Abstract
Complications of Crohn's disease reach far beyond postsurgical leak, infection, and enterocutaneous fistula. Malnutrition, intestinal failure, and recurrent disease all will require ongoing attentions. The management of these patients may further be complicated by the need for chronic immunosuppression. The underlying principles continue to include optimization of nutritional status, and preservation of bowel length when possible. However, there have been several recent advances in both the medical and surgical management of the disease. Understanding the contribution of the mesentery to inflammation, new surgical techniques such as the Kono-S anastomosis and extended mesenteric resection is decreasing the need for repeated resections.

Talafha MM, Qasem A, Naser SA. Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis Infection Suppresses Vitamin D Activation and Cathelicidin Production in Macrophages through Modulation of the TLR2-Dependent p38/MAPK-CYP27B1-VDR-CAMP Axis. Nutrients 2024; 16:1358. [PMID: 38732603 PMCID: PMC11085596 DOI: 10.3390/nu16091358] [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: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D plays a vital role in modulating both innate and adaptive immune systems. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with higher levels of autoimmune response and increased susceptibility to infections. CYP27B1 encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. It is instrumental in the conversion of circulating vitamin D (calcifediol) to active vitamin D (calcitriol). This is a crucial step for macrophages to express Cathelicidin Anti-microbial Peptide (CAMP), an anti-bacterial factor released during the immune response. Our recent study indicated that a Crohn's disease (CD)-associated pathogen known as Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) decreases vitamin D activation in macrophages, thereby impeding cathelicidin production and MAP infection clearance. The mechanism by which MAP infection exerts these effects on the vitamin D metabolic axis remains elusive. METHODS We used two cell culture models of THP-1 macrophages and Caco-2 monolayers to establish the effects of MAP infection on the vitamin D metabolic axis. We also tested the effects of Calcifediol, Calcitriol, and SB203580 treatments on the relative expression of the vitamin D metabolic genes, oxidative stress biomarkers, and inflammatory cytokines profile. RESULTS In this study, we found that MAP infection interferes with vitamin D activation inside THP-1 macrophages by reducing levels of CYP27B1 and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene expression via interaction with the TLR2-dependent p38/MAPK pathway. MAP infection exerts its effects in a time-dependent manner, with the maximal inhibition observed at 24 h post-infection. We also demonstrated the necessity to have toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) for MAP infection to influence CYP27B1 and CAMP expression, as TLR2 gene knockdown resulted in an average increase of 7.78 ± 0.88 and 13.90 ± 3.5 folds in their expression, respectively. MAP infection also clearly decreased the levels of p38 phosphorylation and showed dependency on the p38/MAPK pathway to influence the expression of CYP27B1, VDR, and CAMP which was evident by the average fold increase of 1.93 ± 0.28, 1.86 ± 0.27, and 6.34 ± 0.51 in their expression, respectively, following p38 antagonism. Finally, we showed that calcitriol treatment and p38/MAPK blockade reduce cellular oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in Caco-2 monolayers following macrophage-mediated MAP infection. CONCLUSIONS This study characterized the primary mechanism by which MAP infection leads to diminished levels of active vitamin D and cathelicidin in CD patients, which may explain the exacerbated vitamin D deficiency state in these cases.

Abstract
Intestinal transplantation has emerged as an accepted treatment choice for individuals experiencing irreversible intestinal failure. This treatment is particularly relevant for those who are not candidates or have poor response to autologous gut reconstruction or trophic hormone therapy, and who can no longer be sustained on parenteral nutrition. One of the main goals of transplant is to eliminate the need for parenteral support and its associated complications, while safely restoring complete nutrition autonomy. An intestinal transplant is a complex process that goes beyond merely replacing the intestines to provide nourishment and ceasing parenteral support. It requires an integrated management approach in the pretransplant and posttransplant setting, and high-quality nutrition treatment is one of the cornerstones leading to favorable outcomes and long-term management. Since the outset of intestinal transplant in the early 2000s, there is observed improvement of achieving nutrition autonomy sooner in the initial posttransplant phase; however, the development of nutrition complications in the chronic posttransplant period remains a long-term risk. This review delineates the decision-making process and clinical protocols used to nutritionally manage and monitor pre- and post-intestine transplant patients.

Abstract
Introduction Crohn's disease (CD) with short bowel syndrome (SBS) can present as chronic intestinal failure (CIF) often requiring nutritional support. Teduglutide is a treatment option for these patients. We investigated clinical outcomes of CD-CIF patients with SBS treated with teduglutide. Methods Adults with CD-CIF and SBS who received teduglutide were identified at a tertiary care academic center between 2012 and 2023. Data was collected retrospectively. Primary outcome measured was reduction in parenteral support (PS) by ≥20% volume, with PS defined as utilization of parenteral nutrition (PN) or intravenous fluids (IVF). Several secondary outcomes included immunosuppressive medication changes, subjective symptom improvement, and stool output. Results We identified 32 patients with CD-CIF and SBS receiving teduglutide. Comparing clinical outcomes before and after teduglutide, 26 of 32 patients achieved the primary outcome of ≥20% PS reduction. A decrease was seen in patients requiring PN + IVF, with corresponding increases in patients requiring PN only and IVF only. Among all 3 groups, a total of 23 patients received PN prior to teduglutide, which decreased to 14 following teduglutide. Weekly PN volume reduced from 7.00 to 3.55 L and weekly frequency decreased from 7.00 to 3.00 instances (P < .01). Reductions in weekly volume and frequency were observed among all patients receiving IVF support (25 vs 15). Secondary outcomes showed improvement in patient reported subjective symptoms (84.4%), stool output (90.6%), patients meeting criteria for diarrhea/high ostomy output (27 vs 14), and use of unique antidiarrheal medications (3.0 vs 2.0). Conclusions This retrospective case series demonstrated improved clinical outcomes in patients with CD-CIF and SBS treated with teduglutide resulting in decreased PS requirements, antidiarrheal medications requirement, and stool output without significant effects on immunosuppressive therapy.

The long-term effect on surgery-free survival of biological compared to conventional therapy in Crohn's disease in real world-data: a retrospective study. BMC Gastroenterol 2023; 23:438. [PMID: 38097975 PMCID: PMC10720171 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-03074-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction of biological drugs has led to great expectations and growing optimism in the possibility that this new therapeutic strategy could favourably change the natural history of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and, in particular, that it could lead to a significant reduction in surgery in the short and long term. This study aims to assess the impact of biological versus conventional therapy on surgery-free survival time (from the diagnosis to the first bowel resection) and on the overall risk of surgery in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who were never with the surgical option. METHODS This is a retrospective, double-arm study including CD patients treated with either biological or conventional therapy (mesalamine, immunomodulators, antibiotics, or steroids). All CD patients admitted at the GI Unit of the S. Salvatore Hospital (L'Aquila. Italy) and treated with biological therapy since 1998 were included in the biological arm. Data concerning the CD patients receiving a conventional therapy were retrospectively collected from our database. These patients were divided into a pre-1998 and post-1998 group. Our primary outcome was the evaluation of the surgery-free survival since CD diagnosis to the first bowel resection. Surgery-free time and event incidence rates were calculated and compared among all groups, both in the original population and in the propensity-matched population. RESULTS Two hundred three CD patients (49 biological, 93 conventional post-1998, 61 conventional pre-1998) were included in the study. Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimate shows that patients in the biological arm had a longer surgery-free survival compared to those in the conventional arm (p = 0.03). However, after propensity matching analysis, conducted on 143 patients, no significant difference was found in surgery-free survival (p = 0.3). A sub-group analysis showed shorter surgery-free survival in patients on conventional therapy in the pre-biologic era only (p = 0.02; Hazard Ratio 2.9; CI 1.01-8.54) while no significant difference was found between the biologic and conventional post-biologic groups (p = 0.15; Hazard Ratio 2.1; CI 0.69-6.44). CONCLUSION This study shows that the introduction of biological therapy has only a slight impact on the eventual occurrence of surgery in CD patients over a long observation period. Nevertheless, biological therapy appears to delay the first intestinal resection.

Abstract
This case is about a 38-year-old male patient with a history of type III intestinal failure due to chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction caused by gastrointestinal dysmotility, cardiac and intestinal arrhythmia syndrome, dependence on parenteral nutrition, sinus dysfunction, and carrying a pacemaker. The patient presented with symptoms suggestive of a new episode of intestinal obstruction. A contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography scan was performed, revealing intestinal obstruction with a transition zone in the jejunum. Non-operative medical management of the obstructive condition was initiated. However, after 10 days of medical management, the patient began experiencing nausea and dizziness. Initially, symptomatic management was provided, but the patient reported persistent vertigo-like sensations. Following evaluation by multiple specialties, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was requested, which showed bilateral and symmetrical hyperintensity on T2-weighted images of the dorsomedial aspect of the thalami around the third ventricle, in the periaqueductal gray matter, the mesencephalic tectum, and, to a lesser extent, the bulbar tectum, findings suggestive of Wernicke's encephalopathy. Urgent intravenous thiamine replacement was initiated. After 10 days of effective treatment, the patient exhibited a nearly complete improvement in symptoms. A follow-up MRI was ordered, indicating considerable improvement when compared to the previous study.

Abstract
Attending diligently to the nutrition and hydration needs of patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a key tenet of their care, both postoperatively and in the years that follow. For, without each, patients are left to themselves to navigate the nutrition consequences of SBS, including malnutrition, nutrient deficiencies, renal compromise, osteoporosis, fatigue, depression, and impaired quality of life. The intent of this review is to discuss the initial nutrition assessment, oral diet, hydration, and home nutrition support for the patient with SBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble dietary fiber (SDF) obtained from Lentinula edodes byproducts has beneficial effects on human intestinal health. This study aimed to examine the combined preventive and ameliorative effects of a kind of synbiotic (SDF with a molecular weight of 1.58 × 102 kDa and Lactobacillus plantarum LP90 (LP) at 1 × 109 CFU kg-1 ) on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis mice. RESULTS The results demonstrated that synbiotic treatment could alleviate weight loss, decrease the disease activity index level and cause histological amelioration. Synbiotic treatment also promoted the production of goblet cells, increased the expression of tight junction proteins, and adjusted the production of myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase to repair intestinal epithelial injury. Clinical symptoms were alleviated by maintaining Th17/Treg balance, increasing interleukin 10 and immunoglobulin A levels, reducing interleukin 17a and tumor necrosis factor α production, and promoting mRNA to highly express of Foxp3 and vitamin D receptors. Moreover, synbiotic treatment could upregulate butyric acid production (4.71 ± 0.46 mol g-1 feces, P < 0.05) and diversity of intestinal microbial to maintain intestinal homeostasis. CONCLUSION This study suggested that the combination of LP and SDF as a synbiotic has the potential for use as a nutritional supplement to alleviate colitis. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Extensive resection of the small intestine leads to the development of short bowel syndrome (SBS), which reduces the effective absorptive surface area of the intestine and predisposes patients to emaciation, malnutrition, and other severe symptoms. Herein, green tea catechin (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and ferrous ions (Fe2+ ) are utilized to construct a nutrient carrier platform that self-assembles with nutrients to form phenolic-based nutrient complexes (PNCs). PNCs effectively prolong the residence and absorption time of nutrients in the intestine. Further this platform is applied to integrate full nutrient formula, an enteral nutrition (EN) preparation containing a range of full nutrient components. In an SBS rat model, the prepared phenolic-based integrative nutrient complexes (PINCs) enhance nutritional status, improve anemia and immune function, as well as facilitate the growth of remaining intestinal villi and crypts, and maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier. In addition, PINCs enable the modulation of gut microbial dysbiosis, enrich the abundance of beneficial bacteria, and have no toxic effects after the long-term ingestion. These results provide a proof of principle for the use of polyphenol-based nanocomplexes as EN preparation, offering a feasible strategy for both nutritional support and therapeutic perspectives for SBS treatment.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-saving intervention for patients where oral or enteral nutrition (EN) cannot be achieved or is not acceptable. The essential components of PN are carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes and water. PN should be provided via a central line because of its hypertonicity. However, peripheral PN (with lower nutrient content and larger volume) can be administered via an appropriate non-central line. There are alternatives for the compounding process also, including hospital pharmacy compounded bags and commercial multichamber bags. PN is a costly therapy and has been associated with complications. Metabolic complications related to macro and micronutrient disturbances, such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and electrolyte imbalance, may occur at any time during PN therapy, as well as infectious complications, mostly related to venous access. Long-term complications, such as hepatobiliary and bone disease are associated with longer PN therapy and home-PN. To prevent and mitigate potential complications, the optimal monitoring and early management of imbalances is required. PN should be prescribed for malnourished patients or high-risk patients with malnutrition where the feasibility of full EN is in question. Several factors should be considered when providing PN, including timing of initiation, clinical status, and risk of complications.

Abstract
In patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) that underwent surgery, predictive factors of surgical recurrence have been only partially identified. The aim of our study was to identify potential factors associated with an increased risk of surgical recurrence. A monocentric retrospective observational study was conducted including patients diagnosed with CD, according to ECCO criteria who received their first ileocolic resection. Overall, 162 patients were enrolled in our study; 54 of them were excluded due to a lack of sufficient data. The median follow-up was 136.5 months, IQR 91.5−176.5, and the surgical recurrence rate after the median follow-up was 21.3%. In the multivariate analysis, an age ≤ 28 years at the first surgical resection (aHR = 16.44, p < 0.001), current smoking (aHR = 15.84, p < 0.001), female sex (aHR = 7.58, p < 0.001), presence of granulomas at local lymph nodes (aHR = 12.19, p < 0.001), and treatment with systemic corticosteroids after the first surgical resection (aHR = 7.52, p = 0.002) were factors significantly associated with a risk of surgical recurrence, while cryptitis resulted in a protective factor (aHR = 0.02, p < 0.001). In conclusion, the heterogeneous spectrum of factors associated to the risk of surgical recurrence in patients with CD that underwent ileocolic resection supports the need of a personalized follow-up taking into account different clinical, surgical, and histologic features.

Effect of Weaning at 21 Days of Age on the Content of Bile Acids in Chyme of Cecum. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12162138. [PMID: 36009728 PMCID: PMC9405307 DOI: 10.3390/ani12162138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of weaning at 21 days of age on cecal chyme bile acids (BAs) in piglets. According to a 2 × 3 factorial design, the main factors were lactation and weaning, and the other factor was 22, 24, and 28 days of age, respectively. Piglets were randomly divided into two groups of eighteen piglets each and six piglets were selected for slaughter at 22, 24, and 28 days of age, respectively, to determine the content of different types of Bas in the intestinal lumen of the cecum. Results: (1) There was a significant interaction between weaning and age on intestinal primary Bas hyocholic acid (HCA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) (p < 0.05), and weaning significantly increased the content of primary BAs in piglets’ intestines, which showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing with the increase in piglets’ age. (2) There was a significant interaction between weaning and age on intestinal secondary BAs deoxycholic acid (DCA), lithocholic acid (LCA), and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) (p < 0.05). DCA and LCA in piglets’ intestines tended to decrease with increasing age, while UDCA showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing with increasing piglets’ age; weaning significantly increased the content of secondary BAs in piglets’ intestines. (3) There was a significant interaction between weaning and age on intestinal glycine chenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA), and taurolithocholic acid (TLCA), but not on taurohyocholic acid (THCA), taurohyodeoxycholic acid (THDCA), and taurineursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) (p > 0.05). Weaning significantly increased the contents of GCDCA, TCDCA, TLCA, THDCA, and TUDCA in the intestinal tract (p < 0.05), while THCA content was not significant. In conclusion, weaning can increase the BAs content in the cecum of piglets, and there is an interaction between group and weaning age on BAs content.

Abstract
The development of new drugs for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is remarkable, and treatment strategies using multiple agents and various techniques are required; however, the treatment strategy is likely to be complex. Therefore, appropriate evaluation of traditional surgical treatment strategies and accurate knowledge of the efficacy and limitations of novel treatments are required. Total infectious complications were found to be associated with the use of corticosteroids and anti‐tumor necrosis factor‐α agents, but not with immunomodulators, anti‐integrin agents, and 5‐aminosalicylic acid. Regarding surgical procedures for IBD, conceived anastomosis methods, including Kono‐S for Crohn's disease stenosis, are associated with better outcomes than conventional techniques. Autologous cell transplantation for Crohn's fistulae has been shown to have a favorable outcome. Diverticulitis is increasing and will be treated more frequently in the future. Risk factors for the incidence of diverticulitis and differences in pathogenesis according to right or left side diverticulitis have been reported. Antibiotic therapy may be omitted for uncomplicated diverticulitis. Moreover, regarding surgical procedures, both bowel resection and anastomosis are associated with favorable short‐term outcomes, higher stoma closure rate, and superior medical economy compared to Hartmann's procedure. Risk factors for recurrence after diverticulitis surgery may provide better postoperative follow‐up. In this review, we explore the current topics of colorectal benign diseases, focusing on IBD and diverticulitis, based on clinical trials and meta‐analyses from 2020‐2021. This review consolidates the available knowledge and improves the quality of surgical procedures and perioperative management for IBD and diverticulitis.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Sarcopenia: Its Mechanism and Clinical Importance. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10184214.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a major contributor to muscle loss and muscle dysfunction, known as sarcopenia. Malnutrition is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The number of patients with IBD has recently been increasing. More severe malnutrition is often seen in CD compared to UC, probably due to CD affecting the main site of nutrient absorption, extensive mucosal lesions, fistulas, short bowel syndrome after resection, or obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract. A recent meta-analysis showed the high prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with IBD, and thus sarcopenia is a very important problem for IBD. Although IBD is more common in younger patients, sarcopenia can develop through a variety of mechanisms, including malnutrition, chronic inflammation, increased inflammatory status in adipose tissue, vitamin deficiency, and imbalance of the muscle–gut axis. In addition, sarcopenia has a negative impact on postoperative complications and hospital stay in patients with IBD. Appropriate intervention for sarcopenia may be important, in addition to clinical remission and endoscopic mucosal healing in patients with IBD. Much more attention will thus be paid to sarcopenia in patients with IBD. In this review, we outline IBD and sarcopenia, based on the current evidence.
