Su Q, Li J, Lu Y, Wu M, Liang J, An Z. Anorexia and bulimia in relation to ulcerative colitis: a Mendelian randomization study. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1400713. [PMID: 39050133 PMCID: PMC11268101 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1400713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Evidence for anorexia and bulimia in relation to the risk of ulcerative colitis (UC) is limited and inconsistent. The objective of this research was to utilize bi-directional, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to predict the causal association between anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa with UC. Methods The genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provided data for anorexia and bulimia from the UK Biobank, utilizing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) as instrumental variables. Additionally, genetic associations with UC were collected from various sources including the FinnGen Biobank, the UK Biobank and the International Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IIBDGC). The main analytical approach utilized in this study was the inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) method. To evaluate horizontal pleiotropy, the researchers conducted MR-Egger regression and MR-PRESSO global test analyses. Additionally, heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran's Q test. Results This study found a negative association between genetically predicted bulimia (OR = 0.943, 95% CI: 0.893-0.996; p = 0.034) and the risk of UC in the IIBDGC dataset, indicating that individuals with bulimia have approximately a 5.7% lower risk of developing UC. No association was observed in the other two datasets. Conversely, genetically predicted anorexia was not found to be causally associated with UC. In bi-directional Mendelian randomization, UC from the IIBDGC dataset was negatively associated with the risk of anorexia (OR = 0.877, 95% CI: 0.797-0.965; p = 0.007), suggesting that UC patients have approximately a 12.3% lower risk of developing anorexia, but not causally associated with bulimia. Conclusion Genetically predicted bulimia may have a negative association with the onset of UC, while genetically predicted anorexia does not show a causal relationship with the development of UC. Conversely, genetically predicted UC may have a negative association with the development of anorexia.

Trends in hospital admissions and mortality among inflammatory bowel disease patients with substance use disorder: a 10-year United States nationwide analysis. Proc AMIA Symp 2023; 36:427-433. [PMID: 37334096 PMCID: PMC10269429 DOI: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2204535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and substance use disorder (SUD) may have worse clinical outcomes. However, data specific to the hospital admission and mortality rates among IBD patients with SUD are scarce. Our objective was to assess trends in admission, healthcare expenses, and mortality for IBD patients with SUD. Methods We conducted a retrospective study using the National Inpatient Sample database to analyze SUD (alcohol, opioids, cocaine, and cannabis) among IBD hospitalizations from 2009 to 2019. Results A total of 132,894 hospitalizations for IBD had a secondary diagnosis of SUD. Of these patients, 75,172 (57%) were men and 57,696 (43%) were women. The IBD-SUD cohort had a longer length of stay than the non-SUD cohort (P < 0.001). The mean inpatient charges for IBD hospitalizations with SUD increased from $48,699 ± $1374 in 2009 to $62,672 ± $1528 in 2019 (P < 0.001). We found a 159.5% increase in IBD hospitalizations with SUD. The hospitalization rate increased from 3492 per 100,000 IBD hospitalizations in 2009 to 9063 per 100,000 in 2019 (P < 0.001). In-hospital mortality for IBD hospitalizations with SUD increased by 129.6% (from 250 deaths per 100,000 IBD hospitalizations in 2009 to 574 deaths per 100,000 IBD hospitalizations in 2019) (P < 0.001). Conclusions Over the last decade, there has been a rise in IBD hospitalizations with SUD. This has resulted in a longer length of stay, higher inpatient charges, and higher mortality rates. Identifying IBD patients potentially at risk for SUD by screening for anxiety, depression, pain, or other factors has become crucial.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15041102. [PMID: 36831446 PMCID: PMC9954537 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15041102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a category of autoimmune diseases that targets the destruction of the gastrointestinal system and includes both Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Patients with IBD are at a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) throughout their lives due to chronically increased inflammation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are potential chemopreventative agents that can inhibit the development of CRC in persons without IBD. However, the use of NSAIDs for CRC chemoprevention in IBD patients is further complicated by NSAIDs' induction of damage to the bowel mucosal layer and ulcer formation. There has been a push in new research on chemopreventative properties of certain NSAIDs for IBD. The purpose of this umbrella review is to investigate the potential of low-dose NSAID compounds as chemopreventative agents for patients with IBD. This paper will also suggest future areas of research in the prevention of CRC for patients with IBD.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a key factor in the development of inflammatory diseases. Elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the inflamed colon has been confirmed as an effective strategy to alleviate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The conventional approaches will cause systemic absorption and potential side effects. To address these issues, we develop a nanomedicine (LS@PDA NPs) that is capable of delivering to target inflammatory lesions by electrostatic adsorption, subsequently effectively scavenging the excess ROS and alleviating inflammation to ameliorate ulcerative colitis (UC). In the DSS induced acute colitis mice model, LS@PDA NPs can significantly reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, alleviate oxidative stress, and promote the favorable recovery of the damaged colonic tissue. These results indicate that LS@PDA NPs are able to effectively alleviate intestinal inflammation and provide strong theoretical support for the treatment of other inflammatory diseases.

Female gender, dissatisfaction with weight, and number of IBD related surgeries as independent risk factors for eating disorders among patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. BMC Gastroenterol 2022; 22:438. [PMID: 36253731 PMCID: PMC9578268 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-022-02526-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and risk factors of eating disorders among patients with IBD are poorly described in existing literature. Early recognition and intervention may influence clinical outcomes in both physical and mental health. The primary aims of this study were to describe the prevalence and identify risk factors for eating disorders among patients with IBD using a validated questionnaire, the EAT-26. METHODS The EAT-26 was administered via email as an anonymous, unpaid, online survey to 1589 patients with an electronic medical record coded diagnosis of IBD (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) who had visited our Digestive Health Center in the last 3 years. Demographics and IBD characteristics were also included in our survey. A score of 20 or higher on the EAT-26 portion of the survey was considered a positive screen for eating disorder risk. RESULTS Fifteen (4.8%) survey participants screened positively for ED risk. These 15 participants who screened positively had statistically significant differences in self-identified gender (93% female, p = 0.031), happiness with current weight (80% dissatisfied with their current weight and trying to lose weight, p < 0.01), prior eating disorder diagnosis (20%, p < 0.01), and number of IBD related surgeries (27% having 3 or more, p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS This study identifies independent risk factors for eating disorder risk in patients with IBD including female gender, dissatisfaction with current weight, number of IBD related surgeries, and history of prior eating disorder diagnosis.

Effects of CB2 and TRPV1 Stimulation on Osteoclast Overactivity Induced by Iron in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2022; 28:1244-1253.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reduction of bone mineral density and osteoporosis have high impacts on the health of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We have previously shown that a dysregulated iron metabolism occurs in IBD and leads to a decrease in circulating iron concentration and excessive intracellular sequestration of iron. Studies suggest that iron overload significantly affects the bone, accelerating osteoclast (OC) differentiation and activation, promoting bone resorption. Moreover, we demonstrated that iron overload causes OC overactivity. The cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) and the transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1) are potential therapeutic targets for bone diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the roles of CB2 and TRPV1 receptors and of iron in the development of osteoporosis in pediatric IBD. METHODS We differentiated OCs from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with IBD and healthy donors and evaluated CB2 and TRPV1 receptor expression; OC activity, and iron metabolism by Western blot, TRAP assays, bone resorption assays, and iron assays. Moreover, we analyzed the effects of the pharmacological modulation of CB2 and TRPV1 receptors on OC activity and on the iron metabolism. RESULTS We confirmed the well-known roles of CB2 and TRPV1 receptors in bone metabolism and suggested that their stimulation can reduce the OC overactivity induced by iron, providing new insights into the pathogenesis of pediatric IBD-related bone resorption. CONCLUSIONS Stimulation of CB2 and TRPV1 could reduce IBD-related osteoporosis due to their direct effects on OC activity and to modulating the iron metabolism.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) affect the gastrointestinal tract: they include Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Each has a different phenotypic spectrum, characterized by gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations. People living with IBD are very interested in diet, but little is known about the impact of diet on these patients; no guidelines are available yet. In this review, we analyze the dietary patterns of patients with IBD and the approach to the choices of foods both in adults and pediatric patients. Very often, IBD patients report an intentional avoidance of gluten to manage the disease; furthermore, a proportion of IBD patients believe that dairy products worsen their symptoms and that avoidance may help the disease. They have a low compliance with the Mediterranean Diet, which is considered to have potential benefits but is little used in practice. In conclusion, the review underscores the pivotal role of nutritional counselling in IBD patients, and the importance of future clinical studies to evaluate the beneficial effects of dietary recommendations in the management of IBD.
