Purpose: Evaluate whether the daily intake of synbiotics improves symptoms and rectal/systemic inflammatory response in patients with radiation-induced acute proctitis. Methods and Materials: Twenty patients who underwent three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for prostate cancer
BACKGROUND
The prognosis of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) has previously been described with regard to mortality, cancer occurrence, and need for colectomy on the basis of an annual follow-up of a regional cohort of UC patients in Copenhagen County diagnosed in 1962-87. The objective of this
Background: Subtotal colectomy with end ileostomy (STC-I) has been well established in the adult literature as an initial surgical treatment for refractory inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related colitis. However, in the pediatric
Although radiation enteritis is a well-recognized sequel of therapeutic irradiation, the standard surgical method is not universally agreed upon. Not only the short-term effect but also the long-term effect after a surgical intervention has been fairly well reported. To reassess the surgical therapy
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the application of staged ileostomy and closure operation combined with nutritional support therapy in the treatment of chronic radiation intestinal injury(CRII).
METHODS
Clinical data of patients with definite radiation history and pathological diagnosis of CRII receiving
We estimated the extent of the inflammatory mucosal lesion by colonoscopy and biopsy in 60 patients with their first attack of ulcerative colitis. Proctitis was found in 12, proctosigmoiditis in 19, left-sided colitis in 10, and extensive colitis in 19. Fourteen clinical variables and laboratory
BACKGROUND A dramatic rise in the rate of clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been reported in recent years. METHODS In this observational case control study, 65 patients were included and were divided into two groups of IBD + CDI as
Fecal calprotectin level in ulcerative colitis patients is correlated with endoscopic findings. However, its association with various ulcerative colitis disease types has not been elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the correlation of fecal calprotectin level with endoscopic findings
OBJECTIVE
Serum biomarkers are commonly used for diagnosing and monitoring the disease activity of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. However, their role in predicting active mucosal inflammation on Chinese patients is unknown. Our aim was to determine the sensitivity and correlation of these
METHODS
The retrograde spread of two budesonide enema formulations with different viscosities was investigated. The study design was open, randomized and two-period crossover. Three female and two male patients (age range: 35-45 years) with distal ulcerative colitis or proctitis participated. Both
Oxidative stress and depletion of antioxidants may play a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related intestinal damage. A new automated assay for the determination of blood total antioxidant capacity (TAC), based on the crocin bleaching method, has been used for the
