Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] comprises an immune-mediated group of chronic gastrointestinal disorders. Patients with IBD may experience extraintestinal manifestations, such as hepatobiliary complications. This meta-analysis aims to assess the prevalence of different hepatic manifestations in IBD patients. METHODS For this systematic review and meta-analysis, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched until July 20, 2022, by specifying keywords for IBD, hepatic manifestations, and study type. Full texts of cohort studies in English that examined the prevalence of different hepatic manifestations were included in this study. The primary outcome was the overall prevalence of hepatic manifestations in IBD patients. For the statistical analysis, a proportion by random effect model meta-analysis was performed. The registration number for the protocol of this study in PROSPERO is CRD42022369595. RESULTS From the 4421 articles retrieved from the primary search, 118 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. After a pooled analysis of 1 729 128 patients, the overall prevalence of hepatic manifestations was 3.49% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.31-3.68%; I2: 99.55%). The pooled prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in 228 216 patients was 26.1% [95% CI: 22.1-30.2%; I2: 99.018%]. After pooled analysis of 9642 patients, the prevalence of primary sclerosing cholangitis was 1.67% [95% CI: 1.47-1.88%; I2: 99.10%]. The pooled prevalence of biliary stones was 4.1% [95% CI: 3.6-4.7%; I2: 97.43%]. Autoimmune hepatitis (0.51% [95% CI: 0.26-0.75%]; I2: 85.36%) and portal vein thrombosis (0.21% [95% CI: 0.08-0.33%]; I2: 97.95%) are considered as rare manifestations. CONCLUSION This study summarizes the prevalence and importance of different hepatic manifestations in IBD patients. These findings are crucial for the management of extraintestinal manifestations, especially hepatic manifestations, in IBD patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis, are chronic autoimmune conditions characterized by inflammation of the digestive system. The exact cause of IBD is unknown, but they often start during adolescence or early adulthood with symptoms such as urgency, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain and tenesmus. Primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis are recognized as co-occurring conditions associated with ulcerative colitis. However, the combination of ulcerative colitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, liver cirrhosis, and celiac disease occurring concurrently has only been reported once before in a female patient. Here, we present the exceptional case of a Syrian adult male with all four of these conditions. This highlights the importance of screening for both celiac disease and cirrhosis in patients with ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis together, despite this combination of comorbidities is rare.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk for many co-morbid diseases. However, little is known about durability of IBD medications in patients with co-morbid diseases. AIMS Determine medication durability in IBD patients with and without psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and/or enteropathic arthropathy. METHODS All patients with at least three ICD-9 or 10 diagnoses for IBD were included in the cohort. The risk factors of interest were a co-morbid diagnosis of psoriasis (IBD-Ps), rheumatoid arthritis (IBD-RA), and/or enteropathic arthritis (IBD-EA). Medication durability was defined as days of medication use, calculated using order start and stop dates from the electronic medical record. Significant differences were tested using the Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables and Fisher's exact test or Pearson's Chi-squared test, as appropriate, for categorical variables. Boxplots were constructed for graphical interpretation of results. RESULTS In the psoriasis group, there were 481 patients with 831 medication exposures [131 IBS-Ps (16%), 700 IBD only (84%)]. The median days of medication use were numerically higher in the IBD-Ps group for all therapies [anti-TNF: 1109 vs 861 (p = 0.17); anti-IL-12/23: 984 vs 834 (p = 0.33); JAKi: 682 vs 230 (p = 0.13)], anti-TNF/IM: 370 vs 202 (p = 0.57), except anti-integrin therapy [214 vs 470 (p = 0.08)]. When restricting to UC only, patients with co-morbid again Ps had a significantly shorter duration on anti-integrin therapy (84 vs 456 days, p = 0.02). While not reaching statistical significance, there was a distinctly longer medication duration on JAKi therapy (910 vs 317, p = 0.10). When restricting to patients with CD only, no results reached statistical significance though there was a trend towards longer anti-TNF durability in CD-Ps (1340 vs 1000 days, p = 0.098). There were no differences in medication durability in IBD-RA or IBD-EA patients. DISCUSSION Larger studies investigating medication durability of JAKi and anti-integrin therapy in IBD patients with psoriasis would be beneficial given noteworthy trends towards increased and decreased durability, respectively.

Abstract
Gluten is only partially digested by intestinal enzymes and can generate peptides that can alter intestinal permeability, facilitating bacterial translocation, thus affecting the immune system. Few studies addressed the role of diet with gluten in the development of intestinal inflammation and in other gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to analyse the role of gluten in several gastrointestinal diseases so as to give a useful overview of its effectiveness in the prevention and management of these disorders.

Abstract
Diet is intimately linked to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and has potent effects on intestinal immune homeostasis. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. The therapeutic implications of diet in patients with IBD have received significant attention in recent years. In this review, we provide a contemporary and comprehensive overview of dietary exposures and interventions in IBD. Epidemiological studies suggest that ultra-processed foods, food additives, and emulsifiers are associated with a higher incidence of IBD. Exclusion and elimination diets are associated with improved symptoms in patients with IBD, but no effects on objective markers of inflammation. Specific dietary interventions (e.g., Mediterranean, specific carbohydrate, high fiber, ketogenic, anti-inflammatory diets) have been shown to reduce symptoms, improve inflammatory biomarkers, and quality of life metrics to varying degrees, but these studies are limited by study design, underpowering, heterogeneity, and confounding. To date, there is no robust evidence that any dietary intervention alone may replace standard therapies in patients with IBD. However, diet may play an adjunct role to induce or maintain clinical remission with standard IBD therapies. The results of novel dietary trials in IBD such as personalized fiber, intermittent fasting, and time-restricted diets are eagerly awaited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Given the paucity of population-based data on the association between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), celiac disease (CeD) and celiac autoimmunity (CeA) we aimed to study the associations in a nationwide study. METHODS Utilizing health administrative data for all four health maintenance organizations in Israel, covering 98% of the population, we explored the prevalence of CeD in children and adults with IBD versus non-IBD matched controls. CeD was defined by three ICD-9 codes and CeA by positivity for tissue transglutaminase antibodies. RESULTS In total, 34,375 IBD patients (56% Crohn's disease [CD] and 44% ulcerative colitis [UC]) were compared with 93,603 non-IBD controls. Among IBD patients, 319 (0.93%) had CeD versus 294 (0.31%) non-IBD controls (odds ratio [OR]=2.97 [95%CI 2.54-3.48]; p<0.001). CeA was identified in 575 (1.67%) IBD patients vs. 158 (0.17%) controls (OR=10.06 [95%CI 8.43-12], p<0.001). The prevalence of CeD was higher in pediatric-onset IBD (87/5,243 [1.66%]) than adult-onset IBD (232/29,132 [0.79%]; p<0.001). CD patients had a higher prevalence of CeD (229/19,264 [1.19%]) than UC patients (90/15,111 [0.56%]; OR=2.01 [95%CI 1.57-2.56]; p<0.001). The diagnosis of CeD preceded the diagnosis of IBD in 241/319 cases (76%). The time to treatment escalation was shorter in patients with both IBD and CeD than in patients with IBD without CeD (p=0.017). CONCLUSION CeD and CeA are more prevalent in IBD patients, especially in pediatric-onset IBD and in CD. The diagnosis of CeD usually precedes that of IBD. Having CeD is associated with more intensified treatment for IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a lifelong, immune-mediated disorder that often occurs in childhood and is becoming increasingly common worldwide. Diagnosis of IBD in children remains difficult due to the spectrum of symptoms, including gastrointestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases in children and adolescents. Classic manifestations of T1D in young people include polyuria, polydipsia, abdominal pain, weight loss, and ketoacidosis. However, children with autoimmunity of pancreatic β-cells may remain euglycemic and asymptomatic for many years. An accurate and prompt diagnosis of IBD and T1D is particularly important in children because they can negatively affect growth, psychosocial function and overall well-being. We present a case in which a previously healthy child was co-diagnosed with Crohn disease and T1D during a routine pediatric evaluation in the outpatient clinic of a peripheral secondary hospital.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to compare the inflammatory response (IR) to surgery between patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods This study is a secondary analysis of data collected in a previous study by the authors. We included all adult patients who underwent elective surgery for CD and UC. The primary outcome variable was the difference in postoperative IR as measured by interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the count of white blood cells (WBCs) in peripheral blood. Two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance with a mixed effect (disease type as the between-patient factor, and time as the within patient factor). Results We included 46 patients in this pilot study. Median age was 42.5 years (IQR 30.5-42.2), 25/46 were females (54.3%). Patients with CD had a more marked IR to surgery compared with those with UC as shown by significant differences in levels of IL-6, IL-10, and CRP. Patients with CD were more often treated with postoperative epidural analgesia 17 (53.1%) versus 1 (7.1%), P = .009. Patients with colonic CD had a more intense IR to surgery than patients with UC after the same surgical resection. This significant trend continued when patients who underwent small bowel resection compared with those with colectomy. The changes in inflammatory markers and WBC counts from baseline to peak value were also higher in patients with CD indicating a more severe IR. However, there was a similar response in patients undergoing laparoscopic compared with open approaches. Conclusions The postoperative IR was greater in patients with CD than those with UC. This is important to tackle in preoperative optimization as well as postoperative recovery protocols.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To determine the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients with celiac disease (CeD) (and vice versa ) compared with general-population comparators. METHODS Using Swedish histopathology and healthcare register data, we identified 48,551 patients with CeD and 83,529 with IBD diagnosed in 1969-2016. Each patient was compared with age- and sex-matched general-population comparators (CeD: n = 240,136; IBD: n = 408,195). Cox regression estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for IBD in patients with CeD and vice versa . Our main analyses were limited to events beyond the first year of follow-up to reduce potential surveillance bias. RESULTS During follow-up, 784 (1.6%) patients with CeD were diagnosed with IBD compared with 1,015 (0.4%) matched comparators. In patients with CeD, the HR for IBD was 3.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.56-4.31), with largely similar HRs for Crohn's disease (4.36; 3.72-5.11) and ulcerative colitis (3.40; 3.00-3.85). During follow-up, 644 (0.8%) patients with IBD and 597 (0.1%) comparators were diagnosed with CeD. The HR for CeD in patients with IBD was 5.49 (95% CI 4.90-6.16), with the highest risk estimates seen in ulcerative colitis (HR = 6.99; 6.07-8.05), and the HR for Crohn's disease was 3.31 (2.69-4.06). In patients with CeD and IBD, the diagnostic interval was usually <1 year; however, HRs of 3-4 were seen even after 10 years of follow-up. During 20 years of follow-up, 2.5% of patients with CeD developed incident IBD, and 1.3% of patients with IBD developed CeD. DISCUSSION The bidirectional association between CeD diagnosis and IBD warrants attention in the initial assessment and follow-up of these conditions. Their co-occurrence, independent of temporal sequence, suggests shared etiology.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often have other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), and the prevalence of any IMID is higher in IBD patients than in the general population. IBD and other IMIDs involve alterations in innate and adaptive immune responses. Their co-occurrence depends on shared immune and inflammatory processes, pathogenic mechanisms, and genetic and environmental risk factors, including drugs, especially tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. The more common IMIDs associated with IBD have been widely described, so this review focuses on the less frequent associations. The IMIDs discussed here are skin disorders (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa, and hidradenitis suppurativa), hepato-pancreatic diseases (autoimmune hepatitis, granulomatous hepatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis), endocrine diseases (autoimmune thyroid diseases, and type 1 diabetes mellitus), multiple sclerosis, and respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchiectasis, and interstitial pneumonia). The early detection of IMIDs in IBD patients is important to prevent their deleterious clinical course and limit their psychological impact. Care for IBD patients with IMIDs should be multispecialist, with a single therapeutic strategy instead of treating each disease separately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare but disabling disorder that often requires long-term immunomodulatory treatment. Background incidence rates and prevalence and risk factors for developing CIDP are still poorly defined. In the current study, we used a longitudinal population-based cohort study in The Netherlands to assess these rates and demographic factors and comorbidity associated with CIDP. METHODS We determined the incidence rate and prevalence of CIDP between 2008-2017 and the occurrence of potential risk factors in a retrospective Dutch cohort study using the Integrated Primary Care Information (IPCI) database. Cases were defined as CIDP if the diagnosis of CIDP was described in the electronic medical file. RESULTS In a source population of 928,030 persons with a contributing follow-up of 3,525,686 person-years, we identified 65 patients diagnosed with CIDP. The overall incidence rate was 0.68 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI 0.45-0.99). The overall prevalence was 7.00 per 100,000 individuals (95% CI 5.41-8.93). The overall incidence rate was higher in men compared to woman (IRR 3.00, 95% CI 1.27-7.11), and higher in elderly of 50 years or older compared to people <50 years of age (IRR 17 95% CI 4-73). Twenty percent of CIDP cases had DM and 9% a co-existing other autoimmune disease. INTERPRETATION These background rates are important to monitor changes in the frequency of CIDP following infectious disease outbreaks identify potential risk factors, and to estimate the social and economic burden of CIDP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to provide an update regarding the gut barrier and its involvement with chronic diseases, as well as to review biomarkers for identification of gut barrier integrity. This review is timely and relevant as our knowledge is increasing regarding the role of the gut microbiome and the gut barrier in health and disease. RECENT FINDINGS This review provides an overview of: the gut barrier, which is complex and comprised of the mucus layer and the intestinal apical junctional protein complex; the gut microbiome in its relation to regulating the integrity of the gut barrier; select acute and chronic conditions that are known to be associated with gut dysbiosis and impaired gut integrity or 'leaky gut'; and current means for identifying loss in gut barrier integrity. SUMMARY Many chronic conditions are associated with gut dysbiosis and systemic inflammation. Identifying whether the gut barrier is compromised in these conditions could help to inform potential therapeutics as a means to correct losses in gut barrier integrity and mitigate associated medical conditions.

Abstract
Simple Summary The present study selected four genes strongly related to autoimmunity. Their expression was found to be significantly altered in melanoma patients according to a multi-validation procedure carried out on 1948 patients. Such genes may represent suitable molecular targets to further investigate the role autoimmunity may play in melanoma setup and development. Our data suggest that autoimmunity may play a beneficial role in melanoma set up, at least to some extent. Abstract (1) Background. Immune response dysregulation plays a key role in melanoma, as suggested by the substantial prognosis improvement observed under immune-modulation therapy. Similarly, the role of autoimmunity is under large investigation in melanoma and other cancers. (2) Methods. Expression of 98 autoimmunity-related genes was investigated in 1948 individuals (1024 melanoma and 924 healthy controls). Data were derived from four independent databases, namely, GEO in the selection phase, and Ist Online, GEPIA2 and GENT2, in three sequential validation-steps. ROC analyses were performed to measure the ability to discriminate melanoma from controls. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to combine expression data; survival analysis was carried out on the GEPIA2 platform. (3) Results. Expression levels of NOD2, BAX, IL-18 and ADRB2 were found to be significantly different in melanoma vs. controls and discriminate melanoma from controls in an extremely effective way, either as single molecules (AUC > 0.93 in all cases) or as a profile, according to the PCA analysis. Patients showing high-expression of NOD2 and of IL-18 also show a significant survival improvement as compared to low-expression patients. (4) Conclusions. Four genes strongly related to autoimmunity show a significant altered expression in melanoma samples, highlighting the role they may play in melanoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult patients with both inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease (CeD) have peculiar phenotypic features. This study aimed at describing the characteristics and natural history of children with both IBD and CeD. METHODS This was a case-control study based on a national registry. Cases included children diagnosed with both IBD and CeD. Two matched IBD controls without CeD, and 2 matched CeD controls were selected for each case. Inflammatory bowel disease phenotype and natural history, comprising growth and pubertal development, were compared between groups. RESULTS Forty-nine (1.75%) patients with IBD and CeD were identified out of 2800 patients with IBD. Compared with patients with IBD alone, patients with IBD and CeD presented more frequently with autoimmune diseases (odds ratio, 2.81; 95% CI, 0.97-8.37; P = 0.04). Ileocolonic localization (46.1% vs 73.1%), treatment with azathioprine (46.2% vs 71.2%), and anti-TNF biologics (46.2% vs 69.2%) were less common in patients with Crohn's disease and CeD than in patients with Crohn's disease alone. Patients with ulcerative colitis and CeD had an increased risk of colectomy despite similar medical treatments compared with patients with ulcerative colitis alone (13.0% vs 0%). Pubertal delay was more common in patients with IBD and CeD compared with patients with IBD alone (14.9% vs 3.2%; odds artio, 5.24; 95% CI, 1.13-33.0; P = 0.02) and CeD alone (14.9% vs 1.1%; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Children with IBD and CeD may have peculiar features with a higher risk for autoimmune diseases, colectomy, and pubertal delay compared with IBD alone.

Abstract
Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antibodies have become an indispensable part in the therapeutic landscape of treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Nevertheless, they can be associated with the occurrence of severe systemic side effects. Here, we report the case of a 23-year-old patient with ileocolonic Crohn's disease in endoscopic remission under ongoing anti-TNF infliximab therapy with occurrence of novel generalized arthralgia, pleuritic chest pain, and dyspnea. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging diagnostic workup in an extended clinical routine setting at the University Hospital of Erlangen, Germany, was used by a multidisciplinary team consisting of gastroenterologists, radiologists, cardiologists, and rheumatologists to investigate the underlying cause of the clinical symptoms in the patient. The results received using the aforementioned diagnostic setup led to the diagnosis of severe constrictive perimyocarditis due to infliximab-induced lupus-like syndrome with distinct ANA reactivity and elevated anti-dsDNA levels. Furthermore, pronounced ischemic hepatitis was diagnosed. Infliximab treatment was immediately stopped, and initiated corticosteroid pulse therapy only led to partial response as it had to be reduced due to pronounced psychiatric side effects. Persistent signs of pericarditis required additional ibuprofen therapy, which led to subsequent resolution of cardial symptoms. Formerly elevated liver enzymes returned to normal, and there were no clinical signs of recurrence of Crohn's disease activity over 18 months of follow-up. The patient was subsequently switched to ustekinumab therapy for further treatment of underlying Crohn's disease. This case report describes for the first time severe infliximab-induced lupus-like syndrome in an IBD patient, concurrently mimicking ST-elevation myocardial infarction with MRI visualization of pericarditis, occurrence of ischemic hepatitis, and pronounced signs of systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Background Serum anti-proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA) is a disease-specific antibody against granulomatosis with polyangiitis. PR3-ANCA is a useful serological marker for disease severity in ulcerative colitis (UC). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether PR3-ANCA levels could also predict the success of induction therapy and to compare its performance against other markers, including serum CRP and fecal hemoglobin. Methods This was a multicenter retrospective study. In total, 159 patients with active-phase UC underwent colonoscopy. Disease activity was measured using the Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES). PR3-ANCA positivity and the response to induction therapy, either 5-aminosalicylic acid or steroid, were assessed. PR3-ANCA, CRP, and fecal hemoglobin were measured during the active phase, and during clinical remission. Results Eighty-five (53.5%) of 159 patients with active UC were positive for PR3-ANCA. PR3-ANCA titers were significantly higher in the group of patients with MES 3 compared to patients with MES 1 (P = 0.002) or MES 2 (P = 0.035). Steroid therapy was administered to 56 patients with a median partial Mayo score of 7 (5–9), which is equivalent to moderate-to-severe disease activity. PR3-ANCA positivity of non-responders to steroid therapy was significantly higher than that of responders (71.9% vs, 41.7%, P = 0.030), whereas CRP and fecal hemoglobin were not predictive of steroid response. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that PR3-ANCA positivity was associated with non-response to steroid therapy (odds ratio 5.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.54–17.5; P = 0.008). Of the 37 patients treated to clinical remission who were also positive for PR3-ANCA during the active phase, 27 had an MES of ≥ 1, and 10 patients had an MES of 0. In clinical remission, the proportion of patients with MES 0 in 17 patients whose PR3-ANCA became negative was significantly higher than that in 20 patients whose PR3-ANCA remained positive (47.1% vs. 10.0%, P = 0.023). Conclusions PR3-ANCA not only serves as a marker of disease activity, but also predicts the failure of steroid therapy in moderate-to-severe UC. Trial registration: This study was retrospectively registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry System (000039174) on January 16, 2020.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are at risk of developing a variety of other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). The influence of co-occurring IMIDs on the disease course of IBD remains unknown. The aim of this study was therefore to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of IMIDs on phenotypic presentation and outcome in patients with IBD. METHODS PubMed and Embase were searched from their earliest records through December 2018 and updated in October 2019 for studies reporting proportions or ratios of IBD-related disease outcomes in patients with and without co-occurring IMIDs. Meta-analyses were performed to estimate summary proportions and risks of the main outcomes. PRISMA guidelines were used, and study quality was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS A total of 93 studies were identified, comprising 16,064 IBD patients with co-occurring IMIDs and 3,451,414 IBD patients without IMIDs. Patients with IBD and co-occurring IMIDs were at increased risk of having extensive colitis or pancolitis (risk ratio, 1.38; 95% Cl, 1.25-1.52; P < 0.01, I2 = 86%) and receiving IBD-related surgeries (risk ratio, 1.17; 95% Cl, 1.01-1.36; P = 0.03; I2 = 85%) compared with patients without IMIDs. Co-occurrence of IMIDs other than primary sclerosing cholangitis in patients with IBD was associated with an increased risk of receiving immunomodulators (risk ratio, 1.15; 95% Cl, 1.06-1.24; P < 0.01; I2 = 60%) and biologic therapies (risk ratio, 1.19; 95% Cl, 1.08-1.32; P < 0.01; I2 = 53%). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis found that the presence of co-occurring IMIDs influences the disease course of IBD, including an increased risk of surgery and its phenotypical expression.

Abstract
Aim To determine the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to characterise patients with both diseases. Methods Data of 65.147 patients with T1D ≤18 years of 379 centres in Germany and Austria participating in the DPV initiative were analysed. A total of 63 children had comorbid IBD; IBD prevalence was 0.1%. Regression models were used to analyse differences in metabolic control, acute complications and steroid intake. Results Mean BMI‐SDS in patients with T1D and IBD was lower (−0.15 ± 0.11) compared to patients with T1D only (0.27 ± 0.00, p < .001). Patients with T1D and IBD had a significantly higher use of steroids (22% ± 0.05% vs. 1% ± 0.00, p < .001) and a significantly higher rate of severe hypoglycaemic events per patient year (0.33 ± 0.07 vs. 0.16 ± 0.00, p = .001). No differences were found in HbA1c levels, insulin dose and occurrence of DKA. Conclusion Although children and adolescents with T1D and IBD take steroids more often, they suffer from severe hypoglycaemia more frequently and have a lower BMI‐SDS. These findings might be explained by chronic intestinal inflammation leading to malabsorption, malnutrition and increased severe hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease that markedly elevates the risk of colon cancers and results in disability. The disrupted immune homeostasis has been recognized as a predominant player in the pathogenesis of UC. However, the overall remission rate of current therapies based on immunoregulation is still unsatisfactory. Si-Ni-San (SNS) has been found effective in relieving UC through thousands of years of clinical practice, yet the specific mechanisms of the protective effect of SNS were not fully elucidated. PURPOSE We aim to investigate the therapeutic effects of SNS against the development of chronic colitis and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS We established a DSS-induced chronic experimental colitis mouse model to evaluate the effect of SNS. RNA-sequencing, bioinformatic analysis, and in vitro studies were performed to investigate the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS Our data demonstrated that SNS significantly ameliorated chronic experimental colitis via inhibiting the expression of genes associated with inflammatory responses. Interestingly, SNS significantly suppressed DSS-induced type I interferon (IFN) responses instead of directly downregulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as Il-6. In vitro study further found that SNS selectively inhibited STING and RIG-I pathway-induced type I IFN responses by modulating TBK1- and IRF3-dependent signaling transduction. SNS also suppressed the expression of IFN-stimulated genes by directly inhibiting STAT1 and STAT2 activation. CONCLUSION Our study not only provides novel insights into the pathogenic role of type I IFN responses in colitis but also suggested that SNS or bioactive compounds derived from SNS may serve as novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of UC via interfering type I IFN-mediated inflammation.

Abstract
Interferons (IFNs) are pleiotropic immune-modulatory cytokines that are well known for their essential role in host defense against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogenic microorganisms. They can exert both, protective or destructive functions depending on the microorganism, the targeted tissue and the cellular context. Interferon signaling results in the induction of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) influencing different cellular pathways including direct anti-viral/anti-bacterial response, immune-modulation or cell death. Multiple pathways leading to host cell death have been described, and it is becoming clear that depending on the cellular context, IFN-induced cell death can be beneficial for both: host and pathogen. Accordingly, activation or repression of corresponding signaling mechanisms occurs during various types of infection but is also an important pathway for gastrointestinal inflammation and tissue damage. In this review, we summarize the role of interferons at the crossroad of various cell death pathways in the gut during inflammation and infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The risk of thyroid disorders (TDs) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still controversial. The aim of this retrospective, single-center, case-control study was to explore the association between clinically relevant functional TDs and IBD. METHODS Consecutive individuals for a total of 313 IBD patients [90 Crohn's disease (CD); 223 ulcerative colitis (UC)], and 833 individuals undergoing colonoscopy for screening without IBD were collected. In the study, subject's information on thyroid status were retrieved. Thyroid disorders were classified, according to the functional status, as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Patients with TDs (cases) were compared with 941 without (controls) according to IBD exposure. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. RESULTS Clinically relevant TDs were detected in 205 (17,9%) patients and the prevalence was significantly lower in IBD patients compared with subjects without (8.3% vs 12.9%; p = 0.029). After adjusting for potential confounders, a higher TDs risk was confirmed in female (OR 2.72; 95%CI 1.88‒3.92) and older subjects (OR 1.01; 95%CI 1.00‒1.03), and a lower risk in IBD (OR 0.51; 95%CI 0.34‒0.76), especially for hypothyroidism (OR 0.33; 95%CI 0.17‒0.66) in UC. Among four thyroid cancers, only one was detected in IBD patients. CONCLUSIONS Overall, in our study, the risk of TDs was lower in IBD patients. To assess routinely hormones and/or thyroid gland imaging in the absence of clinical signs or symptoms seems unnecessary in IBD patients, at least in our geographic area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS There is controversy over the association between celiac disease (CeD) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess evidence for an association between CeD and IBD. METHODS We searched databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science, CINAHL, DARE, and SIGLE through June 25, 2019 for studies assessing the risk of CeD in patients with IBD, and IBD in patients with CeD, compared with controls of any type. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale to evaluate the risk of bias and GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence. RESULTS We identified 9791 studies and included 65 studies in our analysis. Moderate certainty evidence found an increased risk of CeD in patients with IBD vs controls (risk ratio [RR] 3.96; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.23-7.02) and increased risk of IBD in patients with CeD vs controls (RR 9.88; 95% CI 4.03-24.21). There was low-certainty evidence for the risk of anti-Saccharomyces antibodies, a serologic marker of IBD, in patients with CeD vs controls (RR 6.22; 95% CI 2.44-15.84). There was low-certainty evidence for no difference in risk of HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 in patients with IBD vs controls (RR 1.04; 95% CI 0.42-2.56), and very low-certainty evidence for an increased risk of anti-tissue transglutaminase in patients with IBD vs controls (RR 1.52; 95% CI 0.52-4.40). Patients with IBD had a slight decrease in risk of anti-endomysial antibodies vs controls (RR 0.70; 95% CI 0.18-2.74), but these results are uncertain. CONCLUSIONS In a systematic review and meta-analysis, we found an increased risk of IBD in patients with CeD and increased risk of CeD in patients with IBD, compared with other patient populations. High-quality prospective cohort studies are needed to assess the risk of CeD-specific and IBD-specific biomarkers in patients with IBD and CeD.

Abstract
Introduction The association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) - particularly its two main subtypes, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) - and celiac disease (CeD) has been attributed to an overlap in the mechanism of immune dysregulation that characterizes these conditions. Owing to the paucity of studies that have explored this condition in pediatric patients, we examined the prevalence of CeD in children with IBD. Materials and methods This is a cross-sectional study of children aged two to 18 years with IBD that were diagnosed between 2016 and 2018. Clinical, demographic, laboratory, and endoscopic data were analysed. Serology for CeD measured the immunoglobulin A tissue transglutaminase (IgA-tTG) antibodies, and the diagnosis was confirmed histologically through small bowel biopsies. Results The study included 101 patients with IBD (83.2% with UC and 16.8% with CD). The mean age was 8.7±4.0 years. Males constituted 59.4% of the cohort, and only 3% had perianal disease. Ileocolonic involvement was reported in 64.7% and non-stricturing and non-penetrating behaviour in 76.7% of CD patients. Pancolitis constituted 45.2% of UC patients. Ten patients (9.9%) had positive serology based on IgA-tTG antibodies, three (approximately 3%) had CeD based on biopsy findings, two patients (2%) had CD, and one patient (1%) had UC. Patients with confirmed CeD had a significantly higher frequency of symptoms of gaseous sensation and bloating (P=0.003) and abdominal distension (P=0.04). Conclusions The prevalence of CeD in Egyptian children with IBD is higher than previously reported in a number of similar studies. Abdominal bloating and gaseous sensation were identified as associated symptoms.

Abstract
Patients and providers alike are highly interested in identifying potentially useful dietary interventions in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). This review examines the clinical associations of celiac disease (CeD), non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), and IBD with a focus on available data of the therapeutic efficacy of gluten-free diet (GFD) or low-gluten-containing diets in the therapy of IBD. There is a strong association between CeD and microscopic colitis, but the prevalence of CeD among IBD patients is similar to that of the general population. Interestingly, in cross-sectional studies nearly one-third of IBD patients report a diagnosis of NCGS, and many follow a GFD. Although animal studies have shown that gluten ingestion may promote intestinal inflammation and increase intestinal permeability, there have been no prospective studies evaluating the role of a GFD in the induction and maintenance of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Several cross-sectional reports suggest that a GFD may improve symptoms in IBD patients, but due to a lack of high-quality prospective clinical studies, current data do not support the universal use of a GFD in IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with various immune- and non-immune-mediated conditions. We aimed to assess the association of inflammatory bowel diseases with comorbidities at late adolescence. METHODS Jewish Israeli adolescents who underwent a general health evaluation prior to enlistment to the Israeli Defense Forces from 2002 to 2016 were included. RESULTS Overall, 891 subjects (595 Crohn's disease, 296 ulcerative colitis, median age 17.1 years) and 1,141,841 controls were analyzed. Crohn's disease was associated with arthritis (odds ratio (OR) 4.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.4-9.1), thyroid disease (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.2-5.5), atopic dermatitis (OR 2, 95% CI 1.1-3.6), autoimmune hepatitis (OR 4.4, 95% CI 2.3-8.6), nephrolithiasis (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.2-11.4), and pancreatitis (OR 41.8, 95% CI 17.2-101.9). Ulcerative colitis was associated with arthritis (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.0-9.8), thyroid disease (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.2-19.4), autoimmune hepatitis (OR 8, 95% CI 4-16.2), and pancreatitis (OR 51, 95% CI 16.1-158.9). Primary sclerosing cholangitis was associated with both diseases. Asthma, celiac, type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, and bone fractures were not more common in both diseases. Male predominance was noted for most associations. CONCLUSIONS At adolescence, both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are associated with multiple comorbidities, not limited to autoimmune disorders.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still unclear, but includes both inflammatory and autoimmune reactions. Current methodological approaches could better elucidate the cytokine pathways and the genetics involved in the etiopathogenesis of this disease. Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines that play a key role in autoimmune/inflammatory disorders because of their pro- and anti-inflammatory properties as well as their immunoregulatory functions. An increased expression of IFN-regulated genes, widely known as an IFN signature, has been reported in blood and tissue from patients with autoimmune disorders. In this review, we present the function as well as the clinical and therapeutic potential of the IFN signature. Current data demonstrate that the IFN signature can be used as a biomarker that defines disease activity in autoimmune diseases, although this has not been thoroughly studied in IBD. Consequently, further investigation of the IFN signature in IBD would be essential for a better understanding of its actions.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies are therapeutic monoclonal Ig that act by highly specific binding to their target antigen and by interacting with the immune system. Their side effects are mainly related to their mechanism of action. The most frequent adverse effects are infusion reactions. Post-marketing surveillance is essential for identifying adverse reactions and improving knowledge of their mechanism of action.
