J Pers Med 2024; 14:580. [PMID: 38929801 PMCID: PMC11204779 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14060580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) is a life-threatening medical emergency with considerable morbidity. Despite recent advances in medical IBD therapy, colectomy rates for ASUC remain high. A scoping review of published articles on ASUC was performed. We collected data, such as general information of the disease, diagnosis and initial assessment, and available medical and surgical treatments focusing on technical aspects of surgical approaches. The most relevant articles were considered in this scoping review. The management of ASUC is challenging; currently, personalized treatment for it is unavailable. Sequential medical therapy should be administrated, preferably in high-volume IBD centers with close patient monitoring and indication for surgery in those cases with persistent symptoms despite medical treatment, complications, and clinical worsening. A total colectomy with end ileostomy is typically performed in the acute setting. Managing rectal stump is challenging, and all individual and technical aspects should be considered. Conversely, when performing elective colectomy for ASUC, a staged surgical procedure is usually preferred, thus optimizing the patients' status preoperatively and minimizing postoperative complications. The minimally invasive approach should be selected whenever technically feasible. Robotic versus laparoscopic ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has shown similar outcomes in terms of safety and postoperative morbidity. The transanal approach to ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (Ta-IPAA) is a recent technique for creating an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis via a transanal route. Early experiences suggest comparable short- and medium-term functional results of the transanal technique to those of traditional approaches. However, there is a need for additional comparative outcomes data and a better understanding of the ideal training and implementation pathways for this procedure. This manuscript predominantly explores the surgical treatment of ASUC. Additionally, it provides an overview of currently available medical treatment options that the surgeon should reasonably consider in a multidisciplinary setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Chromoendoscopy with the use of indigo carmine (IC) dye is a crucial endoscopic technique to identify gastrointestinal neoplasms. However, its performance is limited by the endoscopist's skill, and no standards are available for lesion identification. Thus, we developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to replace chromoendoscopy. METHODS This pilot study assessed the feasibility of our novel AI model in the conversion of white-light images (WLI) into virtual IC-dyed images based on a generative adversarial network. The predictions of our AI model were evaluated against the assessments of five endoscopic experts who were blinded to the purpose of this study with a staining quality rating from 1 (unacceptable) to 4 (excellent). RESULTS The AI model successfully transformed the WLI of polyps with different morphologies and different types of lesions in the gastrointestinal tract into virtual IC-dyed images. The quality ratings of the real IC-dyed and AI images did not significantly differ concerning surface structure (AI vs IC: 3.08 vs 3.00), lesion border (3.04 vs 2.98), and overall contrast (3.14 vs 3.02) from 10 sets of images (10 AI images and 10 real IC-dyed images). Although the score depended significantly on the evaluator, the staining methods (AI or real IC) and evaluators had no significant interaction (P > 0.05) with each other. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated the feasibility of employing AI model's virtual IC staining, increasing the possibility of being employed in daily practice. This novel technology may facilitate gastrointestinal lesion identification in the future.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which encompasses Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, experience chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Those with IBD face a higher risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to individuals without IBD. This escalated risk is associated with various factors, some modifiable and others non-modifiable, with disease activity being the primary concern. Interestingly, Janus Kinase inhibitors approved for the treatment of IBD may be associated with an increased risk of VTE but only in patients that have other underlying risk factors leading to an overall increased VTE risk. Several recognized medical societies have recommended the use of VTE prophylaxis for hospitalized individuals with IBD. The association between VTE and IBD and the need for pharmacologic prophylaxis remains under-recognized. Increased awareness of this complication can hopefully protect patients from a potentially deadly complication.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients who underwent surgery for cancer/dysplasia with those who underwent surgery for refractory disease and to discuss the preoperative preparation for successful hand-sewn IPAA. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for UC between January 2014 and December 2021 at Hyogo Medical University were included in the study. A total of 443 UC surgical cases were included in the study, which comprised 188 cancer/dysplasia patients and 255 refractory patients. Clinical records were compared retrospectively. RESULTS The proportion of surgical UC cases with cancer/dysplasia has been on the rise, accounting for approximately 40% in recent years. The duration of disease (months) was 186 (2-590) in the cancer/dysplasia group and 48 (1-580) in the refractory group (p = 0.02). UC severity (mild/moderate/severe) was 119/69/0 in the cancer/dysplasia group and 18/157/80 in the refractory group (p < 0.01). The four nutrition factors of weight (55.2 (32.7-99.6) kg: 49.9 (20.3-85.2) kg), body mass index (21.0 (13.9-32.5) kg/m2: 18.3 (11.4-34.1)kg/m2), serum albumin level (4.3 (2.7-5.0)g/dl: 3.4 (1.4-5.2)g/dl) and prognostic nutrition index (49.2 (33.2-61.2): 40.9 (17.4-61.1)) were significantly higher in the cancer/dysplasia group (p < 0.01). The degree of obesity was also significantly higher in the cancer/dysplasia group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION UC patients with cancer/dysplasia were more likely than refractory patients to have mild inflammation; they also had a longer duration of UC disease and better nutritional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammation, such as ulcerative colitis, increases the risk of developing colitis-associated cancers. Currently, mice administered with azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate are well-known models for colitis-associated cancers. Although human colitis-associated cancers are often flat lesions, most azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate mouse cancers are raised lesions. AIMS To establish a novel mouse model for colitis-associated cancers and evaluate its characteristics. METHODS A single dose of azoxymethane was intraperitoneally administered to CD4-dnTGFβRII mice, which are genetically modified mice that spontaneously develop inflammatory bowel disease at different doses and timings. The morphological and biological characteristics of cancers was assessed in these mice. RESULTS Colorectal cancer developed with different proportions in each group. In particular, a high rate of cancer was observed at 10 and 20 weeks after administration in 12-week-old CD4-dnTGFβRII mice dosed at 15 mg/kg. Immunohistochemical staining of tumors was positive for β-catenin, ki67, and Sox9 but not for p53. Grade of inflammation was significantly higher in mice with cancer than in those without cancer (p < 0.001). In CD4-dnTGFβRII/azoxymethane mice, adenocarcinomas with flat lesions were observed, with moderate-to-severe inflammation in the non-tumor area. In comparison, non-tumor areas of azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate mice had less inflammation than those of CD4-dnTGFβRII/azoxymethane mice, and most macroscopic characteristics of tumors were pedunculated or sessile lesions in azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate mice. CONCLUSIONS Although feasibility and reproducibility of azoxymethane/CD4-dbTGFβRII appear to be disadvantages compared to the azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate model, this is the first report to demonstrate that the chronic inflammatory colitis model, CD4-dnTGFβRII also develops colitis-related colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic vascular complications. Although studies from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) examined this association to some extent, sub-stratification for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in larger studies is lacking. The aims of this study were to utilize the NIS to determine the prevalence of thromboembolic events in inpatients with IBD compared to in patients without IBD and to explore the inpatient outcomes like morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization in patients with IBD and thromboembolic events as stratified by disease subtype. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study using the NIS 2016. All patients with ICD10-CM codes for IBD were included. Patients with thromboembolic events were identified using diagnostic ICD codes and stratified into 4 categories: (1) Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), (2) Pulmonary embolism (PE), (3) Portal vein thrombosis (PVT), and (4) Mesenteric ischemia, which were then sub-stratified for CD and UC. The primary outcome was the inpatient prevalence and odds of thromboembolic events in patients with IBD compared to without IBD. Secondary outcomes were inpatient morbidity, mortality, resource utilization, colectomy rates, hospital length of stay (LOS), and total hospital costs and charges compared to patients with IBD and thromboembolic events. RESULTS A total of 331,950 patients with IBD were identified, of who 12,719 (3.8%) had an associated thromboembolic event. For the primary outcome, after adjusting for confounders, inpatients with IBD had higher adjusted odds of DVT (aOR 1.59, p < 0.001), PE (aOR 1.20, p < 0.001), PVT (aOR 3.18, p < 0.001) and mesenteric ischemia (aOR 2.49, p < 0.001) compared to inpatients without IBD, an observation which was confirmed for both patients with CD and UC. Inpatients with IBD and associated DVT, PE and mesenteric ischemia had higher morbidity, mortality, odds of colectomy, cost, and charges. CONCLUSIONS Inpatients with IBD have higher odds of associated thromboembolic disorders compared to patients without IBD. Furthermore, inpatients with IBD and thromboembolic events have significantly higher mortality, morbidity, colectomy rates and resource utilization. For these reasons, increased awareness and specialized strategies for the prevention and management of thromboembolic events should be considered in inpatients with IBD.

Abstract
Background and purpose Iron metabolism in myasthenia gravis (MG) and factors associated with it are explored by few published studies. Therefore, this study aimed to compare iron metabolism patterns between patients with MG and healthy individuals as well as between the same group of patients before and after immunotherapy, and to identify predictors of iron metabolism disorders in MG. Materials and methods For this study, 105 patients and healthy individuals were included at baseline, after which paired parametric and non-parametric tests were adopted to compare their iron metabolism patterns, and multivariate binary logistic regression was used to identify predictors of iron metabolism disorders. Patients with MG were then followed up for 12 ± 3 months to explore alterations in their iron metabolism patterns after starting immunotherapy with the help of paired tests. Results Non-anemic immunotherapy-naive patients with MG had significantly lower serum iron (SI) and transferrin saturation (TS) levels than healthy individuals. Premenopausal female was significantly associated with SI < 65 μg/dL and iron deficiency in these patients. However, iron metabolism parameters did not significantly alter after around 12 months of immunotherapy in patients with MG. Conclusion Iron inadequacy was present in patients with MG, particularly premenopausal female patients, and it would hardly improve after immunotherapy. Given the significant role of iron in human body, it should be given more attention in patients with MG.

Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study was to examine how the clinical characteristics, indications for surgery, and postoperative course of ulcerative colitis (UC) surgical patients changed before and after the introduction of biological agents. Methods Patients who underwent surgery for UC at Hyogo Medical University between 2000 and 2019 were included in the study; those who underwent surgery between 2000 and 2009 were included in the early group (n = 864), and those who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2019 were included in the late group (n = 834); each study factor was retrospectively compared. Results The mean ages at surgery (y) were 39.7 ± 15.1 y in the early group and 46.7 ± 17.8 y in the late group (P < .01). Antitumor necrosis factor agents were used (%) in 2 (0.2) patients in the early group and 317 (38.0) patients in the late group (P < .01). The number of cancer or dysplasia patients for whom surgery was indicated was significantly higher in the late group (11%/26%, P = .01). With regard to surgery in elderly individuals, the number of elderly patients (65 y and older) undergoing surgery was significantly higher in the late group (8.0%/18.6%, P < .01). For emergency surgery, the mortality rates were 16.7% (2/12) in the early surgery group and 15.7% (8/51) in the late surgery group (P = .61). Conclusion The characteristics of UC patients requiring surgery in Japan have changed. The distribution of surgical indications changed, and the number of patients with cancer and dysplasia requiring surgery increased. The prognosis of elderly patients who underwent emergency surgery was poor.

Abstract
Iron deficiency is frequent in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g., chronic heart failure, chronic kidney disease, cancers, and bowel inflammatory diseases). Indeed, high concentrations of inflammatory cytokines increase hepcidin concentrations that lead to the sequestration of iron in cells of the reticuloendothelial system (functional iron deficiency). Iron parameters are often assessed only in the context of anemia, but iron deficiency, even without anemia, is present in about half of patients with inflammatory conditions. Iron deficiency worsens underlying chronic diseases and is an independent factor of morbidity and mortality. In daily practice, the most effective biomarkers of iron status are serum ferritin, which reflects iron storage, and transferrin saturation, which reflects the transport of iron. Serum ferritin is increased in an inflammatory context, and there is still no consensus on the threshold to be used in chronic inflammatory conditions. Nevertheless, recent recommendations of international guidelines agreed to define iron deficiency by serum ferritin <100 µg/L and/or transferrin saturation <20%. Iron parameters remain, however, insufficiently assessed in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions. Indeed, clinical symptoms of iron deficiency, such as fatigue, are not specific and often confused with those of the primary disease. Iron repletion, preferably by the intravenous route to bypass tissue sequestration, improves clinical signs and quality of life. Because of the negative impact of iron deficiency on chronic inflammatory diseases and the efficacy of intravenous iron repletion, screening of iron parameters should be part of the routine examination of all patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Improved utilization of surgical interventions to improve patient outcomes has led to an increased need to endoscopically evaluate and treat the bowel after surgery. The best outcomes are attained when the endoscopist coordinates with the surgeon, and in some cases the pathologist or radiologist to plan the procedure. Understanding the anatomy and pathology anticipated can allow planning for sedation, bowel cleanse and equipment needed. Surgically altered anatomy can create challenges that with planning can be overcome. This article will review how to prepare and navigate several of the most commonly encountered surgical interventions.

Abstract
The intestinal microbiome plays an essential role in human health and disease status. So far, microbiota transplantation is considered a potential therapeutic approach for treating some chronic diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The diversity of gut microbiota is critical for maintaining resilience, and therefore, transplantation with numerous genetically diverse gut microbiota with metabolic flexibility and functional redundancy can effectively improve gut health than a single probiotic strain supplement. Studies have shown that natural fecal microbiota transplantation or washing microbiota transplantation can alleviate colitis and improve intestinal dysbiosis in IBD patients. However, unexpected adverse reactions caused by the complex and unclear composition of the flora limit its wider application. The evolving strain isolation technology and modifiable pre-existing strains are driving the development of microbiota transplantation. This review summarized the updating clinical and preclinical data of IBD treatments from fecal microbiota transplantation to washing microbiota transplantation, and then to artificial consortium transplantation. In addition, the factors considered for strain combination were reviewed. Furthermore, four types of artificial consortium transplant products were collected to analyze their combination and possible compatibility principles. The perspective on individualized microbiota transplantation was also discussed ultimately.

Abstract
The number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has increased remarkably in recent years. However, the level of health care for IBD patients varies greatly among regions of China. Standardization of health care for IBD patients is essential to improve quality of care (QoC). The mission of the IBD Quality Care Evaluation Center (IBDQCC) is to establish indicators for QoC. Since 2017, the IBDQCC has developed structure, process, and outcome indicators with the steering committee of IBD specialists and methodologists; 28 core and 13 secondary IBD QoC indicators were selected using a Delphi method. Applications for certification of IBD quality care units were made voluntarily and preliminarily screened through the IBDQCC committee. Regional units had to meet all core indicators, and units of excellence were required to meet all core indicators together with an additional 50% of secondary indicators. As of 2019 and 2020, 69 IBD units (all from tertiary referral hospitals) have been certified as regional IBD units in China. The certification of excellence of the IBD units is currently undergoing auditing. The awareness of and appreciation for QoC in IBD is increasing in China, especially through the quality control evaluation program initiated by the IBDQCC, with a higher number of IBD units applying for the next round of certification. Although secondary indicators seem to play relatively minor roles in QoC, they suggest additional requirements for high-level centers.

Food Chem Toxicol 2022; 165:113146.

Abstract
Nod-like receptor pyrin domain-1 containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome/tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)/nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) inflammatory pathway is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Inversely, miRNA-223 can exert counter-regulatory effect on NLRP3 expression. The mulberry tree (Morus macroura) fruit is attaining increased importance for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in addition to its high safety profile. Accordingly, we attempted to explore the possible protective effect of mulberry fruit extract (MFE) in acetic acid (AA)-induced UC rat model. Phytochemical constituents of MFE were characterized using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). In the in vivo study, three doses of MFE were orally given for seven days before intra-rectal induction of UC by AA on day eight. Screening study revealed that MFE (300 mg/kg) significantly reduced macroscopic and microscopic UC scores. Biochemically, MFE ameliorated oxidative stress, levels of TNFR1, NLRP3, p-NFκB p65, TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-18, caspase-1 activity, but enhanced miRNA-223 expression. In conclusion, our study provided a novel protective impact for MFE against UC, in which miRNA-223 and TNFα/NFκB/NLRP3 pathway are involved. These results provide a promising step that might encourage further investigations of MFE as a protective agent in UC patients.

Abstract
AIMS It remains controversial as to whether targeted biopsies should completely replace random biopsies for dysplasia surveillance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Several histologic patterns of non-conventional dysplasia have been described in IBD. This study aimed to investigate the rate and clinicopathologic features of dysplastic lesions found in total colectomy or proctocolectomy specimens that were undetected on prior colonoscopy. METHODS AND RESULTS The study analyzed 207 consecutive IBD patients who underwent a total colectomy or proctocolectomy and had at least one high definition colonoscopy prior to colectomy. Dysplasia found in the colectomy specimens was classified as undetected, only when there was no corresponding site of dysplasia detected on previous colonoscopic biopsies. Twenty-seven (13%) patients had 49 undetected dysplastic lesions found only at colectomy, while 22 (11%) had 31 previously detected dysplastic lesions only. The remaining 158 (76%) patients had no dysplasia. A greater proportion of the undetected (19%) or previously detected (23%) dysplasia group had concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis compared with only 3% in the group without dysplasia (p < 0.001). The undetected dysplastic lesions were more likely to have non-conventional dysplastic features (76%), low-grade dysplasia (94%), and a flat/invisible gross appearance (73%) compared with the previously detected dysplastic lesions (13%, 68%, and 48%, respectively) (p < 0.05). Almost all patients with undetected dysplasia (93%) had a colonoscopy within 1 year of colectomy. CONCLUSIONS The rate of undetected dysplasia is not insignificant (13%), suggesting that increased random biopsies may improve the rate of dysplasia detection, including non-conventional dysplasia.

Abstract
This article is an overview of guidelines for the clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of predominantly colonic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). This overview describes the systematically and comprehensively multidisciplinary recommendations based on the updated principles of evidence-based literature to promote the adoption of best surgical practices and research as well as patient and specialized healthcare provider education. Colonic IBD represents idiopathic, chronic, inflammatory disorders encompassing Crohn's colitis (CC) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the two unsolved medical subtypes of this condition, which present similarity in their clinical and histopathological characteristics. The standard state-of-the-art classification diagnostic steps are disease evaluation and assessment according to the Montreal classification to enable explicit communication with professionals. The signs and symptoms on first presentation are mainly connected with the anatomical localization and severity of the disease and less with the resulting diagnosis "CC" or "UC". This can clinically and histologically be non-definitive to interpret to establish criteria and is classified as indeterminate colitis (IC). Conservative surgical intervention varies depending on the disease phenotype and accessible avenues. The World Gastroenterology Organizations has, for this reason, recommended guidelines for clinical diagnosis and management. Surgical intervention is indicated when conservative treatment is ineffective (refractory), during intractable gastrointestinal hemorrhage, in obstructive gastrointestinal luminal stenosis (due to fibrotic scar tissue), or in the case of abscesses, peritonitis, or complicated fistula formation. The risk of colitis-associated colorectal cancer is realizable in IBD patients before and after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Therefore, endoscopic surveillance strategies, aimed at the early detection of dysplasia, are recommended. During the COVID-19 pandemic, IBD patients continued to be admitted for IBD-related surgical interventions. Virtual and phone call follow-ups reinforcing the continuity of care are recommended. There is a need for special guidelines that explore solutions to the groundwork gap in terms of access limitations to IBD care in developing countries, and the irregular representation of socioeconomic stratification needs a strategic plan for how to address this serious emerging challenge in the global pandemic.

Risk Factors for Worsening of Bone Loss in Patients Newly Diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2022; 2022:1498293. [PMID: 35419052 PMCID: PMC9001094 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1498293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background. Bone loss is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic bone disease in patients newly diagnosed with IBD and to identify the risk factors for bone loss over time. Methods. We performed a retrospective, both cross-sectional and longitudinal, study to extract the risk factors of bone loss (including osteopenia and osteoporosis) in patients newly diagnosed with IBD, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results. A total of 639 patients newly diagnosed with IBD that had at least one DXA were included in the cross-sectional study. Osteopenia and osteoporosis were diagnosed in 24.6% and 5.4% of patients, respectively. Age at diagnosis, body mass index, and serum phosphorus were identified as independent factors associated with bone loss at baseline. A total of 380 of the 639 IBD patients (including 212 CD patients and 168 UC patients) with at least a second DXA scan were included in the longitudinal study. 42.6% of the patients presented a worsening of bone loss in the follow-up study. Menopause, albumin, and use of corticosteroids were identified as independent factors associated with worsening of bone loss. Conclusions. Metabolic bone disease is common in IBD patients, and there is a significant increase in prevalence of bone loss over time. Postmenopausal female, malnourished patients, and those requiring corticosteroid treatment are at risk for persistent bone loss. Therefore, BMD measurements and early intervention with supplementation of calcium and vitamin D are recommended in IBD patients with high-risk factors.

Towards a Common Definition for the Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14051039. [PMID: 35268014 PMCID: PMC8912638 DOI: 10.3390/nu14051039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Iron deficiency (ID) in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases is frequent. However, under-diagnosis is also frequent due to the heterogeneity between guidelines from different medical societies. We applied a common definition for the diagnosis of ID to a large panel of patients with cancer, heart failure (HF), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and chronic kidney disease (CKD), where ID was defined as serum ferritin concentration <100 μg/L and/or a transferrin saturation (TSAT) index <20%. Prevalence estimates using this common definition were compared with that obtained with officially accepted definitions (ESMO 2018, ESC 2016, ECCO 2015, and ERBP 2013). For that purpose, we used data collected during the French CARENFER studies, which included 1232, 1733, 1090, and 1245 patients with cancer, HF, IBD, and CKD, respectively. When applying the common definition, ID prevalence increased to 58.1% (vs. 57.9%), 62.8% (49.6%), and 61.2% (23.7%) in cancer, HF, and IBD patients, respectively. Both prevalence estimates were similar (47.1%) in CKD patients. Based on our results, we recommend combining both ferritin concentration and TSAT index to define ID in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. In those patients, adopting this common definition of ID should contribute to a better screening for ID, whatever the condition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated colorectal cancer represents the 1-2% of all patients affected by colorectal carcinoma, but it is frequent responsible for death in these patients. Aim of this systematic review was to report the complications after bowel resection in patients with IBD associated cancer. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis statement. The search was carried out in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science databases. A total of 54,084 articles were found. Of these 38,954 were eliminated because were duplicates between the searches. Of the remaining 15,130 articles, 14,888 were excluded after screening title and abstract. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Two-hundred-forty-two articles were fully analyzed, and 239 further articles were excluded. Finally, three articles were included for a total of 63 patients. Overall, 38 early postoperative complications (60.3%) were observed. Of these, anastomotic leakage occurred in 13 patients (20.6%). The indication for surgery was ulcerative colitis in 52 patients (82.5%), Crohn's disease in 8 patients (12.7%) and indeterminate colitis in 3 patients (4.8%). Intraoperative complications, readmission and postoperative mortality were not observed. CONCLUSIONS Complication rate after bowel resection for IBD associated cancer is not different from complication rate after colorectal surgery for other diseases. Given the high probability of developing a cancer and the time correlated occurrence of malignancy in IBD patients, it should be debated if a surgical resection should be performed as soon as dysplasia is detected in IBD patients or earlier in their life.

Abstract
The detection of dysplasia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continues to be important given the increased risk of colorectal cancer in this population. Therefore, in 2017, we performed a review and update of the recommendations for the management and follow-up of patients with IBD based on the clinical practice guidelines of various scientific societies. The present manuscript focuses on new aspects of the detection, follow-up, and management of dysplasia according to the latest studies and recommendations. While chromoendoscopy with targeted biopsy continues to be the technique of choice for the screening and detection of dysplasia in IBD, the associated difficulties mean that it is now being compared with other techniques (virtual chromoendoscopy), which yield similar results with less technical difficulties. Furthermore, the emergence of new endoscopy techniques that are still being researched but seem promising (e.g., confocal laser endomicroscopy and full-spectrum endoscopy), together with the development of devices that improve endoscopic visualization (e.g., Endocuff Vision), lead us to believe that these approaches can revolutionize the screening and follow-up of dysplasia in patients with IBD. Nevertheless, further studies are warranted to define the optimal follow-up strategy in this patient population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The burden of psychiatric disorders is on a rise in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients which has shown to effect medication compliance and overall clinical outcomes. We studied the prevalence of depression and anxiety in IBD patients when compared to individuals with other chronic medical conditions. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study using the United States national inpatient sample of 2016 to 2018. We identified patient encounters with a diagnosis of IBD. Our primary outcome was prevalence of depression and anxiety in IBD patients when compared to general adult population with other chronic medical conditions. We further studied these outcomes in subgroups of patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. RESULTS A total of 963,619 patient encounters were identified with the diagnosis of IBD between 2016 and 2018, of them 162,850 (16.9%) had depression and 201,685 (20.9%) had anxiety. The prevalence of depression and anxiety was significantly higher in IBD patients in comparison to general population, (16.9% vs 12.3%) and (20.9% vs 15%) respectively (p < 0.001). Association of depression and anxiety was also higher in IBD patients when compared to patients with other chronic conditions like diabetes, metastatic cancer, and coronary artery disease. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis were independently associated with increased odds of depression and anxiety and these results were statistically significant (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS IBD is associated with increased prevalence of depression and anxiety when compared to general population. Association of these psychiatric illnesses with IBD is significantly higher when compared to other chronic medical conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Several different types of non-conventional dysplasia have been recently described in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Hypermucinous, goblet cell-deficient and crypt cell dysplasias have received most attention, but there is limited information regarding their clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes. METHODS A total of 126 cases of hypermucinous [n = 55], goblet cell-deficient [n = 26] and crypt cell [n = 45] dysplasias from 97 IBD patients were collected from seven different institutions and analysed. RESULTS The cohort included 62 [64%] men and 35 [36%] women with a mean age of 49 years [range: 20-78]. The majority of affected patients had longstanding IBD [mean duration: 18 years]. Nineteen [20%] patients had a concurrent history of primary sclerosing cholangitis. As a group, non-conventional dysplasia was predominantly found in patients with ulcerative colitis [UC] [n = 68; 70%] and occurred in the left colon [n = 80; 63%]; however, hypermucinous dysplasia [57%] was the least frequently associated with UC compared with goblet cell-deficient [74%] and crypt cell [89%] dysplasias [p = 0.016]. Fifty [52%] patients had a history of conventional dysplasia, detected in the same colonic segment as non-conventional dysplasia at a rate of 33%. Goblet cell-deficient dysplasia [74%] was more frequently associated with conventional dysplasia than hypermucinous [43%] and crypt cell [48%] dysplasias [p = 0.044]. While hypermucinous dysplasia often had a polypoid appearance [58%], crypt cell [96%] and goblet cell-deficient [65%] dysplasias were more likely to present as flat/invisible lesions [p < 0.001]. Most lesions were low-grade [87%] at diagnosis, but goblet cell-deficient dysplasia [31%] more often showed high-grade dysplasia [HGD] compared with hypermucinous [15%] and crypt cell [0%] dysplasias [p = 0.003]. Hypermucinous dysplasia usually demonstrated a tubulovillous/villous architecture [76%], whereas goblet cell-deficient dysplasia was predominantly tubular [92%]. A flat architecture was exclusively associated with crypt cell dysplasia [100%] [p < 0.001]. Immunohistochemical stain results for p53 were available for 33 lesions; 14 [42%] showed strong [3+] and patchy [10-50%] to diffuse [>50%] nuclear overexpression or null staining pattern, including four [33%] of 12 hypermucinous, two [29%] of seven goblet cell-deficient and eight [57%] of 14 crypt cell dysplastic lesions [p = 0.726]. Follow-up biopsies or resections were available for 92 low-grade lesions from 71 patients; 55 [60%] lesions, including 19 [49%] of 39 hypermucinous, 10 [59%] of 17 goblet cell-deficient and 26 [72%] of 36 crypt cell dysplastic lesions [p = 0.116], were associated with subsequent detection of HGD [n = 34; 37%] or adenocarcinoma [n = 21; 23%] at the site of previous biopsy or in the same colonic segment within a mean follow-up time of 12 months [range: <1-73]. CONCLUSIONS Hypermucinous, goblet cell-deficient and crypt cell dysplasias have distinct clinicopathological features but appear to have a similar high risk of association with advanced neoplasia [HGD or adenocarcinoma]. More than half of the lesions [66%] presented as flat/invisible dysplasia, suggesting that IBD patients may benefit from random biopsy sampling in addition to targeted biopsies. Although not uncommonly associated with conventional dysplasia, non-conventional dysplasia may be the only dysplastic subtype identified in IBD patients. Therefore, it is important to recognize these non-conventional subtypes and recommend complete removal and/or careful examination and follow-up.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation associated with intestinal architecture and barrier disruption puts patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Widely used to reduce flares of intestinal inflammation, 5-aminosalicylic acid derivatives (5-ASAs) such as mesalazine appear to also exert more direct mucosal healing and chemopreventive activities against CRC. The mechanisms underlying these activities are poorly understood and may involve the up-regulation of the cadherin-related gene MUCDHL (CDHR5). This atypical cadherin is emerging as a new actor of intestinal homeostasis and opposes colon tumorigenesis. Here, we showed that mesalazine increase mRNA levels of MUCDHL and of other genes involved in the intestinal barrier function in most intestinal cell lines. In addition, using gain / loss of function experiments (agonists, plasmid or siRNAs transfections), luciferase reporter genes and chromatin immunoprecipitation, we thoroughly investigated the molecular mechanisms triggered by mesalazine that lead to the up-regulation of MUCDHL expression. We found that basal transcription of MUCDHL in different CRC cell lines is regulated positively by CDX2 and negatively by β-catenin through a negative feed-back loop. However, mesalazine-stimulation of MUCDHL transcription is controlled by cell-specific mechanisms, involving either enhanced activation of CDX2 and PPAR-γ or repression of the β-catenin inhibitory effect. This work highlights the importance of the cellular and molecular context in the activity of mesalazine and suggests that its efficacy against CRC depends on the genetic alterations of transformed cells.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of Colorectal cancer (CRC), and its most important risk factors are the duration and extent of the disease. Pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease has a tendency for a more extensive, more severe, and longer predicted disease duration than adult-onset inflammatory bowel disease. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of patients with CRC related to pediatric-onset IBD and consider the appropriateness of current surveillance endoscopy recommendations for the detection of premalignant lesions and early-stage CRC. Methods We searched a research platform based on the SUPREME electronic medical record data-mining system to identify cases of colorectal malignancy in patients with pediatric IBD that presented between 2000 and 2020. Results During the follow-up, 4 (1.29 per 1000 person years) out of 443 patients with PIBD was diagnosed with CRC. The median age at diagnosis of CRC was 18.5 (range: 15–24) years, and the median period from diagnosis of IBD to CRC was 9.42 (range: 0.44–11.96) years. The sigmoid colon was the most frequent location of CRC (in 3 of the 4 cases). Adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type (in 2 of the 4 cases). Conclusions Patients with pediatric-onset IBD exhibited a much shorter disease duration than that of adult-onset IBD at the time of diagnosis of CRC, suggesting that surveillance endoscopy for the detection of precancerous lesions and early-stage cancer should be initiated earlier in pediatric patients than in adult patients.

Inflamm Bowel Dis 2021; 28:1169-1176.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a 2- to 3-fold greater risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) than patients without IBD, with increased risk during hospitalization that persists postdischarge. We determined the cost-effectiveness of postdischarge VTE prophylaxis among hospitalized patients with IBD. METHODS A decision tree compared inpatient prophylaxis alone vs 4 weeks of postdischarge VTE prophylaxis with 10 mg/day of rivaroxaban. Our primary outcome was quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) over 1 year, and strategies were compared using a willingness to pay of $100,000/QALY from a societal perspective. Costs (in 2020 $USD), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) and number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent 1 VTE and VTE death were calculated. Deterministic 1-way and probabilistic analyses assessed model uncertainty. RESULTS Prophylaxis with rivaroxaban resulted in 1.68-higher QALYs per 1000 persons compared with no postdischarge prophylaxis at an incremental cost of $185,778 per QALY. The NNT to prevent a single VTE was 78, whereas the NNT to prevent a single VTE-related death was 3190. One-way sensitivity analyses showed that higher VTE risk >4.5% and decreased cost of rivaroxaban ≤$280 can reduce the ICER to <$100,000/QALY. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses favored prophylaxis in 28.9% of iterations. CONCLUSIONS Four weeks of postdischarge VTE prophylaxis results in higher QALYs compared with inpatient prophylaxis alone and prevents 1 postdischarge VTE among 78 patients with IBD. Although postdischarge VTE prophylaxis for all patients with IBD is not cost-effective, it should be considered in a case-by-case scenario, considering VTE risk profile, costs, and patient preference.

Efficacy of Novel Ultrathin Single-Balloon Enteroscopy for Crohn's Disease: A Propensity Score-Matched Study. Gut Liver 2021; 14:619-625. [PMID: 31818049 PMCID: PMC7492490 DOI: 10.5009/gnl19228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2019] [Revised: 09/10/2019] [Accepted: 10/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims The evaluation of small bowel lesions of Crohn's disease (CD) using balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) is crucial because mucosal healing is associated with a good prognosis. However, BAE procedures are invasive, requiring sedation or analgesia to reduce the patient's pain. This study evaluated the clinical usefulness of a novel ultrathin single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) procedure for CD. Methods This single-center retrospective study included 102 CD patients who underwent trans-anal SBE between January 2012 and May 2018. Of these patients, 82 underwent enteroscopy using conventional SBE, while 20 underwent ultrathin SBE. Patients were analyzed using propensity score matching, with 20 patients per group. The median duration of the examination, terminal ileum intubation rate, median cecum intubation time, median insertion depth, adverse events, and sedated dose in each group were compared. Results Before propensity score matching, the conventional SBE group had a larger number of surgical history patients than the ultrathin SBE group (p=0.05). After matching, the two groups did not significantly differ clinically. There were no significant differences in the mean duration of the examination, cecum intubation time, or terminal ileal intubation rate between ultrathin SBE and conventional SBE. The mean insertion depth of ultrathin SBE tended to be deeper than that of conventional SBE (p=0.09). The use of ultrathin SBE also reduced the sedative dose during needed for enteroscopy compared with conventional SBE (p=0.005). Conclusions Novel ultrathin SBE may be less painful for CD patients than conventional SBE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Given adverse health effects of climate change and contributions of the US health care sector to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, environmentally sustainable delivery of care is needed. We applied life cycle assessment to quantify GHGs associated with processing a gastrointestinal biopsy in order to identify emissions hotspots and guide mitigation strategies. METHODS The biopsy process at a large academic pathology laboratory was grouped into steps. Each supply and reagent was catalogued and postuse treatment noted. Energy consumption was estimated for capital equipment. Two common scenarios were considered: 1 case with 1 specimen jar (scenario 1) and 1 case with 3 specimen jars (scenario 2). RESULTS Scenario 1 generated 0.29 kg of carbon dioxide equivalents (kg CO2e), whereas scenario 2 resulted in 0.79 kg CO2e-equivalent to 0.7 and 2.0 miles driven, respectively. The largest proportion of GHGs (36%) in either scenario came from the tissue processor step. The second largest contributor (19%) was case accessioning, mostly attributable to production of single-use disposable jars. CONCLUSIONS Applied to more than 20 million biopsies performed in the US annually, emissions from biopsy processing is equivalent to yearly GHG emissions from 1,200 passenger cars. Mitigation strategies may include modification of surveillance guidelines to include the number of specimen jars.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to summarize the current evidence on probiotics' uses as an adjuvant for ulcerative colitis (UC) and provide an understanding of the effect of probiotics supplement on the immune system and inflammatory responses among UC patients and subsequent therapeutic benefits. CONTENT A narrative review of all the relevant published papers known to the author was conducted. SUMMARY UC is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that results in inflammation and ulceration of the colon and rectum. The primary symptoms of active disease are diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding. About 70% of the human immune system (mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue) originates in the intestine. Probiotics are live microorganisms that help in stabilizing the gut microbiota (nonimmunologic gut defense), restores normal flora, and enhance the humoral immune system. Probiotics especially Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces boulardii, and lactic acid-producing bacteria have been used as an adjunct therapy for treating UC to ameliorate disease-related symptoms and reduce relapse rate. Probiotics, in general, modulate the immune system through their ability to enhance the mucosal barrier function, or through their interaction with the local immune system to enhance regulatory T cell responses, decrease the pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1 beta and increase anti-inflammatory factor interleukin 10. OUTLOOK More studies are needed to explore the properties of the various probiotic bacterial strains, their different uses, as well as the dosage of probiotics and duration for treating different disorders. Further clinical investigations on mechanisms of action and how probiotics modulate the immune system may lead to further advances in managing IBD.

Abstract
Background Animal studies indicate a potential protective role of antidepressant medication (ADM) in models of colitis but the effect of their use in humans with ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unclear. Objective To study the relationship between ADM use and corticosteroid dependency in UC. Design Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink we identified patients diagnosed with UC between 2005 and 2016. We grouped patients according to serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) exposure in the 3 years following diagnosis: ‘continuous users’, ‘intermittent users’ and ‘non-users’. We used logistic regression to estimate the adjusted risk of corticosteroid dependency between ADM exposure groups. Results We identified 6373 patients with UC. Five thousand two hundred and thirty (82%) use no ADMs, 627 (10%) were intermittent SSRI users and 282 (4%) were continuous SSRI users, 246 (4%) were intermittent TCA users and 63 (1%) were continuous TCA users. Corticosteroid dependency was more frequent in continuous SSRI and TCA users compared with non-users (19% vs 24% vs 14%, respectively, χ2 p=0.002). Intermittent SSRI and TCA users had similar risks of developing corticosteroid dependency to non-users (SSRI: OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.50, TCA: OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.66). Continuous users of both SSRIs and TCAs had significantly higher risks of corticosteroid dependency compared with non-users (SSRI: OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.27, TCA: OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.07 to 3.81). Conclusions Continuous ADM exposure has no protective effect in routine clinical practice in UC and identifies a population of patients requiring more intensive medical therapy. ADM use is a flag for potentially worse clinical outcomes in UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a common symptom in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is associated with poor health outcomes, yet additional knowledge about the psychosocial correlates of pain is needed to optimize clinical care. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the psychosocial factors associated with pain and pain impact in youth diagnosed with IBD within a developmentally informed framework. METHODS Manual and electronic searches yielded 2641 references. Two authors conducted screening (98% agreement), and data extraction was performed in duplicate. Average study quality was rated using the National Institutes of Health Quality Assessment Tool. RESULTS Ten studies (N = 763 patients; N = 563 Crohn disease, N = 200 ulcerative/ indeterminate colitis) met the inclusion criteria. Findings showed consistent evidence that higher levels of child depression symptoms and child pain catastrophizing were associated with significantly greater pain and pain impact (magnitude of association ranged from small to large across studies). Greater pain and pain impact were also associated with higher levels of child anxiety symptoms, child pain threat, child pain worry, and parent pain catastrophizing. Within the included studies, female sex and disease severity were both significantly associated with pain and pain impact. Study quality was moderate on average. CONCLUSIONS There is evidence that child psychosocial factors are associated with pain and pain impact in pediatric IBD; more studies are needed to examine parent- and family-level psychosocial factors. Youth with IBD should be routinely screened for pain severity, pain impact, and psychosocial risk factors such as anxiety/depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japanese Society of Gastroenterology (JSGE) published ''Daicho Polyp Shinryo Guideline 2014'' in Japanese and a part of this guideline was published in English as "Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for management of colorectal polyps" in the Journal of Gastroenterology in 2015. A revised version of the Japanese-language guideline was published in 2020, and here we introduce a part of the contents of revised version. METHODS The guideline committee discussed and drew up a series of clinical questions (CQs). Recommendation statements for the CQs were limited to items with multiple therapeutic options. Items with established conclusions that had 100% agreement with previous guidelines (background questions) and items with no (or old) evidence that are topics for future research (future research questions: FRQs) were given descriptions only. To address the CQs and FRQs, PubMed, ICHUSHI, and other sources were searched for relevant articles published in English from 1983 to October 2018 and articles published in Japanese from 1983 to November 2018. The Japan Medical Library Association was also commissioned to search for relevant materials. Manual searches were performed for questions with insufficient online references. RESULTS The professional committee created 18 CQs and statements concerning the current concept and diagnosis/treatment of various colorectal polyps, including their epidemiology, screening, pathophysiology, definition and classification, diagnosis, management, practical treatment, complications, and surveillance after treatment, and other colorectal lesions (submucosal tumors, nonneoplastic polyps, polyposis, hereditary tumors, ulcerative colitis-associated tumors/carcinomas). CONCLUSIONS After evaluation by the moderators, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for management of colorectal polyps were proposed for 2020. This report addresses the therapeutic related CQs introduced when formulating these guidelines.

Abstract
Background and study aims Recent advances in endoscopic equipment and diagnostic techniques have improved the detection of dysplasia in the inflamed mucosa of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, it remains difficult to endoscopically identify flat-type dysplasia which has been formerly recognized as invisible dysplasia. Patients and methods In this retrospective, single-center study, we endoscopically identified 10 cases of flat-type-predominant dysplasia by targeted biopsy among 38 intramucosal dysplasia lesions from patients with UC who underwent surgical or endoscopic resection from 2007 to 2017. Their endoscopic and histological features were examined, including color changes, intramucosal vascular density/size, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Results All flat-type-predominant dysplasias were endoscopically recognized as demarcated red-colored areas and histologically diagnosed as low- (LGDs) or high-grade dysplasias (HGDs). Immunohistochemical examination using resected specimens revealed that flat-type dysplasia was characterized by significantly increased CD34-positive vascular density (LGDs, 1.7-fold, P < 0.01; HGDs, 2.2-fold, P < 0.01) and size (LGDs, 1.03-fold, P < 0.01; HGDs, 1.11-fold, P < 0.01) in the mucosa, compared to adjacent non-neoplastic areas. Increased numbers of vessels were observed at the base of the mucosa in LGDs, whereas HGDs contained increased/enlarged vessels throughout the mucosa. Moreover, VEGF expression was elevated in all dysplastic epithelia. Conclusions Demarcated red-colored areas, histologically characterized by an increased vascular density/size in the mucosa, are an endoscopic sign of formerly invisible flat-type dysplasia in patients with UC and should be considered for targeted biopsy. Prospective studies focusing on the mucosal color change for their early detection would be desirable in the future.

A fully human anti-BMP6 antibody reduces the need for erythropoietin in rodent models of the anemia of chronic disease. Blood 2021; 136:1080-1090. [PMID: 32438400 DOI: 10.1182/blood.2019004653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2019] [Accepted: 04/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) and iron substitution are a standard of care for treatment of anemias associated with chronic inflammation, including anemia of chronic kidney disease. A black box warning for EPO therapy and concerns about negative side effects related to high-dose iron supplementation as well as the significant proportion of patients becoming EPO resistant over time explains the medical need to define novel strategies to ameliorate anemia of chronic disease (ACD). As hepcidin is central to the iron-restrictive phenotype in ACD, therapeutic approaches targeting hepcidin were recently developed. We herein report the therapeutic effects of a fully human anti-BMP6 antibody (KY1070) either as monotherapy or in combination with Darbepoetin alfa on iron metabolism and anemia resolution in 2 different, well-established, and clinically relevant rodent models of ACD. In addition to counteracting hepcidin-driven iron limitation for erythropoiesis, we found that the combination of KY1070 and recombinant human EPO improved the erythroid response compared with either monotherapy in a qualitative and quantitative manner. Consequently, the combination of KY1070 and Darbepoetin alfa resulted in an EPO-sparing effect. Moreover, we found that suppression of hepcidin via KY1070 modulates ferroportin expression on erythroid precursor cells, thereby lowering potentially toxic-free intracellular iron levels and by accelerating erythroid output as reflected by increased maturation of erythrocyte progenitors. In summary, we conclude that treatment of ACD, as a highly complex disease, becomes more effective by a multifactorial therapeutic approach upon mobilization of endogenous iron deposits and stimulation of erythropoiesis.

Abstract
AbstractThis study was done to investigate the synergistic impacts hydro extract of jujube fruit in combination with Mesalazine (orally) and Asacol (intra-colonic) administration in ameliorating animal model of ulcerative colitis (UC). After the induction of UC and with the development of signs, the treatment groups daily received the hydro extract of jujube fruit (200 mg/kg, orally, enema), Mesalazine (30 mg/kg, orally) and Asacol (10 mg/kg, enema). After 10 days, rats were euthanized and were studied. Findings indicated a significant increase in Myeloperoxidase (161.66 ± 10.40), Nitric oxide (216.01 ± 17.55), IL-6 (138.54 ± 7.02), and TNF-α (123.87 ± 9.80) colon tissue levels and pathological damage of positive control group compared with the negative control group. Hydro extract of jujube fruit in combination with Mesalazine (orally) and Asacol (intra-colonic) group represented a higher capability in significantly decreasing Myeloperoxidase (73.33 ± 9.07), Nitric oxide (81.66 ± 10.50), IL-6 (51.69 ± 5.19), TNF-α (30.59 ± 5.50) levels and pathological damage in compared with the other treatment groups. Considering accessibility and affordability of jujube fruit and the side effects of routine drugs, taking a combination of jujube fruit with low doses of routine pharmaceutical drugs can improve and cure ulcerative colitis disease.

Abstract
AbstractThe objective of this study was to evaluate the consensus of expert societies and published guidelines on the management of ulcerative colitis, and to compare with the experience of the authors, in order to standardize procedures that would help the reasoning and decision-making process of the physician. A search was performed in scientific literature, specifically in electronic databases: Medline/Pubmed, SciELO, EMBASE and Cochrane, and the following descriptors were used: ulcerative colitis, acute colitis, clinical treatment, surgery and randomized trial. It can be concluded that the goals of therapy in ulcerative colitis are clinical and endoscopic remission, deep, sustained remission without corticosteroids, prevention of hospitalizations and surgeries, and improved quality of life. The surgical indications are reserved for selected cases, ranging from medical intractability, complications (severe refractory acute colitis, toxic megacolon, perforation and hemorrhage) and malignancy. Information in this review article must be submitted to evaluation and criticism of the specialist responsible for the conduct to be followed, in the face of his/her reality and the clinical status of each patient.The degree of recommendation and strength of evidence were based using the GRADE system (The Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) described below:1. A: Experimental or observational studies of higher consistency.2. B: Experimental or observational studies of lower consistency.3. C: Case reports (non-controlled studies).4. D: Opinion without critical evaluation, based on consensus, physiological studies or animal models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate efficacy and safety of endoscopic treatment for the non-polypoid dysplasia in patients with long-standing IBD. METHODS Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and clinicaltrials.gov registry were comprehensively searched. Pooled estimates of curative, R0, en-bloc resection rates, CRC, metachronous dysplasia, and local recurrence rates were calculated. Subgroup analysis according to areas, lesion size, endoscopic resection techniques, and grades of dysplasia were conducted. Data synthesis was completed in R using the package "meta". RESULTS Of the 973 studies initially identified, 7 met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. These were all single-arm cohorts and included a total of 202 patients with IBD and non-polypoid dysplasia. The combined R0 and en-bloc resection rate were 0.70 (95% CI 0.55-0.81) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.65-0.95), respectively, with a recurrence rate of 0.08 (95% CI 0.05-0.13). CRC and metachronous dysplasia incidences were pooled as 32.53 (95% CI 12.21-86.67) and 90.24 (95% CI 44.91-181.33) per 1000 patient years. CONCLUSIONS Non-polypoid dysplasia associated with IBD can be resected endoscopically, especially by ESD. However, these patients have higher CRC and metachronous dysplasia incidence rates than patients with polypoid dysplasia, indicating a closer endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have an increased risk of thrombosis. The interaction between inflammation and coagulation has extensively been studied. It is well-- known that some drugs can influence the haemostatic system, but several concerns on the association between therapies and increased risk of thrombosis remain open. While biologics seem to have a protective role against thrombosis via their anti-inflammatory effect, some concerns about an increased risk of thrombosis with JAK inhibitors have been raised. We conducted a literature review to assess the association between biologics/small molecules and venous/arterial thrombotic complications. An increased risk of venous and arterial thrombosis was found in patients treated with corticosteroids, whereas anti-TNFα were considered protective agents. No thromboembolic adverse event was reported with vedolizumab and ustekinumab. In addition, thromboembolic events rarely occurred in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) after therapy with tofacitinib. The overall risk of both venous and arterial thrombosis was not increased based on the available evidence. Finally, in the era of JAK inhibitors, the treatment should be individualized by evaluating the pre-existing potential thrombotic risk balanced with the intrinsic risk of the medication used.

Non-conventional dysplasia in inflammatory bowel disease is more frequently associated with advanced neoplasia and aneuploidy than conventional dysplasia. Histopathology 2020; 78:814-830. [PMID: 33155325 DOI: 10.1111/his.14298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 10/31/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Several different non-conventional morphological patterns of epithelial dysplasia have been recently described in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but there is limited information regarding their clinicopathological and molecular features, as well as potential risk for high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or colorectal cancer (CRC) compared with conventional dysplasia developing in IBD. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 317 dysplastic lesions from 168 IBD patients were analysed. All lesions were re-reviewed and subtyped as either conventional [including tubular adenoma-like (n = 183) and tubulovillous/villous adenoma-like (n = 56)] or non-conventional dysplasia [including dysplasia with increased Paneth cell differentiation (DPD, n = 40), crypt cell dysplasia (CCD, n = 14), goblet cell deficient (GCD, n = 10), hypermucinous (n = 7), sessile serrated lesion (SSL)-like (n = 4) and traditional serrated adenoma (TSA)-like (n = 3)]. DNA flow cytometry was performed on 70 low-grade conventional (n = 24) and non-conventional (n = 46) dysplastic biopsies to determine their malignant potential and molecular pathways to HGD or CRC. Eleven sporadic tubular adenomas with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) were utilised as controls. Seventy-eight non-conventional dysplastic lesions were identified in 56 (33%) of the 168 patients, whereas 239 conventional dysplastic lesions were identified in 149 (89%) patients. Although both non-conventional and conventional dysplasias were most often graded as LGD at diagnosis (83% and 84%, respectively), non-conventional dysplasia (38%) was more likely to develop HGD or CRC in the same colonic segment than conventional dysplasia (19%) on follow-up (P < 0.001). Almost half (46%) of non-conventional dysplastic samples showed aneuploidy, whereas only 8% of conventional dysplasia (P = 0.002) and 9% of sporadic tubular adenomas (P = 0.037) did. Also, non-conventional dysplasia more frequently presented as a flat/invisible lesion (41%) compared with conventional dysplasia (18%) (P < 0.001). Among the non-conventional subtypes (n = 78), DPD was the most common (n = 40; 51%), followed by CCD (n = 14; 18%), GCD (n = 10; 13%), hypermucinous (n = 7; 9%), SSL-like (n = 4; 5%) and TSA-like (n = 3; 4%) variants. Hypermucinous dysplasia (mean = 2.1 cm) was significantly larger than DPD, SSL-like, TSA-like and GCD variants (mean = 1.0, 1.2, 1.2 and 1.9 cm, respectively) (P = 0.037). HGD or CRC was more likely to be associated with CCD (n = 13; 93%), hypermucinous (n = 4; 57%), GCD (n = 4; 40%) and SSL-like (n = 3; 75%) variants than DPD (n = 6; 15%) and TSA-like dysplasia (n = 0; 0%) on follow-up (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the rate of aneuploidy was significantly higher in CCD (100%), hypermucinous (80%) and GCD (25%) variants than in DPD (12%), SSL-like dysplasia (0%) and TSA-like dysplasia (0%) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Non-conventional morphological patterns of dysplasia are not uncommon in IBD, detected in 33% of the patients. The higher frequencies of advanced neoplasia (HGD or CRC) and aneuploidy in non-conventional dysplasia, in particular CCD, hypermucinous and GCD variants, suggest that they may have a higher malignant potential than conventional dysplasia or sporadic tubular adenomas, and thus need complete removal and/or careful follow-up. Greater than 40% of non-conventional dysplasia presented as a flat/invisible lesion, suggesting that IBD patients may benefit from random biopsy sampling in addition to targeted biopsies. The majority of non-conventional subtypes appear to develop via the chromosomal instability pathway, whereas an alternative serrated pathway may be responsible for the development of at least a subset of SSL-like and TSA-like dysplasias.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an intricate enteric disease with a rising incidence that is closely related to mucosa-barrier destruction, gut dysbacteriosis, and immune disorders. Emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone, EMO) is a natural anthraquinone derivative that occurs in many Polygonaceae plants. Its multiple pharmacological effects, including antioxidant, immune-suppressive, and anti-bacteria activities, make it a promising treatment option for UC. However, its poor solubility, extensive absorption, and metabolism in the upper gastrointestinal tract may compromise its anti-colitis effects. PURPOSE EMO was loaded in a colon-targeted delivery system using multifunctional biomedical materials and the enhanced anti-colitis effect involving mucosa reconstruction was investigated in this study. METHODS EMO-loaded Poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide)/EudragitⓇ S100/montmorillonite nanoparticles (EMO/PSM NPs) were prepared by a versatile single-step assembly approach. The colon-specific release behavior was characterized in vitro and in vivo, and the anti-colitis effect was evaluated in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis in mice by weight loss, disease activity index (DAI) score, colon length, histological changes, and colitis biomarkers. The integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier was evaluated through transwell co-culture model in vitro and serum zonulin-related tight junctions and mucin2 (MUC2) in vivo. RESULTS EMO/PSM NPs with a desirable hydrodynamic diameter (~ 235 nm) and negative zeta potential (~ -31 mV) could prevent the premature drug release (< 4% in the first 6 h in vitro) in the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and boost retention in the lower GIT and inflamed colon mucosa in vivo. Compared to free EMO-treatment of different doses in UC mice, the NPs could enhance the remedial efficacy of EMO in DAI decline, histological remission, and regulation of colitis indicators, such as myeloperoxidase (MPO), nitric oxide (NO), and glutathione (GSH). The inflammatory factors including induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), TNF-α, and IL-1β were suppressed by EMO/PSM NPs at both mRNA and protein levels. The obtained NPs could also promote the regeneration of the mucosal barrier via reduced fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran leakage in the transwell co-culture model and decreased serum zonulin levels, which was demonstrated to be associated with the upregulated tight junctions (TJs)-related proteins (claudin-2, occludin, and zo-1) and MUC2 at mRNA level. Moreover, the NPs could contribute to attenuating the liver injury caused by free EMO under excessive immune inflammation. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that EMO/PSM NPs could specifically release EMO in the diseased colon, and effectively enhance the anti-colitis effects of EMO related to intestinal barrier improvement. It can be considered as a novel potential alternative for oral colon-targeted UC therapy by increasing therapeutic efficacy and reducing side-effects.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, which are well recognised as chronic systemic and immune-mediated conditions that frequently involve extraintestinal manifestations. Although comorbidities have long been the subject of research in other chronic inflammatory diseases, this concept is also emerging in IBD. Many pathologies have been linked to IBD, including cardiovascular disease, which is the main cause of death in developed countries. IBD patients are at increased risk of conditions such as early atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction or venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism. The aim of this review is to make an approximation of the physiopathology of the different manifestations of cardiovascular disease in patients with IBD and how to prevent them.

Prevalence of mental disorder and impact on quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease. GASTROENTEROLOGIA Y HEPATOLOGIA 2020; 44:206-213. [PMID: 33041086 DOI: 10.1016/j.gastrohep.2020.06.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Different studies have described psychiatric comorbidities in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, but most of them focus mainly on depression and anxiety. Even though major mental disorders are considered one of the main factors that decrease quality of life (QoL), its role in IBD patients remains unclear. We sought to identify the prevalence of different mental disorders as well as its relationship with QoL. PATIENTS AND METHODS Subjects were recruited from the IBD Clinic. IBD Questionnaire 32 and structured clinical interview (SCID) for DMS-IV Text Revision were applied. Demographic and clinical data were collected via self-report questionnaires and medical records. The correlation between mental disorders and QoL (IBDQ-32 score) was evaluated using the Spearman correlation test. RESULTS In all, 104 patients were recruited, 12 with Crohn's disease, and 92 with ulcerative colitis. The prevalence of any major mental disorder was 56.7%: anxiety (44.2%), mood (27.9%), substance use (12.2%), and other psychiatric diagnoses (17.3%), and 29.8% of the patients presented three or more comorbid diagnoses. Mental Disorder (p=0.005), mood disorder (p=0.004), anxiety disorder (p=0.009), were found to be significantly associated with lower QoL. Substance use disorder was associated with lower Digestive QoL (p=0.01). Major depressive disorder (p=0.004), social phobia (p=0.03), PTSD (p=0.02), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (p<0.001), were found to be significantly associated with lower QoL. CONCLUSIONS IBD patients had important psychiatric comorbidity that significantly affects their QoL. These results warrant a systematic evaluation of psychiatric conditions in IBD patients.

Personalised Adherence Support for Maintenance Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Tailored Digital Intervention to Change Adherence-related Beliefs and Barriers. J Crohns Colitis 2020; 14:1394-1404. [PMID: 32379303 DOI: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjz034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Interventions to improve adherence to medication may be more effective if tailored to the individual, addressing adherence-related beliefs about treatment and overcoming practical barriers to daily use. We evaluated whether an algorithm, tailoring support to address perceptual and practical barriers to adherence, reduced barriers and was acceptable to patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. METHODS Participants with IBD, prescribed azathioprine and/or mesalazine, were recruited via patient groups, social media, and hospital clinics and allocated to Intervention or Control Groups. The online intervention comprised messages tailored to address beliefs about IBD and maintenance treatment and to provide advice on overcoming practical difficulties with taking regular medication. The content was personalised to address specific perceptual and practical barriers identified by a pre-screening tool. Validated questionnaires assessed barriers to adherence and related secondary outcomes at baseline and at 1 and 3 months of follow-up. RESULTS A total of 329 participants were allocated to the Intervention [n = 153] and Control [n = 176] Groups; just under half [46.2%] completed follow-up. At 1 and 3 months, the Intervention Group had significantly fewer concerns about IBD medication [p ≤0.01]; and at three months, fewer doubts about treatment necessity, fewer reported practical barriers, and higher reported adherence [p <0.05]. Relative to controls at follow-up, the Intervention Group were more satisfied with information about IBD medicines, and viewed pharmaceuticals in general more positively. Questionnaires, interviews, and intervention usage indicated that the intervention was acceptable. CONCLUSIONS Personalised adherence support using a digital algorithm can help patients overcome perceptual barriers [doubts about treatment necessity and medication concerns] and practical barriers to adherence.
