Abstract
A 26-year-old man with a history of ulcerative colitis treatment presented to our clinic with abdominal pain and fever. He had a history of bloody stools and abdominal pain at 19 years of age. A thorough examination by a medical practitioner, including lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, resulted in the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. After induction of remission with prednisolone (PSL), the patient was treated with 5-aminosalicylate. One year ago in September, his symptoms flared up again, and he was administered 30 mg/day of PSL until November of the same year. However, he was transferred to another hospital and referred to his previous doctor. During the follow-up in December of the same year, flare-ups of abdominal pain and diarrhea were reported. Upon review of the patient's medical history, familial Mediterranean fever was suspected because the patient had periodic fevers ≥38°C and symptoms that persisted even after oral steroid administration and were sometimes accompanied by joint pain. However, he was transferred again, and PSL was administered once more. The patient was referred to our hospital for further treatment. At the time of arrival, his symptoms did not improve with 40 mg/day of PSL, and endoscopy and computed tomography revealed thickening of the colon, with no abnormality in the small intestine. Suspecting familial Mediterranean fever-associated enteritis, the patient was administered colchicine, resulting in an improvement in symptoms. Furthermore, an examination of the MEFV gene showed a mutation in Exon5 (S503C), and atypical familial Mediterranean fever was diagnosed. Endoscopy after colchicine treatment revealed that the ulcers improved remarkably.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospitalization for ulcerative colitis (UC) is potentially life-threatening. Severe disease in the Japanese criteria which modifies the Truelove-Witts' criteria might encompass more fulminant cases than the definition for acute severe UC. However, few studies have investigated the predictive factors for clinical remission (CR) after medical treatments for severe hospitalized patients by Japanese criteria. METHODS Medical treatment selection, CR rates, and factors contributing to CR on day 14 were assessed in severe patients by Japanese criteria. We also investigated whether the reduction rate in patient-reported outcome 2 (PRO2) on day 3 could predict short-term prognosis. RESULTS Eighty-five severe hospitalized patients were selected. Corticosteroids, tacrolimus, and infliximab were mainly selected as first-line treatments (76/85; 89.4%). The CR rates on day 14 were 26.8%, 21.4%, and 33.3% in patients receiving corticosteroids, tacrolimus, and infliximab, respectively. Extensive disease (odds ratio [OR] 0.022; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.002-0.198), higher PRO2 (OR 0.306; 95% CI 0.144-0.821), and higher reduction rate in PRO2 on day 3 (OR 1.047; 95% CI 1.019-1.075) were independent factors predicting CR on day 14. If the cutoff value for the reduction rate in PRO2 on day 3 was 18.3%, sensitivity was 0.714 and specificity was 0.731 to predict CR on day 14. A higher reduction rate in PRO2 on day 3 (OR 0.922; 95% CI 0.853-0.995) was a negative factor to predict surgery within 28 days. CONCLUSIONS Tacrolimus and infliximab in addition to corticosteroids were used as first-line treatment in severe hospitalized patients. PRO2 on day 3 is a useful marker for switching to second-line therapy or colectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Severe submucosal fibrosis is a crucial technical difficulty encountered during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to identify predictors of severe submucosal fibrosis in patients with UC. METHODS We retrospectively included 55 tumors resected using ESD from 48 consecutive patients with UC. We analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes between the F0/1 (none to mild submucosal fibrosis) group (n = 28) and F2 (severe submucosal fibrosis) group (n = 27). RESULTS No significant difference was found between the F0/1 and F2 groups in en bloc resection rate (100% vs. 96%, P = 0.49), the R0 resection rate (100% vs. 93%, P = 0.24), and the dissection speed (0.18 vs. 0.13 cm2 /min, P = 0.07). Intraoperative perforation was more common in the F2 group (30%) than in the F0/1 group (8%; P = 0.01). Multivariable analysis showed that a longer duration of UC (≥10 years; odds ratio [OR] 6.11; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-31.03; P = 0.03) and scarring of background mucosa of the tumor (OR 39.61; 95% CI 3.91-400.78; P < 0.01) were independent predictors of severe submucosal fibrosis. CONCLUSION Long UC duration and scarring background mucosa were predictors of severe submucosal fibrosis associated with perforation during ESD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Even with increasing numbers of biologic agents available for management of ulcerative colitis (UC), infliximab (IFX) retains an important place in treatment of pediatric patients with this disease. As few reports have addressed outcomes in pediatric UC patients who had to discontinue IFX, we examined clinical course and prognosis after IFX failure in pediatric UC. METHODS A prospective cohort study of pertinent cases enrolled in the Japanese Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Registry between 2012 and 2020 was conducted to determine outcomes for pediatric UC patients who received IFX but required its discontinuation during follow-up (IFX failure). RESULTS Of the 301 pediatric UC patients in the registry, 75 were treated with IFX; in 36 of these, IFX was discontinued during follow-up. Severity of UC at onset and absence of concomitant immunomodulator therapy were significant risk factors for IFX failure (P = 0.005 and P = 0.02, respectively). The cumulative colectomy rate after IFX failure was 41.3% at 1 year and 47.5% at 2 years. Colectomy was significantly more frequent when IFX was discontinued before June 1, 2018, than when IFX was discontinued later (P = 0.013). This difference likely involves availability of additional biologic agents for treatment of UC beginning in mid-2018 (P = 0.005). CONCLUSION In pediatric UC patients, approximately 50% underwent colectomy during a 2-year interval following IFX failure. Prognosis after IFX failure appeared to improve with availability of new biologic agents and small-molecule drugs in mid-2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This multicenter observational cohort study aimed to evaluate the utilization and short-term efficacy of advanced therapy (AT) in hospitalized patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). METHODS In total, 221 patients with ASUC were enrolled between August 2020 and July 2021. The primary endpoint was clinical remission (CR, defined as a patient-reported outcome score < 2 with no blood in the stool) rate on Day 7 and 14 in hospitalized patients who received corticosteroids (CS) and AT. RESULTS Among patients with ASUC, 120 and 101 patients received CS or any AT as first-line treatment, respectively. The CR rates on Day 7 and 14 were 22.5% and 35.0%, respectively, in hospitalized patients who received CS as first-line treatment. Most patients who used ATs had CS-dependent or frequent recurrences. Eight different ATs (apheresis, tacrolimus, infliximab, golimumab, tofacitinib, vedolizumab, ustekinumab, and cyclosporine) were used as first-line treatment in patients with ASUC, and the CR rates on Day 7 and 14 were 16.8% and 29.7%, respectively. Twenty-five patients received the second ATs after hospitalizations, and the CR rates on Day 7 and 14 were 0% and 12%, respectively. The CR rates on Day 14 were significantly higher in patients who changed to AT than in those whose dose of CS increased (34.0% vs 10.7%, p = 0.020) among patients who had already used CS before hospitalization. CONCLUSION Most first-use ATs were effective for patients with ASUC, while second-use ATs might have had limited benefits in inducing CR. These findings may contribute to considerations for the management of hospitalized patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at risk of developing colorectal cancer. The feasibility of endoscopic resection (ER) for UC-associated neoplasia has been suggested, but its efficacy and safety remain unclear. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ER for colorectal neoplasms in patients with UC. METHODS This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with UC who initially underwent ER or surgery for colorectal neoplasms between April 2015 and March 2021. Patients who had prior colorectal neoplastic lesions were excluded. RESULTS Among 213 men and 123 women analyzed, the mean age at UC onset was 41.6 years, and the mean age at neoplasia diagnosis was 56.1 years for 240 cases of total colitis, 59 cases of left-sided colitis, 31 cases of proctitis, and 6 cases of segmental colitis. EMR was performed for 142 lesions, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed for 96 lesions. The perforation rate was 2.5% for all 238 lesions removed by ER and 6.3% for the 96 lesions removed by ESD. Among 146 ER lesions followed up with endoscopy, the local recurrence rate was 2.7%. The incidence of metachronous neoplasia after ER was 6.1%. All patients were followed a median of 34.7 months after initial treatment, and 5 died (all surgical cases). Overall survival was significantly higher in the ER group than in the surgery group (P = .0085). CONCLUSIONS ER for colorectal neoplasms in UC may be acceptable in selected cases, although follow-up for metachronous lesions is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Perianal lesion is a refractory phenotype of Crohn's disease [CD] with significantly diminished quality of life. We evaluated the clinical characteristics of perianal lesions in newly diagnosed CD patients and the impact of perianal lesions on the quality of life in Japanese patients with CD. METHODS Patients newly diagnosed with CD after June 2016 were included between December 2018 and June 2020 from the Inception Cohort Registry Study of Patients with CD [iCREST-CD]. RESULTS Perianal lesions were present in 324 [48.2%] of 672 patients with newly diagnosed CD; 71.9% [233/324] were male. The prevalence of perianal lesions was higher in patients aged <40 years vs ≥40 years, and it decreased with age. Perianal fistula [59.9%] and abscess [30.6%] were the most common perianal lesions. In multivariate analyses, male sex, age <40 years and ileocolonic disease location were significantly associated with a high prevalence of perianal lesions, whereas stricturing behaviour and alcohol intake were associated with low prevalence. Fatigue was more frequent [33.3% vs 21.6%] while work productivity and activity impairment-work time missed [36.3% vs 29.5%] and activity impairment [51.9% vs 41.1%] were numerically higher in patients with than those without perianal lesions. CONCLUSIONS At the time of CD diagnosis, approximately half of the patients had perianal lesions; perianal abscesses and perianal fistulas were the most common. Young age, male sex, disease location and behaviour were significantly associated with the presence of perianal lesions. The presence of perianal lesion was associated with fatigue and impairment of daily activities.

Abstract
Pregnancy is a known risk factor for amebic enteritis, which develops into potentially fatal fulminant amebic enteritis in some cases. We describe a case of a 27-year-old non-immunosuppressed pregnant woman with fulminant amebic enteritis complicated with cytomegalovirus enteritis. She improved with intensive care and intravenous metronidazole and ganciclovir but eventually required subtotal colectomy for intestinal stenosis. It is difficult to diagnose amebic enteritis, especially in a non-endemic area. Amebic enteritis must be considered as a differential diagnosis for refractory diarrhea with bloody stools in women in the perinatal period, even those without immunosuppression.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) is a urinary biomarker reflecting ulcerative colitis (UC) activity. This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of PGE-MUM via rapid chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay in detecting endoscopic remission (ER) and histologic remission (HR) in pediatric UC (6-16 years) in comparison with fecal calprotectin (FCP). ER and HR were defined as Mayo endoscopic score (MES) of 0 and Matts' histological grades (Matts) of 1 or 2, respectively. A total of 104 UC and 39 functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) were analyzed. PGE-MUM levels were significantly higher in the UC group than in the FGID group (P < 0.001). FCP levels were significantly elevated in the group without ER and HR than in the group with ER and HR (P < 0.001 and P = 0.001), whereas PGE-MUM levels were significantly higher in the group without ER compared to the group with ER (P < 0.001). No significant differences were noted in the AUCs for PGE-MUM and FCP in detecting ER and HR. Although PGE-MUM was inferior to FCP for the detection of HR, it might have the potential for application as a biomarker of endoscopic activity in pediatric UC owing to its noninvasive and rapid method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As best practices for treating children with severe-onset ulcerative colitis remain controversial in the era of biologic agents, we prospectively investigated treatments and outcomes in a multicenter cohort. METHODS Using a Web-based data registry maintained in Japan between October 2012 and March 2020, we compared management and treatment outcomes in an S1 group defined by a Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index of 65 or more points at diagnosis with those in an S0 group defined by an index value below 65. RESULTS Three hundred one children with ulcerative colitis treated at 21 institutions were included, with follow-up for 3.6 ± 1.9 years. Among them, 75 (25.0%) were in S1; their age at diagnosis was 12.3 ± 2.9 years, and 93% had pancolitis. Colectomy free rates in S1 were 89% after 1 year, 79% after 2, and 74% after 5, significantly lower than for S0 (P = 0.0003). Calcineurin inhibitors and biologic agents, respectively, were given to 53% and 56% of S1 patients, significantly more than for S0 patients (P < 0.0001). Among S1 patients treated with calcineurin inhibitors when steroids failed, 23% required neither biologic agents nor colectomy, similarly to the S0 group (P = 0.46). CONCLUSIONS Children with severe ulcerative colitis are likely to require powerful agents such as calcineurin inhibitors and biologic agents; sometimes colectomy ultimately proves necessary. Need for biologic agents in steroid-resistant patients might be reduced to an extent by interposing a therapeutic trial of CI rather than turning to biologic agents or colectomy immediately.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and grade of anastomotic leakage (AL) in stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and its long-term impact on the pouch functions. METHODS A longitudinal cohort study was conducted on UC patients who underwent stapled IPAA at Yokohama City University Medical Center between 2007 and 2018. The diagnosis and grading of AL were performed in accordance with the recommendations of the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer. We assessed the functional pouch rate, late complication, pouch survival rate, bowel function (bowel movements per day, soiling, spotting, difficulty in distinguishing feces from flatus) and pouch inflammation (pouchitis disease activity index; PDAI) in the long-term period. RESULTS Two hundred seventy-six patients were analyzed. Twenty-three (8.3%; grade B/C; 13/10) patients were diagnosed with AL, but a functional pouch was achieved in all the twenty-three patients. Anastomotic stricture was significantly more common in patients with AL (AL group) than in patients without AL (non-AL group; AL/non-AL: 13.0/3.2%, p = 0.020). There were no differences in other late complications. Furthermore, the pouch survival rate did not differ between the AL and non-AL groups (100.0/97.9%/10 years, p = 0.494). There were no differences between the groups in bowel movements per day, spotting, soling, difficulty in distinguishing feces from flatus, or PDAI postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Curable AL may not affect late complications (except anastomotic stricture), pouch survival, the bowel function, or pouch inflammation over the long term. Perioperative management to prevent the severity of AL is as important as preventing its occurrence.

Abstract
Immunosuppressive therapies can affect the immune response to or safety of vaccination in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The appropriateness of vaccination should be assessed prior to the initiation of IBD treatment because patients with IBD frequently undergo continuous treatment with immunosuppressive drugs. This consensus was developed to support the decision-making process regarding appropriate vaccination for pediatric and adult patients with IBD and physicians by providing critical information according to the published literature and expert consensus about vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) [excluding cervical cancer and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)] in Japan. This consensus includes 19 important clinical questions (CQs) on the following 4 topics: VPDs (6 CQs), live attenuated vaccines (2 CQs), inactivated vaccines (6 CQs), and vaccination for pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding (5 CQs). These topics and CQs were selected under unified consensus by the members of a committee on intractable diseases with support by a Health and Labour Sciences Research Grant. Physicians should provide necessary information on VPDs to their patients with IBD and carefully manage these patients' IBD if various risk factors for the development or worsening of VPDs are present. This consensus will facilitate informed and shared decision-making in daily IBD clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In women with inflammatory bowel disease, at least 3 months of preconception corticosteroid-free remission (CFREM) is recommended by experts in current consensus statements. However, data are lacking on the appropriate preconception remission period. We investigated the appropriate preconception CFREM period in women with ulcerative colitis to reduce maternal disease activity and adverse pregnancy outcomes (ie, preterm birth, low birth weight, and small for gestational age). METHODS We retrospectively examined 141 pregnancies in women with ulcerative colitis at 2 institutions. We categorized the patients into 3 subgroups by their preconception CFREM period (≥3 months, >0 to <3 months, and non-CFREM). We also investigated disease activity during pregnancy and postpartum and adverse pregnancy outcomes in each group. RESULTS During pregnancy, the rate of active disease was significantly lower in the ≥3 months and >0 to <3 months CFREM groups compared with that in the non-CFREM group (P < .001 and P = .0257, respectively). Postpartum, the rate of active disease was significantly lower in the ≥3 months CFREM group compared with that in the non-CFREM group (P = .0087). The preconception CFREM period of ≥3 months was an independent inhibitory factor for active disease during pregnancy and postpartum (adjusted odds ratio, 0.15; P = .0035; and adjusted odds ratio, 0.33; P = .027, respectively). Adverse pregnancy outcomes were less common in the >3 months CFREM group compared with those in the other groups, but this difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS A preconception CFREM period of more than 3 months may be appropriate for better maternal and adverse pregnancy outcomes, as recommended in consensus statements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic resection (ER) is feasible for treating well-circumscribed dysplasia in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, long-term prognosis of ER for high-grade dysplasia (HGD) in patients with UC remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the long-term prognoses of ER for HGD compared with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and verify the feasibility of ER and follow-up with surveillance colonoscopy for HGD. METHODS An observational, single-center retrospective study included 38 and 22 patients with LGD and HGD who were followed-up with surveillance colonoscopy after ER. We evaluated the cumulative incidence rate of metachronous HGD or colorectal cancer (CRC) and identified the characteristics of metachronous dysplasia. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 56 months, and surveillance colonoscopies were performed 3.6 times (mean). The 5-year cumulative incidence rate of HGD/CRC was relatively high in HGD (24.6%) than in LGD (13.7%), but the difference was not significant (p = .16). In HGD cases, six metachronous dysplasia lesions (two LGD and four HGD) were detected 11.6-40.5 months after ER. However, these patients did not progress to CRC. All metachronous lesions were well-circumscribed and with no invisible dysplasia surrounding them; they were 'endoscopically resectable' lesions. Two of the four metachronous HGD lesions were treated endoscopically and two, by colectomy. No synchronous HGD or CRC was detected in the colectomy specimens. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that ER and follow-up with surveillance colonoscopy is feasible in patients with HGD when histological complete resection is achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Inception Cohort Registry Study of Patients with Crohn's Disease aimed to clarify clinical characteristics and disease course of newly diagnosed Crohn's disease patients in Japan throughout a 4-year period. Results from an interim analysis of the largest nation-wide registry study that covers approximately 1% of Crohn's disease patient population in Japan are reported. METHODS This prospective, observational registry study was conducted at 19 tertiary centers in Japan. Patients newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease after June 2016 (age ≥ 16 years at informed consent) were enrolled between December 17, 2018 and June 30, 2020. Patient demographics, diagnostic procedures and categories, disease location and lesion behavior (Montreal classification) at the time of diagnosis were recorded. RESULTS Of 673 patients enrolled, 672 (99.9%) were analyzed (458: men, 214: women), male-to-female ratio: 2.1, median age at diagnosis 25 (range 13-86) years; peak age of disease diagnosis: 20-24 years. Most common disease location was L3 (ileocolonic; 60.1%). Non-stricturing, non-penetrating (B1) disease was most common behavior (62.8%); 48.9% reported perianal lesions. Notably, age-wise analysis revealed disease phenotypes varied between patients aged < 40 and ≥ 40 years in terms of male-to-female ratio (2.5/1.3)/disease location (L3: 66.3%/37.0%)/disease behavior (B1: 66.4%/50.0%)/perianal lesion: (55.7%/20.5%) at Crohn's disease diagnosis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Interim analysis of this nation-wide Inception Cohort Registry Study of Patients with Crohn's Disease revealed the demographics and disease characteristics of newly diagnosed Crohn's disease patients in Japan and demonstrated that disease phenotype varied between patients aged < 40 and ≥ 40 years, serving as important information for management of individual patients.

Abstract
The difficulty of life scale (DLS) instrument is used to measure specific life problems in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Importantly, health care providers should consider the characteristics of the country in which they support patients with UC. This cross-cultural comparison study investigated DLS among patients with UC in Japan and the United Kingdom (UK). Outpatients attending one hospital in London and one in Osaka were included. We collected patient information using the DLS questionnaire, which comprises 18 items in three domains. Mean differences between Japan and the UK were compared for the total score and each domain of the DLS. Variables with P < .05 in univariate analysis were entered into a multiple regression model. We included 142 patients from Japan and 100 patients from the UK in the analysis. Univariate results showed that UK patients had more difficulties than Japanese patients in all three domains. Multivariate results showed that only "decline of vitality or vigor" showed significantly lower difficulty scores in Japanese patients. Having four or more bowel movements per day, visible bleeding, and being a homemaker or unemployed were significantly associated with greater difficulty according to the DLS total score. The level of daily life difficulties assessed using the DLS was greater among patients in the UK than among Japanese patients. This comparative study between patients with UC in Japan and the UK demonstrated certain country-related features for domain 3, "decline of vitality or vigor," of the DLS. The reasons why UK patients felt greater decline in vitality or vigor may be that these patients may have symptoms other than bowel symptoms; also, Japanese patients are more hesitant to express discomfort. The findings of this study might lead to a better understanding of culturally sensitive perceptions of daily life difficulties in UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic resection (ER) is feasible for well-circumscribed tumors in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC); however, the specific manner for diagnosis of the tumor border is unclear. We evaluated the efficacy of magnifying endoscopy (ME) for the diagnosis of tumor borders in UC. METHODS We analyzed endoscopically or surgically resected tumors in UC patients in whom both chromoendoscopy (CE) and ME were performed, retrospectively. We classified the tumors based on tumor border visibility and evaluated tumor's characteristics and ER outcomes. RESULTS We examined 100 tumors from 76 UC patients (66 distinct and 34 indistinct on CE). In 22 (65%) indistinct tumors on CE, ME improved the tumor border visibility. Compared with distinct tumors on CE, nonpolypoid and large tumors were more common in indistinct tumors on CE. In indistinct tumors even on ME, flat or depressed morphologies and type V pit were more frequently than in other groups. Sixty-five distinct tumors on CE and 18 distinct tumors on ME alone were treated endoscopically, and their R0 resection rate were 91% and 95% (p > 0.99). CONCLUSIONS ME can improve the tumor border visibility in UC, and ER is feasible for tumors whose border can be visualized on ME.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the selection criteria, postoperative complications, bowel function, and prognosis of stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and hand-sewn IPAA for ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS We defined our surgical indications and strategy, and compared the postoperative complications, bowel function, and prognoses between patients who underwent stapled and hand-sewn IPAA for UC at the Yokohama City University Medical Center between 2004 and 2017. RESULTS Among 320 patients enrolled, 298 patients underwent stapled IPAA while 22 underwent hand-sewn IPAA. There was no significant difference in the postoperative complications between the two groups. Regarding postoperative bowel function, stapled IPAA caused significantly less soiling (stapled vs hand-sewn: 9.1% vs 41.0%, odds ratio (OR) = 0.14, p < 0.0002), spotting (stapled vs hand-sewn: 23.2% vs 63.6%, OR = 0.17, p < 0.0001), and difficulty in distinguishing feces from flatus (stapled vs hand-sewn: 39.9% vs 63.6%, OR = 0.36, p < 0.026). No postoperative neoplasia was observed at the final follow-up in all patients. CONCLUSION In this study, there was no clear difference in the postoperative complications between stapled and hand-sewn IPAA, but stapled IPAA resulted in better postoperative bowel function. Postoperative oncogenesis from the residual mucosa is rare. However, future cancer risk remains; thus, careful follow-up is required.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the intestine. The incidence of IBD is increasing worldwide, including Japan, and in approximately 25% of all affected patients it is diagnosed before 18 years of age. For the health maintenance of such patients, planned transition to adult care systems is essential. Previous Japanese surveys have revealed gaps between adult and pediatric gastroenterologists with regard to their knowledge and perception of health-care transition for patients with childhood-onset IBD. In 2021-2022, several Web workshops to discuss issues related to the transitional care of IBD patients were held by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan as part of their program for research on intractable diseases. Clinicians experienced in IBD treatment for pediatric and adult patients participated. As a result, this panel of adult and pediatric gastroenterologists developed five consensus statements on the issue of "transfer from pediatric to adult care" and nine statements on the issue of "addressing transitional care (transition program)." To address current gaps in health-care transition for childhood-onset IBD patients, a programmed approach to transition, and better partnerships between pediatric and adult gastroenterologists are indicated. It is hoped that this consensus statement will provide a basis for the development of appropriate guidelines for clinical practice.

Abstract
This is a case implying a serious infectious complication risk during intensive severe ulcerative colitis treatment. A 26-year-old man developed diarrhea and bloody stool who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2018. He was managed with 5-aminosalicylic acid, but intolerance reaction resulted in discontinuation of treatment. He relapsed with severe abdominal pain and bloody stools in February 2019. He was referred to our department for intensive therapy. He had been treated with steroids, tacrolimus, granulocyte and monocyte apheresis, infliximab or tofacitinib, which temporarily improved his clinical symptoms. However, his medical condition could not be controlled. Hand-assisted laparoscopic subtotal colectomy was then performed in October 2019. He developed intermittent fever on postoperative day 3. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple deep vein thromboses and pulmonary embolism. Antibiotics and anticoagulation therapy were initiated, but postoperative day 13 CT showed multiple pulmonary cavities containing fluids and air, which were diagnosed as pulmonary abscess. His intermittent fever was over 38.0°C. Severe cough and hemoptysis lasted 3 weeks, the clinical symptoms and laboratory data then gradually improved after the fourth week.

Abstract
PURPOSE Non-adherence to medication was reported by 28% of Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis, but in the United Kingdom, patients with inflammatory bowel disease have lower medication adherence, which increases clinical relapse risk. The objective of this study was to compare medication adherence among patients with ulcerative colitis in Japan with previously reported results and patients in the United Kingdom. PATIENTS AND METHODS This cross-cultural comparison study investigated medication adherence among 100 ulcerative colitis patients in the United Kingdom and 432 ulcerative colitis patients in Japan. Adherence was assessed using The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 questionnaire. Patient clinical features were collected from medical records and the questionnaire. Distribution of responses for each item, questionnaire total score, difference in ratio for each item between Japanese and UK patients, and difference in percentage of low/medium/high adherence between Japanese and UK patients were compared. RESULTS The proportion of low/medium or high adherence was significantly different between countries (42.6% and 7.4% [Japan] vs 24.0% and 76.0% [United Kingdom]; p<0.01). Significantly more Japanese patients reported taking medication correctly the day before the questionnaire compared with UK patients. CONCLUSION UK patients were more likely to not take medication when they felt their symptoms were under control compared with Japanese patients. UK patients perceived it was more difficult to remember to take the medication than Japanese patients. This study highlights culturally sensitive medication-taking behaviors in Japanese and UK patients with ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study explored preoperative risk factors (predictors) of incisional surgical site infection (I-SSI) in severe or intractable ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS This was a retrospective study of 230 consecutive patients who underwent primary surgery for UC. Patients whose surgical indications were UC with cancer or dysplasia were excluded. SSI was defined as an infection according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines. Preoperative variables were examined by univariate, receiver operating characteristic curve, and multivariate analyses. RESULTS We analyzed 208 patients in this study. In a multivariate logistic analysis, C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 1.7 mg/dl [odds ratio (OR) 5.35; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-19.06; p = 0.01), albumin ≤ 2.4 g/dl (OR 5.77; 95% CI 1.41-23.57; p = 0.02), and preoperative blood transfusion (OR 3.21; 95% CI 1.04-9.96; p = 0.04) were predictors of I-SSI. Patients with all predictors had a more than 50% incidence of I-SSI, a higher incidence of all severe complications (13.6% vs. 3.2%; p = 0.02), and a longer postoperative hospital stay (19.5 vs. 17.0 days, p = 0.04) than the other patients. CONCLUSIONS CRP ≥ 1.7 mg/dl, albumin ≤ 2.4 g/dl, and transfusion are predictors of I-SSI in severe or intractable UC. Clinician should carefully evaluate the surgical options before these predictors appear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The accuracy of ultrasound for evaluation of individual colorectal segments in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has not been evaluated in a systematic review. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in different colorectal segments of patients with IBD. METHODS We searched publication databases from inception through March 2019 for studies that assessed the accuracy of ultrasound in detection of inflammation in right, transverse, and left colon and in rectum in patients with IBD, using findings from colonoscopy as the reference standard. Subgroup analyses were performed including IBD type, patient age, body mass index, and study design. The risk of bias was assessed with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. RESULTS Nineteen studies (1101 patients) were included in the qualitative synthesis. After we assessed the risk of bias, 7 studies (comprising 84 patients with Crohn's disease and 420 patients with ulcerative colitis) were included in the meta-analysis. Bowel wall thickness ≥ 3 mm identified colorectal segments with inflammation with 86.4% pooled sensitivity (95% CI, 76.1%-92.7%) and 88.3% pooled specificity (95% CI, 58.1%-97.6%). In rectum only, bowel wall thickness ≥ 3 mm identified inflammation with 74.5% sensitivity (95% CI, 53.0%-88.3%) and 69.5% specificity (95% CI, 33.6%-91.1%). Diagnostic accuracy was comparable among subgroups. Increased bowel wall flow and loss of stratification had higher true-positive odds ratios. CONCLUSIONS Based on meta-analysis of patient-level data, ultrasound has higher diagnostic accuracy for detecting inflammation in colon than rectum in patients with IBD. Studies are needed to increase the accuracy of ultrasound detection of inflammation in rectum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic resection is feasible for superficial tumors in patients with ulcerative colitis; however, endoscopic resection options have not been evaluated comprehensively. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection, and decision making regarding endoscopic resection options for patients with ulcerative colitis. METHODS Endoscopically treated tumors from patients with ulcerative colitis were analyzed retrospectively. We evaluated en bloc and R0 resection, adverse events, local tumor recurrence, and metachronous lesion occurrence rates. RESULTS We examined 102 tumors (mean size, 12 mm; non-polypoid, 55 tumors) from 74 patients with ulcerative colitis, of whom, 39 and 63 underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection, respectively. The R0 resection rate was significantly higher for endoscopic submucosal dissection (97%) than for endoscopic mucosal resection (80%) (P = 0.0015). For 11-20-mm tumors, the R0 resection rate was significantly higher for endoscopic submucosal dissection (94%) than for endoscopic mucosal resection (55%) (P = 0.0027); the endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection R0 rates did not differ for ≤ 10-mm tumors. The non-polypoid tumor R0 resection rates were significantly higher for endoscopic submucosal dissection (100%) than for endoscopic mucosal resection (65%) (P < 0.001) and did not differ regarding the polypoid tumor R0 resection rates (75% vs 86%, P = 0.49). Four patients experienced intraoperative perforation during endoscopic submucosal dissection. No local recurrences occurred. Metachronous high-grade dysplasia occurred in three patients during surveillance. CONCLUSIONS In patients with ulcerative colitis, endoscopic submucosal dissection is suitable for ≥ 11-mm and non-polypoid tumors, whereas endoscopic mucosal resection is acceptable for ≤ 10-mm tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2019 we reported the results of a Japanese national survey designed to explore the views of adult gastroenterologists regarding transitional care for patients with childhood-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). For the present study, we conducted a similar survey of pediatric gastroenterologists to compare the views of the two sets of specialists. METHODS The survey conducted in 2019 involved 48 representative members of the Japanese Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. They were contacted by conventional mail and their answers were not anonymized. Respondents who had already referred patients with IBD to adult gastroenterologists were asked in a questionnaire to rank the importance of specific statements on a Likert scale. RESULTS The response rate was 79% and 29 (60%) of the respondents had experienced transitional care for patients with IBD. Transfer to adult care was considered by 90% of the respondents to be the ideal form of medical care for adolescents/young adults with IBD. However, 59% of the respondents had experienced some degree of difficulty when making referrals for such care. The majority of pediatric gastroenterologists considered that the ideal age for transfer was 18-22 years. Among the respondents, physicians at municipal hospitals considered that the presence of diseases other than IBD and a shortage of manpower were significantly more important issues than other practice settings. CONCLUSIONS The present survey revealed that the general views regarding transitional care for IBD between pediatric and adult gastroenterologists were similar, except for the appropriate time for transfer. The results underline the importance of preparing a transition program appropriate to practice settings.

Abstract
The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale is a clinically relevant tool used to evaluate medication adherence. In the current study, the validity and reliability of a Japanese version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and factors related to low adherence were investigated in patients with ulcerative colitis. The original English version was translated into Japanese and then 3 institutions in Japan administered that Japanese version to 428 patients taking medication. Factor validity, internal consistency, and correlations between the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and adherence were calculated on the basis of patients' own reports of skipped medication, and known group validity between clinically different groups was assessed. Logistic regression was used to assess relationships between low adherence and other factors. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale identified 184 of 428 patients (43.0%) who exhibited low adherence. Confirmed factor analysis indicated one-dimensionality of the scale. Cronbach's α was 0.74. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale score was significantly correlated with self-reported missed medication. Patients who were on concomitant induction therapy exhibited significantly better Morisky Medication Adherence Scale scores than those who were not. Patients with low adherence reported difficulty taking medicine, having proctitis, and ulcerative colitis duration of less than 5 years, and were of younger age. The Japanese Morisky Medication Adherence Scale yielded clinically relevant measures of adherence in patients with ulcerative colitis and may promote further international comparative studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The present study examined the utility of serum p53 antibody (Ab) for detecting colitis-associated cancer (CAC) in the era of immunosuppressive therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred and fifty patients were analyzed, 219 had no carcinoma or dysplasia (Group non-CAC), and 31 had carcinoma or dysplasia (Group CAC). Serum p53 Abs were detected with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunohistochemical detection was performed in Group CAC. RESULTS Immunosuppressive therapy was performed in 98.1% of Group non-CAC and 80.6% of Group CAC. There were no differences in serum p53 Abs positivity between Groups non-CAC and CAC (8.7% vs. 3.2%, p=0.30). p53 staining positivity was noted in 90.3% of Group CAC, and the rate of serum p53 positivity was significantly lower in patients with immunosuppressive therapy than in those without in Group CAC (0.0% vs. 16.7%, p=0.04). CONCLUSION The utility of serum p53 Ab for detecting CAC is dubious in the era of immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS There are few published registry studies from Asia on pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Registry network data enable comparisons among ethnic groups. This study examined the characteristics of IBD in Japanese children and compared them with those in European children. METHODS This was a cross-sectional multicenter registry study of newly diagnosed Japanese pediatric IBD patients. The Paris classification was used to categorize IBD features, and results were compared with published EUROKIDS data. RESULTS A total of 265 pediatric IBD patients were initially registered, with 22 later excluded for having incomplete demographic data. For the analysis, 91 Crohn's disease (CD), 146 ulcerative colitis (UC), and 6 IBD-unclassified cases were eligible. For age at diagnosis, 20.9% of CD, 21.9% of UC, and 83.3% of IBD-unclassified cases were diagnosed before age 10 years. For CD location, 18.7%, 13.2%, 64.8%, 47.3%, and 20.9% were classified as involving L1 (ileocecum), L2 (colon), L3 (ileocolon), L4a (esophagus/stomach/duodenum), and L4b (jejunum/proximal ileum), respectively. For UC extent, 76% were classified as E4 (pancolitis). For CD behavior, B1 (non-stricturing/non-penetrating), B2 (stricturing), B3 (penetrating), and B2B3 were seen in 83.5%, 11.0%, 3.3%, and 2.2%, respectively. A comparison between Japanese and European children showed less L2 involvement (13.2% vs. 27.3%, P< 0.01) but more L4a (47.3% vs. 29.6%, P< 0.01) and L3 (64.8% vs. 52.7%, P< 0.05) involvement in Japanese CD children. Pediatric perianal CD was more prevalent in Japanese children (34.1% vs. 9.7%, P< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Upper gastrointestinal and perianal CD lesions are more common in Japanese children than in European children.

Abstract
We investigated the clinical course of individuals with 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) who were transferred from the Diamond Princess cruise ship to 12 local hospitals. The conditions and clinical courses of patients with pneumonia were compared with those of patients without pneumonia. Among 70 patients (median age: 67 years) analyzed, the major symptoms were fever (64.3%), cough (54.3%), and general fatigue (24.3%). Forty-three patients (61.4%) had pneumonia. Higher body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate as well as higher of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and lower serum albumin level and lymphocyte count were associated with the presence of pneumonia. Ground-glass opacity was found in 97.7% of the patients with pneumonia. Patients were administered neuraminidase inhibitors (20%), lopinavir/ritonavir (32.9%), and ciclesonide inhalation (11.4%). Mechanical ventilation and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was performed on 14 (20%) and 2 (2.9%) patients, respectively; two patients died. The median duration of intubation was 12 days. The patients with COVID-19 transferred to local hospitals during the outbreak had severe conditions and needed close monitoring. The severity of COVID-19 depends on the presence of pneumonia. High serum LDH, AST and CRP levels and low serum albumin level and lymphocyte count were found to be predictors of pneumonia. It was challenging for local hospitals to admit and treat these patients during the outbreak of COVID-19. Assessment of severity was crucial to manage a large number of patients.

Abstract
Behçet's disease (BD) is an intractable systemic inflammatory disease characterized by four main symptoms: oral and genital ulcers and ocular and cutaneous involvement. The Japanese diagnostic criteria of BD classify intestinal BD as a specific disease type. Volcano-shaped ulcers in the ileocecum are a typical finding of intestinal BD, and punched-out ulcers can be observed in the intestine or esophagus. Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors were first approved for the treatment of intestinal BD in Japan and have been used as standard therapy. In 2007 and 2014, the Japan consensus statement for the diagnosis and management of intestinal BD was established. Recently, evidence-based JSBD (Japanese Society for BD) Clinical Practice Guidelines for BD (Japanese edition) were published, and the section on intestinal BD was planned to be published in English. Twenty-eight important clinical questions (CQs) for diagnosis (CQs 1-6), prognosis (CQ 7), monitoring and treatment goals (CQs 8-11), medical management and general statement (CQs 12-13), medical treatment (CQs 14-22), and surgical treatment (CQs 23-25) of BD and some specific situations (CQs 26-28) were selected as unified consensus by the members of committee. The statements and comments were made following a search of published scientific evidence. Subsequently, the levels of recommendation were evaluated based on clinical practice guidelines in the Medical Information Network Distribution Service. The degree of agreement was calculated using anonymous voting. We also determined algorithms for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for intestinal BD. The present guidelines will facilitate decision making in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objectives: Transabdominal ultrasonography is a common and accurate tool for managing Crohn's disease (CD); however, the significance of the resulting data is poorly understood. This study was performed to determine the association between bowel wall thickness evaluated by water-immersion ultrasonography and macroscopic severity, namely, refractory inflammation and subsequent fibrosis in CD surgical specimens.Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated 100 segments of colon and small intestine from 27 patients with CD. The resected specimens were placed in saline postoperatively, and bowel wall thickness was measured by water-immersion ultrasonography and compared with macroscopic findings. Correlations between bowel wall thickness and macroscopic findings were assessed using analysis of variance and receiver operating characteristic curves.Results: According to the progression of macroscopic severity, the mean bowel wall thickness was increased as follows: macroscopically intact: 4.1 mm, longitudinal ulcer scars: 5.4 mm, longitudinal open ulcers: 6.0 mm, large ulcers: 6.4 mm, cobblestone-like lesions: 7.1 mm, and fibrotic strictures: 7.4 mm. For all lesions except longitudinal ulcer scars, the bowel wall thickness was significantly thicker than that of macroscopically-intact areas (p < .001). According to receiver operating characteristic curves, bowel wall thickness >4.5 mm was associated with CD lesions, and thickness >5.5 mm was associated with more severe lesions.Conclusions: The bowel wall thickness of CD lesions was evaluated by water-immersion ultrasonography correlated with macroscopic disease severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is recommended for the therapy of mild to moderate intestinal Behçet's disease (BD). However, the induction remission efficacy and endoscopic outcomes of 5-ASA are unknown. We investigated remission induction at 8 weeks, endoscopic outcomes until 52 weeks, and event-free survival at 52 weeks in patients with intestinal BD treated with 5-ASA. METHODS Forty-one patients with intestinal BD were treated with oral 5-ASA. Clinical remission was evaluated with the Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI). The endoscopic response was evaluated using the modified global gastrointestinal endoscopic assessment scores. Rescue therapy-free survival and surgery-free survival at 52 weeks were estimated, and predictive factors for a clinical response at weeks 8 and 52 were identified. RESULTS Seven patients (17%) withdrew 5-ASA early (≤ 8 weeks) because of adverse events. At week 8, clinical efficacy could be accurately evaluated in 28 patients, and the response and remission rates were 61% and 57%, respectively, using the CDAI. Endoscopic evaluation was achieved in 17 patients up to 52 weeks, and the endoscopic response and remission rates were 71% and 35%, respectively. The probabilities of rescue therapy-free survival and surgery-free survival were 73% and 100%, respectively, at 52 weeks in all 41 patients. The predictive factors for therapeutic effectiveness at week 8 were a higher baseline C-reactive protein level and CDAI, but they were negative predictive factors for a 52-week response. CONCLUSIONS 5-ASA is effective for clinical and endoscopic induction and maintaining a response in patients with mild to moderate intestinal BD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combining a thiopurine with the human anti-tumour necrosis factor-α monoclonal antibody adalimumab for Crohn's disease [CD] treatment is controversial with regard to efficacy and safety. By conducting a subanalysis of a multicentre, randomised, prospective, open-label trial [the DIAMOND study, UMIN registration number 000005146], we studied the risk of discontinuation of thiopurine in combination with adalimumab. METHODS In the preceding DIAMOND study, we analysed the: [i] timing and reasons for dropout in the monotherapy group and combination group; [ii] risk factors for dropout in the combination group. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the dropout rate up to Week 52 between the monotherapy group and combination group [p = 0.325]. The main reason for study dropout was active CD in the monotherapy group, whereas it was adverse effects in the combination group [Fisher's exact test, p <0.001]. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed significantly earlier dropout in the combination group [log-rank test, p = 0.001]. Multivariable analysis revealed low body weight to be a risk for dropout due to adverse effects in the combination group. CONCLUSIONS Combination of azathioprine with adalimumab resulted in dropout in the early stage of the study due to side effects of azathioprine, in comparison with late dropout due to active CD in the adalimumab monotherapy group.

Abstract
Background/Aims Tacrolimus is effective for refractory ulcerative colitis in adults, while data for children is sparse. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tacrolimus for induction and maintenance therapy in Japanese children with ulcerative colitis. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the multicenter survey data of 67 patients with ulcerative colitis aged < 17 years treated with tacrolimus between 2000 and 2012. Patients’ characteristics, disease activity, Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) score, initial oral tacrolimus dose, short-term (2-week) and long-term (1-year) outcomes, steroid-sparing effects, and adverse events were evaluated. Clinical remission was defined as a PUCAI score < 10; treatment response was defined as a PUCAI score reduction of ≥ 20 points compared with baseline. Results Patients included 35 boys and 32 girls (median [interquartile range] at admission: 13 [11–15] years). Thirty-nine patients were steroid-dependent and 26 were steroidrefractory; 20 had severe colitis and 43 had moderate colitis. The initial tacrolimus dose was 0.09 mg/kg/day (range, 0.05–0.12 mg/kg/day). The short-term clinical remission rate was 47.8%, and the clinical response rate was 37.3%. The mean prednisolone dose was reduced from 19.2 mg/day at tacrolimus initiation to 5.7 mg/day at week 8 (P< 0.001). The adverse event rate was 53.7%; 6 patients required discontinuation of tacrolimus therapy. Conclusions Tacrolimus was a safe and effective second-line induction therapy for steroid-dependent and steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis in Japanese children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2018, Japanese guidelines for autonomy support of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the transitional period were published. These guidelines, however, were prepared mainly by pediatric gastroenterologists. In order to improve such supportive guidelines, it is necessary for pediatric gastroenterologists to be aware of the attitudes and expectations of adult gastroenterologists. Accordingly, the first Japanese national survey designed to explore the views of adult gastroenterologists regarding successful transitional care was conducted. METHODS The survey involved institutions at which adult gastroenterologists in the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan's Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Study Group, were working. Physicians were contacted by conventional mail, and their answers were not anonymized. A total of 100 eligible adult institutions were identified. Further specific subgroup analysis was conducted. RESULTS A response rate of 34% was achieved. Seventy-six percent of the respondents had experienced some degree of difficulty when accepting patients with childhood-onset IBD referred from pediatric gastroenterologists. With regard to the ideal form of medical care for adolescent patients with IBD, transfer to adult care was supported by 94% of the respondents. Only 27% of respondents, however, stated they would have no hesitation in accepting patients referred from pediatric care centers. Two crucial areas requiring improvement were identified: inadequate clinical summaries and lack of patient independence from their parents/caregivers. CONCLUSIONS The present survey results reinforce the importance of a transitional program of education for childhood-onset IBD patients and the need to improve communication between adult and pediatric gastroenterologists.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Calcineurin inhibitors are highly effective in patients with corticosteroid-refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). When therapy with calcineurin inhibitors fails, adalimumab can be considered to avoid colectomy. The efficacy and safety of this sequential alternative salvage therapy remain unknown. Therefore, the present study was performed to investigate the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of adalimumab after failure of calcineurin inhibitors in corticosteroid-refractory UC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with a corticosteroid-refractory flare of UC who did not respond to calcineurin inhibitors and received continuing salvage therapy with adalimumab were included in this retrospective, observational, single-centre study. The cumulative rates of colectomy were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Clinical remission and response were evaluated based on the Rachmilewitz index. The cumulative rates of colectomy were calculated. Predictive factors for clinical remission and colectomy were identified. In the safety evaluation, any adverse event occurring after the administration of adalimumab was considered. RESULTS Forty-one patients were enrolled; 78% had extensive colitis and 87% had moderate to severe colitis. Seventeen patients (41%) underwent colectomy during the follow-up period. At week 8, 26, and 52 after adalimumab injection, 27%, 39%, and 32% of patients achieved clinical remission, respectively. The adverse event rate was 17%, including one case of tuberculosis. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of adalimumab for calcineurin inhibitor-refractory UC was examined for the first time. Treatment with adalimumab avoided the need for colectomy in two-thirds of patients with corticosteroid-refractory UC in whom calcineurin inhibitors had failed. However, attention is needed to avoid adverse events, especially infection.

Abstract
Background/Aims In clinical practice, colonoscopy has been regarded as the gold standard for the evaluation of disease severity as well as mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis (UC). Some activity indices incorporating patient symptoms as parameters have been shown to reflect the endoscopic activity of UC. The aim of this study was to examine whether self-reported symptoms with visual analog scales (VAS) can predict endoscopic activity. Methods A cross-sectional study of 150 UC patients who underwent colonoscopy with submission of VAS scores of 4 symptoms: general condition, bloody stools, stool form, and abdominal pain (0: no symptoms, 10: the most severe symptoms). Each VAS score was compared with colonoscopic activity assessed with the Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES). Results All VAS scores were significantly correlated with the endoscopic severity (Spearman correlation coefficients of general condition, bloody stools, stool form, and abdominal pain: 0.63, 0.64, 0.58, and 0.43, respectively). Mucosal healing defined as MES 0 alone was predicted by VAS score <1.5 on general condition or 0 on bloody stools with sensitivity of 0.84 and 0.76 and specificity of 0.66 and 0.76, respectively. Additionally, VAS score <2.5 on stool form predicted active lesions in distal colorectum alone with sensitivity of 0.67 and specificity of 0.66, suggesting that this item could predict the indication of topical therapy. Conclusions Self-reported VAS scores on symptoms were correlated with endoscopic activity of UC. To clarify the relationship between VAS and mucosal healing, further validation studies are needed.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, with increasing prevalence worldwide. IBD Ahead is an international educational program that aims to explore questions commonly raised by clinicians about various areas of IBD care and to consolidate available published evidence and expert opinion into a consensus for the optimization of IBD management. Given differences in the epidemiology, clinical and genetic characteristics, management, and prognosis of IBD between patients in Japan and the rest of the world, this statement was formulated as the result of literature reviews and discussions among Japanese experts as part of the IBD Ahead program to consolidate statements of factors for disease prognosis in IBD. Evidence levels were assigned to summary statements in the following categories: disease progression in CD and UC; surgery, hospitalization, intestinal failure, and permanent stoma in CD; acute severe UC; colectomy in UC; and colorectal carcinoma and dysplasia in IBD. The goal is that this statement can aid in the optimization of the treatment strategy for Japanese patients with IBD and help identify high-risk patients that require early intervention, to provide a better long-term prognosis in these patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder involving mainly the intestinal tract, but possibly other gastrointestinal and extraintestinal organs. Although etiology is still uncertain, recent knowledge in pathogenesis has accumulated, and novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities have become available for clinical use. Therefore, the previous guidelines were urged to be updated. In 2016, the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology revised the previous versions of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) in Japanese. A total of 59 clinical questions for 9 categories (1. clinical features of IBD; 2. diagnosis; 3. general consideration in treatment; 4. therapeutic interventions for IBD; 5. treatment of UC; 6. treatment of CD; 7. extraintestinal complications; 8. cancer surveillance; 9. IBD in special situation) were selected, and a literature search was performed for the clinical questions with use of the MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Igaku Chuo Zasshi databases. The guidelines were developed with the basic concept of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Recommendations were made using Delphi rounds. This English version was produced and edited based on the existing updated guidelines in Japanese.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fermented milk products containing Bifidobacterium breve strain Yakult (BFM) may improve clinical status in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. AIMS To assess efficacy of BFM in maintaining remission in Japanese patients with quiescent UC. METHODS This double-blind study (B-FLORA) enrolled 195 patients with quiescent UC, randomized to receive one pack of BFM fermented milk per day [Bifidobacterium breve strain Yakult (10 billion bacteria) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (1 billion bacteria)] (n = 98) or matching placebo (n = 97) for 48 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was relapse-free survival (relapse: rectal bleeding score ≥ 2 on Sutherland disease activity index scale for 3 consecutive days and/or initiation of remission induction therapy for worsening of UC). RESULTS An interim analysis was conducted after inclusion and follow-up of one-third of patients for the first phase of the study (n = 195). Relapse-free survival was not significantly different between the BFM and placebo groups (P = 0.643; hazard ratio 1.16; 95% CI 0.63-2.14, log-rank test), nor was the incidence of relapse. Therefore, the study was discontinued for lack of efficacy. An exploratory analysis of fecal samples from a subgroup of patients revealed no effects of either study beverage on intestinal microbiota, but there was a significant decrease in Bifidobacterium species before relapse, regardless of treatment group. Three mild adverse events occurred for which a causal relationship with the study beverage could not be ruled out (placebo: abdominal bloating and stress in one patient; BFM: body odor in one patient). CONCLUSIONS BFM had no effect on time to relapse in UC patients compared with placebo. STUDY REGISTRATION UMIN000007593.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The risk of developing colorectal cancer is higher in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) than in the general population. Guidelines recommend surveillance colonoscopy (SCS) to reduce mortality; however, few studies have assessed physicians' adherence to guidelines. This study was aimed to clarify the current status of SCS and adherence to guidelines through the characteristics of cancer/dysplasia surveillance for UC patients in Japan. METHODS A questionnaire was mailed to 541 physicians who attended meetings on inflammatory bowel disease. RESULTS The respondents encountered a median of 100 UC cases. Thirty percent of the respondents had never managed a UC patient with cancer. Fifty-one percent of the respondents had never diagnosed colorectal cancer with UC. Forty-seven percent of the respondents considered extensive colitis and left-sided colitis as indications for SCS, and 38% carried out SCS regardless of the disease extent. Sixty-three percent of the respondents started SCS at 7-10 years after UC onset, whereas 20% started SCS at 3 years or less. Fifty-two percent of the respondents obtained targeted biopsies only, and chromoendoscopy was used by 49% of the respondents as a special technique for surveillance. Median number of biopsies at SCS was five per patient; it was three among patients whose biopsy was carried out by physicians who obtained targeted biopsies only and seven among those carried out by physicians who obtained step biopsies and targeted biopsies (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION A considerable proportion of the respondents did not follow the guidelines when selecting patients for surveillance and carrying out SCS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with an intractable, recurrent course. Although the goal of UC therapy has recently been to target mucosal healing, the molecular mechanism of mucosal healing remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular dynamics related to the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells during cytapheresis therapy in a short duration. METHODS Endoscopy was performed in 26 patients with UC in multicentre hospitals, and biopsy specimens were collected from the rectum before and within two weeks after leukocytapheresis (LCAP). The expression of representative proteins in intestinal epithelial cells and pathological findings was compared before and after LCAP. RESULTS The expression of caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX2) and a hes family bHLH transcription factor 1(HES1) markedly increased after LCAP. Patients with endoscopic improvement after LCAP showed the expression of CDX2 before LCAP. Moreover, the number of goblet cells significantly increased after LCAP. Patients without endoscopic improvement after LCAP did not show the expression of CDX2 before LCAP. However, the expression of CDX2 markedly increased after LCAP. CONCLUSION This study suggests that cytapheresis might induce CDX2 expression without affecting the cell proliferation, thus resulting in mucosal healing with goblet cell restoration.
