspension (C60FS) to treat dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced UC in an animal model. C60FS can repair the barrier dysfunction of UC and effectively promote the healing of ulcers; it also manifests better treatment effects compared with mesalazine enema. C60FS can reduce the numbers of basophils in the blood of UC rats and mast cells in the colorectal tissue, thereby effectively alleviating inflammation. The expression of H1R, H4R, and VEGFR2 receptors in colorectal tissues is inhibited by C60FS, and the levels of histamine and prostaglandin in the rat blood are reduced. This work presents a reliable strategy based on fullerene to cure UC and provides a novel guide for UC treatment.

Despite the known functional relationship between the gut and the liver, the clinical consequences of this circuit remain unclear. We assessed the hepatobiliary phenotype of cohorts with celiac disease (CeD), Crohn´s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Baseline liver function tests and the frequency of hepatobiliary diseases were analyzed in 2377 CeD, 1738 CD, 3684 UC subjects and 488,941 controls from the population-based UK Biobank cohort. In this cohort study associations were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, diabetes, and alcohol consumption. Compared to controls, cohorts with CeD, but not CD/UC displayed higher AST/ALT values. Subjects with CD/UC but not CeD had increased GGT levels. Elevated ALP and cholelithiasis were significantly more common in all intestinal disorders. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were enriched in CeD and CD (NASH: taOR = 4.9 [2.2-11.0] in CeD, aOR = 4.2 [1.7-10.3] in CD, HCC: aOR = 4.8 [1.8-13.0] in CeD, aOR = 5.9 [2.2-16.1] in CD), while cholangitis was more common in the CD/UC cohorts (aOR = 11.7 [9.1-15.0] in UC, aOR = 3.5 [1.8-6.8] in CD). Chronic hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and cirrhosis were more prevalent in all intestinal disorders. In UC/CD, a history of intestinal surgery was associated with elevated liver enzymes and increased occurrence of gallstones (UC: aOR = 2.9 [2.1-4.1], CD: 1.7 [1.2-2.3]). Our data demonstrate that different intestinal disorders predispose to distinct hepatobiliary phenotypes. An increased occurrence of liver cirrhosis, NASH, AIH and HCC and the impact of surgery warrant further exploration.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are systemic diseases that manifest not only in the gut and gastrointestinal tract, but also in the extraintestinal organs in many patients. The quality of life for patients with IBD can be substantially affected by these extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). It is important to have knowledge of the prevalence, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of EIMs in order to adapt therapeutic options to cover all aspects of IBD. EIMs can occur in up to 24% of patients with IBD before the onset of intestinal symptoms, and need to be recognized to initiate appropriate diagnostic procedures. EIMs most frequently affect joints, skin, or eyes, but can also affect other organs, such as the liver, lung, and pancreas. It is a frequent misconception that a successful therapy of the intestinal inflammation will be sufficient to treat EIMs satisfactorily in most patients with IBD. In general, peripheral arthritis, oral aphthous ulcers, episcleritis, or erythema nodosum can be associated with active intestinal inflammation and can improve on standard treatment of the intestinal inflammation. However, anterior uveitis, ankylosing spondylitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis usually occur independent of disease flares. This review provides a comprehensive overview of epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of EIMs in IBD.

Abstract
CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old man with ulcerative colitis (UC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis presented with worsening shortness of breath, nonproductive cough, and intermittent fevers after he was found to have a WBC count of 27,000 cells/μL on an outpatient laboratory evaluation. He reported feeling progressively unwell with intermittent right upper quadrant pain and shortness of breath since a hospital admission for a UC flare 6 months prior, during which he was first diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis. He noted that prior to that admission 6 months ago, his UC had been in remission for > 10 years. He reported fevers up to 38.9°C on and off for several weeks but was afebrile (37.2°C) on presentation. He endorsed non-bloody diarrhea, chills, night sweats, leg swelling, and associated leg pain. He had a cough but denied sputum production. He reported no recent travels and denied sick contacts. His medications included mesalamine, ursodiol, montelukast, and an albuterol inhaler.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be at risk of developing portal venous system thrombosis (PVST) with worse outcomes. This study aims to explore the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST among patients with IBD. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. All the eligible studies were divided according to the history of colorectal surgery. Only the prevalence of PVST in patients with IBD was pooled if the history of colorectal surgery was unclear. The incidence of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery was pooled if the history of colorectal surgery was clear. Prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST were pooled by only a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed in patients undergoing imaging examinations. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were calculated. RESULTS A total of 36 studies with 143,659 patients with IBD were included. Among the studies where the history of colorectal surgery was unclear, the prevalence of PVST was 0.99, 1.45, and 0.40% in ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and unclassified IBD, respectively. Among the studies where all the patients underwent colorectal surgery, the incidence of PVST was 6.95, 2.55, and 3.95% in UC, CD, and unclassified IBD after colorectal surgery, respectively. Both the prevalence and incidence of PVST became higher in patients with IBD undergoing imaging examinations. Preoperative corticosteroids therapy (OR = 3.112, 95% CI: 1.017-9.525; p = 0.047) and urgent surgery (OR = 1.799, 95% CI: 1.079-2.998; p = 0.024) are significant risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery. The mortality of patients with IBD with PVST after colorectal surgery was 4.31% (34/789). CONCLUSION PVST is not rare, but potentially lethal in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery. More severe IBD, indicated by preoperative corticosteroids and urgent surgery, is associated with a higher risk of PVST after colorectal surgery. Therefore, screening for PVST by imaging examinations and antithrombotic prophylaxis in high-risk patients should be actively considered.

Abstract
Background and Aim Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease that can develop extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in a subgroup of patients. The aim of this work was to study the frequency and clinical factors associated with the development of EIMs. Methods We evaluated a total of 260 Mexican patients with confirmed UC who were followed retrospectively in order to identify the factors associated with the presence of EIMs. Results The frequency of EIM was 55.8%. The factors associated with the development of EIM were pancolitis (p = 0.003, OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.34-4.56) and previous colectomy (p = 0.024, OR = 7.54, 95% CI = 1.20-60.44). A clinical course of initial activity and then long remission for >5 years was found to be a protective factor (p = 0.002, OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.14-0.67). Conclusion The frequency of EIM was 55.8% in our population, and the factors associated with their development were pancolitis and colectomy; meanwhile, a clinical course of initial activity and then long remission was a protector feature.

Hepatobiliary manifestations in children with inflammatory bowel disease: A single-center experience in a low/middle income country. World J Gastrointest Pharmacol Ther 2020; 11:48-58. [PMID: 32844043 PMCID: PMC7416377 DOI: 10.4292/wjgpt.v11.i3.48] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been a worldwide increase in the reported incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children over the past 2-3 decades. The hepatobiliary (HB) manifestations of IBD have been well-studied in children in industrialized and developed countries but are infrequently reported in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) such as Egypt.
AIM To determine the prevalence of the HB manifestations in a cohort of Egyptian children with IBD.
METHODS This cross-sectional observational study was carried out over a period of 6 mo (between June 2013 to December 2013) at the Paediatric Hepatology and Gastroenterology Units of Cairo University Children's Hospital, which is the largest paediatric tertiary care centre in the country.
RESULTS The study included 48 patients with confirmed IBD based upon clinical, laboratory, endoscopic and histopathological features, 29 (60.4%) were male. Twenty-four patients (50%) had ulcerative colitis (UC), 11 (22.9%) had Crohn's disease (CD) and 13 (27.1%) had unclassified-IBD (IBD-U), which was formerly known as indeterminate colitis. The mean age of the patients at the time of presentation was 8.14 (± SD 4.02) years and the mean age at the time of study enrolment was 10.16 (± SD 4.19) years. All patients were screened for HB manifestations by physical examination, liver function tests, imaging and liver biopsy when indicated. HB disorders were confirmed in 13 patients (27.1%). Transaminases were elevated in 3 patients (6.3%). Two patients (4.2%) had elevated biliary enzymes (one was diagnosed as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and the other was diagnosed with PSC/autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome and the third patient had hepatitis C virus infection. Ten patients (20.8%) had bright echogenic liver on ultrasound suggesting fatty infiltration as a sequel of malnutrition or medication toxicity.
CONCLUSION The commonest HB disorders in Egyptian children with IBD were abnormal liver function tests, fatty infiltration and PSC. These HB manifestations in paediatric patients in LMIC may be relatively more common than in industrialized countries. Therefore, IBD patients in LMIC should be meticulously screened for liver disease to allow prompt diagnosis and management.

Abstract
METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL were systematically searched for correlative studies till 2 November 2019. RevMan5.3 was used to estimate relevance. RESULTS Three studies with 166008 participants were included. The risk of pancreatitis significantly increased in the patients with CD (OR, 3.40; 95% CI, 2.70-4.28; P < 0.00001) and UC (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.91-3.26; P < 0.00001). Increased risks of CD (OR, 12.90; 95% CI, 5.15-32.50; P < 0.00001) and UC (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.00-7.86; P = 0.05) were found in patients with chronic pancreatitis. As for patients with acute pancreatitis, there were significant association of CD (OR, 3.70; 95% CI, 1.90-7.60; P = 0.0002), but were not UC. CONCLUSIONS The evidence confirmed an association between pancreatitis and IBD. When pancreatitis patients have chronic diarrhea and mucus blood stool or IBD patients have repeated abdominal pain and weight loss, they should consult pancreatic and gastrointestinal specialists.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a highly prevalent medical condition, characterized by intrahepatic fat accumulation which may eventually lead to hepatic inflammation, cell death and reactive fibrosis. Obesity and metabolic disturbances constitute significant contributors to liver steatosis pathogenesis, however, there is a growing awareness that fatty liver may emerge even in normal weight or metabolically healthy individuals. In recent years, advanced imaging techniques have revealed that liver steatosis is quite common in inflammatory bowel disease patients, suggesting that intestinal inflammation and disturbances of the liver-gut axis may also play a key role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease pathophysiology. The current review focuses on the co-occurrence of the two disorders, integrating research findings on epidemiology, clinical characteristics and common pathophysiological processes. The study of liver steatosis in inflammatory bowel disease patients may provide useful insights on the complex links between dietary fat intake, metabolic dysregulation, gut physiology and intrahepatic cellular mechanisms underlying liver inflammation and damage.

Abstract
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic progressive liver disease. Sub-types of PSC have been described, most recently PSC with elevated serum and/or tissue IgG4 subclass. We aim to summarise the clinical phenotype, disease associations, differential diagnosis, response to therapy and pathogenic mechanisms underlying PSC-high IgG4 subtype. We reviewed PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase with the search terms "primary sclerosing cholangitis", "IgG4", and "IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC)". Elevated serum IgG4 are found in up-to one-quarter, and abundant IgG4-plasma cell infiltrates in the liver and bile ducts are found in up-to one-fifth of PSC patients. This group have a distinct clinical phenotype, with some studies reporting a more aggressive course of liver and associated inflammatory bowel disease, compared to PSC-normal IgG4 and the disease mimic IgG4-SC. Distinguishing PSC-high IgG4 from IgG4-SC remains challenging, requiring careful assessment of clinical features, organ involvement and tissue morphology. Calculation of serum IgG4:IgG1 ratios and use of a novel IgG4:IgG RNA ratio have been reported to have excellent specificity to distinguish IgG4-SC and PSC-high IgG4 but require validation in larger cohorts. A role for corticosteroid therapy in PSC-high IgG4 remains unanswered, with concerns of increased toxicity and lack of outcome data. The immunological drivers underlying prominent IgG4 antibodies in PSC are incompletely defined. An association with PSC-high IgG4 and HLA class-II haplotypes (B*07, DRB1*15), T-helper2 and T-regulatory cytokines (IL4, IL10, IL13) and chemokines (CCL1, CCR8) have been described. PSC-high IgG4 have a distinct clinical phenotype and need careful discrimination from IgG4-SC, although response to immunosuppressive treatments and long-term outcome remains unresolved. The presence of IgG4 likely represents chronic activation to persistent antigenic exposure in genetically predisposed individuals.

Zou ZY, Shen B, Fan JG. Systematic Review With Meta-analysis: Epidemiology of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2019; 25:1764-1772. [PMID: 30918952 DOI: 10.1093/ibd/izz043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly identified in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but there are few systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the studies of NAFLD in IBD patients. METHODS MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched (until August 2018) to identify observational studies that reported the prevalence and risk factors for NAFLD in IBD patients. Pooled prevalence, odds ratios (OR), mean difference (MD), and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Study quality was assessed using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS Of the 662 citations evaluated, 19 studies (including 5620 subjects) reported the prevalence of NAFLD in IBD population and were included for the analysis. The overall pooled prevalence was 27.5% (95% CI, 20.7%-34.2%). The prevalence was higher in older patients (MD = 8.22; 95% CI, 6.22-10.22), type 2 diabetes (OR = 3.85; 95% CI, 2.49-5.95), hypertension (OR = 3.18; 95% CI, 2.36-4.28), obesity (OR = 2.79; 95% CI, 1.73-4.50), insulin resistance (OR = 6.66; 95% CI, 1.28-34.77), metabolic syndrome (OR = 4.96; 95% CI, 3.05-8.05), chronic kidney disease (OR = 4.83; 95% CI, 1.79-13.04), methotrexate use (OR = 1.76; 95% CI, 1.02-3.06), surgery for IBD (OR = 1.28; 95% CI, 1.02-1.62), and longer duration of IBD (MD = 5.60; 95% CI, 2.24-8.97). CONCLUSIONS We found that NAFLD was not uncommon in the IBD population. Older age, metabolic risk factors, methotrexate use, prior surgery, and longer duration of IBD are predictors for the presence of NAFLD in IBD. Screening of NAFLD might be recommended among IBD patients with the aforementioned factors.

Abstract
Hepatobiliary disorders are frequent extraintestinal manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and may appear at any time point during the natural course of the disease. Conceptually, these manifestations can be categorised as: (1) disorders that have an association with IBD; (2) diseases directly and structurally related to intestinal inflammation; (3) diseases related to the adverse effects of IBD treatment; and (4) disorders stemming from the metabolic derangements caused by IBD. The clinical presentations of these disorders range from a mild transient elevation of liver enzymes to liver failure and death. Given this wide differential diagnosis and spectrum of severity, it is understandable that the evaluation of patients with IBD with a hepatobiliary abnormality is often challenging. In this review, we present a concise summary of the common hepatic manifestations seen in patients with IBD and focus on the relevant practical issues encountered by gastroenterologists caring for patients with IBD. A practical clinical approach to the evaluation of liver enzyme abnormalities in patients with IBD is provided based on the predominant enzyme elevation pattern (hepatocellular vs cholestatic), before presenting a working scheme for the prevention of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in patients with IBD receiving immunosuppressive medications. Finally, we specify several laboratory alterations seen in patients with IBD that can potentially interfere with the interpretation of liver function tests, before defining the specific circumstances when a referral for a hepatological consultation is required for further assessment.

Abstract
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory diseases that lead to progressive bowel damage including the development of stricturing and penetrating complications. Increasingly, cross-sectional imaging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance scans have emerged as leading tools to: (1) assess disease activity; (2) monitor response to therapy or disease recurrence; and (3) identify disease-related complications. Several validated radiological scoring systems have been developed to quantify cross-sectional and longitudinal inflammatory burden in these diseases and to monitor response to treatment. Bowel ultrasound is also a simple and inexpensive tool but is operator dependent in its performance.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder, primarily of, but not restricted to the gut. Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) are frequently observed and involve the joints, eyes, hepatobiliary tract, and skin. Areas covered: In this review, we discuss classical EIM focusing on epidemiology, genetics, and pathogenesis, highlighting recent advances in the understanding of EIM. We further discuss treatment-induced immunological phenomena, which are increasingly recognized and might challenge IBD-treating physicians in the era of biological treatment. Expert opinion: EIM considerably contributes to morbidity and mortality. Genetic studies have revealed a common genetic background between EIM and IBD and among specific EIM. Identified protein interactions have been shown to cluster in shared biological pathways. However - despite these recent advances - pathogenesis of EIM is at best partially understood. Several pathogenic mechanisms have been proposed such as upregulation of tumor necrosis factor, aberrant lymphocyte homing, and cross-reactive antigen presentation. It still remains unclear whether EIM is a direct result of the inflammatory process in the gut or rather a consequence of a shared genetic background leading to dysfunctional immune responses to environmental stimuli. Exploration and understanding of EIM genetics and pathophysiology will pave the road for better and more efficacious treatment options in the future.

Abstract
The role of microorganism in human diseases cannot be ignored. These microorganisms have evolved together with humans and worked together with body's mechanism to maintain immune and metabolic function. Emerging evidence shows that gut microbe and their metabolites open up new doors for the study of human response mechanism. The complexity and interdependence of these microbe-metabolite-host interactions are rapidly being elucidated. There are various changes of microbial levels in models or in patients of various autoimmune diseases (AIDs). In addition, the relevant metabolites involved in mechanism mainly include short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids (BAs), and polysaccharide A (PSA). Meanwhile, the interaction between microbes and host genes is also a factor that must be considered. It has been demonstrated that human microbes are involved in the development of a variety of AIDs, including organ-specific AIDs and systemic AIDs. At the same time, microbes or related products can be used to remodel body's response to alleviate or cure diseases. This review summarizes the latest research of microbes and their related metabolites in AIDs. More importantly, it highlights novel and potential therapeutics, including fecal microbial transplantation, probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics. Nonetheless, exact mechanisms still remain elusive, and future research will focus on finding a specific strain that can act as a biomarker of an autoimmune disease.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that encompasses Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Inflammatory bowel disease is not exclusive to the gastrointestinal system, as it has been identified to be associated with extraintestinal manifestations that encompass every other organ system in the human body. This review article will comprehensively review the current knowledge on extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, it will discuss the recommendations for screening and surveillance for extraintestinal manifestations in these patients since early appropriate diagnosis is imperative in preventing morbidity and cancer development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS We aimed to evaluate the potential of hepatobiliary phase magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as parameter for assessment of hepatocellular function in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). METHODS We collected data from 111 patients (83 male, 28 female; median, 44 years old), from March 2012 through March 2016, with a confirmed diagnosis of PSC who underwent MRI evaluation before and after injection (hepatobiliary phase) of a hepatocyte-specific contrast agent (gadoxetate disodium). Signal intensities were measured in each liver segment. Mean relative enhancement values were calculated and correlated with findings from liver functions tests, prognostic scoring systems (model for end-stage liver disease [MELD] score; Mayo risk score; Amsterdam-Oxford-PSC score), abnormalities detected by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (using the Amsterdam cholangiographic classification system), and clinical endpoints (liver transplantation, cholangiocarcinoma, liver-related death). Our primary aim was to associate relative enhancement values with liver function and patient outcomes. RESULTS Most patients had moderate-stage disease and had intermediate levels of risk (median MELD score, 8 and median Mayo score, 0.27). Clinical endpoints were reached by 21 patients (6 developed cholangiocarcinoma, 8 underwent liver transplantation, and 7 patients died). The highest levels of correlations were observed for relative enhancement 20 min after contrast injection and level of alkaline phosphatase (r = -0.636), bilirubin (r = -0.646), albumin (r = 0.538); as well as international normalized ratio (r = 0.456); MELD score (r = -0.587); Mayo risk score (r = -0.535), and Amsterdam-Oxford model score (r = -0.595) (P < .0001). Relative enhancement correlated with all clinical endpoints (all P < .05). A cutoff relative enhancement value of 0.65 identified patients with a clinical endpoint with 73.9% sensitivity 92.9% specificity (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.901; likelihood ratio, 10.34; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS In an analysis of 111 patients with PSC, we found MRI-measured relative enhancement, using a hepatocyte-specific contrast agent, to identify patients with clinical outcomes with 73.9% sensitivity 92.9% specificity. Long-term, multicenter studies are needed to further evaluate this marker of PSC progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Model of End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score was developed to predict mortality in patients with liver disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between preoperative MELD score and 30-day surgical outcomes using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. METHODS Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) (ICD: 556.X) who underwent colectomy were identified from NSQIP 2005 to 2013. The primary outcomes were bleeding complications, and overall morbidity and mortality. RESULTS A total of 7534 UC patients undergoing colectomy were identified. Patients with a higher MELD score had a longer hospital stay; more bleeding; and cardiac, respiratory, renal, thromboembolic, and septic complications as well as mortality. Patients were stratified into 4 groups by MELD score: < 7, 7-11, 12-15, and > 15 and a stratified multivariate analysis was done. Patients with a MELD score 12-15 (odds ratio [OR] 1.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-1.3) and MELD > 15 (OR 2.6, 95%CI 1.5-4.7) were at significant risk for bleeding complication. Apart from the MELD score, the presence of ascites (OR 2.5, 95%CI 1.2-5.1) or varices (OR 1.0, 95%CI 1.01-1.03) was also significantly associated with post-operative bleeding complication. MELD 12-15 and MELD > 15 were also found to be risk factors for overall morbidity (OR 5.3, 95%CI 1.8-15.7; OR 10.3, 95%CI 3.6-29.7, respectively) and mortality (OR 3.3, 95%CI 1.3-8.4; OR 5.9, 95%CI 2.4-14.6, respectively). CONCLUSION UC patients with a higher MELD score were associated with a higher post-colectomy morbidity and mortality. MELD score > 11 was an independent indicator for post-operative bleeding, and overall complications and mortality.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was shown to also occur in lean and underweight patients. So far, the prevalence of NAFLD in underweight individuals with and without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is insufficiently enlightened. In this cross-sectional age, gender and disease-matched case-control study, underweight patients (BMI<18.5 kg/m2) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), who underwent abdominal MRI at 1.5 T/3 T with fat-saturated fast-spin-echo imaging from 10/2005-07/2018 were analysed (control-to-case-ratio 1:1, n = 130). All patients were additionally investigated for duration, history of surgery, medical treatment, laboratory values, liver and spleen diameters. On MRI, liver fat was quantified by two observers based on the relative signal loss on T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR images with fat saturation compared to images without fat saturation. The prevalence of NAFLD/liver steatosis, defined as a measured intrahepatic fat content of at least 5%, was significantly higher in underweight IBD patients than in normal weight patients (87.6% versus 21.5%, p<0.001). Compared to the cases, the liver fat content of the controls was reduced by -0.19 units on average (-19%; 95%Cl: -0.20; -0.14). Similar results were obtained for the subgroup of non-IBD individuals (n = 12; -0.25 units on average (-25%); 95%Cl: -0.35; -0.14). Patients with extremely low body weight (BMI <17.5 kg/m2) showed the highest liver fat content (+0.15 units on average (+15%) compared to underweight patients with a BMI of 17.5-18.5 kg/m2 (p<0.05)). Furthermore, underweight patients showed slightly increased liver enzymes and liver diameters. There were no indications of significant differences in disease duration, type of medications or surgery between cases and controls and also, there were no significant differences between observers or field strengths (p>0.05). The prevalence of liver steatosis was higher among underweight IBD and non-IBD patients compared to normal weight controls. Also, underweight patients showed slightly increased liver enzymes and liver diameters, hinting at initial metabolic disturbances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly recognized comorbidity in Crohn's disease (CD), but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Autophagy is a highly conserved process regulating innate immunity that contributes to CD susceptibility. Emerging data suggest that variants in the autophagy-governing IRGM gene may contribute to the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and hepatic fat. Our objective was to characterize the relationship between VAT, IRGM gene variants, and NAFLD risk in patients with CD. METHODS We included all CD patients in the Prospective Registry in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Study at Massachusetts General Hospital (PRISM) without history of alcohol abuse or liver disease. Hepatic fat was quantified by liver attenuation (LA) on computed tomography, with NAFLD defined by the validated liver:spleen (L:S) ratio. NAFLD severity was estimated by the FIB-4 Index and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Using logistic regression modeling, we examined the relationship between VAT, autophagy gene variants, and NAFLD risk. RESULTS Among 462 patients, 52% had NAFLD. Increasing VAT quartile was associated with reduced LA (mean change, -7.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], -10.05 to -4.81; Ptrend < 0.0001). In the fully adjusted model, patients in the highest VAT quartile had a 2.2-fold increased NAFLD risk (95% CI, 1.21 to 4.14; Ptrend = 0.032) and a 4.2-fold increased risk of ALT>upper limit of normal (ULN) (95% CI, 1.19 to 14.76; Ptrend = 0.017). The relationship between VAT and NAFLD was modified by IRGM variants rs4958847 and rs13361189 (Pinteraction = 0.005 and Pinteraction < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In a large CD cohort, VAT was directly associated with prevalent NAFLD, and this relationship was augmented by functionally annotated IRGM variants associated with impaired autophagy.

Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation improves chronic colitis-associated complications through inhibiting the activity of toll-like receptor-4 in mice. BMC Gastroenterol 2018; 18:127. [PMID: 30103680 PMCID: PMC6090774 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-018-0850-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2017] [Accepted: 07/23/2018] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background A variety of extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs), including hepatobiliary complications, are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to play a potential role in the therapy of IBD. This study was designed to investigate the effect and mechanism of MSCs on chronic colitis-associated hepatobiliary complications using mouse chronic colitis models induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Methods DSS-induced mouse chronic colitis models were established and treated with MSCs. Severity of colitis was evaluated by disease activity index (DAI), body weight (BW), colon length and histopathology. Serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels were detected by limulus amebocyte lysate test (LAL-test). Histology and liver function of the mice were checked correspondingly. Serum LPS levels and bacterial translocation of mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were detected. Pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), Toll receptor 4 (TLR4), TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were detected by immunohistochemical staining, western blot analysis and real-time PCR, respectively. Results The DSS-induced chronic colitis model was characterized by reduced BW, high DAI, worsened histologic inflammation, and high levels of LPS and E. coli. Liver histopathological lesions, impaired liver function, enhanced proteins and mRNA levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-17A, TLR4, TRAF6 and NF-κB were observed after DSS administration. MSCs transplantation markedly ameliorated the pathology of colon and liver by reduction of LPS levels and proteins and mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-17A, TLR4, TRAF6 and NF-κB. Conclusions MSCs can improve chronic colitis-associated hepatobiliary complications, probably by inhibition of enterogenous endotoxemia and hepatic inflammation through LPS/TLR4 pathway. MSCs may represent a novel therapeutic approach for chronic colitis-associated hepatobiliary complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Herein, NAFLD prevalence and risk factors in a large IBD cohort were evaluated and compared to that of a non-IBD sample. METHODS Crohn's disease/ulcerative colitis outpatients referred to IBD service of our Gastroenterology Unit were enrolled. Subjects affected by functional and motor gastrointestinal disorders, in whom IBD was ruled out, referred to general outpatient service in the same area, were considered as nonIBD group. Exclusion criteria were based on previous diagnosis of nonNAFLD chronic liver diseases and secondary causes of fat liver overload. Characteristics of IBD and liver status were collected. Risk factors for metabolic syndrome were analyzed. Ultrasonographic presence and degree of steatosis were assessed. Data were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS For this study 465 IBD and 189 non-IBD subjects were consecutively enrolled. NAFLD was found in 28.0% and 20.1% in IBD and non-IBD subjects, respectively (P = 0.04). IBD patients with NAFLD were younger than non-IBD ones. There was no significant difference in steatosis grade and association between NAFLD and IBD behavior, extension, activity, and drugs. In the IBD group, multivariate analysis demonstrated that NAFLD was independently associated to metabolic syndrome (OR=2.24, 95%CI 1.77-28.81), diabetes (OR=1.71, 95%CI 1.43-12.25), fasting blood glucose (OR=1.36, 95%CI 1.13-1.68), and abdominal circumference (OR=1.68, 95%CI 1.15-14.52). CONCLUSIONS NAFLD is more common and occurs at a younger age in IBD than in nonIBD subjects. However, further investigation is required to ascertain possible NAFLD pathogenic IBD-related factors other than conventional/metabolic ones. 10.1093/ibd/izy051_video1izy051.video15774874877001.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) frequently reveal features of pancreatic inflammation. However, the prevalence of IBD in patients with alcoholic pancreatitis (AP) and nonalcoholic pancreatitis (NAP) has not yet been determined, and the prevalence of IBD in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AiP) from Germany is unknown. AIMS Thus, we aimed, first, to determine the prevalence of IBD in AP, NAP, and AiP from a tertiary center in Germany and, second, to characterize patients with AiP and IBD. METHODS We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of IBD in patients with different forms of pancreatitis presenting to our clinic. RESULTS Compared to the general population and to a control group with viral hepatitis from our clinic, we observed the most significant increase of IBD in patients with AiP (n = 3/28; p < 0.0001 vs. general population, binomial proportion test; p = 0.0112 vs. hepatitis group, Fisher's exact test), followed by a significant increase in subjects with NAP (n = 11/278; p < 0.0001 vs. general population, binomial proportion test; p = 0.0338 vs. hepatitis group, Fisher's exact test). A review of previous studies on the prevalence of IBD among patients with AiP revealed a combined prevalence of 12 % (n = 43/355). Type 2 AiP is significantly more often associated with IBD than type 1 AiP (n = 28/48, 58 % vs. n = 7/129, 5 %; combined patient cohort, p < 10E - 12; Fisher's exact test). CONCLUSIONS Immune-mediated mechanisms related to IBD may participate in the development of AiP, especially AiP type 2, and may also increase the risk for the development of other forms of pancreatic inflammation.

Abstract
Liver and biliary track diseases are common extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), reported both in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and may occur at any time during the natural course of the disease. Their etiology is mainly related to pathophysiological changes induced by IBD, and secondary, due to drugs used in IBD. Fatty liver is considered as the most frequent hepatobiliary manifestation in IBD, while primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is the most correlated hepatobiliary disorder and is more prevalent in patients with ulcerative colitis. PSC can cause serious complications from the liver, biliary tree, and gallbladder and can lead to liver failure. Less frequently, IBD-associated hepatobiliary manifestations include cholelithiasis, granulomatous hepatitis, portal vein thrombosis, IgG4-related cholangiopathy, pyogenic liver abscess, hepatic amyloidosis and primary biliary cirrhosis. Most of the drugs used for IBD treatment may cause liver toxicity. Methotrexate and thiopurines carry the higher risk for hepatotoxicity, and in many cases, dose adjustment may normalize the liver biochemical tests. Reactivation of hepatitis B and C virus during immunosuppressive use, especially during use of biological agents, is a major concern, and adequate screening, vaccination and prophylactic treatment is warranted.

Abstract
We assessed the subsequent risk of cholelithiasis development in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) such as Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). We identified 8186 patients who aged ≥20 years and were diagnosed with IBD between 2000 and 2010 as the study cohort. A total of 8186 patients without IBD were selected by frequency-matching according to age, sex, comorbidities, and the index date of diagnosis, and they were identified as the control cohort. To measure the incidence of cholelithiasis, all patients were followed up until the end of 2011. The risk of developing cholelithiasis, either gallbladder stone disease (GSD; adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.34–2.61) or common bile duct (CBD) stones and intrahepatic stones (IHSs; aHR = 2.78, 95% CI = 1.18–6.51), was higher for the CD cohort than for the non-IBD cohort after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities of hyperlipidemia, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, stroke, coronary artery disease, and hepatitis C virus infection. However, UC was related to the development of GSD (aHR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.19–1.75) but not to CBD stones and IHSs (aHR = 1.70, 95% CI = 0.99–2.91). Our population-based cohort study demonstrated that CD is related to the development of cholelithiasis, including GSD alone and non-GSD-associated cholelithiasis. However, UC is only related to the development of GSD alone.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) represent a group of intestinal disorders with a chronic and relapsing inflammation of the gut, and with a potential risk of systemic involvement of other organs and systems. Over the pediatric age, an incidence higher than 20% of developing extraintestinal manifestation during follow-up has been reported. The liver and the biliary system are frequently involved, and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is the most predominant entity with an incidence rate of 6.4-7.8% in children. PSC recognizes a multifactorial pathogenesis, and so far a not fully known mechanism for this association. The peculiar phenotype and the distinct clinical course of patients with IBD and PSC-associated make this 'linkage' an attractive study model to better understand mechanisms underlying these diseases. Approaching to these patients is complex and multidisciplinary, and a unique therapeutic strategy has not been standardized yet. New medications are being studied; however, further studies are needed to fully understand the pathogenesis and to improve the care of these patients. The aim of this paper is to review the recent literature regarding hepatobiliary involvement in IBD patients, with particular attention to PSC, and to provide the latest information for a correct diagnosis and appropriate management.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are at an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), a devastating complication of which intestinal dysplasia is the precursor. Considerable progress has been made to determine CRC risk in IBD, identification & management of dysplasia and preventative methods. Traditionally, surveillance colonoscopies with random colonic biopsies was used. However recent data suggests that chromoendoscopy is a better method of surveillance. Using 5-aminosalicylic acid agents primarily for chemoprevention is an ongoing debate however, when prescribed along with other strategies to control inflammation, their use is considered of benefit. This review presents current understanding of risk factors of neoplasia focusing on dysplasia and preventive strategies. Areas covered: PubMed search was done using key words to assess current evidence. Along with genetics, risk factors, strategies that modify the risk of dysplasia, and CRC in IBD are discussed in detail. Expert commentary: The role of our strategies in modifying CRC risk needs further assessment. Future research should aim to fill knowledge gaps such as high quality evidence for Chromoendoscopy and development of molecular markers for dysplasia detection. Our ultimate goal would be to eliminate CRC and is possible by better understanding of key pathogenic mechanisms in IBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between chronic pancreatitis (CP) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a large population-based cohort study. METHODS Data was obtained from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The cohort study comprised 17,796 patients newly diagnosed with CP between 2000 and 2010 and 71,164 matched controls. A Cox proportional hazards model was used for evaluating the risk of IBD in the CP and comparison cohorts. RESULTS When examined with a mean follow-up period of 4.87 and 6.04 years for the CP and comparison cohorts, respectively, the overall incidence of IBD was 10.3 times higher in the CP cohort than in the comparison cohort (5.75 vs. 0.56 per 10,000 person-years). Compared with the comparison cohort, the CP cohort exhibited a higher risk of IBD, irrespective of age, sex, and presence or absence of comorbidities. Moreover, the CP cohort was associated with a significantly higher risk of Crohn's disease (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 12.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.15-32.5) and ulcerative colitis (aHR = 2.80, 95% CI = 1.00-7.86). CONCLUSIONS This nationwide population-based cohort study revealed a significantly higher risk of IBD in patients with CP compared with control group. Clinicians should notice this association to avoid delayed diagnosis of IBD in patients with CP.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing immune-mediated inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. IBD includes two major disease entities: Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and surveillance of these complex disorders. Computed tomographic and magnetic resonance enterographic techniques have been refined in recent years to provide a superb means of evaluating the gastrointestinal tract for suspected IBD. Although the intestinal imaging manifestations of IBD have been extensively discussed in the radiology literature, extraintestinal imaging manifestations of IBD have received less attention. Multiple extraintestinal manifestations may be seen in IBD, including those of gastrointestinal (hepatobiliary and pancreatic), genitourinary, musculoskeletal, pulmonary, cardiac, ocular, and dermatologic disorders. Although many associations between IBD and extraintestinal organ systems have been well established, other associations have not been fully elucidated. Some extraintestinal disorders may share a common pathogenesis with IBD. Other extraintestinal disorders may occur as a result of unintended treatment-related complications of IBD. Although extraintestinal disorders within the abdomen and pelvis may be well depicted with cross-sectional enterography, other musculoskeletal and thoracic disorders may be less evident with such examinations and may warrant further investigation with additional imaging examinations or may be readily apparent from the findings at physical examination. Radiologists involved in the interpretation of IBD imaging examinations must be aware of potential extraintestinal manifestations, to provide referring clinicians with an accurate and comprehensive profile of patients with these complex disorders. © RSNA, 2017.
