Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Celiac disease is a common chronic inflammatory condition of the small bowel triggered by gluten in wheat, rye and barley in the diet. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity presents with symptoms similar to celiac disease with the ingestion of gluten or other components of wheat. In this article, we review challenges presented by a gluten free diet for the treatment of both disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Wheat is ubiquitous in the diet and medications/products. A registered dietitian is mandatory for patient education on the gluten free diet. Naturally gluten free foods provide a healthy diet for those with celiac disease. Whole grains labelled gluten free, including oats, are encouraged in the diet as refined grains may be deficient in fiber, protein, and micronutrients, particularly folate. Gluten contamination is the most common cause of persistent symptoms in celiac disease though shared equipment of food preparation may not be as large a problem as suspected. Most with celiac disease on a gluten free diet will fully recover and gain weight that poses a problem for those overweight to start. The gluten free diet may have a negative impact on quality of life for both celiac patients and their families. Those with hypervigilance of the gluten free diet and avoidance of dining out have the lowest quality of life. The gluten free diet is currently the only effective treatment for celiac disease. A registered dietitian is needed to educate patients on the complexity of the gluten free diet with a goal of healthy eating, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding disordered eating or diet hypervigilance; key to a good quality of life.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1405344. [PMID: 39034995 PMCID: PMC11257844 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1405344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Exposure to antigens is crucial for child immune system development, aiding disease prevention and promoting infant health. Some common food antigen proteins are found in human breast milk. However, it is unclear whether gluten antigens linked to celiac disease (CD) are transmitted through breast milk, potentially impacting the development of the infant's immune system. Objective This study aimed to analyze the passage of gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) into human breast milk. We evaluated the dynamics of GIP secretion after lactating mothers adopted a controlled gluten-rich diet. Methods We prospectively enrolled 96 non-CD and 23 CD lactating mothers, assessing total proteins and casein in breast milk, and GIP levels in breast milk and urine. Subsequently, a longitudinal study was conducted in a subgroup of 12 non-CD lactating mothers who adopted a controlled gluten-rich diet. GIP levels in breast milk and urine samples were assayed by multiple sample collections over 96 hours. Results Analysis of a single sample revealed that 24% of non-CD lactating mothers on a regular unrestricted diet tested positive for GIP in breast milk, and 90% tested positive in urine, with significantly lower concentrations in breast milk. Nevertheless, on a controlled gluten-rich diet and the collection of multiple samples, GIP were detected in 75% and 100% of non-CD participants in breast milk and urine, respectively. The transfer dynamics in breast milk samples were long-enduring and GIP secretion persisted from 0 to 72 h. In contrast, GIP secretion in urine samples was limited to the first 24 h, with inter-individual variations. In the cohort of CD mothers, 82.6% and 87% tested negative for GIP in breast milk and urine, respectively. Conclusions This study definitively established the presence of GIP in breast milk, with substantial inter-individual variations in secretion dynamics. Our findings provide insights into distinct GIP kinetics observed in sequentially collected breast milk and urine samples, suggesting differential gluten metabolism patterns depending on the organ or system involved. Future research is essential to understand whether GIP functions as sensitizing or tolerogenic agents in the immune system of breastfed infants.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CeD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of global relevance, with the potential for acute and long-term complications. However, the economic burden of CeD is rarely considered and largely thought of as limited to the cost of gluten-free food. Fortunately, recent research has shed light on the various societal costs of CeD across the health care continuum. This article summarizes the current evidence on the economic impacts of CeD, which suggest that the societal economic burden of CeD stretches beyond the cost of gluten-free food. This review provides ample evidence of larger but hidden costs related to excess health care use for complications and comorbidities, as well as reduced productivity. Although significant advances are expected in the management of CeD, their effect on the economic burden of CeD remain uncertain. The aim of this review was to inform stakeholders across society and contribute to improved policies to support patients with CeD.

Abstract
Andean roots can be used as an alternative to gluten-free food. The objective of this study was to enhance the technological and nutritional properties of Andean root flours to promote their industrial applicability. The water content and activity of the flour were lower than those required to prevent mold growth. The bulk density of the flour was comparable to that of wheat flour. The flour of Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. exhibited the lowest water absorption capacity of the tested samples. However, both this flour and Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruiz & Pavón showed a higher fat absorption capacity. The samples exhibited type-II isotherms, indicating that the flours were highly hygroscopic. The Guggenheim, Anderson, and de Boer GAB model showed a higher coefficient of determination in mathematical modeling. The chroma of T. tuberosum Ruiz & Pavón flour was higher than the other samples, which was related to total carotenoids and lycopene. Furthermore, I. batatas (L.) Lam. exhibited the highest phenol value.

Abstract
Celiac disease, a chronic autoimmune disorder caused by genetic factors and exposure to gluten, is increasingly being recognized and diagnosed in both children and adults. Scientists have been searching for a cure for this disease for many years, but despite the impressive development of knowledge in this field, a gluten-free diet remains the only recommended therapy for all patients. At the same time, the increasing diagnosis of celiac disease in adults, which was considered a childhood disease in the 20th century, has opened a discussion on the etiopathology of the disease, which is proven to be very complex and involves genetic, immunological, nutritional, environmental and gut microbiota-related factors. In this review, we extensively discuss these factors and summarize the knowledge of the proposed state-of-the-art treatments for celiac disease to address the question of whether a better understanding of the etiopathogenesis of celiac disease has opened new directions for therapy.

Abstract
Importance The extent and factors associated with risk of diagnostic delay in pediatric celiac disease (CD) are poorly understood. Objectives To investigate the diagnostic delay of CD in childhood, and to assess factors associated with this delay. Design, Setting, and Participants Multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study (2010-2019) of pediatric (aged 0-18 years) patients with CD from 13 pediatric tertiary referral centers in Italy. Data were analyzed from January to June 2023. Main Outcomes and Measures The overall diagnostic delay (ie, the time lapse occurring from the first symptoms or clinical data indicative of CD and the definitive diagnosis), further split into preconsultation and postconsultation diagnostic delay, were described. Univariable and multivariable linear regression models for factors associated with diagnostic delay were fitted. Factors associated with extreme diagnostic delay (ie, 1.5 × 75th percentile) and misdiagnosis were assessed. Results A total of 3171 patients with CD were included. The mean (SD) age was 6.2 (3.9) years; 2010 patients (63.4%) were female; and 10 patients (0.3%) were Asian, 41 (1.3%) were Northern African, and 3115 (98.3%) were White. The median (IQR) overall diagnostic delay was 5 (2-11) months, and preconsultation and postconsultation diagnostic delay were 2 (0-6) months and 1 (0-3) month, respectively. The median (IQR) extreme overall diagnostic delay (586 cases [18.5%]) was 11 (5-131) months, and the preconsultation and postconsultation delays were 6 (2-120) and 3 (1-131) months, respectively. Patients who had a first diagnosis when aged less than 3 years (650 patients [20.5%]) showed a shorter diagnostic delay, both overall (median [IQR], 4 [1-7] months for patients aged less than 3 years vs 5 [2-12] months for others) and postconsultation (median [IQR], 1 [0-2] month for patients aged less than 3 years vs 2 [0-4] months for others). A shorter delay was registered in male patients, both overall (median [IQR], 4 [1-10] months for male patients vs 5 [2-12] months for female patients) and preconsultation (median [IQR], 1 [0-6] month for male patients vs 2 [0-6] months for female patients). Family history of CD was associated with lower preconsultation delay (odds ratio [OR], 0.59; 95% CI, 0.47-0.74) and lower overall extreme diagnostic delay (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.56-0.99). Neurological symptoms (78 patients [21.5%]; OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.03-1.78), gastroesophageal reflux (9 patients [28.1%]; OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.02-3.42), and failure to thrive (215 patients [22.6%]; OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.31-2.00) showed a more frequent extreme diagnostic delay. A previous misdiagnosis (124 patients [4.0%]) was more frequently associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, fatigue, osteopenia, and villous atrophy (Marsh 3 classification). Conclusions and Relevance In this cross-sectional study of pediatric CD, the diagnostic delay was rather short. Some factors associated with risk for longer diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis emerged, and these should be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate the association between early environmental factors and the development of coeliac disease (CeD) in adolescents, recruited from a cohort nested in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC). DESIGN The study was designed as a prospective cohort study, nested in DNBC PARTICIPANTS: The Glutenfunen cohort comprises 1266 participants, nested in DNBC. All participants were screened for CeD, and in total, 28 cases of biopsy proven CeD were identified. Data about breastfeeding, timing of introduction to solid food in infancy, use of antibiotics, infections and symptoms were parentally reported prospectively at 6 months and 18 months, respectively. We estimated ORs and 95% CIs of CeD in adolescents using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Viral croup reported at 18 months of age was associated with CeD in adolescents with an OR of 3.2 (95% CI: 1.2 to 8.7). Furthermore, otitis media also reported at 18 months of age was linked with CeD with an OR of 3.2 (95% CI: 1.5 to 7.3). We were not able to find any statistical associations between CeD and breastfeeding, frequency of infections, parentally reported use of antibiotic and timing of solid foods. CONCLUSION In this study, we present an overview of the relationship between early environmental factors and occurrence of CeD in adolescents. Our findings, despite limitations due to a limited number of cases of CeD, suggest a role of viral infections in the pathogenesis of CeD.

Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 404:110322. [PMID: 37454506 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
The nutritional quality of gluten-free (GF) products is usually improved by using flours derived from alternative grains (e.g., pseudocereals and legumes), additives and hydrolysates, leading to long ingredient lists in the labels, that conflict with current customer expectations. In this work, chestnut, carob, and hemp flours were used as mixed ingredients for making a gluten-free type-II sourdough. Three exopolysaccharides-producer lactic acid bacteria, belonging to Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Weissella cibaria, and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, were used, and the fermentation processes (6 log10 cfu/g, 25 °C, 16 h) optimize to maximize the EPS synthesis (15.70 ± 2.1 mg/kg). The chestnut-hemp (70:30) type-II sourdough was included in a rice/corn gluten-free bread recipe also containing psyllium flour as structuring agent. Although the fortification with unfermented flours already led the achievement of 6 g/100 g of fiber (high fiber, Regulation EC n. 1924/2006) and content of magnesium higher than the daily reference intakes, the use of type-II sourdoughs led to a further structural, sensory, and nutritional improvements (e.g., decreasing the main anti-nutritional factor phytic acid). This work demonstrated that the use of ad-hoc selected ingredients and optimized protocol can be used to produce a GF and "clean label" bread with optimal nutritional features and appreciable sensory and structural properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder with complex etiology, with a significant portion of disease risk imparted by genetics. Traditional genome-wide association studies (GWAS) produce principal evidence for the association of genetic variants with disease. Transcriptomic imputation (TI) allows for the translation of those variants into regulatory mechanisms, which can then be used to assess the functional outcome of genetically regulated gene expression (GReX) in a broader setting through the use of phenome-wide association studies (pheWASs) in large and diverse clinical biobank populations with electronic health record phenotypes. METHODS Here, we applied TI using S-PrediXcan to translate the most recent PGC-ED AN GWAS findings into AN-GReX. For significant genes, we imputed AN-GReX in the Mount Sinai BioMe™ Biobank and performed pheWASs on over 2000 outcomes to test the clinical consequences of aberrant expression of these genes. We performed a secondary analysis to assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) and sex on AN-GReX clinical associations. RESULTS Our S-PrediXcan analysis identified 53 genes associated with AN, including what is, to our knowledge, the first-genetic association of AN with the major histocompatibility complex. AN-GReX was associated with autoimmune, metabolic, and gastrointestinal diagnoses in our biobank cohort, as well as measures of cholesterol, medications, substance use, and pain. Additionally, our analyses showed moderation of AN-GReX associations with measures of cholesterol and substance use by BMI, and moderation of AN-GReX associations with celiac disease by sex. CONCLUSIONS Our BMI-stratified results provide potential avenues of functional mechanism for AN-genes to investigate further.

Abstract
A gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only available treatment for celiac disease (CeD), and it may also improve symptoms in non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGWS). In CeD, gluten triggers an immune reaction leading to enteropathy, malabsorption, and symptoms; in NCGWS, the mechanism leading to symptoms is unknown, and neither wheat nor gluten triggers enteropathy or malabsorption. A strict GFD is, therefore, necessary for CeD, but a gluten-restricted diet (GRD) may suffice to achieve symptom control for NCGWS. Regardless of this distinction, the risk of malnutrition and macro- and micronutrient deficiencies is increased by the adoption of a GFD or GRD. Thus, patients with CeD or NCGWS should undergo nutritional assessment and subsequent monitoring, based on evidence-based tools, under the care of a multidisciplinary team involving physicians and dietitians, for the long-term management of their nutrition. This review gives an overview of available nutrition assessment tools and considerations for the nutritional management of CeD and NCGWS populations.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Celiac disease (CD), an immune-mediated enteropathy, has a clinical spectrum that is remarkably wide and includes neuropsychiatric manifestations. While studies of adults have shown sleep disturbances, there is limited data in children. Our objectives were to assess the association between sleep disturbances and CD in children, and the effect of a gluten-free diet. METHODS Parents of children 3-12 years old referred for endoscopy completed the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children and modified Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Children with CD were compared with healthy controls and children with abdominal pain but no definitive findings on investigation. Parents of children with CD and abdominal pain were contacted after 6 months for follow-up. RESULTS We enrolled 101 patients, mean age 6.5 (2.8), 51% female, 38 with CD, 18 abdominal pain, and 45 healthy. Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children scores were 37.4 (8.7), 41.3 (11.3), and 45.4 (13.7) in healthy controls, CD, and abdominal pain, respectively (P = .024). There was a significant difference in the disorders of arousal domain (P = .044). There were no significant differences on the modified Epworth Sleepiness Scale. A trend toward improvement in Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children scores was seen in children with CD presenting with abdominal pain after 6 months on a gluten-free diet (P = .07). CONCLUSIONS In this first prospective study of sleep disturbances in children with CD, we show high rates of disturbed sleep compared with healthy children. Sleep disturbances did not improve on a gluten-free diet and may be driven by abdominal pain. CITATION Reiter J, Abuelhija H, Slae M, et al.

Abstract
Elm bark (Ulmus pumila L.) flour is a nutritious and sustainable edible material for developing the macromolecular network in the food matrix. In this study, the effects of Elm bark flour and water addition on technological and sensory characteristics of gluten-free whole foxtail millet bread were investigated. Structural analysis methods such as SEM, X-ray diffraction, and FTIR were used to supplement the rheological properties and baking quality. Results showed that Elm bark flour improved gelatinization characteristics and rheological properties (tanδ < 1) of gluten-free dough. Moreover, the porous and network structure of gluten-free bread was observed by image analysis and further confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction, endowing higher specific volume (1.98 ± 0.13 cm3/g), and a decrease hardness from 97.43 to 11.56 N. Additionally, with the incorporation of Elm bark flour-water combination, specific volume (2.15 ± 0.09 cm3/g) and hardness (6.83 ± 0.50 N) were further optimized. Combined with the results of rheological properties and bread structure, Elm bark flour at 15% ratio and water addition at 120% level exhibited the most potent improvement of gluten-free bread. These results might contribute to the potential utilization of Elm bark flour as the sustainable resource in gluten-free products.

Abstract
The main goal of this work was to investigate the impact of impaired mastication on nutrient bioaccessibility of gluten-free bread in the elderly. In vitro boluses were produced with the AM2 masticator by using two types of programming: normal mastication (NM) and deficient mastication (DM). Static in vitro gastrointestinal digestion was performed with the digestive physiology conditions of the elderly. Subsequently, the granulometric properties of the in vitro boluses produced, their starch and protein digestibility, and lipid peroxidation after in vitro oral and gastrointestinal digestion were evaluated. DM boluses presented higher proportions of large particles, resulting in insufficiently fragmented boluses. A delay in oral starch digestion was observed in DM boluses, probably due to the presence of larger particles that limited the bolus-saliva exchanges. Furthermore, DM boluses exhibited a lower degree of protein hydrolysis at the end of gastric digestion, whereas no differences were observed for protein hydrolysis, sugar release, and lipid peroxidation at the end of digestion (intestinal phase). The results of this study show that impaired mastication somewhat delays the nutrient bioaccessibility of the gluten-free bread tested. Such understanding of the effect of oral decline on the nutrient bioaccessibility of foods is crucial when designing food commodities with enhanced functionalities for the elderly.

Restorative effects of Acetobacter ghanensis on the pathogenicity of gliadin-induced modulation of tight junction-associated gene expression in intestinal epithelial cells.

Abstract
Background/Aim: At present, a gluten-free diet is the only efficient way to treat celiac disease (CD). The development of novel approaches to lessen or counteract the pathogenic effects of gluten remains crucial for the treatment of CD. The aim in this investigation was to examine the restorative effects of Acetobacter ghanensis as a novel probiotic against gliadin-induced modulation in the barrier integrity of an intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) model (Caco-2).
Methods: Fully differentiated Caco-2 cell monolayers were subjected to enzymatically digested gliadin with a pepsin and trypsin (PT) in the presence or absence of A. ghanensis for 90 min. The relative amounts of zonulin, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), claudin-1, and occludin mRNA expression were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was evaluated to monitor the barrier integrity of cell monolayers. Statistical analyses were carried out using one- or two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc analysis for multiple pairwise comparisons.
Results: A significant upregulation (4.7-fold) of zonulin was noted in the PT-gliadin treated Caco-2 cells in comparison with the untreated controls (P<0.001). Conversely, gliadin-induced zonulin expression was markedly downregulated in the Caco-2 cells following exposure to A. ghanensis in the presence of PT-gliadin (P<0.001). Furthermore, prominent decreases in the mRNA expression levels of ZO-1 (45%) and occludin (40%) were seen in the PT-gliadin exposed Caco-2 cells compared to the untreated control cells (P<0.001). PT-gliadin in the Caco-2 cells did not significantly alter the mRNA levels of claudin-1 (P=0.172). Similarly to zonulin expression, the decreasing effect of PT-gliadin on ZO-1 was completely attenuated in the PT-gliadin-administrated Caco-2 cells following exposure to A. ghanensis (P<0.001).
Conclusion: A. ghanensis restored the pathogenicity of PT-gliadin on intestinal barrier integrity.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is an immunoallergic enteropathy affecting genetically susceptible individuals upon dietary exposure to gluten. In current clinical practice, the diagnosis of CD is based on a combination of clinical, serologic, and histologic factors with the possible exception of pediatric patients. Histopathologic evaluation of small intestinal tissue plays a critical role in the disease diagnosis and management, despite many practical challenges. Recently published best practice guidelines help to standardize biopsy sample procurement, tissue preparation, histology interpretation, and reporting, to optimize patient care. In addition, an increasing demand for monitoring the disease course, particularly demonstrating the efficacy of dietary and nondietary interventions for disease management, calls for the use of quantitative histology. With the advent of a gradual transition toward digital pathology in routine diagnostic practice, quantitative histopathologic evaluation in CD shows a promising future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Celiac disease with its endoscopic manifestation of villous atrophy (VA) is underdiagnosed worldwide. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) for the macroscopic detection of VA at routine EGD may improve diagnostic performance. METHODS A dataset of 858 endoscopic images of 182 patients with VA and 846 images from 323 patients with normal duodenal mucosa was collected and used to train a ResNet18 deep learning model to detect VA. An external dataset was used to test the algorithm, in addition to 6 fellows and 4 board-certified gastroenterologists. Fellows could consult the AI algorithm's result during the test. From their consultation distribution, a stratification of test images into "easy" and "difficult" was performed and used for classified performance measurement. RESULTS External validation of the AI algorithm yielded values of 90%, 76%, and 84% for sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, respectively. Fellows scored corresponding values of 63%, 72%, and 67% and experts scored 72%, 69%, and 71%, respectively. AI consultation significantly improved all trainee performance statistics. Although fellows and experts showed significantly lower performance for difficult images, the performance of the AI algorithm was stable. CONCLUSIONS In this study, an AI algorithm outperformed endoscopy fellows and experts in the detection of VA on endoscopic still images. AI decision support significantly improved the performance of nonexpert endoscopists. The stable performance on difficult images suggests a further positive add-on effect in challenging cases.

Abstract
The incidence of celiac disease in first-degree relatives of affected individuals is higher than in the general population, yet the clinical characteristics of this unique subset of patients has not been well described. Through a retrospective review of patients seen in a tertiary care pediatric celiac disease clinic, we identified 49 patients diagnosed with celiac disease following screening due to an affected first-degree relative. Although 51% of patients screened due to an affected first-degree relative were asymptomatic, their disease histology was as severe as those screened for symptoms suggestive of celiac disease. These findings support current recommendations to screen all first-degree relatives of patients with celiac disease regardless of clinical symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Given the paucity of population-based data on the association between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), celiac disease (CeD) and celiac autoimmunity (CeA) we aimed to study the associations in a nationwide study. METHODS Utilizing health administrative data for all four health maintenance organizations in Israel, covering 98% of the population, we explored the prevalence of CeD in children and adults with IBD versus non-IBD matched controls. CeD was defined by three ICD-9 codes and CeA by positivity for tissue transglutaminase antibodies. RESULTS In total, 34,375 IBD patients (56% Crohn's disease [CD] and 44% ulcerative colitis [UC]) were compared with 93,603 non-IBD controls. Among IBD patients, 319 (0.93%) had CeD versus 294 (0.31%) non-IBD controls (odds ratio [OR]=2.97 [95%CI 2.54-3.48]; p<0.001). CeA was identified in 575 (1.67%) IBD patients vs. 158 (0.17%) controls (OR=10.06 [95%CI 8.43-12], p<0.001). The prevalence of CeD was higher in pediatric-onset IBD (87/5,243 [1.66%]) than adult-onset IBD (232/29,132 [0.79%]; p<0.001). CD patients had a higher prevalence of CeD (229/19,264 [1.19%]) than UC patients (90/15,111 [0.56%]; OR=2.01 [95%CI 1.57-2.56]; p<0.001). The diagnosis of CeD preceded the diagnosis of IBD in 241/319 cases (76%). The time to treatment escalation was shorter in patients with both IBD and CeD than in patients with IBD without CeD (p=0.017). CONCLUSION CeD and CeA are more prevalent in IBD patients, especially in pediatric-onset IBD and in CD. The diagnosis of CeD usually precedes that of IBD. Having CeD is associated with more intensified treatment for IBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis are immune-mediated diseases triggered by the consumption of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. These guidelines were developed to provide general practitioners, paediatricians, gastroenterologists, and other clinicians with an overview on the diagnosis, management and follow-up of coeliac patients and those with dermatitis herpetiformis. METHODS Guidelines were developed by the Italian Societies of Gastroenterology. Following a systematic literature review, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology was used to assess the certainty of the evidence. Statements and recommendations were developed by working groups consisting of gastroenterologists and a paediatrician with expertise in this field. RESULTS These guidelines provide a practical guidance for the diagnosis, management and follow-up of coeliac patients and dermatitis herpetiformis in children and adults, both in primary care and in specialist settings. We developed four sections on diagnosis, gluten-free diet, follow-up and risk of complications in adults, one section focused on diagnosis and follow-up in children and one on the diagnosis and management of dermatitis herpetiformis. CONCLUSIONS These guidelines may support clinicians to improve the diagnosis and management of patients with coeliac disease.

Work Loss in Patients With Celiac Disease: A Population-based Longitudinal Study. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 20:1068-1076.e6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Celiac disease (CD) affects around 1% of the population worldwide. Data on work disability in patients with CD remain scarce. We estimated work loss in patients with CD, including its temporal relationship to diagnosis. METHODS Through biopsy reports from Sweden's 28 pathology departments, we identified 16,005 working-aged patients with prevalent CD (villus atrophy) as of January 1, 2015, and 4936 incident patients diagnosed with CD in 2008 to 2015. Each patient was matched to up to 5 general-population comparators. Using nationwide social insurance registers, we retrieved prospectively recorded data on compensation for sick leave and disability leave to assess work loss in patients and comparators. RESULTS In 2015, patients with prevalent CD had a mean of 42.5 lost work days as compared with 28.6 in comparators (mean difference, 14.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 13.2-16.2), corresponding to a relative increase of 49%. More than one-half of the work loss (60.1%) in patients with CD was derived from a small subgroup (7%), whereas 75.4% had no work loss. Among incident patients, the annual mean difference between patients and comparators was 8.0 days (range, 5.4-10.6 days) of lost work 5 years before CD diagnosis, which grew to 13.7 days (range, 9.1-18.3 days) 5 years after diagnosis. No difference in work loss was observed between patients with or without mucosal healing at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CD lost more work days than comparators before their diagnosis, and this loss increased after diagnosis. Identifying patients with an increased risk of work loss may serve as a target to mitigate work disability, and thereby reduce work loss, in patients with CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small intestine disease endangers human health and is not easy to locate and diagnose.
AIM To observe the effect of the MS series of small intestine endoscopes on the gastrointestinal tract, the changes in serum gastrin levels and intestinal tissue, and the time required for the examination.
METHODS In vivo experiments in 20 Living pigs were conducted, Bowel preparation was routinely performed, Intravenous anesthesia with propofol and ketamine was applied, the condition of the small intestine was observed and the detection time of the MS series of small intestine endoscopes were recorded, The changes in intestinal tissue using the MS series of small intestine endoscopes observed and compared before and after the examination, Venous blood (3-5 mL) from pigs was collected before and after the experiment; changes in intestinal tissue after use of the MS series of small intestine endoscopes observed after examination. After completion of each type of small intestine endoscope experiment, the pigs were allowed to rest and the next type of small intestine endoscope experiment was performed after 15 days of normal feeding. The detection time data of the single-balloon small intestine endoscope and double-balloon small intestine endoscope were collected from four hospitals.
RESULTS One case of Ascarislumbricoides, one of suspected Crohn's disease, one small intestinal diverticulum and one anesthesia accident were observed in pigs. The small intestine showed no differences in the MS series of small intestine endoscopes and there were no differences in serum gastrin between the groups (P > 0.05). The time required for inspection was recorded, and the overall detection time for the Japanese small intestine endoscopes was approximately 1.68 ± 0.16 h.
CONCLUSION Intestinal ascariasis is a common disease in pigs. Some pigs have abnormal intestinal variation. After continuous upgrade and improvement, the MS-3 and MS-4 small intestine endoscope appear superior in terms of detection time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on celiac disease (CD) in northwest China is still in its infancy. At present, large-sample data on the epidemiological, clinical, and pathological characteristics of CD are limited.
AIM To investigate the epidemiological, clinical, and pathological characteristics of CD in northwest China.
METHODS The clinical data of 2884 patients with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were retrospectively analyzed. Total immunoglobulin A (IgA) and anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA levels were examined in all patients. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy were performed in patients with positive anti-tTG IgA and deficient total IgA levels. Atrophy of the duodenal and ileal villi was examined and histopathological examinations were performed. The modified Marsh–Oberhuber classification system was used to grade villous atrophy in the duodenum or distal ileum. The patients’ Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status was compared in terms of clinical presentation and Marsh grade. Statistical analyses were performed using the t-test or chi-square test.
RESULTS Among the 2884 patients, 73 were positive for serum anti-tTG IgA, and 50 were diagnosed with CD. The CD detection rate was significantly higher in Kazakhs (4.39%) than in Uyghurs (2.19%), Huis (0.71%), and Hans (0.55%). The main symptoms of CD were chronic diarrhea, anorexia, anemia, fatigue, weight loss, sleep disorders, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. The body mass index of patients with CD was significantly lower than that of patients without CD. A total of 69 patients with positive serum anti-tTG IgA and two patients with deficient total IgA levels underwent GI endoscopy. Endoscopy revealed crypt hyperplasia and/or duodenal villous atrophy, mainly manifested as nodular mucosal atrophy, grooves, and fissures. The difference in H. pylori infection rates was not statistically significant between CD and non-CD patients but was significantly different among CD patients with different Marsh grades.
CONCLUSION Among the patients with GI symptoms in northwestern China, the prevalence of CD was more in the Uyghur and Kazakh populations. H. pylori infection may be associated with CD severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is a common cause of malabsorption that is definitively diagnosed by abnormal bowel biopsy, symptoms and histologic changes to gluten free diet. The symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are common in our community as the majority of people in Guilan, north of Iran, consume rice daily. Also, a number of celiac patients are unknown, and IBS are mistakenly diagnosed. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of CD among IBS patients. METHODS A total of 475 consecutive patients with IBS, confirmed by Rome IV, underwent celiac serological tests antitissue transglutaminase antibodies (IgA-tTG, IgG-tTG) after obtaining a written consent form. In case of positive serological tests, biopsy was performed from small intestine after endoscopyRESULTS: Thirty-one (6.53%, 95% CI: 4.55-9.22) patients were positive for celiac serology. Based on Marsh-Oberhuber criteria, out of 9 patients with positive pathology 77.78% (95% CI: 40.19-96.05) had marsh IIIc. In IBS patients cramp (0.009) and stomach fullness (0.021) were two statistically significant IBS symptoms. CONCLUSIONS We suggest physicians to consider celiac examinations for all patients with IBS symptoms, even for patients with no obvious celiac symptoms.

Abstract
PURPOSE Children with celiac disease (CD) are at an increased risk of low bone mineral density (BMD) owing to malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins, inflammation, and malnutrition. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for low BMD in Iranian children with CD. METHODS This prospective cohort study examined 149 Iranian children with CD between 2011 and 2018 at Zabol University of Medical Sciences. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected from patients' medical records. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with low areal BMD (BMD-Z <-2) in the lumbar spine and femoral neck. Descriptive data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, and relative frequency. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, t-test, and analysis of variance. RESULTS Of the 149 children with CD, 27.5% had osteoporosis. The mean body mass index (BMI) Z score was -1.28±1.2. Lower BMI was associated with a higher likelihood of BMD-Z (odds ratio 2.17; p≤0.05). CONCLUSION Overall, the findings of this study showed that there was no correlation among Marsh classification, presence of specific human leukocyte antigens, and low BMD in Iranian children with CD. BMI can be a predictor of bone density in children with CD and may be applied clinically in early screenings to evaluate the bone health status in these children.

Oncogenetic landscape of lymphomagenesis in coeliac disease. Gut 2022; 71:497-508. [PMID: 33579790 PMCID: PMC8862029 DOI: 10.1136/gutjnl-2020-322935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a rare but severe complication of coeliac disease (CeD), often preceded by low-grade clonal intraepithelial lymphoproliferation, referred to as type II refractory CeD (RCDII). Knowledge on underlying oncogenic mechanisms remains scarce. Here, we analysed and compared the mutational landscape of RCDII and EATL in order to identify genetic drivers of CeD-associated lymphomagenesis. DESIGN Pure populations of RCDII-cells derived from intestinal biopsies (n=9) or sorted from blood (n=2) were analysed by whole exome sequencing, comparative genomic hybridisation and RNA sequencing. Biopsies from RCDII (n=50), EATL (n=19), type I refractory CeD (n=7) and uncomplicated CeD (n=18) were analysed by targeted next-generation sequencing. Moreover, functional in vitro studies and drug testing were performed in RCDII-derived cell lines. RESULTS 80% of RCDII and 90% of EATL displayed somatic gain-of-functions mutations in the JAK1-STAT3 pathway, including a remarkable p.G1097 hotspot mutation in the JAK1 kinase domain in approximately 50% of cases. Other recurrent somatic events were deleterious mutations in nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells (NF-κB) regulators TNFAIP3 and TNIP3 and potentially oncogenic mutations in TET2, KMT2D and DDX3X. JAK1 inhibitors, and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib could block survival and proliferation of malignant RCDII-cell lines. CONCLUSION Mutations activating the JAK1-STAT3 pathway appear to be the main drivers of CeD-associated lymphomagenesis. In concert with mutations in negative regulators of NF-κB, they may favour the clonal emergence of malignant lymphocytes in the cytokine-rich coeliac intestine. The identified mutations are attractive therapeutic targets to treat RCDII and block progression towards EATL.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic disease triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed individuals. It manifests primarily as an autoimmune enteropathy associated with specific circulating autoantibodies and a human leukocyte antigen haplotype (HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8). It afflicts roughly 1% of the population, though the majority of patients remain undiagnosed. Diarrhea and malabsorption are classic manifestations of CD; however, both children and adults can be paucisymptomatic and present extraintestinal manifestations such as anemia, osteoporosis, and abnormal liver tests. CD screening is not recommended for the general population, and it should be focused on high-risk groups. CD diagnosis is challenging and relies on serological tests, duodenal histology, and genetic testing. Particularly difficult presentations to manage are seronegative patients, seropositive patients without villus atrophy, and patients who have started a gluten-free diet before the diagnostic workup. The only proven treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. We present an in-depth review on the physiopathology and management of CD, with a particular emphasis on diagnostic challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of celiac disease in the general population is mainly unknown in most of sub-Saharan African countries. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA) and its associations with latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (LMTB) and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infections in Ethiopian children aged 4 years in an HLA genotyped cohort study. METHODS Of 1,389 recruited children between 2018 and 2022, 1,046 (75.3%) had been screened at least twice for celiac disease between the ages of 2 and 4 years using a tissue transglutaminase autoantibody (tTGA) ELISA kit. Tissue TGA-positive children were retested using radio-binding assays. CDA was defined as persistent-confirmed tTGA positivity in two consecutive samples. Associations of CDA with LMTB and HP were tested in a subpopulation of 752 children born to mothers who were previously tested for LMTB with IFN-γ and anti-HP antibodies in samples collected at a mean age of 49.3 ± 5.3 months. RESULTS Screening detected 38 out of 1,046 (3.6%) IgA-tTGA-positive children. Ten (1.0%) were confirmed to be positive, with six (0.6%) children diagnosed with CDA. The incidence of CDA at 4 years of age was 1.2 per 1,000 person-years. LMTB was found in 4 of 6 (66.7%) mothers with CDA children compared with 340 of 734 (46.3%) mothers of children without CDA (p = 0.424), while HP was found in 3 of 6 (50.0%) CDA children compared with 315 of 746 (42.2%) children without CDA (p = 0.702). CONCLUSION The incidence of CDA in Ethiopian children is lower than the pooled global incidence. Neither LMTB nor HP infections are associated with CD in Ethiopian children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to establish an unselected cohort of Danish adolescents and estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed celiac disease (CeD). METHODS The Glutenfunen cohort participants were recruited from an unselected subsample of the Danish National Birth Cohort, defined as participants living in the Island of Funen, Denmark. We invited all 7431 eligible participants in the age range of 15 to 21 years to a clinical visit. CeD diagnosis was based on screening with IgA transglutaminase antibodies (TG2-IgA) and if positive, was followed by duodenal biopsies compatible with CeD (Marsh 2-3). We calculated the prevalence of CeD in the Glutenfunen cohort as the number of CeD cases diagnosed before and during the study divided by the number of participants in the Glutenfunen cohort. RESULTS We included 1266 participants in the Glutenfunen cohort (17%, 1266/7431). 1.1% (14 of 1266 participants) had CeD diagnosed before entering the cohort and based on the Danish National Patient Register, 0.2% of the nonparticipants (14 of 6165) had a diagnosis of CeD. In total, 2.6% (33 participants) had TG2 IgA above the upper limit of normal. Nineteen participants had duodenal biopsies compatible with CeD. The prevalence of CeD in the Glutenfunen cohort was 2.6% [(14 + 19)/1266]. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that CeD is much more common than expected among Danish adolescents, comparable to other European countries, and that the majority were asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic and were only found because of the screening procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM We aimed to describe the socio-demographic, behavioral and clinical profiles of adult patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease (CeD) and their possible association with QoL and psychological symptoms. METHODS Adults newly diagnosed with CeD and residents in the Veneto region were included. Their sociodemographic characteristics, clinical presentation, mode of diagnosis, duration of symptoms before diagnosis and comorbidities were recorded. All patients completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaires. RESULTS Between 2016 and 2019, 110 CeD patients (81% females, mean age 37.5) were recruited. At diagnosis, patients were categorized into classical (n = 56), nonclassical CeD (n = 49) and asymptomatic (n = 5) groups. Patients with classical presentation had a lower QoL than nonclassical patients, who were found to be more depressed. We observed a diagnosis delay of more than 7 months in more than 60% of patients with both classical and nonclassical presentations and we found that a longer duration of GI symptoms decreased the self-reported SF36 scores in the physical health (p = 0.002), social functioning (p = 0.03) and general health (p = 0.009) domains. Women had an overall lower self-perceived QoL. CONCLUSIONS Symptomatic presentation at CeD diagnosis, diagnostic delay and sex may affect QoL and psychological disorders.

Abstract
The objectives of this pilot study were to examine fecal microbiota composition of pediatric patients with celiac disease (CD) before and after a 1-year gluten-free diet (GFD) and to determine the association with symptoms and anti-tissue transglutaminase (aTTG) antibody. Methods Stool samples were obtained from pediatric patients with CD and from healthy controls. Patients were classified by the presence (diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss) or absence (asymptomatic, headache, fatigue, etc.) of typical CD gastrointestinal symptoms and by aTTG normalization post-GFD intervention (< 7 U/mL). Fecal microbial composition was measured using 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing of the V3-V4 region. Results At diagnosis, 13 of 22 patients with CD had typical gastrointestinal symptoms, the remaining patients having atypical or asymptomatic presentations. After a 1-year GFD, all symptomatic patients improved and 9 of 19 had normalized aTTG. Prior to GFD, no distinct microbial signature was observed between patients and controls (P = 0.39). Post-GFD, patients with CD had a unique microbial signature with reductions in known fiber-degrading bacteria, including Blautia, Dorea, Lactobacillus, and Prevotella compared with controls. Within the patients with CD, microbial composition was not associated with reported symptom presentation or aTTG normalization. Conclusions Pediatric patients with CD only had a unique microbial signature compared with healthy controls when placed on the GFD. These results suggest that pediatric patients with CD may not have a unique fecal microbial signature indicative of inherent dysbiosis, in contrast to that suggested for older patients. In children with CD, diet may play a role in shaping microbial composition more so than disease status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease is a common disorder but there are few studies comparing the clinical features of the disease in adults, adolescents and children. METHODS Demographic and clinical characteristics of all patients with celiac disease referred to the Celiac Clinic were evaluated and compared in different age groups. RESULTS Of 3416 participants, 473 patients were included. 302 (63.8%) were women and 171 (36.2%) were men. Overall, 325 (68.7%) and 411 (86.9%) patients had gastrointestinal (GI) and non-GI manifestations, respectively. The most common symptom in adults was psychiatric problems (66.5%), while abdominal discomfort was the most common symptom in adolescents (45.2%) and children (53.8%). According to age groups, GI manifestations were seen in 79 (66.4%), 119 (59.8%), and 127 (81.9%) children, adolescents, and adults, respectively. Adults had significantly more GI manifestations than the other groups (PR 1.167; 95% CI: 1.094- 1.244; p < 0.001). Non-GI manifestations were seen in 90 (75.6%), 174 (87.4%), and 147 (94.8%) children, adolescents, and adults, respectively. Adults had significantly more non-GI manifestations than the other groups (PR 1.112; 95% CI: 1.060-1.168; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study showed that there were significant differences in the clinical features of celiac disease between the different age groups. Considering these results may help plan for future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of coeliac disease (CD) is around 1%, but diagnosis is challenged by varied presentation and non-specific symptoms and signs. This study aimed to identify diagnostic indicators that may help identify patients at a higher risk of CD in whom further testing is warranted. METHODS International guidance for systematic review methods were followed and the review was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42020170766). Six databases were searched until April 2021. Studies investigating diagnostic indicators, such as symptoms or risk conditions, in people with and without CD were eligible for inclusion. Risk of bias was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Summary sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values were estimated for each diagnostic indicator by fitting bivariate random effects meta-analyses. FINDINGS 191 studies reporting on 26 diagnostic indicators were included in the meta-analyses. We found large variation in diagnostic accuracy estimates between studies and most studies were at high risk of bias. We found strong evidence that people with dermatitis herpetiformis, migraine, family history of CD, HLA DQ2/8 risk genotype, anaemia, type 1 diabetes, osteoporosis, or chronic liver disease are more likely than the general population to have CD. Symptoms, psoriasis, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, fractures, type 2 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis showed poor diagnostic ability. A sensitivity analysis revealed a 3-fold higher risk of CD in first-degree relatives of CD patients. CONCLUSIONS Targeted testing of individuals with dermatitis herpetiformis, migraine, family history of CD, HLA DQ2/8 risk genotype, anaemia, type 1 diabetes, osteoporosis, or chronic liver disease could improve case-finding for CD, therefore expediting appropriate treatment and reducing adverse consequences. Migraine and chronic liver disease are not yet included as a risk factor in all CD guidelines, but it may be appropriate for these to be added. Future research should establish the diagnostic value of combining indicators.

[PMID: 34621764 PMCID: PMC8491777 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.731067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Objective: The diagnosis of Celiac Disease (CD) is first based on the positivity for specific serological markers. The CytoBead CeliAK immunoassay simultaneously measures antibodies (IgA) directed to tissue transglutaminase (tTG), endomysium (EMA), and deamidated gliadin (DG), in addition to providing a control for total IgA levels. The aim of this study is to assess the reliability of this multiplex assay to detect anti-tTG IgA positive patients, compared with a conventional single-parameter enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Methods: Serum samples from 149 pediatric patients were assessed by both CytoBead CeliAK immunoassay and ELISA, in order to evaluate their concordance for the measurement of anti-tTG IgA. Results: The measurement of anti-tTG IgA by CytoBead CeliAK immunoassay basically showed a complete concordance rate with the conventional and single-parameter ELISA, according to the respective cutoff values (3 U/ml and 10 U/ml). Conclusions: Our comparative analysis demonstrates a substantial equivalency between multiplex CytoBead CeliAK assay and the single-parameter conventional ELISA to assess anti-tTG IgA antibody in the context of the screening for CD in children. Importantly, CytoBead CeliAK assay could present some preanalytic, analytic, and economic advantages.

The expansion of CD14+ CD163+ subpopulation of monocytes and myeloid cells-associated cytokine imbalance; candidate diagnostic biomarkers for celiac disease (CD). J Clin Lab Anal 2021; 35:e23984. [PMID: 34449925 PMCID: PMC8529138 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
UNLABELLED Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder of small intestine against dietary gluten, among genetically predisposed individuals. Monocytes are versatile innate immune cells involved in the regulation of inflammation, and strongly involved in the intestinal immunity. However, the role of monocytes and their subtypes in CD is not well demonstrated. METHODS Here, we assessed the polarization of CD14+ monocytes by evaluating the M1 (CD16) and M2 (CD163) markers by flowcytometry, their soluble forms (sCD16 and sCD163), and the serum levels of IL-10, IL-12, TGF-β, and TNF-α cytokines using ELISA method, among 30 CD patients and 30 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects (HS). We also analyzed the diagnostic values of all variables with significant differences. RESULTS CD14+CD163+ monocytes were more frequent in CD patients than HS, while CD14+CD16+ monocytes were higher in HS. IL-10and TNF-α increased, and TGF-β expression was decreased among CD patients. The sCD16 serum levels were elevated in patients, while sCD163 was higher but not significant among CD patients. CD163+/CD16+ and IL-10/IL-12 ratios were higher in CD patients, and TGFβ/TNFα ratio was higher in HS group. IL-10, CD14+CD163+, TNF-α, and IL-10/IL-12 ratios with the AUC over 0.7 were introduced as fair diagnostic markers. Our findings revealed that the M2 (CD14+CD163+) monocytes were more frequent among CD patients, and the cytokine balance was disturbed. CONCLUSION According to the significant functional diversities of monocyte subtypes between CD patients and HS group, these immunologic markers could be introduced as specific diagnostic biomarkers for CD.

Abstract
AIM Dutch national guidelines on follow-up of paediatric celiac disease (CD) are available. The primary aim was to evaluate guideline adherence by paediatricians during follow-up. The secondary aim was to determine the clinical relevance and diagnostic yield of routine laboratory tests suggested by these guidelines. METHODS A retrospective, single-centre, cohort study was performed in paediatric CD patients who visited Tergooi Hospital, the Netherlands, between January 2017 and December 2019, with follow-up of at least twelve months after diagnosis. We analysed guideline adherence, number of outpatient visits and all laboratory data. RESULTS We included 91 CD children with a median follow-up of 4.0 years (range 1-16 years) and 162 follow-up visits. Strict adherence amongst paediatricians during follow-up was 8.0% (13/162 cases). A total of 1570 laboratory tests were performed of which 45.4% (713/1570) was in strict compliance with the Dutch national guidelines. Clinically relevant deviations were observed in 5.3% of requested laboratory tests. CONCLUSION Strict guideless adherence amongst paediatricians in follow-up of paediatric CD was low and the clinical relevance of the suggested routine laboratory tests is limited. This underlines the increasing notion that evidence-based guidelines on follow-up of CD are warranted.

Abstract
Recently, there has been an increase in demand for gluten-free (GF) products due to the growing number of gluten-intolerant and healthy individuals choosing to follow a gluten-free diet. Gluten-free bread (GFB) is a staple food product; therefore, many recent studies have reported the nutritional properties of GFB. However, an overview of the current ingredients and nutritional labeling of GFB worldwide has not yet been provided. This review aimed to gather the latest information regarding the most used ingredients in GFB formulations and the nutritional quality of these products from different countries, based on studies published in the last decade (2010-2020). Our analysis showed that GFB had a lower protein and a higher fat content than gluten-containing bread, and the dietary fiber content was highly variable between countries. Some studies have revealed a high glycaemic index in most products, which is associated with the extensive use of rice flour and starch as the main ingredients in GFB formulation. Label information presented significant differences from the data obtained through the chemical analysis of fiber and other nutritional components. Micronutrient fortification is not common in the GFB. The nutritional quality of commercial GFB is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is diagnosed by a combination of specific serology and typical duodenal lesions. The histological confirmation of CD, mandatory in the majority of patients with suspected CD, is based on invasive and poorly tolerated procedures, such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In this study we propose an alternative and non-invasive methodology able to confirm the diagnosis of CD based on the analysis of serum samples using the Raman spectroscopy technique. Three different bands centered at 1650, 1450 and 1003 cm-1 have been considered and the A1450/A1003 and A1650/A1003 ratios have been computed to discriminate between CD and non-CD subjects. The reliability of the methodology was validated by statistical analysis using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The Youden index was also determined to obtain optimal cut-off points. The obtained results highlighted that the proposed methodology was able to distinguish between CD and non-CD subjects with 98% accuracy. The optimal cut-off points revealed, for both the A1450/A1003 and A1650/A1003 ratios, high values of sensitivity and specificity (>95.0% and >92.0% respectively), confirming that Raman spectroscopy may be considered a valid alternative to duodenal biopsy and demonstrates spectral changes in the secondary structures of the protein network.

Abstract
To date, the only treatment for celiac disease (CD) consists of a strict lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD), which has numerous limitations in patients with CD. For this reason, dietary transgressions are frequent, implying intestinal damage and possible long-term complications. There is an unquestionable need for non-dietary alternatives to avoid damage by involuntary contamination or voluntary dietary transgressions. In recent years, different therapies and treatments for CD have been developed and studied based on the degradation of gluten in the intestinal lumen, regulation of the immune response, modulation of intestinal permeability, and induction of immunological tolerance. In this review, therapeutic lines for CD are evaluated with special emphasis on phase III and II clinical trials, some of which have promising results.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), presenting with an intense itch and blistering symmetrical rash, typically on the elbows, knees, and buttocks, is a cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease. Though overt gastrointestinal symptoms are rare, three-fourths of patients with DH have villous atrophy in the small bowel, and the rest have celiac-type inflammatory changes. DH affects mostly adults and slightly more males than females. The mean age at onset is about 50 years. DH diagnosis is confirmed by showing granular immunoglobulin A deposits in the papillary dermis. The DH autoantigen, transglutaminase 3, is deposited at the same site in tightly bound immune complexes. At present, the DH-to-celiac disease prevalence is 1:8. The incidence of DH is decreasing, whereas that of celiac disease is increasing, probably because of improved diagnostics. In DH, the treatment of choice for all patients is a gluten-free diet (GFD) in which uncontaminated oats are allowed. At onset, most patients need additional dapsone to rapidly control the rash and itching. Dapsone can be stopped after a mean of 2 years, and a strict lifelong GFD alone is required. Dietary adherence offers an excellent long-term prognosis for patients with DH, with a normal quality of life and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about celiac disease (CeD) diagnosis and management in China. AIM This pilot aimed to be the first study to describe, quantitatively and qualitatively, how individuals living in China navigate CeD and the gluten-free diet (GFD). METHODS Participants were 13 adults and four parents of children with reported CeD, recruited from 11 mainland China cities via an online GFD support group. CeD-specific quality of life (CD-QOL and CD-PQOL) and diet adherence (CDAT) were assessed. In-depth interviews addressed experiences with CeD and the GFD. RESULTS Six of 17 participants reported biopsy- or serology-confirmed CeD. The mean (SD) adult CDAT score was 15.2 (3.6), > 13 indicating inadequate GFD adherence. The mean adult CD-QOL score was 62.1 (24.1) out of 100, in the "medium" to "good" range. Results were similar in children. Major interview themes included: (1) a challenging journey to obtain diagnosis; (2) social and structural barriers to maintaining the GFD; and (3) reliance on self in management of CeD. CONCLUSION Obtaining a diagnosis, maintaining a GFD, and living with CeD can be extremely challenging in mainland China. Results suggest an urgent need for CeD-specific education and Asian-adapted GFD guidance for both healthcare practitioners and patients.

Abstract
Celiac disease is an immune-mediated process against gluten, resulting in inflammation and villous atrophy of the duodenum. Symptoms of malabsorption characterize the classic presentation; however, abdominal pain, constipation, and nutritional deficiencies can also be seen. We present a case of a 4-year-old boy who was found to have celiac disease after presenting with diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and new-onset pancytopenia. Symptoms resolved, and laboratory values normalized after the initiation of a gluten-free diet, indicating the bone marrow suppression was due to celiac disease, which needs to be considered when hematologic abnormalities are present, even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Villous atrophy (VA) is not pathognomonic of celiac disease (CD). We aimed at reporting distribution, clinical, and immunohistochemical features of seronegative VA (SNVA) in a pediatric population. METHODS We retrospectively collected data from patients who underwent intestinal biopsies between 2010 and 2017 and showed VA without serum CD-associated autoantibodies. Marsh-Oberhuber grading was used. Density of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) expressing CD3 or TCRγδ+ receptor and of lamina propria CD25+ cells was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Intestinal deposits of anti-tissue tranglutaminase2 (anti-TG2) were also investigated by double immunofluorescence. RESULTS Over a 7-year period, 64 out of 1282 patients with VA had negative serum CD serology. Diagnoses were: inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) (21/64), Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) (12/64), food allergy (8/64), infections (7/64, of which 3 HIV infections), immune deficiency (3/64), short bowel syndrome (3/64), congenital diarrhea (2/64), other/inconclusive diagnosis (8/64). Forty-four, 15, and 5 showed Marsh 3a, 3b, and 3c lesion, respectively. The latter category included 2 patients with Crohn disease, 2 with immunodeficiencies, 1 with lymphohistiocytosis. In 41/46 (89%) patients, mononuclear CD25+ cells were above the cut-off, indicating mucosal inflammation but only 18/46 (39%) had IELs and TCRγδ + IELs above limits of normality. In 10 of 46 (22%) patients, a positive immunofluorescence indicated the presence of anti-TG2 mucosal antibodies. CONCLUSIONS SNVA is not rare representing up to 5% of the cases of VA. Most patients have a Marsh 3a lesion. Immunohistochemical analysis may be helpful in excluding CD, whereas the finding of mucosal anti-TG2, particularly with a weak staining, shows no absolute specificity for CD.

Anti-tissue transglutaminase titers are associated with endoscopic findings and severity of mucosal damage in children with celiac disease. Eur J Pediatr 2021; 180:263-269. [PMID: 32772154 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-020-03770-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
We aimed to assess the correlation between clinical findings, serology, endoscopic findings, and histology in children diagnosed with celiac disease. Medical records of children diagnosed with celiac disease (2010-2017) at the Schneider Children's Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Correlation between serologic measures anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG)/anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) and other variables including mucosal damage, endoscopic findings (scalloping of duodenal folds), and clinical findings (abdominal pain, diarrhea, and anemia) was assessed. Out of 686 patients, 432 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria (females 262, 61%; median age 6.0; interquartile range 4.0-9.0 years). Distribution of histopathology findings was Marsh IIIa 4%, Marsh IIIb 25%, and Marsh IIIc 71% with 313 (73%) patients having anti-tTG titer of ≥ 10 times the upper normal limit. Anti-tTG titer (but not EMA) positively correlated with Marsh grades, scalloping of duodenal folds and anemia. Anti-tTG ≥ 10 times the upper normal limit was associated with Marsh IIIc changes with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.5 (95% confidence interval, 1.7-12.1). Diarrhea and abdominal pain were not associated with serologic, endoscopic, or histologic markers of disease severity.Conclusion: Anti-tTG titers correlated with macroscopic and microscopic mucosal damage, with anemia but not with diarrhea or abdominal pain in children with celiac disease. What is Known: • Tissue transglutaminase antibody titers were shown to correlate with the degree of mucosal damage in patients with celiac disease. • There is a limited evidence regarding the association of celiac serologies with endoscopic and clinical measures. What is New: • Higher titers of tissue transglutaminase but not anti-endomysial antibodies are associated with more severe histologic and endoscopic damage and with the presence of anemia. • Symptoms do not correlate with the severity of mucosal damage such as scalloping of duodenal folds and histopathology changes according to Marsh classification or with serologic markers.
