Abstract
Patients with ulcerative colitis sometimes need a total colectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis due to medically refractory disease or colitis-associated neoplasia. Up to 50% of patients with ulcerative colitis postoperatively develop pouchitis and the rate of chronic inflammatory pouch conditions requiring pouch excision or diverting ileostomy is reported to be 10%. In order to diagnose and monitor pouchitis, pouchoscopy is essential to assess endoscopic inflammatory findings of the J pouch and to survey neoplasia development, particularly in the remnant distal rectum. However, endoscopic protocols for the evaluation of the pouch may not be standardized worldwide and the reliability of existing disease activity indices for pouchitis has been questioned due to the lack of validation. Recently, reliable endoscopic scoring systems based on an observation of the anatomical location of the J pouch were reported and a significant association between the distribution pattern of endoscopic inflammation (i.e., endoscopic phenotype) and pouch outcomes was also uncovered. In this review, we discuss how to survey the J pouch using pouchoscopy, endoscopic indices for pouchitis disease activity, endoscopic phenotypes and classification, and the pathological mechanisms of pouchitis phenotype in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Despite the decreased rates in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) colectomies due to high advances in therapeutic options, a significant number of patients still require proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPPA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). Pouchitis is the most common complication in these patients, where up to 60% develop one episode of pouchitis in the first two years after UC surgery with IPAA with severe negative impact on their quality of life. Acute cases usually respond well to antibiotics, but 15% of patients will still develop a refractory disease that requires the initiation of advanced immunosuppressive therapies. For chronic idiopathic pouchitis, current recommendations suggest using the same therapeutic options as for IBD in terms of biologics and small molecules. However, the available data are limited regarding the effectiveness of different biologics or small molecules for the management of this condition, and all evidences arise from case series and small studies. Vedolizumab is the only biologic agent that has received approval for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active chronic refractory pouchitis. Despite the fact that IBD treatment is rapidly evolving with the development of novel molecules, the presence of pouchitis represents an exclusion criterion in these trials. Recommendations for the approach of these conditions range from low to very low certainty of evidence, resulting from small randomized controlled trials and case series studies. The current review focuses on the therapeutic management of idiopathic pouchitis.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is a treatment option for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis. Pouchitis is the most common complication, representing a spectrum of diseases ranging from acute antibiotic-responsive type to chronic antibiotic-refractory. Early accurate diagnosis using a combined assessment of symptoms, endoscopy and histology is important for both treatment and prognostication. Most patients respond well to antibiotic therapy; however, management of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis remains a challenge, and treatment options are based on small studies. Pouchitis is thought to be driven by the interaction between genetics, the immune system and the environment but as yet a causal relationship has yet to be identified. Further longitudinal assessment of the pouch integrating new technologies may help us understand the factors driving pouchitis. This review outlines the currently understood risk factors and aetiology of pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard of care after total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis (UC). Around 50% of patients will experience pouchitis, an idiopathic inflammatory condition. Antibiotics are the backbone of treatment of pouchitis; however, antibiotic-resistant pouchitis develops in 5-10% of those patients. It has been shown that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective treatment for UC, but results for FMT antibiotic-resistant pouchitis are inconsistent. METHODS To uncover which metabolic activities were transferred to the recipients during FMT and helped the remission, we performed a longitudinal case study of the gut metatranscriptomes from three patients and their donors. The patients were treated by two to three FMTs, and stool samples were analyzed for up to 140 days. RESULTS Reduced expression in pouchitis patients compared to healthy donors was observed for genes involved in biosynthesis of amino acids, cofactors, and B vitamins. An independent metatranscriptome dataset of UC patients showed a similar result. Other functions including biosynthesis of butyrate, metabolism of bile acids, and tryptophan were also much lower expressed in pouchitis. After FMT, these activities transiently increased, and the overall metatranscriptome profiles closely mirrored those of the respective donors with notable fluctuations during the subsequent weeks. The levels of the clinical marker fecal calprotectin were concordant with the metatranscriptome data. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii represented the most active species contributing to butyrate synthesis via the acetyl-CoA pathway. Remission occurred after the last FMT in all patients and was characterized by a microbiota activity profile distinct from donors in two of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates the clear but short-lived activity engraftment of donor microbiota, particularly the butyrate biosynthesis after each FMT. The data suggest that FMT triggers shifts in the activity of patient microbiota towards health which need to be repeated to reach critical thresholds. As a case study, these insights warrant cautious interpretation, and validation in larger cohorts is necessary for generalized applications. In the long run, probiotics with high taxonomic diversity consisting of well characterized strains could replace FMT to avoid the costly screening of donors and the risk of transferring unwanted genetic material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is the most common complication following restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a noninvasive indicator of the intestinal inflammatory status. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical value of the FC concentration for the diagnosis and risk assessment of pouchitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study involved patients who underwent IPAA for UC at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019. The patients were categorized into pouchitis and non-pouchitis groups based on their Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI) score. Laboratory indicators, including the FC concentration, were collected from both groups. RESULTS Sixty-six patients with UC after IPAA were included in the study and divided into the non-pouchitis group (n = 40) and pouchitis group (n = 26). The correlation coefficient between the FC concentration and the PDAI score was 0.651 (p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the FC cut-off value for predicting pouchitis was 579.60 μg/g (area under the curve, 0.938). The patients were then divided into three subgroups according to their PDAI score (0-2, 3-6, and ≥7), and significant differences in the FC concentration were found among the three subgroups. The best FC cut-off value for predicting a high risk of pouchitis (PDAI score of 3-6) was 143.25 μg/g (area under the curve, 0.876). CONCLUSIONS FC is a useful biomarker in patients with pouchitis. Patients are advised to regularly undergo FC measurement to monitor for pouchitis. An FC concentration in the range of 143.25-579.60 μg/g is predictive of a high risk for pouchitis, and further examination and preventive treatment are necessary in such patients.KEY MESSAGESFecal calprotectin can be used to quantify pouch inflammation.Fecal calprotectin can be used to predict a high risk of pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is a common complication of restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC), significantly affecting the postoperative quality of life. Paneth cells play an important role in the maintenance of gut homeostasis. This study aimed to investigate the role of Paneth cells in the pathogenesis of pouchitis. METHOD Endoscopic biopsies from the pouch body and terminal ileum of UC patients undergoing IPAA with or without pouchitis were obtained to analyze Paneth cell function. Acute pouchitis was induced with 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for seven consecutive days in a rat model of IPAA. The Paneth cell morphology was examined by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. The effect of exogenous lysozyme supplementation on pouchitis was also investigated. The fecal microbiota profile after DSS and lysozyme treatment was determined by 16s rRNA ITS2 sequence analysis. RESULT Abnormal mucosal lysozyme expression was observed in patients with pouchitis. The rat model of pouchitis showed increased pouch inflammation, increased CD3+ and CD45+ T cell infiltration, and decreased tight junction proteins, including ZO-1 and Occludin. There is a significant deficiency of Paneth cell-derived lysozyme granules in the rat model of pouchitis. Supplementation with exogenous lysozyme significantly ameliorated pouchitis, lowering the levels of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 in the pouch tissue. 16s rRNA analysis revealed a higher Lachnospiraceae level after lysosome treatment. CONCLUSIONS Paneth cell dysfunction is prominent in patients and rat models of pouchitis and may be one of its causes. The decrease in Lachnospiraceae, a characteristic of dysbiosis in pouchitis, could be reserved by lysosome treatment. Lysozyme supplementation shows promise as a novel treatment strategy for pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is the most frequent complication following restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis (RP-IPAA) in patients with Ulcerative colitis (UC). Pediatric data on nutritional status during RP-IPAA and in patients with pouchitis are limited. AIMS We aimed to delineate nutritional changes in children undergoing 2-stage and 3-stage surgeries and to evaluate the association between nutrition and the development of recurrent or chronic pouchitis. METHODS This single-center retrospective study involved 46 children with UC who underwent a RP-IPAA. Data were collected at each surgical stage and for up to 2-year post-ileostomy takedown. We used Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test to evaluate the differences in nutritional markers across surgical stages and logistic regression to identify the factors associated with recurrent or chronic pouchitis. RESULTS Twenty patients (43.5%) developed recurrent or chronic pouchitis. Children who underwent a 3-stage procedure had improvements in albumin, hematocrit, and body mass index (BMI)-for-age Z-scores (p < 0.01) between the first two stages. A positive trend in BMI-for-age Z-scores (p = 0.08) was identified in children with 2-stage procedures. All patients showed sustained nutritional improvement during the follow-up period. Among patients who underwent 3-stage surgeries, BMI worsened by 0.8 standard deviations (SDs) (p = 0.24) between the initial stages in those who developed recurrent or chronic pouchitis and improved by 1.1 SDs (p = 0.04) in those who did not. CONCLUSIONS Early improvement in BMI-for-age Z-scores following the initial stage was associated with lower rates of recurrent or chronic pouchitis. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the colon and rectum. Diet is an important part of UC management because it can either aggravate or alleviate symptoms along with medication therapy. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using multiple databases (PubMed and Online Wiley Library) and search engines (Google Scholar) using specific keywords related to UC and diet. The search resulted in a large number of articles, which were then narrowed down by focusing on clinical trials and randomized controlled trials published between 2010 and 2023. According to the research, certain dietary interventions, such as the low FODMAP diet, the Mediterranean diet, and the anti-inflammatory diet, appear to improve symptoms and overall quality of life. Dietary interventions have the potential to help with UC management. The goal should be to provide patients with tailored dietary interventions and other treatments to improve their quality of life. More research is needed to identify the most effective dietary interventions and better understand how they work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proctocolectomy with ileal reservoir is the surgical procedure of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate long-term postoperative complications (1994-2019) in patients operated for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis (UC) and the degree of satisfaction with the procedure. METHODS Observational study based on the analysis of a retrospective database with prospective follow-up in 115 consecutive patients: 79 with UC and 36 with FAP. A total of 88 patients were followed up, 60 with UC and 28 with PFA. RESULTS 48 males (54.4%) with a mean age of 44.8 ± 10.6 years were evaluated. Indications for surgery were intractable disease in 54 patients (47%), dysplasia/cancer in 43 (37%), severe bleeding in 4 (4%) and perforation in 3 (3%). A proctectomy and mucosectomy of the rectal stump was performed in 67 (76.1%), and a double stapling technique in 21. A protective ileostomy was performed in all patients with UC and FAP. No differences were found in early complications between the two groups. Late complications showed a higher rate of reservoritis in UC patients compared to FAP (44.9 vs. 14.3%, p = 0.001), with more refractory reservoritis in the UC group (13.3 vs. 0%, p = 0.04) with no differences in bowel obstruction, strictures, or anastomotic fistulas. Overall satisfaction and adaptation were considered good in 87% of UC patients and only 57% in the FAP group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Proctocolectomy with ileal reservoir has comparable morbidity and mortality, except for the higher rate of reservoritis in patients with a history of UC, despite this contingency there is a better quality of life and greater acceptance of surgery in UC patients than in FAP patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most common complication following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is pouchitis. AIMS We aimed to investigate whether a shorter period between pouch creation and restoration of fecal flow through an IPAA was associated with an increased risk of development of pouchitis within the first 2 years after IPAA. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study evaluating patients undergoing colectomy with IPAA for UC between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2016. We used Kaplan-Meier testing and Cox Proportional Hazards Modeling to evaluate the relationship between the time between restoration of fecal continuity and time to subsequent development of pouchitis, adjusting for other clinical and demographic factors. RESULTS We identified 624 patients who underwent proctocolectomy with IPAA for UC, of whom 246 (39%) developed pouchitis within the first 2 years after IPAA. There was no difference when comparing the median time to restoration of continuity among those patients who developed pouchitis and those who did not (49 days vs. 49 days, p = 0.85) or in multivariable analysis. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (Hazard Ratio [HR] 2.14, 95% CI 1.12-4.08), family history of inflammatory bowel disease (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.08-2.06), and delayed pouch creation (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.57-1.00) were significantly associated with time to development of pouchitis. CONCLUSION Although a staged approach to IPAA may have benefits in the surgical management of UC, the timing interval between pouch creation and restoration of continuity did not impact the subsequent development of early pouchitis in this cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is the most common long-term complication in patients requiring colectomy ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with medically refractory ulcerative colitis or colitis-associated neoplasia. A previous small case series suggests associated between portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and ischemic pouchitis. AIM To evaluate the association between PVT and other demographic and clinical factors and pouchitis. METHODS We used Explorys Inc., a population-based database, to search medical records between 1999 and 2020 with SNOMED-CT code criteria for "construction of pouch" and "ileal pouchitis." Patients with pouchitis were compared to those with previous pouch construction without pouchitis. Factors associated with pouchitis identified with univariable analysis were introduced into a multivariable model. A post hoc analysis further stratified demographical findings of the association between PVT and pouchitis. RESULTS We identified 7900 patients with ileal pouchitis (7.5%) and 97,510 with pouch construction without pouchitis. In multivariate binary logistic regression, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for the risk of pouchitis in patients with PVT was 10.78 (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.04-16.49, P < 0.001). Other significant factors associated with pouchitis included male gender (aOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.02-1.21, P = 0.018), deep vein thrombosis (aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.23-1.72, P < 0.001), and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.28-1.45, P < 0.001). Smoking was a protective factor (aOR 0.30, 95% CI 0.33-0.36, P < 0.001). Further sub-analysis showed a higher prevalence of younger patients with PVT and pouchitis. CONCLUSIONS We report PVT as an independent risk factor associated with pouchitis. Our findings support that PVT is a potentially manageable perioperative complication, and intervention may reduce the risk of pouchitis.

Prediction of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis using artificial intelligence and deep learning. Tech Coloproctol 2022; 26:471-478. [PMID: 35233723 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-022-02602-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is one of the major postoperative complications of ulcerative colitis (UC), and it is still difficult to predict the development of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in UC patients. In this study, we examined whether a deep learning (DL) model could predict the development of pouchitis. METHODS UC patients who underwent two-stage restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA at Keio University Hospital were included in this retrospective analysis. The modified pouchitis disease activity index (mPDAI) was evaluated by the clinical and endoscopic findings. Pouchitis was defined as an mPDAI ≥ 5.860; endoscopic pouch images before ileostomy closure were collected. A convolutional neural network was used as the DL model, and the prediction rates of pouchitis after ileostomy closure were evaluated by fivefold cross-validation. RESULTS A total of 43 patients were included (24 males and 19 females, mean age 39.2 ± 13.2 years). Pouchitis occurred in 14 (33%) patients after ileostomy closure. In less than half of the patients, mPDAI scores matched before and after ileostomy closure. Most of patients whose mPDAI scores did not match before and after ileostomy closure had worse mPDAI scores after than before. The prediction rate of pouchitis calculated by the area under the curve using the DL model was 84%. Conversely, the prediction rate of pouchitis using mPDAI before ileostomy closure was 62%. CONCLUSION The prediction rate of pouchitis using the DL model was more than 20% higher than that using mPDAI, suggesting the utility of the DL model as a prediction model for the development of pouchitis. It could also be used to determine early interventions for pouchitis.

Endoscopic Phenotype of the J Pouch in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A New Classification for Pouch Outcomes. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 20:293-302.e9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pouchitis is a common complication of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with ulcerative colitis who have undergone colectomy. Pouchitis has been considered a single entity despite a broad array of clinical and endoscopic patterns. We developed a novel classification system based on the pattern of inflammation observed in pouches and evaluated the contributing factors and prognosis of each phenotype. METHODS We identified 426 patients (384 with ulcerative colitis) treated with proctocolectomy and IPAA who subsequently underwent pouchoscopies at the University of Chicago between June 1997 and December 2019. We retrospectively reviewed 1359 pouchoscopies and classified them into 7 main pouch phenotypes: (1) normal, (2) afferent limb involvement, (3) inlet involvement, (4) diffuse, (5) focal inflammation of the pouch body, (6) cuffitis, and (7) pouch with fistulas noted 6 months after ileostomy takedown. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors contributing to each phenotype. Pouch survival was estimated by the log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Significant contributing factors for afferent limb involvement were a body mass index of 25 or higher and hand-sewn anastomosis, for inlet involvement the significant contributing factor was male sex; for diffuse inflammation the significant contributing factors were extensive colitis and preoperative use of anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs, for cuffitis the significant contributing factors were stapled anastomosis and preoperative Clostridioides difficile infection. Inlet stenosis, diffuse inflammation, and cuffitis significantly increased the risk of pouch excision. Diffuse inflammation was associated independently with pouch excision (hazard ratio, 2.69; 95% CI, 1.34-5.41; P = .005). CONCLUSIONS We describe 7 unique IPAA phenotypes with different contributing factors and outcomes, and propose a new classification system for pouch management and future interventional studies.

Advantages of total proctocolectomy with straight ileoanal anastomosis plus pedicled omental transposition for familial adenomatous polyposis: a preliminary study. World J Surg Oncol 2022; 20:20.

Abstract
Purpose To achieve excellent postoperative bowel function in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, it is important to reconstruct the digestive tract. The aim of this study is to preliminarily discuss the advantages of total proctocolectomy with straight ileoanal anastomosis (TPC-SIAA) plus pedicled omental transposition for FAP. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in two hospitals analysing data for FAP patients who underwent surgical treatments between 2015 and 2021. Perioperative outcomes and early and mid-term anal functions were analysed. Results After excluding 4 patients who underwent total proctocolectomy with permanent ileostomy, 10 patients were enrolled in the study. Among the 10 patients, 3 received TPC-SIAA plus pedicled omental transposition, 3 received total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TPC-IPAA), and 4 received total colectomy with ileal pouch-rectal anastomosis (TC-IPRA). Except for one case conversion to laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery was performed for the other cases. The incidence of early postoperative complications was apparently higher with pouch anastomosis (57.1%) than straight anastomosis (0%). Frequencies of bowel movement and low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) score were higher for TPC-SIAA than the other two surgical procedures in the early term; over time, however, the frequencies of bowel movement and LARS score both showed a decreasing trend. In addition, combined with anorectal pressure detection and magnetic resonance imaging defecography at the 3rd month after TPC-SIAA plus pedicled omental transposition, defecation coordination was good. The dynamics and receptivity of the new rectum tended to be as expected. Conclusion Although the three surgical procedures are safe and feasible surgical options for FAP, TPC-SIAA plus pedicled omental transposition is more consistent with intestinal physiology, with good intestinal compliance, and anal function tended to be as expected over time. Nevertheless, more extensive studies are needed to confirm these benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anti-α4β7 integrin antibody vedolizumab is an established therapeutic option for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It has also been successfully used in patients with chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis following proctocolectomey with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. However, the expression and function of gut-homing markers as well as strategies to predict the response to vedolizumab in pouchitis are understudied so far. METHODS We used flow cytometry and dynamic adhesion assays to study the expression and function of gut-homing integrins on T cells from patients with pouchitis and controls as well as longitudinally during therapy of pouchitis with vedolizumab. Moreover, we describe clinical effects of vedolizumab in a cohort of patients with pouchitis. RESULTS T cells from patients with pouchitis express a specific profile of gut-homing integrins. Integrin α4β7 on T cells from patients with pouchitis mediates adhesion to mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM)-1, which can be blocked by vedolizumab in vitro. Vedolizumab efficiently treats pouchitis in a portion of patients and response correlates with dynamic adhesion profiles to MAdCAM-1. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that T cell trafficking seems to be important for the pathogenesis of pouchitis and support the therapeutic use of vedolizumab. Integrin function might serve as a biomarker to predict response to vedolizumab.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to identify predictive factors for the development of chronic pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis. METHODS Three hundred eighty-seven patients who underwent ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for diagnosis of ulcerative colitis from January 2002 to March 2019 were included in this retrospective analysis. RESULTS Of 115 patients with pouchitis, 40 patients exhibited acute pouchitis, and 75 patients exhibited chronic pouchitis. Of 75 patients with chronic pouchitis, 11 patients were diagnosed with chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis. Multivariate analysis revealed that early pouchitis onset and modified Pouchitis Disease Activity Index score ≥ 7 were independent predictive factors for chronic pouchitis (p = 0.0004 and p = 0.029, respectively). Mean onset of pouchitis after intestinal continuity was significantly earlier in patients with chronic pouchitis than in patients with acute pouchitis (acute pouchitis vs. chronic pouchitis: 3.72 ± 2.98 years vs. 1.85 ± 2.40 years, p < 0.0001). Total modified Pouchitis Disease Activity Index score was significantly higher in patients with chronic pouchitis than in patients with acute pouchitis (acute pouchitis vs. chronic pouchitis: 5.9 ± 1.2 vs. 6.9 ± 1.6, p = 0.0020). CONCLUSION Patients with ulcerative colitis were more likely to develop chronic pouchitis if they exhibited early onset or severe disease activity at onset. Evaluation of both factors can aid in early treatment decisions to alleviate chronic pouchitis.

Abstract
Pouchitis is the most common complication in patients who have undergone restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). Up to 81% of IPAA patients experience pouchitis, with 40% of patients presenting within the first year of surgery. Common risk factors include genetic mutations, extensive colitis, rheumatologic disorders, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Currently, there are no medications with approved indications for pouchitis. As such, the conventional treatment of pouchitis is entirely off-label. This paper is intended to be a practical and up-to-date review of available therapies used for the management of pouchitis. The mainstay of treatment for acute pouchitis remains antibiotics, but newer therapeutics have also shown promise in the treatment of chronic pouchitis. Common lifestyle considerations that may play a role in pouchitis are also reviewed. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY Medical treatment of pouchitis: a guide for the clinician The ileal pouch-anal anastomosis ("pouch") is the most common way patients who require surgery to remove their colon are able to avoid a permanent ileostomy ("ostomy"). This pouch, created from the small intestines, serves as a reservoir to hold stool. The most common complication after pouch surgery is pouchitis. Pouchitis symptoms include more frequent bowel movements, urgency to defecate, blood in the stool, incontinence, and abdominal pain. This paper is intended to be a practical review of available therapies including medications and lifestyle changes that can be considered for the management of acute pouchitis, chronic pouchitis, and cuffitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is a common complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with ulcerative colitis. However, an ideal model remains lacking. Therefore, we aimed to establish an appropriate model resembling human pouchitis. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to five groups: TNBS group, DSS group, NS group (following IPAA procedure, administrated with TNBS enema, DSS orally, normal saline enema, respectively), NI group (underwent IPAA), and sham group (underwent switch abdominal surgery). General status, weight change, hematochezia, and fecal scores were recorded. Fecal microbiota were counted under a microscope and analyzed by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. Specimens of ileal pouch and small intestine (proximal, mid, distal) were collected to evaluate myeloperoxidase and occludin expression by immunohistochemistry and mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory markers by PCR. RESULTS General status, hematochezia, fecal score, and increased mRNA expression of interleukin-6 and TNF-α in the TNBS group were similar to those in the DSS group, whereas the TNBS-induced model displayed a more stable weight change and more serious dysbacteriosis, not only was fecal bacterial diversity reduced, the dominant microbiota was altered. Histopathology scores of the distal small intestine in the TNBS group were lower compared with those in the DSS group (P < 0.05). A significant difference in myeloperoxidase and occludin expression in the small intestine was also detected between the TNBS and DSS groups. CONCLUSIONS Our model mimicked the characteristics of human pouchitis and avoided potential side effects in the small intestine, and thus could be employed for further research.

Abstract
PURPOSE restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the surgical procedure of choice in some cases of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IPAA allows complete removal of the diseased colon and rectum, however, it is associated with substantial morbidity and potential consequences to patients' quality of life (QoL). AIMS to evaluate the surgical results, functional outcomes and QoL after IPAA; and to examine the impact of surgical complications upon QoL. METHODS we reviewed the records of 55 patients after IPAA, with emphasis on surgical outcomes. Forty patients answered the questionnaires. The Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL), Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), and Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF36). RESULTS the average age was 42.1±14.1 years. 63.6% of the patients were male, and 69.1% had FAP. Operative mortality was 1.8% and overall morbidity was 76.4%. Anastomotic leakage was the most frequent early complication (34.5%). Pouchitis (10.8%) and small bowel obstruction (9.1%) were the most common late complications. Patients with UC had the most severe complications (p=0.014). Pelvic complications did not have a negative effect on functional outcomes or QoL scores. Female patients had decreased pouch evacuation frequency, fewer nocturnal bowel movements, decreased bowel symptom impact on QoL (p=0.012), and better CGQL (p=0.04). Patients with better education had better QoL scores, and patients who had their pouches for more than five years scored lower. CONCLUSION the high morbidity has no impact on function or QoL. Bowel function is generally acceptable. QoL is good and affected by sex, education and time interval since IPAA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personalized medicine requires finding relationships between variables that influence a patient's phenotype and predicting an outcome. Sparse generalized canonical correlation analysis identifies relationships between different groups of variables. This method requires establishing a model of the expected interaction between those variables. Describing these interactions is challenging when the relationship is unknown or when there is no pre-established hypothesis. Thus, our aim was to develop a method to find the relationships between microbiome and host transcriptome data and the relevant clinical variables in a complex disease, such as Crohn's disease. RESULTS We present here a method to identify interactions based on canonical correlation analysis. We show that the model is the most important factor to identify relationships between blocks using a dataset of Crohn's disease patients with longitudinal sampling. First the analysis was tested in two previously published datasets: a glioma and a Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis dataset where we describe how to select the optimum parameters. Using such parameters, we analyzed our Crohn's disease data set. We selected the model with the highest inner average variance explained to identify relationships between transcriptome, gut microbiome and clinically relevant variables. Adding the clinically relevant variables improved the average variance explained by the model compared to multiple co-inertia analysis. CONCLUSIONS The methodology described herein provides a general framework for identifying interactions between sets of omic data and clinically relevant variables. Following this method, we found genes and microorganisms that were related to each other independently of the model, while others were specific to the model used. Thus, model selection proved crucial to finding the existing relationships in multi-omics datasets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the interaction between gut microbiota and pouchitis after ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC) has been confirmed, evidence of commensal mycobiota in the etiology of pouchitis is still lacking. This study aimed to investigate the role of fungi in the pathogenesis of pouchitis. METHODS Fecal samples were collected from UC patients with or without pouchitis after IPAA. Experimental pouchitis was induced by 5% dextran sulfate sodium for 7 consecutive days in a rat model of IPAA. Fungal dysbiosis was induced by 0.5% fluconazole (Flu), and commensal fungal recognition through dectin-1 was blocked by 5% laminarin. Fecal fungal composition was analyzed using internal transcribed spacer 2 sequencing. Severity of pouchitis and activation of the CARD9-nuclear factor kappa-B pathway was determined among different groups. RESULTS Patients with pouchitis had a lower alpha (α) diversity in mycobiota composition and a higher abundance of Saccharomyces at the genus level compared with those with a normal pouch. In the rat model of pouchitis, Flu treatment decreased fungal burden but induced fungal dysbiosis, characterized by increased α diversity, a decreased relative abundance of Kazachstania, and increased Polythrincium and Saccharomyces. In addition, Flu treatment worsened dextran sulfate sodium pouchitis, as indicated by increased mortality, weight loss, higher histological score, and CD4+ cell infiltration. Laminarin also increased the severity of pouchitis. In the Flu and laminarin groups, the expression of interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, CARD9, and phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa-B inhibitor alpha was decreased. CONCLUSIONS Patients with pouchitis had altered fungal composition. Fungal dysbiosis or recognition deficiency by the host may exacerbate experimental pouchitis. Strategies targeting commensal mycobiota may provide therapeutic potential against pouchitis, especially for antibiotic-refractory patients.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occasionally need a restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) because of medically refractory colitis or dysplasia/cancer. However, pouchitis may develop in up to 70% of patients after this procedure and significantly impair quality of life, more so if the inflammation becomes a chronic condition. About 10% of patients with IBD who develop pouchitis require pouch excision, and several risk factors of the failure have been reported. A phenotype that has features similar to Crohn’s disease may develop in a subset of ulcerative colitis patients following proctocolectomy with IPAA and is the most frequent reason for pouch failure. In this review, we discuss the diagnosis and prognosis of pouchitis, risk factors for pouchitis development, and treatment options for pouchitis, including the newer biological agents.

Abstract
The objective was to determine the bacterial composition in inflamed and non-inflamed pouches for comparison to the microbiota of healthy individuals. Pouch patients and healthy individuals were included between November 2017 and June 2019 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Aalborg University Hospital, Denmark. A faecal sample was collected from all participants for microbiota analysis using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Overall, 38 participants were included in the study. Eleven patients with a normally functioning pouch, 9 patients with chronic pouchitis, 6 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis, and 12 healthy individuals. Patients with chronic pouchitis had overall lower microbial diversity and richness compared to patients with a normal pouch function (p < 0.001 and p = 0.009) and healthy individuals (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001). No significant difference was found between patients with familial adenomatous polyposis and chronic pouchitis (microbial diversity p = 0.39 and richness p = 0.78). Several taxa from the family Enterobacteriaceae, especially genus Escherichia, were associated primarily with patients with chronic pouchitis, while taxa from the genus Bacteroides primarily were associated with healthy individuals and patients with a normally functioning pouch. Finally, a microbial composition gradient could be established from healthy individuals through patients with normal pouch function and familial adenomatous polyposis to patients with chronic pouchitis.

Abstract
The objective was to evaluate available literature on treatment of chronic pouchitis with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) focusing on clinical outcomes, safety, and different approaches to FMT preparation and delivery. A systematic review of electronic databases was conducted using Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Library from inception through April 2020. Human studies of all study types reporting results of FMT to treat chronic pouchitis were included. Nine studies, reporting FMT treatment of 69 patients with chronic pouchitis were found eligible for the review. Most studies were case series and cohort studies rated as having fair to poor quality due to high risk of bias and small sample size. Only one randomized controlled trial was included, finding no beneficial effect of FMT. In total clinical response after FMT was reported in 14 (31.8%) out of 44 evaluated patients at various timepoints after FMT, and clinical remission in ten (22.7%) patients. Only minor self-limiting adverse events were reported. FMT varied greatly regarding preparation, length of treatment, and route of delivery. The effects of FMT on symptoms of chronic pouchitis are not established, though some studies show promising results. Future controlled well-designed studies are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Proctitis after subtotal colectomy with ileostomy for ulcerative colitis [UC] is common, but its impact on short- and long-term outcome after pouch surgery is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of proctitis after subtotal colectomy and its impact on postoperative morbidity and pouchitis. METHODS The distal margin of the rectal stump of all consecutive patients undergoing completion proctectomy and pouch procedure for UC, between 1999 and 2017, was revised and scored for active inflammation according to the validated Geboes score, and for diversion proctitis. Pathological findings were correlated to complications after pouch surgery and pouchitis [including therapy-refractory] using multivariate analyses. RESULTS Out of 204 included patients, 167 [82%] had active inflammation in the rectal stump and diversion colitis was found in 170 specimens [83%]. Overall postoperative complications and anastomotic leakage rates were not significantly different between patients with and without active inflammation in the rectal stump [34.7% vs 32.4%, p = 0.79, and 10.2% vs 5.4%, p = 0.54, respectively]. Active inflammation of the rectal stump was significantly associated with the development of pouchitis [54.3% vs 25.5%, plog = 0.02], as well as with therapy refractory pouchitis [14% vs 0%, plog = 0.05]. Following multivariate analysis, active inflammation was an independent predictor for the development of pouchitis. Diversion proctitis showed no association with these outcome parameters. CONCLUSIONS Active inflammation in the rectal stump after subtotal colectomy occurs in 80% of UC patients and is a predictor for the development of pouchitis and therapy-refractory pouchitis.

Abstract
Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical procedure of choice for patients with medically-refractory ulcerative colitis or ulcerative colitis with associated dysplasia. Although most patients after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis experience good functional outcomes, a number of complications may develop. Of the long-term complications, pouchitis is most common. Although most respond to antibiotic treatment, some patients develop chronic pouchitis, leading to substantial morbidity and occasionally pouch failure. In patients with pouchitis who are not responsive to conventional antimicrobial therapy, secondary causes of chronic pouchitis need to be considered, including Crohn's disease of the pouch. In recent years, more literature has become available regarding the medical management of chronic pouchitis and Crohn's disease of the pouch, including the use of newer biologic agents. We herein provide a concise review on inflammatory complications involving the ileal pouch, including a focused approach to diagnosis and medical management.

Abstract
Background Although the etiology of pouchitis remains unknown, inflammatory cytokines are significantly associated with the pathogenesis of pouchitis. The cytokine responses that characterize inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are key pathogenic components of the disease. Although cytokine profiles in the colonic mucosa have been investigated in experimental colitis models or IBD patients, cytokine profiles in the ileal mucosa at colectomy have been rarely assessed. Aim To assess the relationship between pouchitis and T helper (Th) cytokines in the ileal mucosa collected at the time of colectomy and pouch construction. Methods This retrospective study involved 68 consecutive patients from January 2004 to May 2011 who underwent ileal pouch–anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Samples were obtained from the terminal ileum of resected specimens at time of total colectomy or subtotal colectomy. mRNA expression levels of Th cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-23A, IL-5, IL-13 and IL-17A) were determined. Results Forty of 68 patients (58.8%) developed pouchitis. There was no association between IL-23A expression levels and incidence of pouchitis (p = 0.301). Patients with elevated IFN-γ had a significantly higher incidence of pouchitis compared with low IFN-γ patients (p = 0.043). Univariate analysis demonstrated a total dose of prednisolone > 7000 mg administered before colectomy (p = 0.04) and high IFN-γ expression (p = 0.02) were significant risk factors for pouchitis onset. In multivariate analysis, elevated IFN-γ messenger(m)RNA levels were significantly associated with pouchitis onset (p = 0.03). Conclusion IFN-γ expression in the normal ileal mucosa at the time of colectomy may be an important factor in the pathophysiology of pouchitis.

Abstract
Low diversity intestinal dysbiosis has been associated with inflammatory bowel disease, including patients with ulcerative colitis with an ileo-anal pouch anastomosis. Furthermore, specific Escherichia coli phylogroups have been linked to inflammatory bowel disease. Our aim was to characterize the differences among microbiota and E. coli phylogroups in active and inactive pouchitis. Disease activity was assessed using the modified pouch disease activity index and by fecal calprotectin. Microbiota diversity was assessed by 16S rDNA MiSeq sequencing. E. coli phylogroup was determined after triplex PCR. Twenty patients with ulcerative colitis with an ileo-anal pouch anastomosis were included, 10 of whom had active pouchitis. Ileo-anal pouch anastomosis patients had an increased abundance of Proteobacteria colonization compared to patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease and healthy controls, p = 1.4·10-5. No differences in E. coli phylogroup colonization could be determined between cases of active and inactive disease. No significant link was found between α-diversity and pouch inflammation. However, higher levels of Fusobacteria colonization were found in patients with a pouch with a fecal calprotectin level above 500, p = 0.02. In conclusion, patients with a pouch had an increased Proteobacteria abundance, but only Fusobacteria abundance was linked to inflammation.

Abstract
Despite advances in therapeutic options, a sizeable proportion of patients with inflammatory bowel disease require hospitalization or surgery during their lifetime. While current treatment guidelines for the management of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease cover the spectrum of disease severity and behavior, management of acute complications of inflammatory bowel disease can present unique challenges that are not always addressed in these guidelines. In this review, the authors provide a comprehensive summary of the existing literature focused on management of patients hospitalized with complications of inflammatory bowel disease. Proposed management algorithms are provided to guide clinicians through common scenarios to determine the most appropriate interventions - escalation of medical therapies, non-surgical therapeutic interventions (drainage of intra-abdominal abscess or endoscopic balloon dilation) or surgery. Prevention of complications is proposed through a multi-disciplinary approach that involves surgeons, dieticians, radiologists, pathologists and infectious disease consultants.

Abstract
Objectives: Research evidence suggests that chronic pouchitis is associated with intestinal dysbiosis. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been proposed as a possible treatment. We performed a 6-month prospective, open-label, single-centre cohort pilot-study (NCT03538366) to investigate if FMT could improve clinical outcome and alter gut microbiota in patients with chronic pouchitis.Materials and methods: Nine adult patients with chronic pouchitis were included and allocated to 14 days FMT by enemas from five faecal donors, with a 6-month follow-up. Pouchitis severity was assessed using pouchitis disease activity index (PDAI) before and after FMT. Changes in gut microbiota, and engraftment of donor's microbiota were assessed in faecal samples.Results: All patients were treated with FMT for 14 continuous days. Overall, four of nine patients receiving FMT were in clinical remission at 30-day follow-up, and three patients remained in remission until 6-month follow-up. Clinical symptoms of pouchitis improved significantly between inclusion and 14-day follow-up (p = .02), but there was no improvement in PDAI between inclusion (mean 8.6) and 30-day follow-up (mean 5.2). Treatment with FMT caused a substantial shift in microbiota and increased microbial diversity in six patients, resembling that of the donors, with a high engraftment of specific donor microbiota.Conclusions: Symptomatic benefit in FMT treatment was found for four of nine patients with chronic pouchitis with increased microbial diversity and high engraftment of donor's microbiota. A larger, randomised controlled study is required to fully evaluate the potential role of FMT in treating chronic pouchitis.

Abstract
Diagnosis of the inflammatory bowel diseases ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) relies mainly on the histopathological examination of endoscopic biopsies of the gastrointestinal tract. To facilitate the accurate diagnosis of these two conditions, this paper addresses key issues on the: (A) gastrointestinal biopsy procedure, (B) histomorphological characteristics of UC and CD, and (C) diagnosis of dysplasia. The 13 statements presented here represent the consensus of two groups of Italian pathologists (IG-IBD and GIPAD).

Dysbiosis-Induced Secondary Bile Acid Deficiency Promotes Intestinal Inflammation. Cell Host Microbe 2020; 27:659-670.e5.

Abstract
Secondary bile acids (SBAs) are derived from primary bile acids (PBAs) in a process reliant on biosynthetic capabilities possessed by few microbes. To evaluate the role of BAs in intestinal inflammation, we performed metabolomic, microbiome, metagenomic, and transcriptomic profiling of stool from ileal pouches (surgically created resevoirs) in colectomy-treated patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) versus controls (familial adenomatous polyposis [FAP]). We show that relative to FAP, UC pouches have reduced levels of lithocholic acid and deoxycholic acid (normally the most abundant gut SBAs), genes required to convert PBAs to SBAs, and Ruminococcaceae (one of few taxa known to include SBA-producing bacteria). In three murine colitis models, SBA supplementation reduces intestinal inflammation. This anti-inflammatory effect is in part dependent on the TGR5 bile acid receptor. These data suggest that dysbiosis induces SBA deficiency in inflammatory-prone UC patients, which promotes a pro-inflammatory state within the intestine that may be treated by SBA restoration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sanhuangshu'ai decoction (SH), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, has been safely used to treat diarrhea, dysentery and other inflammatory diseases with little side effect and low cost for thousands of years. However, its mechanism remains elusive. This study was designed to investigate the anti-ulcerative colitis (UC) activity of SH and mechanism by detecting its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and intervention effects of intestinal flora with the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mice. METHODS The DSS-induced colitis mice was orally administered SH for 1 week with 0.8 or 1.6 g kg-1 d-1 dosage. A clinical disease activity score was evaluated daily. The colonic tissues of the mice were collected and prepared to detect its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, intervention effects of intestinal flora and hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) in vivo, cytotoxicity and ROS influencing effects in vitro. Histological colitis severity and expression of cytokines were also determined. RESULTS Oral administration of SH significantly prevented the development of colitis. It reduced the expression of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the colon. Moreover, SH administration alleviated the oxidative stress in the colon of DSS-induced colitis mice, evidenced by the decrease of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and increase of ROS level. Furthermore, SH can prevent the decrease ofLactobacillus sp. and population abundance of intestinal flora caused by DSS. CONCLUSION SH significantly ameliorates the symptoms of DSS-induced colitis mice and the potential mechanism of SH may involve in multiple kinds of metabolic pathway including the regulation of gut microbiota, inflammatory mediators and cytokines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is the most frequent complication after IPAA in patients with ulcerative colitis. Antibiotics represent the mainstay of treatment, suggesting a crucial role of dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of this condition. Anti-tumor necrosis factor agents have been shown to adversely impact the gut microbiome and local host immunity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the effect of prior exposure to biologics on the development of pouchitis in patients who have ulcerative colitis. DESIGN This is a retrospective case-control study. SETTINGS This study was conducted at a tertiary-care IBD center. PATIENTS Consecutive patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent restorative proctocolectomy between 2000 and 2010 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measured was the incidence of pouchitis. RESULTS Four hundred seventeen patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent IPAA were included. The incidence of pouchitis was 40.4%. There were no differences in patient demographics, disease-specific factors, surgical approach, and short-term postoperative complications between patients who developed pouchitis compared to those that did not. Patients exposed to anti-tumor necrosis factor agents or preoperative steroids were significantly more likely to develop pouchitis (anti-tumor necrosis factor: 47.9% vs 36.5%, p = 0.027; steroids: 41.7% vs 23.3%, p = 0.048). However, on multivariable analysis, only anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy was an independent predictor for pouchitis (p = 0.05). Pouchitis was not associated with adverse long-term outcomes. LIMITATIONS The retrospective design was a limitation of this study. CONCLUSION In a large cohort of patients undergoing IPAA for ulcerative colitis with at least a 5-year follow-up, anti-tumor necrosis factor exposure was the only independent risk factor for the development of pouchitis. These agents may "precondition" the pouch to develop pouchitis through alterations in the microbiome and/or local host immunity of the terminal ileum.

La incidencia de pouchitis fue del 40.4%. No hubo diferencias en la demografía del paciente, los factores específicos de la enfermedad, el abordaje quirúrgico y las complicaciones postoperatorias a corto plazo entre los pacientes que desarrollaron pouchitis en comparación con los que no lo hicieron. Los pacientes expuestos a agentes anti-TNF o esteroides preoperatorios fueron significativamente más propensos a desarrollar pouchitis (anti-TNF: 47.9% vs 36.5%, p = 0.027; esteroides: 41.7% vs 23.3%, p = 0.048). Sin embargo, en el análisis multivariable, solo la terapia anti-TNF fue un predictor independiente para la pouchitis (p = 0.05). La pouchitis no se asoció con resultados adversos a largo plazo.Diseño retrospectivo.En una gran cohorte de pacientes sometidos a anastomosis anal de bolsa ileal para la colitis ulcerosa con al menos 5 años de seguimiento, la exposición a terapía anti-TNF fue el único factor de riesgo independiente para el desarrollo de pouchitis. Estos agentes pueden "precondicionar" la bolsa para desarrollar una pouchitis a través de alteraciones en el microbioma y / o inmunidad local del huésped del íleon terminal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The predictive factors for chronic pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in pediatric-onset ulcerative colitis (UC) remain unclear. This study evaluated the predictive factors for chronic pouchitis after IPAA in patients with pediatric UC. METHODS The data from 52 patients with pediatric-onset UC who underwent IPAA in Mie University Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The endoscopy surveillance was performed yearly or at the timing of the symptom. Chronic pouchitis was defined as antibiotic-dependent/-refractory and relapsing cases. Potential predictors of chronic pouchitis were analyzed. RESULTS During the first 5 years after IPAA, pouchitis was identified in 32.7%. Of these patients, 12 (70.6%) developed chronic pouchitis. The predictor of chronic pouchitis was a preoperative history of immunomodulator use before IPAA (p = 0.04). Life table analysis revealed that patients with chronic pouchitis tended to develop pouchitis earlier after IPAA than did patients without chronic pouchitis (p = 0.012). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the occurrence of pouchitis within 15 months after IPAA surgery predicted the development of chronic pouchitis (sensitivity, 92%; specificity, 80%). CONCLUSION In pediatric patients with UC, the predictive factors for chronic pouchitis are immunomodulator use and early occurrence of the first episode of pouchitis within 15 months after IPAA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pouchitis is the most common complication in Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (RP-IPAA) and ischemia may be a significant contributing factor. Tension and blood supply are the primary concerns while performing the procedure. A dual arterial blood supply technique is designed to decrease tension while ensuring sufficient blood perfusion. PATIENT CONCERNS A 61-year-old female patient with 14 years history of UC wanted to seek surgical treatment. DIAGNOSES Ulcerative colitis. INTERVENTIONS After physical examination and treatment of parenteral nutrition, the patient underwent a D-pouch with dual arterial blood supply after total proctocoloectomy. OUTCOMES The patient recovered well and was discharged 10 days after her procedure. Postoperatively dual arterial blood supply to the D-pouch was demonstrated by computed tomography angiography (CTA). CONCLUSION D-pouch with dual arterial blood supply is feasible and safe in patients with UC undergoing RP-IPAA.

[PMID: 31463422 PMCID: PMC6706792 DOI: 10.1002/bjs5.50149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2018] [Accepted: 01/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The presence of extraintestinal manifestations may be associated with the development of pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis after ileal pouch–anal anastomosis. The aim of this study was to assess this correlation. Methods A systematic literature search was performed using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library. Studies published in English up to 22 May 2017 investigating the association between extraintestinal manifestations and development of pouchitis in adults with ulcerative colitis were included. Case reports were excluded. The association of extraintestinal manifestations with the development of overall and chronic pouchitis was investigated using a random‐effects model. Results Of 1010 citations identified, 22 observational studies comprising 5128 patients were selected for analysis. The presence of extraintestinal manifestations was significantly associated with both chronic pouchitis (odds ratio 2·28, 95 per cent c.i. 1·57 to 3·32; P = 0·001) and overall pouchitis (odds ratio 1·96, 1·49 to 2·57; P < 0·001). Conclusion The presence of extraintestinal manifestations is associated with development of pouchitis after ileal pouch–anal anastomosis.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disorder of the colon that causes continuous mucosal inflammation extending from the rectum to the more proximal colon, with variable extents. UC is characterized by a relapsing and remitting course. UC was first described by Samuel Wilks in 1859 and it is more common than Crohn's disease worldwide. The overall incidence and prevalence of UC is reported to be 1.2-20.3 and 7.6-245 cases per 100,000 persons/year respectively. UC has a bimodal age distribution with an incidence peak in the 2nd or 3rd decades and followed by second peak between 50 and 80 years of age. The key risk factors for UC include genetics, environmental factors, autoimmunity and gut microbiota. The classic presentation of UC include bloody diarrhea with or without mucus, rectal urgency, tenesmus, and variable degrees of abdominal pain that is often relieved by defecation. UC is diagnosed based on the combination of clinical presentation, endoscopic findings, histology, and the absence of alternative diagnoses. In addition to confirming the diagnosis of UC, it is also important to define the extent and severity of inflammation, which aids in the selection of appropriate treatment and for predicting the patient's prognosis. Ileocolonoscopy with biopsy is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis of UC. A pathognomonic finding of UC is the presence of continuous colonic inflammation characterized by erythema, loss of normal vascular pattern, granularity, erosions, friability, bleeding, and ulcerations, with distinct demarcation between inflamed and non-inflamed bowel. Histopathology is the definitive tool in diagnosing UC, assessing the disease severity and identifying intraepithelial neoplasia (dysplasia) or cancer. The classical histological changes in UC include decreased crypt density, crypt architectural distortion, irregular mucosal surface and heavy diffuse transmucosal inflammation, in the absence of genuine granulomas. Abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scanning is the preferred initial radiographic imaging study in UC patients with acute abdominal symptoms. The hallmark CT finding of UC is mural thickening with a mean wall thickness of 8 mm, as opposed to a 2-3 mm mean wall thickness of the normal colon. The Mayo scoring system is a commonly used index to assess disease severity and monitor patients during therapy. The goals of treatment in UC are three fold-improve quality of life, achieve steroid free remission and minimize the risk of cancer. The choice of treatment depends on disease extent, severity and the course of the disease. For proctitis, topical 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) drugs are used as the first line agents. UC patients with more extensive or severe disease should be treated with a combination of oral and topical 5-ASA drugs +/- corticosteroids to induce remission. Patients with severe UC need to be hospitalized for treatment. The options in these patients include intravenous steroids and if refractory, calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine, tacrolimus) or tumor necrosis factor-α antibodies (infliximab) are utilized. Once remission is induced, patients are then continued on appropriate medications to maintain remission. Indications for emergency surgery include refractory toxic megacolon, colonic perforation, or severe colorectal bleeding.

Reliability among central readers in the evaluation of endoscopic disease activity in pouchitis. Gastrointest Endosc 2018; 88:360-369.e2. [PMID: 29660321 DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2018.04.2330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2018] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pouchitis is a common adverse event after proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Evaluation of pouchitis disease activity and response to treatment requires use of validated indices. We assessed the reliability of items evaluating endoscopic pouchitis disease activity. METHODS Twelve panelists used a modified RAND appropriateness methodology to rate the appropriateness of items evaluating endoscopic pouchitis disease activity derived from a systematic review and also identified additional potential endoscopic items based on expert opinion. Four central readers then evaluated 50 pouchoscopy videos in triplicate, in random order. Intra- and inter-rater reliability for each item was assessed by calculating and comparing intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). A Delphi process identified common sources of disagreement among the readers. RESULTS Ten existing endoscopic items were identified from the systematic review and an additional 7 exploratory items from the panelists. ICCs for inter-rater reliability were highest for the existing item of pouch ulceration (.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], .60-.82) and for the exploratory item of ulcerated surface in the pouch body (.67; 95% CI, .53-.75). Inter-rater reliability for all other existing and exploratory items was "moderate" (ICC < .60). The item "ulcerated surface in the pouch body" demonstrated the best correlation with a global evaluation of lesion severity (r = .80; 95% CI, .73-.85). CONCLUSION Substantial reliability was observed only for the endoscopic items of ulceration and ulcerated surface in the pouch body. Future studies should assess responsiveness to treatment in the next stage toward development of an endoscopic pouchitis disease activity index.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the preferred surgical treatment for patients undergoing colectomy to maintain intestinal continuity. Earlier studies have suggested that outcomes are worse in elderly patients who underwent IPAA. However, more recent reports have shown that IPAA outcomes in the elderly are comparable to younger patients. We review the recent medical literature regarding outcomes and treatments for common complications in elderly IPAA patients. RECENT FINDINGS Compared to younger patients, IPAA in the elderly is not associated with increased major surgical complications, but is associated with increased length of stay and re-admission rate for dehydration in older patients. Rates of fecal incontinence after IPAA were similar between younger and older patients. Sacral nerve stimulation has shown early promise as a possible treatment for fecal incontinence after IPAA, but more research is needed. Pouchitis is a common complication, and antibiotics remain first-line treatment options. Other treatment options include mesalamines, steroids, immunomodulators, and biologics. The efficacy of newer biologics such as vedolizumab and ustekinumab has been reported, but more data is needed. IPAA is safe in the elderly with high self-reported patient satisfaction. However, the elderly IPAA patient warrants special consideration regarding outcomes and management.

Abstract
The management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been transformed over the last two decades by the arrival of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist agents. Recently, alternative drugs have been approved, directed at leukocyte-trafficking molecules (vedolizumab) or other inflammatory cytokines (ustekinumab). New therapeutics are currently being developed in IBD and represent promising targets as they involve other mechanisms of action (JAK molecules, Smad 7 antisense oligonucleotide etc.). Beyond TNF antagonist agents, these alternative drugs are needed for early-stage treatment of patients with aggressive IBD or when the disease is resistant to conventional therapy. Personalized medicine involves the determination of patients with a high risk of progression and complications, and better characterization of patients who may respond preferentially to specific therapies. Indeed, more and more studies aim to identify factors predictive of drug response (corresponding to a specific signaling pathway) that could better manage treatment for patients with IBD. Once treatment has started, disease monitoring is essential and remote patient care could in some circumstances be an attractive option. Telemedicine improves medical adherence and quality of life, and has a positive impact on health outcomes of patients with IBD. This review discusses the current application of personalized medicine to the management of patients with IBD and the advantages and limits of telemedicine in IBD.
