BONE LOSS I INFLAMMATORI BOWEL DISEASE: OUR MULTICENTRIC STUDY
2011
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk of developing disorder in bone and mineral metabolism. The study was aimed to determine if inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a risk factor for osteoporosis in 103 adult patients. We included 103 IBD patients, 67 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and 36 with ulcerative colitisi (UC). Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. we used T score to express bone loss (osteopenia: -25SD 2 years) and active disease would be risk of bone mineral loss in IBD.
TARGETED THERAPIES FOR INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES AND COLORECTAL CANCER: AN INCREASING NEED FOR MICROBIOTA-INTESTINAL MUTUALISM
2015
The involvement of intestinal microbiota and dysbiosis in the pathogenesis for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) is a well-established factto be taken into real consideration when developing targeted therapies. This review aims to depict how advances in our understanding of the role of intestinal flora in the pathogenesis of IBD and CRC are shaping up the therapeutic protocols of their management. It is demonstrated of their management. It is demostrated that there is a circadian regulation of colocyte gene expression in response to microbiota. Dysbiosis leading to a decrease in microbiome biodiversity is also described in IBD patients in IBD patients whereby thic…
NUTRACEUTICALS IMPROVE EXPERIMENTAL COLITIS: PLACE OF CATECHINS IN THE 2,4,6-TRINITROBENZENE SULFONIC ACID MODEL RATS
2017
Background: Nutraceuticals provide added health benefits for inflammatory bowel disese (IBD) and Epigallocatechin-3-galate (EGCG), a green tea catechin, has been shown to possess such anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. Aim: To evaluate the molecular modulation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF_alpha), nuclear factor Kappa Beta (NF-Kbeta), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) by EGCG on experimental colitis. Matherial and Methods: Thirthy five male sprague-dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Normal control group (n=5), EGCG group (n=9), TNBS group (n=9), and TNBS + EGCG group (n=12). For both TNBS and EGCG treated groups, 1 mg/Kg EGCG was administered d…
Modulation of mucin 2 and mucin 3 in colitis induced by iodoacetamide and enteropathogenic bacteria in rats
2016
The iinate and acquired immune systems are both implicarted in the etiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in addition to the genetic predisposition, the environmental factors and the intestinal flora covering the mucosa. A defect in the mucous covering will lead to an invasion of pathogens and stimulation of the immuune response with aberrations of mucin 2, the major mucin of the mucous layer. Aim: this study aims to assess the modulation of colonic MUC 2 and MUC 3 in a arat model of IBD induced by a combination of iodoacetamide and enteropatogenic E. Coli. Methods: 78 sprague-Dawley female rats were divided into 4 groups. Each group was subjeceted, on a basis, to a rectal injection o…
NUTRITION IN IBD PATIENTS
2013
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder characterized by a relapsing-remitting course, which alternates between active and quiescent states, ultimately impairing a patients' quality of life.The two main types of IBD are Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). CD Shows a transmural granulomatous inflammation that can involve any segment of the intestine affecting all layers of the intestinal wall, while UC is limited to the mucosa and superficial submucosa of the colon. In physiological conditions the gut is costantly exposed to various antigens, commensal microflora and pathogens and the inflammatory response is finely balanced. Anyhow i some individuals with geneti…
AMYLOIDOSIS AND INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE: FACT OR MITH?
2017
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes both Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) are common in patients with IBD, and occur in 6-47% of patients with CD or UC. EIM can involve organs other than the gastrointestinal tract such as skin, eyes, joints, biliary tract and kidneis. Renal and urinary involvement particularly occurs in 4-23% of patients with IBD. Among the renal complications of IBD, seconfary amyloidosis (AA-type, AAA) is a rare but serious complication. renal amyloidosis has been proven to be the most common lethal manifestation of IBD-ass…
CROHN'S DISEASE AND EXTRAINTESTINAL GRANULOMATOUS LESIONS
2018
Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease with a multifactorial etiology. Clinical features include mucosal erosion, diarrhea, weight loss and other complications such as formation of granuloma. in CD, granuloma is a non-neoplastic epithelioid lesio, formed by a compact aggregate of histiocytes with the absence of a central necrosis, however, the correlation amomg CD and the formation of granulomas is unknown. Many casesof granulomas in the extracellular site, related to Cd, have been reported in the literature. These granulomas, at times, rapresented the only visible manifestation of the pathology. extra intestinal granuloma have been found on ovaries, lungs, male genitalia, fe…
An innate cell-mediated, murine ulcerative colitis-like syndrome in the absence of nuclear factor of activated T cells.
2004
Abstract Background & Aims: Nuclear factor of activated T cells transcription factors plays a central role in immunity by regulating the expression of multiple cytokines and other regulatory molecules, many of which have been heavily implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. However, few studies have directly investigated the nuclear factor of activated T cells proteins in inflammatory bowel disease. We describe here a specific role for nuclear factor of activated T cells c2 in the pathogenesis of murine inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: Mice deficient for nuclear factor of activated T cells c2, recombinase activating gene-2, or both and transgenic or nontransgenic fo…
Regulation of T-cell apoptosis in inflammatory bowel disease: to die or not to die, that is the mucosal question.
2001
T-cell resistance against apoptosis contributes to inappropriate T-cell accumulation and the perpetuation of chronic mucosal inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Anti-interleukin-12 (IL-12) and anti-IL-6 receptor antibodies suppress colitis activity by the induction of T-cell apoptosis. These findings have important implications for the design of effective treatment regimens in IBD.
