Formulation and Development of Novel Sulfasalazine Bilayer Tablets for The Treatment of Arthritis Associated With IBD: In-vitro and In-vivo Investigations. J Pharm Sci 2024; 113:1919-1926. [PMID: 38401631 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2024.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Sulfasalazine needs frequent daily dosing and the administration of numerous tablets per day pose challenges to patient compliance, contributing to increased adverse effects and difficulties in disease control. These inconveniences result in less effective treatment for arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease i.e. ulcerative colitis etc. To improve drug bioavailability, a delayed-release mechanism that releases the drug at the colon is necessary. To develop and optimize colon-targeted controlled release bilayer tablets coated with pH-dependent polymers. The bilayer tablets containing the immediate release part and sustained release part were developed. The tablets were coated with enteric-coated with Eudragit® S-100 and l-100 to achieve release in the colon. Granule properties and tablets were evaluated. The physicochemical parameters of the tablets were evaluated including, stability study, and drug release in 0.1 N HCl (pH 1.2), pH 6.8 phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 phosphate buffer for 2, 1, and up to 24 h respectively. Radiographic imaging and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies were also done in Rabbits. The bilayer tablets containing immediate and sustained release were successfully developed for the colon targeting. The granule properties were found within the acceptable range indicating good flow properties. The physicochemical properties of the tablets were also found acceptable. The tablets did not show release in 0.1 N HCl and 6.8 phosphate buffer but drug release was found under control in the 7.4 pH buffer. Sulfasalazine coated bilayer tablets were found stable and no significant changes were observed in the stability studies. Based on the X-ray studies, the formulated tablet remained discernible in the stomach, small intestine, and colon for a duration of up to 24 h. Finally, by the 32nd hour, the tablet was no longer visible in the X-ray examination, leading to the conclusion of complete drug release. The drug concentration in plasma remained within the therapeutic range for up to 24 h in vivo. These novel formulations present substantial advantages, providing prolonged targeted drug release and reducing systemic adverse effects. The results suggest promising potential for treating arthritis in Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, offering a solution to current delivery systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Calprotectin is elevated in saliva from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, but it is also affected by oral disease. We assessed the salivary concentration of calprotectin in IBD patients, in relation to intestinal and oral diseases. Furthermore, we investigated the phenotype of salivary neutrophils from IBD patients, and their ability to secrete calprotectin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty IBD patients and 26 controls were orally examined and sampled for stimulated saliva. Twenty-five IBD patients provided fresh fecal samples. Calprotectin concentrations in saliva and feces were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of CD11b, CD15, and CD16 on oral neutrophils was assessed by flow cytometry. Secretion of calprotectin was evaluated in cultured oral neutrophils. RESULTS Calprotectin was significantly elevated in saliva of IBD patients compared to controls, particularly in Crohn's disease, irrespective of caries or periodontitis. Salivary calprotectin did not correlate to fecal calprotectin. CD11b expression was significantly reduced in salivary neutrophils from IBD patients. Salivary neutrophils from IBD patients tended to secrete more calprotectin than controls. CONCLUSIONS Salivary calprotectin is elevated in IBD regardless of oral diseases. Furthermore, salivary neutrophils secrete calprotectin, and display lower CD11b expression in IBD.

Abstract
Background Stigma is assumed to lead to negative illness identity in one who got chronic illness, and there is a lack of understanding regarding the underly mechanisms. However, no research has examined the extent to which stigma was associated with illness identity in people with IBD. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between stigma and illness identity, specifically to examine whether resilience mediated or moderated the relationship. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed among patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease from three tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China. Measurement instruments included the Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI), the Resilience Scale for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (RS-IBD), and the Illness Identity questionnaire (IIQ). Mediation and moderated mediation analyses were conducted. Results A total of 322 patients with IBD were involved in the current study. We observed that there was a strong connection between stigma and rejection and engulfment. Moreover, resilience played a partial or complete mediating role in stigma and engulfment, acceptance and enrichment, and resilience moderates the relationship between stigma and rejection. Conclusion The current study examined whether resilience mediated or moderated the relationship between stigma and illness identity. These finding add to the theoretical basis of how stigma influences illness identity and help guide the resilience into engulfment reduction programs for IBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the risk for eye diseases in individuals with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and to assess whether silica dust-exposure could contribute to the development of inflammatory eye diseases. METHODS A case-control study was conducted using a patient register processed by the National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW) and Statistics Sweden. Cases were diagnosed with UC between 2007 and 2016. Matching was done with two random controls having the same age, sex and county of residence, without a systemic inflammatory disease. Using a job-exposure matrix, cases and controls were assessed for work-related silica dust exposure. The risk for eye disease was estimated by Cox regression analysis with calculation of Hazard Ratio (HR). RESULTS A total of 58 989 individuals were included, comprising 19 663 cases and 39 326 controls. The sex distribution was similar. Overall, individuals with UC had an increased risk for eye disease, specified in ICD 10 chapter VII (H00-H59) with HR 1.25 (CI 1.20-1.32). The highest HR on block-level for cases was 1.52 (CI 1.36-1.70), (H15-H22), which includes episcleritis, keratitis and anterior uveitis. The risk for ocular disease was higher in silica dust-exposed than non-exposed with a HR of 1.44 (CI 1.16-1.78) and 1.25 (CI 1.19-1.31), respectively. Among cases, the risk for iridocyclitis (H20) was further elevated by silica dust exposure, with HR of 3.84 (CI 1.64-8.97) in exposed compared to 1.94 (1.57-2.41) in non-exposed. CONCLUSION UC is associated with an increased risk for eye diseases, including inflammatory conditions. Our findings highlight that silica dust-exposure may be of importance in the pathogenesis of uveitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) pose a significant threat in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Vedolizumab (VDZ) primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract. However, its impact on EIMs remains uncertain. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to examine the effects of VDZ on EIMs during treatment. METHODS Relevant studies were identified by conducting thorough searches across electronic databases, including PubMed, Ovid Embase, Medline, and Cochrane CENTRAL. Primary outcomes focused on the proportion of patients with resolution for pre-existing EIMs in IBD patients receiving VDZ. Secondary outcomes included the proportion of patients with EIM exacerbations and new onset EIMs during VDZ treatment. RESULTS Our meta-analysis encompassed 21 studies. The proportion of patients with resolution of pre-existing EIMs in VDZ-treated IBD patients was 39% (150/386; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.31-0.48). The proportion of patients with EIM exacerbations occurred at a rate of 28% (113/376; 95% CI 0.05-0.50), while new onset EIMs had a rate of 15% (397/2541; 95% CI 0.10-0.20). Subgroup analysis revealed a 40% (136/337) proportion of patients with resolution for articular-related EIMs and a 50% (9/18) rate for erythema nodosum. Exacerbation rates for arthritis/arthralgia, erythema nodosum/pyoderma gangrenosum, and aphthous stomatitis during VDZ use were 28% (102/328), 18% (7/38), and 11% (3/28), respectively. The incidence rate of newly developed EIMs during treatment was 11% (564/4839) for articular-related EIMs, with other EIMs below 2%. CONCLUSION VDZ demonstrates efficacy in skin-related EIMs like erythema nodosum and joint-related EIMs including arthritis, arthralgia, spondyloarthritis, and peripheral joint diseases. Some joint and skin-related EIMs may experience exacerbation during VDZ therapy.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a rheumatic disease that causes inflammation and bone formation in the spine. Despite significant advances in treatment, adverse side effects have triggered research into natural compounds. Epimedium (EP) is a traditional Chinese herb with a variety of pharmacological activities, including antirheumatic, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities; however, its direct effects on AS treatment and the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been systematically studied. Thus, here, we used network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations to explore the targets of EP for treating AS. We constructed an interaction network to elucidate the complex relationship between EP and AS. Sixteen active ingredients in EP were screened; 80 potential targets were identified. In particular, 8-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-2-phenylchromone, anhydroicaritin, and luteolin were the core components and TNF, IL-6, IL-1β, MMP9, and PTGS2 were the core targets. The GO and KEGG analyses indicated that EP may modulate multiple biological processes and pathways, including the AGE-RAGE, TNF, NF-κB/MAPK, and TLR signaling pathways, for AS treatment. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations showed good affinity between the active components and core targets of EP, with stable binding within 100 nanoseconds. In particular, 8-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-2-phenylchromone possessed the highest free energy of binding to PTGS2 and TNF (-115.575 and - 87.676 kcal/mol, respectively). Thus, EP may affect AS through multiple pathways, including the alleviation of inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune responses. In summary, we identified the active components and potential targets of EP, highlighting new strategies for the further experimental validation and exploration of lead compounds for treating AS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulated T lymphocyte response is thought to play a key role in chronic intestinal inflammation (CIE). OBJECTIVES To evaluate the presence of changes in peripheral and intestinal T lymphocyte subsets and to describe potential immune and inflammatory biomarkers in dogs with CIE. ANIMALS Sixteen healthy dogs and 26 dogs were diagnosed with CIE. METHODS Prospective case-control study evaluating peripheral and intestinal T lymphocytes using flow cytometry and inflammatory markers obtained from complete blood cell counts. RESULTS Dogs with CIE had higher peripheral activated T helper (Th) lymphocytes (87/μL [18-273] CIE, 44/μL [16-162] healthy control (HC, P = .013) and regulatory T cells (Treg; 108/μL [2-257] CIE, 34/μL [1-114] HC, P = .004). In the intestinal epithelium, CIE dogs presented lower percentages of Th (4.55% [1.75-18.67] CIE, 8.77% [3.79-25.03] HC, P = .002), activated Th cells (0.16% [0.02-0.83] CIE, 0.33% [0.05-0.57] HC, P = .03) and CD4/CD8 ratio (0.08 [0.02-0.39] CIE, 0.21 [0.07-0.85] HC, P = .003). Conversely, higher percentage of activated T cytotoxic cells (20.24% [3.12-77.12] CIE, 12.32% [1.21-39.22] HC, P = .04) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) producing T lymphocytes (7.36% [0.63-55.83] CIE, 1.44% [0.00-10.56] HC, P = .01) within the epithelium was observed. In the lamina propria the percentage of Treg lymphocytes was higher (6.02% [1.00-21.48] CIE, 3.52% [0.18-10.52] HC, P = .02). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Systemic and intestinal immune alterations occur in dogs with CIE suggesting that blood IFN-γ producing T lymphocytes and the systemic immune-inflamation index (SII) could potentially serve as biomarkers for the disease.

Abstract
Pomegranate seed oil, extracted from pomegranate seeds, is a slightly fragrant yellow oil with a mild odor. Pomegranate seed oil is the main source of punicic acid (conjugated linolenic acid). Punicic acid is a long-chain omega-5 polyunsaturated fatty acid and a conjugated α-linolenic acid molecule. This acid is thought to provide many health benefits. This study evaluated the potential of pomegranate seed oil to attenuate damage to liver and kidney tissues in an acetic acid-induced colitis model. 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: control, colitis, 0.4 ml/kg, and 0.8 ml/kg pomegranate seed oil treatment after colitis. At the end of the experiment, histopathological and immunohistochemistry analyses of liver and kidney tissues were performed. Pomegranate seed oil treatment reduced damage in liver and kidney tissues, suppressed NF-κB activation, and regulated apoptosis. These findings support the potential effects of pomegranate seed oil against extraintestinal symptoms of colitis through its anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties.

Abstract
Most host-microbiota interactions occur within the intestinal barrier, which is essential for separating the intestinal epithelium from toxins, microorganisms, and antigens in the gut lumen. Gut inflammation allows pathogenic bacteria to enter the blood stream, forming immune complexes which may deposit on organs. Despite increased circulating immune complexes (CICs) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and discussions among IBD experts regarding their potential pathogenic role in extra-intestinal manifestations, this phenomenon is overlooked because definitive evidence demonstrating CIC-induced extra-intestinal manifestations in IBD animal models is lacking. However, clinical observations of elevated CICs in newly diagnosed, untreated patients with IBD have reignited research into their potential pathogenic implications. Musculoskeletal symptoms are the most prevalent extra-intestinal IBD manifestations. CICs are pivotal in various arthritis forms, including reactive, rheumatoid, and Lyme arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Research indicates that intestinal barrier restoration during the pre-phase of arthritis could inhibit arthritis development. In the absence of animal models supporting extra-intestinal IBD manifestations, this paper aims to comprehensively explore the relationship between CICs and arthritis onset via a multifaceted analysis to offer a fresh perspective for further investigation and provide novel insights into the interplay between CICs and arthritis development in IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) frequently develop extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that contribute substantially to morbidity. We assembled the largest multicohort data set to date to investigate the clinical, serologic, and genetic factors associated with EIM complications in IBD. METHODS Data were available in 12,083 unrelated European ancestry IBD cases with presence or absence of EIMs (eg, ankylosing spondylitis [ankylosing spondylitis and sacroiliitis], primary sclerosing cholangitis [PSC], peripheral arthritis, and skin and ocular manifestations) across 4 cohorts (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases IBD Genetics Consortium, Sinai Helmsley Alliance for Research Excellence Consortium, and Risk Stratification and Identification of Immunogenetic and Microbial Markers of Rapid Disease Progression in Children with Crohn's Disease cohort). Clinical and serologic parameters were analyzed by means of univariable and multivariable regression analyses using a mixed-effects model. Within-case logistic regression was performed to assess genetic associations. RESULTS Most EIMs occurred more commonly in female subjects (overall EIM: P = 9.0E-05, odds ratio [OR], 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.4), with CD (especially colonic disease location; P = 9.8E-09, OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.0), and in subjects who required surgery (both CD and UC; P = 3.6E-19, OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.5-1.9). Smoking increased risk of EIMs except for PSC, where there was a "protective" effect. Multiple serologic associations were observed, including with PSC (anti-nuclear cytoplasmic antibody; IgG and IgA, anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies; and anti-flagellin) and any EIM (anti-nuclear cytoplasmic antibody; IgG and IgA, anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies; and anti-Pseudomonas fluorescens-associated sequence). We identified genome-wide significant associations within major histocompatibility complex (ankylosing spondylitis and sacroiliitis, P = 1.4E-15; OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 2.0-3.1; PSC, P = 2.7E-10; OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 2.0-3.8; ocular, P = 2E-08, OR, 3.6; 95% CI, 2.3-5.6; and overall EIM, P = 8.4E-09; OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.7-2.9) and CPEB4 (skin, P = 2.7E-08; OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.3-1.8). Genetic associations implicated tumor necrosis factor, JAK-STAT, and IL6 as potential targets for EIMs. Contrary to previous reports, only 2% of our subjects had multiple EIMs and most co-occurrences were negatively correlated. CONCLUSIONS We have identified demographic, clinical, and genetic associations with EIMs that revealed underlying mechanisms and implicated novel and existing drug targets-important steps toward a more personalized approach to IBD management.

BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:77. [PMID: 38373892 PMCID: PMC10875759 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-024-03162-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have found that primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are closely associated. However, the direction and causality of their interactions remain unclear. Thus, this study employs Mendelian Randomization to explore whether there are causal associations of genetically predicted PSC with IBD. METHODS Genetic variants associated with the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PSC were used as instrumental variables. The statistics for IBD, including ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD) were derived from GWAS. Then, five methods were used to estimate the effects of genetically predicted PSC on IBD, including MR Egger, Weighted median (WM), Inverse variance weighted (IVW), Simple mode, and Weighted mode. Last, we also evaluated the pleiotropic effects, heterogeneity, and a leave-one-out sensitivity analysis that drives causal associations to confirm the validity of the analysis. RESULTS Genetically predicted PSC was significantly associated with an increased risk of UC, according to the study (odds ratio [OR] IVW= 1.0014, P<0.05). However, none of the MR methods found significant causal evidence of genetically predicted PSC in CD (All P>0.05). The sensitivity analysis results showed that the causal effect estimations of genetically predicted PSC on IBD were robust, and there was no horizontal pleiotropy or statistical heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS Our study corroborated a causal association between genetically predicted PSC and UC but did not between genetically predicted PSC and CD. Then, we identification of shared SNPs for PSC and UC, including rs3184504, rs9858213, rs725613, rs10909839, and rs4147359. More animal experiments and clinical observational studies are required to further clarify the underlying mechanisms of PSC and IBD.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1339971.

Abstract
Aplastic anemia (AA) and hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome are paradigms of autoimmune hematopoietic failure (AHF). Myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia are unequivocal myeloid neoplasms (MNs). Currently, AA is also known to be a clonal hematological disease. Genetic aberrations typically observed in MNs are detected in approximately one-third of AA patients. In AA patients harboring MN-related genetic aberrations, a poor response to immunosuppressive therapy (IST) and an increased risk of transformation to MNs occurring either naturally or after IST are predicted. Approximately 10%-15% of patients with severe AA transform the disease phenotype to MNs following IST, and in some patients, leukemic transformation emerges during or shortly after IST. Phenotypic transformations between AHF and MNs can occur reciprocally. A fraction of advanced MN patients experience an aplastic crisis during which leukemic blasts are repressed. The switch that shapes the disease phenotype is a change in the strength of extramedullary inflammation. Both AHF and MNs have an immune-active bone marrow (BM) environment (BME). In AHF patients, an inflamed BME can be evoked by infiltrated immune cells targeting neoplastic molecules, which contributes to the BM-specific autoimmune impairment. Autoimmune responses in AHF may represent an antileukemic mechanism, and inflammatory stressors strengthen antileukemic immunity, at least in a significant proportion of patients who have MN-related genetic aberrations. During active inflammatory episodes, normal and leukemic hematopoieses are suppressed, which leads to the occurrence of aplastic cytopenia and leukemic cell regression. The successful treatment of underlying infections mitigates inflammatory stress-related antileukemic activities and promotes the penetration of leukemic hematopoiesis. The effect of IST is similar to that of treating underlying infections. Investigating inflammatory stress-powered antileukemic immunity is highly important in theoretical studies and clinical practice, especially given the wide application of immune-activating agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of hematological neoplasms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are multifactorial chronic inflammatory disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract. However, a broad spectrum of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) is associated with IBD, affecting several organs and systems, such as the skin, musculoskeletal and hepatobiliary systems, and, not least, the eye. Approximately 10% of IBD patients can develop ocular EIMs (O-EIMs) with a higher prevalence in Crohn's disease (CD). Eye-redness, photophobia, pain, and blurred vision are the common symptoms, with a wide rate of severity and clinical impact on the quality of life. This narrative review aims to summarize the prevalence, pathogenesis, and current evidence-based management of O-EIMs, underlying the importance of a holistic approach and specialties collaboration for a prompt diagnosis and treatment. METHODS PubMed was searched up to December 2023 to identify relevant studies investigating the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and treatment of O-EIMs in IBD patients. RESULTS The mechanisms underlying O-EIMs are partially unknown, encompassing immune dysregulation, shared antigens between the eye and the gut, genetic predisposition, and systemic inflammation driven by high levels of interleukins and cytokines in IBD patients. The complexity of O-EIMs' pathogenesis reflects in the management of these conditions, varying from topical and systemic steroids to immunomodulatory molecules and biologic therapy, such as anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. A multidisciplinary approach is the backbone of the management of O-EIMs.

Abstract
The genetic background of inflammatory bowel disease, both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, has been known for more than 2 decades. In the last 20 years, genome-wide association studies have dramatically increased our knowledge on the genetics of inflammatory bowel disease with more than 200 risk genes having been identified. Paralleling this increasing knowledge, the armamentarium of inflammatory bowel disease medications has been growing constantly. With more available therapeutic options, treatment decisions become more complex, with still many patients experiencing a debilitating disease course and a loss of response to treatment over time. With a better understanding of the disease, more effective personalized treatment strategies are looming on the horizon. Genotyping has long been considered a strategy for treatment decisions, such as the detection of thiopurine S-methyltransferase and nudix hydrolase 15 polymorphisms before the initiation of azathioprine. However, although many risk genes have been identified in inflammatory bowel disease, a substantial impact of genetic risk assessment on therapeutic strategies and disease outcome is still missing. In this review, we discuss the genetic background of inflammatory bowel disease, with a particular focus on the latest advances in the field and their potential impact on management decisions.

Abstract
Although the exact cause of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still unknown, there is a lot of evidence to support the notion that it results from a combination of environmental factors, immune system issues, gut microbial changes, and genetic susceptibility. In recent years, the role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of IBD has drawn increasing attention. The regulation of IBD-related immunity, the preservation of the intestinal epithelial barrier, and autophagy are all significantly influenced by epigenetic factors. The most extensive epigenetic methylation modification of mammalian mRNA among them is N6-methyladenosine (m6A). It summarizes the general structure and function of the m6A regulating factors, as well as their complex effects on IBD by regulating the intestinal mucous barrier, intestine mucosal immunity, epidermal cell death, and intestinal microorganisms.This paper provides key insights for the future identification of potential new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects humans and several domestic animal species, including cats and dogs. In this study, we have analyzed duodenal organoids derived from canine IBD patients using quantitative proteomics. Our objective was to investigate whether these organoids show phenotypic traits of the disease compared with control organoids obtained from healthy donors. To this aim, IBD and control organoids were subjected to quantitative proteomics analysis via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The obtained data revealed notable differences between the two groups. The IBD organoids exhibited several alterations at the levels of multiple proteins that are consistent with some known IBD alterations. The observed phenotype in the IBD organoids to some degree mirrors the corresponding intestinal condition, rendering them a compelling approach for investigating the disease and advancing drug exploration. Additionally, our study revealed similarities to some human IBD biomarkers, further emphasizing the translational and comparative value of dogs for future investigations related to the causes and treatment of IBD. Relevant proteins such as CALU, FLNA, MSN and HMGA2, which are related to intestinal diseases, were all upregulated in the IBD duodenal organoids. At the same time, other proteins such as intestinal keratins and the mucosal immunity PIGR were depleted in these IBD organoids. Based on these findings, we propose that these organoids could serve as a valuable tool for evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic interventions against canine IBD.

Association between inflammatory bowel disease and subsequent depression or anxiety disorders - A retrospective cohort study of 31,728 outpatients. J Psychiatr Res 2024; 169:231-237. [PMID: 38048672 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2023.11.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are characterized by chronic intestinal and systemic inflammation. The extraintestinal sequelae of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are major contributors to disease morbidity and significantly affect patients' quality of life. Here, we evaluated the association between IBD and subsequent depression or anxiety disorder in a large outpatient collective from Germany. METHODS 15,864 individual IBD patients (CD: n = 6,791, UC: n = 9073) and 15,864 nearest neighbor propensity score matched patients without IBD were included from the Disease Analyzer database (IQVIA). Diagnoses of depression and anxiety disorders were compared between IBD and non-IBD patients during a five-year follow-up period using Kaplan-Meier estimators and Cox-regression models. RESULTS After 5 years of follow-up, depression was diagnosed in 14.4% of CD patients versus 10.2% of matched pairs (p < 0.001) and in 13.1% of UC patients versus 10.1% of matched pairs (p < 0.001). In line, the incidence of anxiety order was significantly higher among CD (4.7% vs. 4.4%, p = 0.009) and UC patients (4.3% vs. 3.5%, p = 0.005). Regression analysis confirmed a significant association between IBD and both mental conditions (Hazard Ratio (HR)CD/depression: 1.40, HRUC/depression: 1.32, HRCD/anxiety disorder: 1.21, HRUC/anxiety disorder: 1.28). Subgroup analyses revealed a stronger association for CD and depression (HR: 1.51) and UC and depression (HR:1.49) among male patients as well as UC and anxiety disorders (HR: 1.51) among female patients. CONCLUSION Our data argue for a significant association between IBD and mental diseases including depression and anxiety disorders. Although further pathophysiological research is warranted, we hypothesize that specific psychological screening measures in IBD patients could improve quality of life and outcome.

Abstract
Crohn's Disease (CD) is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease and is characterized by an immune-mediated nature. Its etiology results from the interaction between genetic, enviromental and microbial factors. Regarding pathophysiology, it involves high levels of interleukin (IL)-12, IL-17, and Th1 profile, along with loss of tolerance mechanisms, an increase in pro-inflammatory interleukins, beyond the possibility to affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Its symptoms include abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, anorexia, and fatigue, as well as blood in the stool or rectum. Additionally, conditions comprising musculoskeletal, cutaneous, ocular, hepatic, and hematological alterations may be associated with this scenario and extra-intestinal presentation, such as erythema nodosum, anterior uveitis, osteoporosis, and arthritis can also occur. Today, clinical history, exams as fecal calprotectin, ileocolonocopy, and capsule endoscopy can be performed in the diagnosis investigation, along with treatments to induce and maintain remission. In this sense, anti-inflammatory drugs, such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biological agents, as well as surgery and non-pharmacological interventions plays a role in its therapy. The aim of this review is to bring more current evidence to clinical management of CD, as well as to briefly discuss aspects of its pathophysiology, surveillance, and associated disorders.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disease associated with CD4+ Th1 and Th17 cell immune responses. Tumour necrosis factor-associated factor 5 (TRAF5) deficiency has been shown to aggravate DSS-induced colitis. However, the potential role of TRAF5 in regulating CD4+ T cell immune responses in the pathogenesis of IBD remains unclear. TRAF5-/- CD4+ CD45RBhigh T cells and WT CD4+ CD45RBhigh T cells were transferred to Rag2-/- mice via intravenous (i.v.) tail injection, respectively, to establish a chronic colitis model. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene knockout technique was used to knock out runt-associated transcription factor 1 (Runx1) expression in vivo. Specific cytokines of Th1 and Th17 cells were detected by quantitative RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, and flow cytometry. In T-cell transfer colitis mice, the Rag2-/- mice reconstituted with TRAF5-/- CD4+ CD45RBhigh T cells showed more severe intestinal inflammation than the WT control group, which was characterised by increased expression of INF-γ, TNF-α, IL-17a. Furthermore, we found that the INF-γ+ CD4+ , IL17a+ CD4+ , and INF-γ+ IL17a+ CD4+ T cells in the intestinal mucosa of Rag2-/- mice reconstituted with TRAF5-/- CD4+ CD45RBhigh T cells were significantly higher than those of the WT control group by flow cytometry. Mechanistically, knockout Runx1 inhibited the differentiation of TRAF5-/- CD4+ T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells in the intestinal mucosa of T-cell transfer colitis mice. TRAF5 regulates Th1 and Th17 cell differentiation and immune response through Runx1 to participate in the pathogenesis of colitis. Thus targeting TRAF5 in CD4+ T cells may be a novel treatment for IBD.

Abstract
Anterior Uveitis (AU) is the inflammation of the anterior part of the eye, the iris and ciliary body and is strongly associated with HLA-B*27. We report AU exome sequencing results from eight independent cohorts consisting of 3,850 cases and 916,549 controls. We identify common genome-wide significant loci in HLA-B (OR = 3.37, p = 1.03e-196) and ERAP1 (OR = 0.86, p = 1.1e-08), and find IPMK (OR = 9.4, p = 4.42e-09) and IDO2 (OR = 3.61, p = 6.16e-08) as genome-wide significant genes based on the burden of rare coding variants. Dividing the cohort into HLA-B*27 positive and negative individuals, we find ERAP1 haplotype is strongly protective only for B*27-positive AU (OR = 0.73, p = 5.2e-10). Investigation of B*27-negative AU identifies a common signal near HLA-DPB1 (rs3117230, OR = 1.26, p = 2.7e-08), risk genes IPMK and IDO2, and several additional candidate risk genes, including ADGFR5, STXBP2, and ACHE. Taken together, we decipher the genetics underlying B*27-positive and -negative AU and identify rare and common genetic signals for both subtypes of disease.

Sanguisorba officinalis ethyl acetate extract attenuates ulcerative colitis through inhibiting PI3K-AKT/NF-κB/ STAT3 pathway uncovered by single-cell RNA sequencing. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 120:155052. [PMID: 37717310 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) accounts for the untreatable illness nowadays. Bloody stools are the primary symptom of UC, and the first-line drugs used to treat UC are associated with several drawbacks and negative side effects. S. officinalis has long been used as a medicine to treat intestinal infections and bloody stools. However, what the precise molecular mechanism, the exact etiology, and the material basis of the disease remain unclear. PURPOSE This work aimed to comprehensively explore pharmacological effects as well as molecular mechanisms underlying the active fraction of S. officinalis, and to produce a comprehensive and brand-new guideline map of its chemical base and mechanism of action. METHODS First, different polarity S. officinalis extracts were orally administered to the DSS-induced UC model mice for the sake of investigating its active constituents. Using the UPLC-orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS) technique, the most active S. officinalis (S. officinalis ethyl acetate fraction, SOEA) extract was characterized. Subsequently, the effectiveness of its active fraction on UC was evaluated through phenotypic observation (such as weight loss, colon length, and stool characteristics), and histological examination of pathological injuries, mRNA and protein expression. Cell profile, cell-cell interactions and molecular mechanisms of SOEA in different cell types of the colon tissue from UC mice were described using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). As a final step, the molecular mechanisms were validated by appropriate molecular biological methods. RESULTS For the first time, this study revealed the significant efficacy of SOEA in the treatment of UC. SOEA reduced DAI and body weight loss, recovered the colon length, and mitigated colonic pathological injuries along with mucosal barrier by promoting goblet cell proliferation. Following treatment with SOEA, inflammatory factors showed decreased mRNA and protein expression. SOEA restored the dynamic equilibrium of cell profile and cell-cell interactions in colon tissue. All of these results were attributed to the ability of SOEA to inhibit the PI3K-AKT/NF-κB/STATAT pathway. CONCLUSIONS By integrating the chemical information of SOEA derived from UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS with single-cell transcriptomic data extracted from scRNA-seq, this study demonstrates that SOEA exerts the therapeutic effect through suppressing PI3K-AKT/NF-B/STAT3 pathway to improve clinical symptoms, inflammatory response, mucosal barrier, and intercellular interactions in UC, and effectively eliminates the interference of cellular heterogeneity.

Abstract
New treatment options beyond immunosuppression have emerged in recent years for patients with Crohn´s disease (CD), a chronic systemic condition affecting primarily the gut with great impact in the quality of life. The cause of CD is largely unknown, and a curative treatment is not yet available. In addition, despite the growing therapeutic armamentarium in recent years almost half of the patients don´t achieve a sustained response over time. Thus, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. In this review, we discuss the current state of promising new "out of the box" possibilities to control chronic inflammation beyond current pharmacological treatments, including: exclusive enteral nutrition, specific diets, cell therapies using T regs, hyperbaric oxygen, fecal microbiota transplantation, phage therapy, helminths, cannabis and vagal nerve stimulation. The exploration of original and novel therapeutic modalities is key to address their potential as main or complementary treatments in selected CD populations in order to increase efficacy, minimize side effects and improve quality of life of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Uveitis is one of the ocular manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that is often overlooked and has been considered a sign of severe IBD. As typical subtypes of IBD, differences exist in the prevalence of uveitis between Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Our study systematically assessed differences in the prevalence of uveitis between CD and UC. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used. We performed a systematic review of published literature from PubMed and Embase on 30 March 2022. Two investigators independently selected studies, extracted data and evaluated methodological quality. Either a fixed- or a random-effects model was used to calculate the risk ratio (RR), odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) depending on the heterogeneity of studies. Sensitivity analysis was used to examine the heterogeneity by removing article by article, while subgroup analysis was conducted in accordance with various regions. RESULTS Our study included data from 14 studies encompassing 115 854 participants. The prevalence of uveitis in IBD was estimated to be 2.38% (95% CI 1.60%-3.17%). The prevalence of uveitis in CD (3.27%, 95% CI 2.15%-4.39%) was significantly higher than in UC (1.60%, 95% CI 0.93%-2.27%; RR 1.76, 95% CI 1.39-2.22, p < 0.05). In subgroup analysis, a higher incidence of CD combined with uveitis was also observed in IBD patients residing in Europe (RR 1.75, 95% CI 1.37-2.24). CONCLUSIONS Data from 115 854 IBD patients showed that CD patients were more likely to suffer from uveitis than UC patients. Ocular manifestations in IBD, particularly CD, warrant greater attention.

Abstract
Cyclic neutropenia is a rare hematological condition characterized by periodic fluctuations in neutrophil counts, with a 21-day periodicity. Clinical presentation varies from mild to severe forms of the disease, with the onset of recurrent fever, painful oral ulcers, recurrent bacterial infections, peritonitis, and septic shock. The availability of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has revolutionized the management and natural history of this disease, regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of the progenitor cells, and reducing the duration of neutropenia. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a group of chronic pathologies that affect the gastrointestinal tract. The onset of both diseases may be at a young age (even during childhood or adolescence), and clinical manifestations may lead to misdiagnosis, due to similar characteristics such as recurrent infections, oral ulcers, perianal abscesses, and infertility. Moreover, the two pathologies are rarely associated, with different management and therapeutic options. Here, we describe two case reports of patients who underwent surgery because of diagnosis of complicated CD. After surgery, due to persistent neutropenia, the hematologist consultant confirmed suspicions of cyclic neutropenia, and G-CSF therapy was started with benefits, underlining the crucial importance of proper differential diagnosis.

Genetic evidence strengthens the bidirectional connection between gut microbiota and periodontitis: insights from a two-sample Mendelian randomization study. J Transl Med 2023; 21:674. [PMID: 37770955 PMCID: PMC10537583 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04559-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent research has established the correlation between gut microbiota and periodontitis via oral-gut axis. Intestinal dysbiosis may play a pivotal bridging role in extra-oral inflammatory comorbidities caused by periodontitis. However, it is unclear whether the link is merely correlative or orchestrated by causative mechanistic interactions. This two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was performed to evaluate the potential bidirectional causal relationships between gut microbiota and periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A two-sample MR analysis was performed using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for gut microbiota (n = 18,340) and periodontitis (cases = 12,251; controls = 22,845). The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used for the primary analysis, and we employed sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of the main results. The PhenoScanner database was then searched for pleiotropy SNPs associated with potential confounders. In order to identify the possibly influential SNPs, we further conducted the leave-one-out analysis. Finally, a reverse MR analysis was performed to evaluate the possibility of links between periodontitis and genetically predicted gut microbiota alternation. RESULTS 2,699 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with 196 microbiota genera were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). IVW method suggested that order Enterobacteriales (OR: 1.35, 95% CI 1.10-1.66), family Bacteroidales S24.7group (OR: 1.22, 95% CI 1.05-1.41), genus Lachnospiraceae UCG008 (OR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.03-1.31), genus Prevotella 7 (OR: 1.11, 95% CI 1.01-1.23), and order Pasteurellales (OR: 1.12, 95% CI 1.00-1.26) may be associated with a higher risk of periodontitis, while genus Ruminiclostridium 6 may be linked to a lower risk (OR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.70-0.95). The sensitivity and heterogeneity analyses yielded no indication of horizontal pleiotropy or heterogeneity. Only the association between order Enterobacteriales and the likelihood of periodontitis remained consistent across all alternative MR approaches. In the reverse MR analysis, four microbiota genera were genetically predicted to be down-regulated in periodontitis, whereas two were predicted to be up-regulated. CONCLUSIONS The present MR analysis demonstrated the potential bidirectional causal relationships between gut microbiota and periodontitis. Our research provided fresh insights for the prevention and management of periodontitis. Future research is required to support the finding of our current study.

Pancreatology 2023; 23:569-573. [PMID: 37302896 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly all medications used for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been reported as causes of acute pancreatitis (AP), with the thiopurines being among the most frequently described. However, with the development of newer medications, thiopurine monotherapy has largely been replaced by newer immunosuppressive drugs. There are few data on the association between AP and biologic/small molecule agents. METHODS VigiBase, the World Health Organization's Global Individual Case Safety Report database, was used to assess the association between AP and common IBD medications. A case/non-case disproportionality analysis was performed and disproportionality signals were reported as a reporting odds ratio (ROR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 4,223 AP episodes were identified for common IBD medications. Azathioprine (ROR 19.18, 95% CI 18.21-20.20), 6-mercaptopurine (ROR 13.30, 95% CI 11.73-15.07), and 5-aminosalicylic acid (ROR 17.44, 95% CI 16.24-18.72) all had strong associations with AP, while the biologic/small molecule agents showed weaker or no disproportionality. The association with AP was much higher for thiopurines when used for Crohn's disease (ROR 34.61, 95% CI 30.95-38.70) compared to ulcerative colitis (ROR 8.94, 95% CI 7.47-10.71) or rheumatologic conditions (ROR 18.87, 95% CI 14.72-24.19). CONCLUSIONS We report the largest real-world database study investigating the association between common IBD medications and AP. Among commonly used IBD medications including biologic/small molecule agents, only thiopurines and 5-aminosalicylic acid are strongly associated with AP. The association between thiopurines and AP is much stronger when the drug is used for Crohn's disease compared to ulcerative colitis and rheumatologic conditions.

Abstract
The coexistence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with pancreatic pathology is rare in children. A retrospective analysis of data from 1538 children diagnosed with IBD in 2014-2021 was conducted to determine the frequency and causes of pancreatitis and asymptomatic hyperlipasemia (HL) or hyperamylasemia (HA) in this group of patients. Among the 176 children (11.4%) with pancreatic involvement (PI), acute pancreatitis (AP) was diagnosed in 77 children (43.8%), and HA or HL was observed in 88 children (50.0%). Only a few patients were diagnosed with autoimmune or chronic pancreatitis (6.2%). PI was observed at the time of the IBD diagnosis in 26.1% of the cases. A total of 54.5% of the patients had moderate to severe IBD, and 96% had colonic involvement at the time of diagnosis of PI. Idiopathic PI was the most common (57%), followed by drug-induced PI (37%) and azathioprine (AZA). In patients with AZA-induced AP, the successful introduction of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) to therapy was noted in 62.5% of the children. Our results suggest that routine monitoring of pancreatic enzymes in patients with IBD should be performed, especially after the initiation of the AZA treatment. The presence of transient HA/HL in IBD does not necessarily indicate pancreatic pathology.

Abstract
The present study aims to explore the effect and mechanism of acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The IBD-mouse model is established by replacing normal water intake with 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) aqueous solution, and 50 mg kg-1 of AKBA treatment is administered. The experimental mice are randomly divided into four groups, including control, AKBA , DSS, and DSS + AKBA groups. AKBA therapy conspicuously ameliorates the adverse symptoms caused by DSS in mice and inhibits the reduction of colon length and the rise of disease activity index score. Hematoxylin-eosin staining results suggest that AKBA strikingly improves the pathological conditions of the colon and small intestine tissues in IBD mice. AKBA prominently inhibits the DSS-induced increase of proinflammatory factor contents and the upregulation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-p38/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways' protein levels in the colon tissues of IBD mice. AKBA alleviates DSS-induced colonic inflammatory injury in IBD mice by repressing the activation of the JNK-p38/MAPK and NF-κB pathways.

Abstract
Nifuroxazide (NFX) is a safe nitrofuran antibacterial drug used clinically to treat acute diarrhea and infectious traveler diarrhea or colitis. Recent studies revealed that NFX displays multiple pharmacological effects, including anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. NFX has potential roles in inhibiting thyroid, breast, lung, bladder, liver, and colon cancers and osteosarcoma, melanoma, and others mediated by suppressing STAT3 as well as ALDH1, MMP2, MMP9, Bcl2 and upregulating Bax. Moreover, it has promising effects against sepsis-induced organ injury, hepatic disorders, diabetic nephropathy, ulcerative colitis, and immune disorders. These promising effects appear to be mediated by suppressing STAT3 as well as NF-κB, TLR4, and β-catenin expressions and effectively decreasing downstream cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Our review summarizes the available studies on the molecular biological mechanisms of NFX in cancer and other diseases and it is recommended to translate the studies in experimental animals and cultured cells and repurpose NFX in various diseases for scientific evidence based on human studies.

Abstract
BackgroundThe close relationship between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has been supported by many aspects, including but not limited to clinical manifestations, epidemiology and pathogenesis. Some evidence suggests that immune cells actively participated in the pathogenesis of both diseases. However, information on which cells are primarily involved in this process and how these cells mobilize, migrate and interact is still limited.MethodsDatasets were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Common differentially expressed genes (coDEGs) were identified by package “limma”. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) were used to analyze the interactions between coDEGs. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and inverse cumulative distribution function were applied to identify common differential pathways, while Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to confirm the significance. Correlation analysis between coDEGs and immune cells led to the identification of critical immune-cell-related coDEGs. The diagnostic models were established based on least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, while receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to identify the ability of the model. Validation datasets were imported to demonstrate the significant association of coDEGs with specific immune cells and the capabilities of the diagnostic model.ResultsIn total, 67 genes were up-regulated and 185 genes were down-regulated in both diseases. Four down-regulated pathways and four up-regulated pathways were considered important. Up-regulated coDEGs were firmly associated with neutrophils, while down-regulated genes were significantly associated with CD8+ T−cells and CD4+ T−cells in both AS and IBD datasets. Five up-regulated and six down-regulated key immue-cell-related coDEGs were identified. Diagnostic models based on key immue-cell-related coDEGs were established and tested. Validation datasets confirmed the significance of the correlation between coDEGs and specific immune cells.ConclusionThis study provides fresh insights into the co-pathogenesis of AS and IBD. It is proposed that neutrophils and T cells may be actively involved in this process, however, in opposite ways. The immue-cell-related coDEGs, revealed in this study, may be relevant to their regulation, although relevant research is still lacking.

Abstract
BackgroundEvidence from observational studies on the association of folate and vitamin B12 with autoimmune diseases are conflicting.ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the relationship of folate and vitamin B12 with autoimmune diseases using Mendelian randomization (MR).Materials and methodsWe selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with folate and vitamin B12 at the genome-wide significance level. Summary-level data for four common autoimmune diseases (vitiligo, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus) were obtained from large-scale genome-wide association studies, with a sample size of 44,266, 86,640, 58,284, and 23,210, respectively. MR analyses were conducted using the inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach, and sensitivity analyses were further performed to test the robustness.ResultsWe found that a higher genetically determined serum folate level per one standard deviation (SD) was associated with a decreased risk of vitiligo by the IVW method [odds ratios (OR) = 0.47; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.32–0.69; P = 1.33 × 10-4]. Sensitivity analyses using alternative methods showed similar associations, and no evidence of pleiotropy was detected by MR-Egger regression (P = 0.919). In addition, we observed that vitamin B12 per one SD was positively associated with IBD (IVW: OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.03–1.26, P = 0.010; maximum likelihood: OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.01–1.29, P = 0.035; MR-PRESSO: OR = 1.14, 95% CI:1.01–1.28, P =0.037), while the association was not significant after Bonferroni correction.ConclusionThe study provides convincing evidence for an inverse association between serum folate level and risk of vitiligo. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the possible association between vitamin B12 and risk of IBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present a case of newly diagnosed Crohn's disease, in which retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with uveitis was the first clinical manifestation. CASE DESCRIPTION A 55-year-old man presented with bilateral blurred vision, with decreased best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) to light perception (right eye, RE) and 20/40 (left eye, LE). Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral iritis, vitritis, disc edema, and retinal vascular occlusions. Because of concurrent fever and leukocytosis, a systemic infection was highly suspected. However, whole-body imaging was unrevealing. Subsequently, the patient presented with massive bloody stool. Histopathological specimen from emergent hemicolectomy confirmed transmural granulomatous inflammation. Crohn's disease was finally diagnosed. Following treatment, the BCVA recovered to 20/40 (RE) and 20/22 (LE). The systemic condition remained stable after a 3-year follow-up. CONCLUSION RAO with uveitis is a possible manifestation of Crohn's disease. In complex uveitis cases, clinicians should be aware of inflammatory bowel diseases as an important differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Liver disease is one of the most common extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Often the course of liver disease is associated with an exacerbation of the underlying disease (Crohn’s Disease/Ulcerative Colitis). Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis encompasses a wide spectrum of liver damage. The most common form is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (75–80%), and the less common but more dangerous form is nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NAFLD is now the most common cause of chronic liver disease in developed countries and the leading indication for liver transplantation in the United States. Genetic, demographic, clinical, and environmental factors can play a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. The increasing prevalence of NAFLD is associated with a widespread obesity epidemic, metabolic complications, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidaemia. Some of the most common manifestations of IBD are liver, biliary tract, and gallbladder diseases. The liver fibrosis process has a complex pathophysiology and is often dependent on exogenous factors such as the treatment used and endogenous factors such as the gut microbiome. However, the factors that link IBD and liver fibrosis are not yet clear. The main purpose of the review is to try to find links between IBD and selected liver diseases and to identify knowledge gaps that will inform further research.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract that has a profound impact on the quality of life of those afflicted with it. The scientific literature shows how the quality of life of people with IBD influences and is influenced by the clinical manifestations of the disease. Strongly connected with excretory functions, which have always been taboo in society, these clinical manifestations can lead to stigmatizing behaviours. The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences of the enacted stigma of people with IBD through Cohen's phenomenological method. Two main themes (stigma in the workplace and stigma in social life) and one subtheme (stigma in love life) emerged from the data analysis. The data analysis revealed that stigma is associated with a multitude of negative health outcomes for the people targeted by it and can add to the already complex physical, psychological and social burdens endured by people with IBD. Having a better understanding of the stigma attached to IBD will facilitate the development of care and training interventions that can improve the quality of life of people suffering from IBD.

The risk of subsequent surgery following bowel resection for Crohn's disease in a national cohort of 19 207 patients. Colorectal Dis 2023; 25:83-94. [PMID: 36097792 DOI: 10.1111/codi.16331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
AIM Surgery is required for most patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and further surgery may be necessary if medical treatment fails to control disease activity. The aim of this study was to characterize the risk of, and factors associated with, further surgery following a first resection for Crohn's disease. METHODS Hospital Episode Statistics from England were examined to identify patients with CD and a first recorded bowel resection between 2007 and 2016. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine risk factors for further resectional surgery within 5 years. Prevalence-adjusted surgical rates for index CD surgery over the study period were calculated. RESULTS In total, 19 207 patients (median age 39 years, interquartile range 27-53 years; 55% women) with CD underwent a first recorded resection during the study period. 3141 (16%) underwent a further operation during the study period. The median time to further surgery was 2.4 (interquartile range 1.2-4.6) years. 3% of CD patients had further surgery within 1 year, 14% by 5 years and 23% by 10 years. Older age (≥58), index laparoscopic surgery and index elective surgery (adjusted OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.54-0.77; 0.77, 0.67-0.88; and 0.77, 0.69-0.85; respectively) were associated with a reduced risk of further surgery by 5 years. Prior surgery for perianal disease (1.60, 1.37-1.87), an extraintestinal manifestation of CD (1.51, 1.22-1.86) and index surgery in a high-volume centre for CD surgery (1.20, 1.02-1.40) were associated with an increased risk of further surgery by 5 years. A 25% relative and 0.3% absolute reduction in prevalence-adjusted index surgery rates for CD was observed over the study period. CONCLUSIONS Further surgery following an index operation is common in CD. This risk was particularly seen in patients with perianal disease, extraintestinal manifestations and those who underwent index surgery in a high-volume centre.

Auricularia polytricha and Flammulina velutipes reduce liver injury in DSS-induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease by improving inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis through the regulation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathways. J Nutr Biochem 2023; 111:109190. [PMID: 36272692 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2022.109190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Auricularia polytricha and Flammulina velutipes are two dietary mushrooms mostly consumed in China and known for their traditional use on gastric ulceration and to boost bowel movement. Considering the gut-liver axis, which has been recognized for its role in the autoimmune modulation, and the implications of the intestinal barrier in the pathogenesis of liver diseases that remain unclear, the therapeutic effects of A. polytricha (APE) and F. velutipes (FVE) on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-induced liver injury in mice was investigated as well as their potential mechanism via the signaling pathways they could involve. 3% DSS was administered to the mice in drinking water, to induce ulcerative colitis, followed by oral administration of APE and FVE. The biochemical, oxidative stress and inflammatory parameters, mRNA and protein expressions were assessed. The results revealed that DSS-induced liver histopathological changes were ameliorated by APE and FVE treatment. APE and FVE administration also improved the ALT and AST activity as well as the pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative factors. Data also showed that, in addition to their regulation of tight junctions' disruption, APE and FVE attenuated genes and proteins expression involved in apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and bile acid homeostasis via inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB and caspase signaling pathways and stimulating Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathways. In conclusion, APE and FVE regulated liver injury on DSS-induced ulcerative colitis by alleviating inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, suggesting that they could be used as therapeutic alternatives against liver diseases in addition to their functions as dietary supplements.

Abstract
Aim. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a refractory gastrointestinal disease. The study aimed to expound the mechanism of Polygonum bistorta (PB) in treating UC by network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experiment verification. Methods. The compositions and targets of PB and UC-associated targets were obtained by searching the websites and the literature. The potential mechanism of PB in the treatment of UC was predicted by protein-protein interaction network construction, Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. Molecule docking was performed by AutoDock. In vitro experiments explored the mechanism of quercetin (Que), the main active composition of PB, in treating UC. Results. Six compositions, 139 PB targets, and 934 UC-associated targets were obtained. 93 overlapping targets between PB and UC were identified, and 18 of them were the core targets. 467 biological processes, 10 cell components, and 30 molecular functions were obtained by GO analysis. 102 pathways were enriched through KEGG analysis. Among them, the IL-17 signaling pathway had high importance. The core targets FOS, JUN, IL-1β, CCL2, CXCL8, and MMP9 could dock with Que successfully. Act1, TRAF6, FOS, and JUN were identified by KEGG as the key proteins of the IL-17 signaling pathway. The expressions of the abovementioned proteins were increased in Caco-2 cells stimulated by Dextran sulfate sodium and decreased after being treated by Que. Conclusion. PB might treat UC by downregulating the IL-17 signaling pathway. It is worth doing further research on PB treating UC in vivo.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases are a group of inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Their prevalence is still low in Brazil, but the incidence is increasing annually. A variety of compounds present in Curcuma longa L., particularly curcumin, have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and aid in the prevention of associated diseases. This study aimed to assess the effect of curcumin transdermal gel on oxidative stress and intestinal inflammation in IL-10 knockout mice. Female mice were divided into four groups: a control group (C0) treated with vehicle and three experimental groups treated with transdermal gel containing 50 (C50), 75 (C75), and 100 (C100) mg curcumin kg-1 body weight. Colon malondialdehyde concentrations were lower in C50 and C75 groups. C100 treatment led to reduced catalase activity in the small intestine, whereas C50, C75, and C100 treatments resulted in decreased catalase activity in the colon. In contrast, superoxide dismutase activity increased in the small intestine of C50 and C75 mice and decreased in the colon of C50, C75, and C100 mice. Glutathione S-transferase activity increased in the small intestine and decreased in the colon of C75 animals. These findings suggest that curcumin transdermal gel exerts a protective effect against oxidative stress.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:15683. [PMID: 36497759 PMCID: PMC9737331 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192315683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a greater frequency of ocular extra-intestinal manifestations (O-EIMs) than the general population, while Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) have inconsistent prevalence, according to previous studies. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of O-EIMs in CD and UC, respectively. We systemically reviewed O-EIMs and IBD across several online databases. Inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) observational studies examining the association between O-EIMs and IBD, such as cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort studies; (2) human and adult individuals; and (3) with case and control groups consisting of patients with and without O-EIMs, respectively. Patients under the age of 18 or any study on pediatric IBD will be excluded. The prevalence of uveitis in adults was determined by 21 studies comprising 190,941 individuals with IBD, including 62,874 CD and 128,067 UC. The pooled analysis revealed significantly increased odds of uveitis in patients with CD than with UC (pooled odd ratio (OR) 1.603, 95% confidence interval 1.254-2.049). The subgroup analysis revealed that European populations had significantly higher odds of developing uveitis and episcleritis in patients with CD than UC (pooled OR 1.683 and 2.401, respectively). Although O-EIMs may be the prodrome of IBD, no consistent finding was obtained as a result of the high heterogeneity from the two included studies. This meta-analysis indicates the significantly increased odds of uveitis in adults with CD than those with UC. In subgroup analysis, European with CD seemed to have higher odds of uveitis and episcleritis than those with UC. Nonetheless, the link between O-EIMs and IBD remained unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Extra-intestinal manifestations are frequently reported in inflammatory bowel diseases. However, data comparing the effect of vedolizumab and ustekinumab on articular extra-intestinal manifestations are limited. The aim here was to evaluate differences in new-onset and the evolution of pre-existing joint extra-intestinal manifestations during both treatments. METHODS An international multicentre retrospective study was performed on inflammatory bowel disease patients who started vedolizumab or ustekinumab between May 2010 and December 2020. Extra-intestinal manifestations were assessed at baseline and joint extra-intestinal manifestations were evaluated throughout the 2-year follow-up. Arthropathy was defined by joint inflammation [arthritis/sacroiliitis], diagnosed by a rheumatologist, and arthralgia as articular pain without confirmed inflammation. Additionally, skin, ocular and hepatic extra-intestinal manifestations were assessed at baseline. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS In total, 911 patients [vedolizumab: 584; ustekinumab: 327] were included. Deterioration of pre-existing arthropathy and rate of new-onset arthropathy were not significantly associated with vedolizumab over ustekinumab. Arthropathy was used as reason to stop treatment in six vedolizumab and two ustekinumab patients. The odds of developing new arthralgia within 6 months was higher in patients who took vedolizumab compared to ustekinumab (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.28 [1.01-5.15], p = 0.047). However, this effect was not sustained during the 2-year follow-up (aOR: 1.35 [0.80-2.29], p = 0.259). Deterioration of pre-existing arthralgia was comparable between ustekinumab and vedolizumab-treated patients. In two vedolizumab-treated patients arthralgia was given as the reason to stop treatment. CONCLUSIONS Vedolizumab and ustekinumab can be used safely in patients with articular extra-intestinal manifestations. Only a temporary increased risk for developing arthralgia has been observed under vedolizumab.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Regulates Th17/Treg Balance in Treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:6275136.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), also known as chronic nonspecific inflammatory disease of the colon and rectum, is primarily characterized by mucopurulent bloody stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and tenesmus. Its cause is uncertain. IBD patients frequently experience a high rate of recurrence, a protracted treatment course, and a high risk of carcinogenesis. Additionally, the difficulty of treatment is significantly increased by these illness characteristics. Currently, the normal treatment for this illness can lessen symptoms to some amount and even meet clinical treatment requirements, but due to serious side effects, unfavorable reactions, and high costs, we need to develop better complementary and alternative medicines. A number of studies have found that the imbalance of T helper cell 17 (Th17)/regulatory T cells (Treg) contributes significantly to the occurrence and progression of IBD and that Th17/Treg balance restoration is frequently useful in the management of IBD. As a result, regulating the Th17/Treg balance has also emerged as a novel approach to treating IBD. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has gained popularity in recent years due to its advantages of low side effects, a variety of targets, and multiple regulatory mechanisms. A number of studies have shown that TCM can successfully intervene in the Th17/Treg imbalance and restore it, and research on the prevention and treatment of IBD by TCM by restoring Th17/Treg has also shown promising results. The characteristics of the Th17/Treg balance and its role in the pathogenesis of IBD, as well as the role of TCM in regulating the Th17/Treg imbalance, are analyzed. The research results are expected to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment and pathology mechanism research of IBD.

Abstract
Aims This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature on the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and show its current status, hot spots, and development trends. Methods The literature on IBD diagnosis was acquired from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection. Co-occurrence and cooperation relationship analysis of authors, institutions, countries, journals, references, and keywords in the literature were carried out through CiteSpace software and the Online Analysis platform of Literature Metrology. At the same time, the relevant knowledge maps were drawn, and the keywords cluster analysis and emergence analysis were performed. Results 14,742 related articles were included, showing that the number of articles in this field has increased in recent years. The results showed that PEYRIN-BIROULET L from the University Hospital of Nancy-Brabois was the author with the most cumulative number of articles. The institution with the most articles was Mayo Clin, and the United States was far ahead in the article output and had a dominant role. Keywords analysis showed that there was a total of 818 keywords, which were mainly focused on the research of related diseases caused or coexisted by IBD, such as colorectal cancer and autoimmune diseases, and the diagnosis and treatment methods of IBD. Emerging analysis showed that future research hotspots and trends might be the treatment of IBD and precision medicine. Conclusion This research was the first bibliometric analysis of publications in the field of IBD diagnosis using visualization software and data information mining, and obtained the current status, hotspots, and development of this field. The future research hotspot might be the precision medicine of IBD, and the mechanism needed to be explored in depth to provide a theoretical basis for its clinical application.

Abstract
As extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) are frequent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and affect morbidity and sometimes even mortality, vigilance in the surveillance of EIMs and installing the appropriate treatment are essential. Data on renal manifestations in patients with IBD are however rare. Nevertheless, up to 5-15% of adult patients with IBD will develop chronic kidney disease over time. The pathophysiology of renal involvement in patients with IBD is complex and poorly understood, with a wide range of renal disorders affecting the glomeruli and/or the tubular structure. Furthermore, medication used to treat IBD can be potentially nephrotoxic and metabolic complication due to the disease itself can furthermore cause renal damage. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the existing data in literature on these renal manifestations and complications in patients with IBD.

Abstract
Purpose Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) suffer from physical symptoms and psychosocial issues. This generates risks of psychosocial maladjustment that is closely linked with self-care ability and health-related quality of life. The study aimed to explore psychosocial adaptation of IBD patients in China and the influencing factors from individual and family levels. Patients and Methods Using a cross-sectional design, 191 Chinese patients with IBD were recruited from October 2020 to September 2021. General information questionnaire, general family functioning scale, resilience scale for IBD, and psychosocial adaptation questionnaire for IBD were used for investigation. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify predictive factors of psychosocial adaptation. Results IBD patients reported a moderate level of psychosocial adaptation. Regression analysis showed that personal resilience especially the three dimensions (i.e., positive illness perception, disease management, and support from fellow IBD patients), general family functioning, and disease conditions (i.e., extra-intestinal manifestations and current disease status) were the main contributing factors of psychosocial adaptation, explaining 49.3% of the total variance. Conclusion The findings suggest that healthcare providers could focus on improving patients’ illness perception about IBD and strengthening their disease management abilities, together with optimizing patients’ family functioning to enhance their psychosocial adaptation level.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), classified primarily between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a collection of chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions that cause multiple complications because of systemic alterations in the immune response. One major player is microRNA (miRNA), which is found to be associated with multiple pathways in mediating inflammation, especially those of a chronic nature in IBD, as well as irritable bowel syndrome. Although there have been studies linking miRNA alterations in IBD, even differentiating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, this review focuses mainly on how miRNAs cause and mechanistically influence the pathologic complications of IBD. In addition to its role in the well-known progression towards colorectal cancer, we also emphasize how miRNA manifests the many extraintestinal complications in IBD such as cardiovascular diseases; neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders; and others, including various musculoskeletal, dermatologic, ocular, and hepatobiliary complications. We conclude through a description of its potential use in bettering diagnostics and the future treatment of IBD and its systemic symptoms.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is difficult to eradicate as it leads to chronic inflammation in the digestive tract due to immune system malfunction. The present study demonstrated the protective effect of 7S,15R-dihydroxy-16S,17S-epoxy-docosapentaenoic acid (diHEP-DPA), which had been previously synthesized, on a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced BALB/c mouse model of UC. UC was induced with 4% DSS drinking water for 7 days. Initially, the anti-inflammatory effect of diHEP-DPA was confirmed by demonstrating that lipopolysaccharide-stimulated THP1 cells treated with diHEP-DPA decreased IL-6, TNF-α and nitrite levels by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and Griess reagent kit. The results indicated that the administration of diHEP-DPA at 20 µg/kg significantly reduced the severity of colitis, as determined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in the colon tissue and serum were significantly reduced in the diHEP-DPA + DSS-treated group compared with in the control group, as determined by FACS and ELISA kit. It was also observed that diHEP-DPA decreased myeloperoxidase (MPO) and nitrite levels in the colon tissues of diHEP-DPA + DSS-treated mice, as indicated using commercial MPO and nitric oxide kits. The diHEP-DPA+DSS-treated mice also exhibited decreased expression levels of phosporylated (p)-inhibitor κB protein, p-p65 and inducible nitric oxide synthase in the colon tissue by inhibiting inflammation, which were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and weatern blot analysis. Overall, the present study demonstrated the protective effect of diHEP-DPA against a severe colitis condition in vivo.

Abstract
The first matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) was discovered in 1962 from the tail of a tadpole by its ability to degrade collagen. As their name suggests, matrix metalloproteinases are proteases capable of remodeling the extracellular matrix. More recently, MMPs have been demonstrated to play numerous additional biologic roles in cell signaling, immune regulation, and transcriptional control, all of which are unrelated to the degradation of the extracellular matrix. In this review, we will present milestones and major discoveries of MMP research, including various clinical trials for the use of MMP inhibitors. We will discuss the reasons behind the failures of most MMP inhibitors for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. There are still misconceptions about the pathophysiological roles of MMPs and the best strategies to inhibit their detrimental functions. This review aims to discuss MMPs in preclinical models and human pathologies. We will discuss new biochemical tools to track their proteolytic activity in vivo and ex vivo, in addition to future pharmacological alternatives to inhibit their detrimental functions in diseases. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in most inflammatory, autoimmune, cancers, and pathogen-mediated diseases. Initially overlooked, MMP contributions can be both beneficial and detrimental in disease progression and resolution. Thousands of MMP substrates have been suggested, and a few hundred have been validated. After more than 60 years of MMP research, there remain intriguing enigmas to solve regarding their biological functions in diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) occur commonly in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but population-level understanding of EIM behavior is difficult. We present a natural language processing (NLP) system designed to identify both the presence and status of EIMs using clinical notes from patients with IBD. METHODS In a single-center retrospective study, clinical outpatient electronic documents were collected in patients with IBD. An NLP EIM detection pipeline was designed to determine general and specific symptomatic EIM activity status descriptions using Python 3.6. Accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, and agreement using Cohen's kappa coefficient were used to compare NLP-inferred EIM status to human documentation labels. RESULTS The 1240 individuals identified as having at least 1 EIM consisted of 54.4% arthritis, 17.2% ocular, and 17.0% psoriasiform EIMs. Agreement between reviewers on EIM status was very good across all EIMs (κ = 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-0.78). The automated NLP pipeline determining general EIM activity status had an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and agreement of 94.1%, 0.92, 0.95, and κ = 0.76 (95% CI, 0.74-0.79), respectively. Comparatively, prediction of EIM status using administrative codes had a poor sensitivity, specificity, and agreement with human reviewers of 0.32, 0.83, and κ = 0.26 (95% CI, 0.20-0.32), respectively. CONCLUSIONS NLP methods can both detect and infer the activity status of EIMs using the medical document an information source. Though source document variation and ambiguity present challenges, NLP offers exciting possibilities for population-based research and decision support in IBD.
