ROLE OF CHEMERIN IN THE PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES

Chemerin belongs to adipokines, which are proteins secreted by white adipose tissue. It has important role in angiogenesis, metabolism and correlates with severity of inflammation. The study aimed to investigate the correlation between the serum level … Continue reading

SMALL-BOWEL CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE TYPE UNCLASSIFIED

Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with no unique, gold standard diagnostic test. UC and Crohn’s colitis are in approximately 10% of cases impossible to be distinguished. The term IBD type … Continue reading

INHIBITION OF DAPK3, PINPOINTED AS A KEY FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COLITIS-ASSOCIATED DYSPLASIA, INCREASES SEVERITY OF DSS-INDUCED COLITIS VIA HIPPO SIGNALING

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a progressive disorder that elevates the risk of cancer development through a colitis-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence. Recent evidence demonstrates the necessity of Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling, interceded by cytoskeletal remodeling,… Continue reading

FECAL METABOLOMIC ANALYSIS OF SERT DEFICIENT MICE UNDER BASAL CONDITIONS AND CHRONIC COLITIS

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic inflammatory multifactorial diseases caused by genetic, immune, and environmental factors. A decrease in intestinal serotonin transporter (SERT), which controls the extracellular availability of serotonin … Continue reading

COLON SPECIFIC ROLE FOR SELENOPROTEIN P IN COLITIS AND COLITIS-ASSOCIATED CARCINOMA

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element incorporated into selenoproteins (SEPs), which provide a broad scope of antioxidant functions. Se status inversely correlates with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) severity, and animal models have shown that … Continue reading

GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TO IBD OPERATES VIA CONTROL OF APICAL JUNCTIONAL COMPLEXES

Intestinal permeability is increased in unaffected 1st degree relatives of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and is considered a risk factor for the development of IBD, likely increasing the interactions between intestinal microorganisms … Continue reading

IDENTIFYING INADEQUATE RESPONSE AMONG ULCERATIVE COLITIS PATIENTS ON AN ADVANCED THERAPY IN A REAL-WORLD ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS DATABASE

The purpose of this analysis was to assess the frequency of inadequate response (IR) over 1 year from advanced therapy (AT) initiation among ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in the United States using a claims-based algorithm. Baseline factors associat… Continue reading

DIFFERENTIAL MANIFESTATIONS OF INLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (IBD) BASED ON RAGE AND IMMIGRATION STATUS

The increasing incidence of IBD globally presents an important opportunity to study intrinsic and environmental determinants of disease development. We examined how race and immigration status influence IBD manifestations, treatments, and outcomes in a… Continue reading

EFFECT OF OZANIMOD ON FECAL CALPROTECTIN AND FECAL LACTOFERRIN, BIOMARKERS OF INTESTINAL INFLAMMATION, IN THE PHASE 2 TOUCHSTONE STUDY OF PATIENTS WITH MODERATE-TO-SEVERE ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Efficacy and safety of ozanimod, an oral sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator selectively targeting S1P1 and S1P5, was previously demonstrated in the double-blind phase 2 TOUCHSTONE study (NCT01647516) in patients with moderate-to-severe ul… Continue reading
