Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) patients demonstrate distinct intestinal microbial compositions and metabolic characteristics compared to unaffected controls. However, the impact of inflammation and underlying genetic risk on these microbial profiles and their relationship to disease phenotype are unclear. We used lavage sampling to characterize the colonic mucosal-luminal interface (MLI) microbiome of CD patients in endoscopic remission and unaffected controls relative to obesity, disease genetics, and phenotype. METHODS Cecum and sigmoid colon were sampled from 110 non-CD controls undergoing screening colonoscopy who were stratified by body mass index and 88 CD patients in endoscopic remission (396 total samples). CD polygenic risk score (GRS) was calculated using 186 known CD variants. MLI pellets were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing, and supernatants by untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS CD and obesity were each associated with decreased cecal and sigmoid MLI bacterial diversity and distinct bacterial composition compared to controls, including expansion of Escherichia/Shigella. Cecal and sigmoid dysbiosis indices for CD were significantly greater in obese controls than non-overweight controls. CD, but not obesity, was characterized by altered biogeographic relationship between the sigmoid and cecum. GRS was associated with select taxonomic shifts that overlapped with changes seen in CD compared to controls including Fusobacterium enrichment. Stricturing or penetrating Crohn's disease behavior was characterized by lower MLI bacterial diversity and altered composition, including reduced Faecalibacterium, compared to uncomplicated CD. Taxonomic profiles including reduced Parasutterella were associated with clinical disease progression over a mean follow-up of 3.7 years. Random forest classifiers using MLI bacterial abundances could distinguish disease state (area under the curve (AUC) 0.93), stricturing or penetrating Crohn's disease behavior (AUC 0.82), and future clinical disease progression (AUC 0.74). CD patients showed alterations in the MLI metabolome including increased cholate:deoxycholate ratio compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS Obesity, CD in endoscopic remission, and high CD genetic risk have overlapping colonic mucosal-luminal interface (MLI) microbiome features, suggesting a shared microbiome contribution to CD and obesity which may be influenced by genetic factors. Microbial profiling during endoscopic remission predicted Crohn's disease behavior and progression, supporting that MLI sampling could offer unique insight into CD pathogenesis and provide novel prognostic biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some cases of idiopathic fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (f-NSIP) show a progressive course that is similar to that of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. However, it is difficult to predict poor patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate whether serial changes in serum levels of Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) and surfactant protein-D (SP-D) can predict disease progression. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 75 patients with idiopathic f-NSIP. Disease behavior was categorized into two groups depending on long-term change of pulmonary function: progressive type (≥5%/year relative decline in the slope of forced vital capacity [FVC] and/or ≥7.5%/year relative decline in the slope of %diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide [%DLCO]) and stable type. Levels of KL-6 and SP-D and results of pulmonary function tests, which were performed parallelly, were reviewed and analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. RESULTS The study subjects comprised 62 patients with stable type and 13 patients with progressive type disease behavior. Among these subjects, 50 patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF). Serum levels of both KL-6 and SP-D at baseline showed a negative correlation with %DLCO, but not with FVC, and these biomarkers were not related to disease progression. Persistently high levels of KL-6 and SP-D correlated with progressive type disease behavior in idiopathic (non-IPAF) f-NSIP. CONCLUSIONS Changes in serum KL-6 and SP-D levels over time may provide useful predictive information on disease behavior during treatment in patients with idiopathic f-NSIP and especially in those with non-IPAF f-NSIP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive cancers with high metastatic potential. Clinical observations suggest that there is disease heterogeneity among patients with different sites of distant metastases, yielding distinct clinical outcomes. Herein, we investigate the impact of clinical and pathological parameters on recurrence patterns and compare survival outcomes for patients with a first site of recurrence in the liver versus lung from PDAC following original curative surgical resection. METHODS Using the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ICD billing codes and tumor registry database over a 10 years period (January 2004-December 2014), we identified PDAC patients who underwent resection and subsequently presented with either liver or lung recurrence. Time from relapse to death (TRD) was calculated from date of recurrence to date of death. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, TRD was estimated and compared by recurrence site using log-rank test. RESULTS The median overall follow-up was 37.3 months among survivors in the entire cohort. Median TRD in this cohort was 10.7 months (95%CI: 8.9-14.6 months). Patients with first site of lung recurrence had a more favorable outcome compared to patients who recurred with liver metastasis as the first site of recurrence (median TRD of 15 versus 9 months respectively, P = 0.02). Moderate to poorly or poor differentiation was associated more often with liver than lung recurrence (40% vs 21% respectively, P = 0.047). A trend to increased lymph node metastasis in the lung recurrence cohort was observed. CONCLUSION PDAC patients who recur with a first site of lung metastasis have an improved clinical outcome compared to patients with first site of liver recurrence. Our data suggests there may be epidemiologic and pathologic determinants related to patterns of recurrence in PDAC.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and devastating disease with a median survival time of 2-3 years after diagnosis. Patients with IPF exhibit distinct patterns of disease progression, and some patients display a more rapidly progressive clinical course. The clinical course of IPF may also include periods of acute deterioration, which are termed acute exacerbations. Patients with IPF frequently experience various comorbidities, such as pulmonary infection, emphysema, pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer, gastroesophageal reflux, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea. A previous age- and sex-matched study showed that IPF itself was an independent risk factor for these comorbidities. Other studies have demonstrated that these comorbidities are associated with disease progression and mortality in IPF. These variations in the clinical course and comorbidities have affected the researchers' and physicians' understanding of IPF. Therefore, better identification and understanding of these variations may be helpful when making decisions regarding therapeutic interventions. Furthermore, the identification and treatment of comorbidities may have a clinically significant impact on patient survival. Future studies should use well-established definitions for distinct progression patterns and comorbid conditions to obtain greater insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of IPF.

Abstract
AIM: To analyze the difference in disease course and need for surgery in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD).
METHODS: Data of 506 patients with incident CD were analyzed (age at diagnosis: 31.5 ± 13.8 years). Both hospital and outpatient records were collected prospectively with a complete clinical follow-up and comprehensively reviewed in the population-based Veszprem province database, which includes incident CD patients diagnosed between January 1, 1977 and December 31, 2008. Follow-up data were collected until December 31, 2009. All patients included had at least 1 year of follow-up available. Patients with indeterminate colitis at diagnosis were excluded from the analysis.
RESULTS: Overall, 73 patients (14.4%) required resective surgery within 1 year of diagnosis. Steroid exposure and need for biological therapy were lower in patients with early limited surgery (P < 0.001 and P = 0.09). In addition, surgery rates during follow-up in patients with and without early surgery differed significantly after matching on propensity scores (P < 0.001, HR = 0.23). The need for reoperation was also lower in patients with early limited resective surgery (P = 0.038, HR = 0.42) in a Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression (P = 0.04) analysis. However, this advantage was not observed after matching on propensity scores (PLogrank = 0.656, PBreslow = 0.498).
CONCLUSION: Long-term surgery rates and overall exposure to steroids and biological agents were lower in patients with early limited resective surgery, but reoperation rates did not differ.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the evolution of disease phenotype in adult and pediatric onset Crohn’s disease (CD) populations, diagnosed between 1977 and 2008.
METHODS: Data of 506 incident CD patients were analyzed (age at diagnosis: 28.5 years, interquartile range: 22-38 years). Both in- and outpatient records were collected prospectively with a complete clinical follow-up and comprehensively reviewed in the population-based Veszprem province database, which included incident patients diagnosed between January 1, 1977 and December 31, 2008 in adult and pediatric onset CD populations. Disease phenotype according to the Montreal classification and long-term disease course was analysed according to the age at onset in time-dependent univariate and multivariate analysis.
RESULTS: Among this population-based cohort, seventy-four (12.8%) pediatric-onset CD patients were identified (diagnosed ≤ 17 years of age). There was no significant difference in the distribution of disease behavior between pediatric (B1: 62%, B2: 15%, B3: 23%) and adult-onset CD patients (B1: 56%, B2: 21%, B3: 23%) at diagnosis, or during follow-up. Overall, the probability of developing complicated disease behaviour was 49.7% and 61.3% in the pediatric and 55.1% and 62.4% in the adult onset patients after 5- and 10-years of follow-up. Similarly, time to change in disease behaviour from non stricturing, non penetrating (B1) to complicated, stricturing or penetrating (B2/B3) disease was not significantly different between pediatric and adult onset CD in a Kaplan-Meier analysis. Calendar year of diagnosis (P = 0.04), ileal location (P < 0.001), perianal disease (P < 0.001), smoking (P = 0.038) and need for steroids (P < 0.001) were associated with presence of, or progression to, complicated disease behavior at diagnosis and during follow-up. A change in disease location was observed in 8.9% of patients and it was associated with smoking status (P = 0.01), but not with age at diagnosis.
CONCLUSION: Long-term evolution of disease behavior was not different in pediatric- and adult-onset CD patients in this population-based cohort but was associated to location, perianal disease and smoking status.

Abstract
There have been multiple NOD2/CARD15 genotype-phenotype analyses undertaken in patients with Crohn's disease since the gene’s discovery in 2001. This review focuses on the major published series based upon their size and on the presence of specific clinical and genetic information provided in the published material from 2001 to 2005. Twelve studies provided raw data to carry out comparisons of disease location while ten studies included analysis of NOD2/CARD15 genotypes. NOD2/CARD15 variant frequency in ileal disease did not differ significantly among studies, whereas a comparison of disease location demonstrated highly significant differences among studies. Meta-analysis confirmed significant associations between NOD2/CARD15 variants and both ileal and ileocolonic disease locations, and with both stricturing and penetrating forms of disease behavior. This review underlines the significant phenotypic differences that exist among populations, including similar ethnic groups, and has demonstrated the need for further studies of patients with long-term “inflammatory” Crohn’s disease.
