Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are inflammatory diseases with a flare-up evolution and an unknown etiology. Inflammatory lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract are more and more often described in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The aim of this article was to review the inflammatory lesions of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum currently described in the IBD.

Abstract
Eosinophilic infiltration is sometimes observed histologically in ulcerative colitis (UC), but the effect of the degree of infiltration on the treatment course for UC is not completely understood. We investigated whether short-term steroid administration in UC patients refractory to maintenance therapy, with high eosinophilic infiltration in the colonic mucosa, contributed to the clinical and endoscopic improvement. Ten patients with endoscopically active and pathologically high eosinophilic infiltration, based on pathological examination using endoscopic biopsy, were examined for the clinical background when starting steroid treatment. The clinical and endoscopic improvement before and after steroid use were assessed prospectively. The average initial steroid dosage and duration of use were 21.0 mg and 102.7 days, respectively. The mean values before and after steroid use of the clinical activity index, the Mayo endoscopic subscore, and the UC endoscopic index of severity were 2.4 and 1.0, 1.8 and 0.7, and 3.9 and 1.1, respectively. All scores improved significantly after steroid use (P = .042, P = .002, P = .002, respectively). Steroids were discontinued in all patients; no patients required steroid re-administration. There may be cases of UC with eosinophilic infiltration into the colonic mucosa and resistance to maintenance treatment, suggesting that short-term steroid administration may contribute to clinical and endoscopic improvements.

Clin J Gastroenterol 2021; 14:511-516.

Abstract
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is a chronic allergic disorder characterized by infiltration of eosinophils in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and hypereosinophilia. Although T helper type 2 (Th2) responses play pathogenic roles in EGE, roles of innate immunity cytokines including IL-6 and TNF-α have been poorly defined. Here, we describe a case of EGE exhibiting accumulation of eosinophils in the upper GI mucosa and hypereosinophilia. Induction of remission by prednisolone reduced expression levels not only of Th2 cytokines but also of IL-6 and TNF-α in the GI mucosa. Moreover, induction of remission was accompanied by a marked reduction in serum levels of chemokine C-C motif ligand 17 (CCL17, TARC), IL-6 and TNF-α, implicating that both Th2 and innate immune responses were involved in the development of EGE in this case. Collectively, this case suggests possible involvement of IL-6 and TNF-α in the development of EGE.
