Abstract
INTRODUCTION Perianal disease occurs in up to 34% of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. An estimated 25% of women will become pregnant after the initial diagnosis, thus introducing the dilemma of whether mode of delivery affects perianal disease. The aim of our study was to analyze whether a cesarean section (C-section) or vaginal delivery influence perianal involvement. We hypothesized the delivery route would not alter post-partum perianal manifestations in the setting of previously healed perianal disease. METHODS All consecutive eligible IBD female patients between 1997 and 2022 who delivered were included. Prior perianal involvement, perianal flare after delivery and delivery method were noted. RESULTS We identified 190 patients with IBD who had a total of 322 deliveries; 169 (52%) were vaginal and 153 (48%) were by C-section. Nineteen women (10%) experienced 21/322 (6%) post-partum perianal flares. Independent predictors were previous abdominal surgery for IBD (OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1-7.2; p = 0.042), ileocolonic involvement (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.1-9.4; p = 0.030), previous perianal disease (OR, 22; 95% CI, 7-69; p < 0.001), active perianal disease (OR, 96; 95% CI, 21-446; p < 0.001) and biologic (OR, 4.4; 95% CI,1.4-13.6; p < 0.011) or antibiotic (OR, 19.6; 95% CI, 7-54; p < 0.001) treatment. Negative association was found for vaginal delivery (OR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.06-0.61; p < 0.005). Number of post-partum flares was higher in the C-section group [17 (11%) vs. 4 (2%), p = 0.002]. CONCLUSIONS Delivery by C-section section was not protective of ongoing perianal disease activity post-delivery, but should be recommended for women with active perianal involvement.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effectiveness of continuity of care in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. BACKGROUND The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is increasing by years, especially in China. Moreover, IBD is prolonged and difficult to heal, which seriously impairs the quality of life of patients. Some studies have identified that continuity of care could contribute to the improvement of the quality of life, but the results remains inconclusive in patients with IBD. METHODS PRISMA guidelines was the outline of this study. Review Manager Software (version 5.3) was used to carry out the data analysis. Outcome assessments included quality of life (QoL), remission rates, number of outpatient clinic visits, and medication adherence. RESULTS Ultimately, 12 studies involving 2415 patients were brought into this meta-analysis. The results indicated there was no significant difference for continuity of care to improve the QoL in intervention group (SMD = 0.02, 95% CI: -0.08, 0.12). Besides, the remission rates of disease had no difference with those patients in the two groups (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 0.72, 1.60). However, continued care could contribute to the number of outpatient clinic visits (MD = -0.84, 95% CI: -1.19, -0.49) and patients' adherence to medication significantly (OR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.16, 4.95). CONCLUSIONS IBD patients could benefited from continuity of care with reducing their number of clinic visits and improving medication adherence. Nonetheless, there was no evidence of continuity of care contribute to QoL and remission of disease for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development and implementation of the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare systems for adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should consider stakeholders' perceptions. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing the transition of Chinese adolescents with IBD from the perspectives of patients, parents, and healthcare providers. METHODS A descriptive qualitative research was conducted. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 36 participants, including 13 patients, 13 parents, and 10 providers, from a tertiary pediatric IBD center, a tertiary adult IBD center, and the China Crohn's & Colitis Foundation in Zhejiang Province, China. Individual semi-structured interviews were used to collect data on facilitators and barriers to the transition process. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze the interview transcripts. RESULTS Nine primary themes were identified. Patients with young age, prolonged disease duration, severe disease, academic pressures such as the Gaokao, low level of disease acceptance, limited transition consciousness, low self-efficacy, poor transition communication, and inadequate medical transition system serve as barriers. While patients with the mentality of guilt towards their parents; parents with low education levels and intensive work schedules, high levels of disease acceptance, and situations of parent-child separation; stakeholders with high transition consciousness, high transition self-efficacy, and effective transition communication act as facilitators. Furthermore, community support and hospital guide services were also contributing factors during the transition. CONCLUSIONS This study offers comprehensive insights into the factors affecting the transition of Chinese adolescent IBD patients. The process is continuously influenced by stakeholders, community, and healthcare environments and policies. Identifying these factors provides healthcare providers with a reference for developing and implementing targeted transition interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior epidemiological observational studies have duly documented a correlative link between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and bladder cancer (BC); however, the establishment of a definitive causal relationship has remained elusive. The principal objective of this meticulous investigation was to rigorously evaluate the causal nexus between IBD and BC, employing the robust methodology of Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS We meticulously performed both univariate and multivariate Mendelian randomization (MVMR) analyses employing publicly accessible genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. The central approach employed for our investigations was inverse variance weighting (IVW) method, while diligently scrutinizing potential sources of heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy via the rigorous utilization of Cochran's Q test, the MR-PRESSO method, and MR-Egger. RESULTS In the univariate MR analysis, no causal link was observed between genetic prediction of IBD and BC. Furthermore, both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) showed no causal association with BC. The consistent association between CD and UC in the MVMR analysis supports this finding. CONCLUSION This study found no genetic basis for the causative association of IBD and BC. It is crucial to emphasize that further comprehensive investigations are warranted to delve into the intricate underlying mechanisms that may contribute to these associations.

Abstract
Intestinal epithelia impairment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) leads to the leakage of bacteria and antigens and the consequent persistent immune imbalance. Restoring the epithelial barrier is a promising therapeutic target but lacks effective and safe clinical interventions. By identifying the catalase (CAT) presence in the IBD pathological environment, we herein develop a CAT-catalyzed pathologically coating on the damaged epithelial barrier to inhibit intestinal leakage for IBD therapy. With the codelivery of CaO2 (a CAT substrate) and dopamine, the nanosystem can enable CAT-catalyzed oxygen (O2) production and in-situ polymerization of dopamine and then yield a thin and integrative polydopamine (PDA) coating on the intestinal barrier due to the highly adhesive property of PDA. In vivo study demonstrates that PDA coating provides not only a protective barrier by restricting intestinal leakage but also a favorable anti-inflammation effect. Beyond drug management, this work provides a physical repair strategy via catalyzed coating for IBD therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopy is currently recognized as the gold standard for assessing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) severity. However, because the procedure is costly and invasive, endoscopy is not suitable for frequently monitoring intestinal inflammation. In this study, our aim was to identify noninvasive, low cost, and convenient biomarkers for identifying endoscopic IBD activity. METHODS In total, 246 patients with IBD (131 with Ulcerative colitis (UC) and 115 with Crohn's disease (CD)) and 369 healthy controls were recruited for this retrospective study. IBD activity was evaluated using endoscopic and clinical examinations. The potential of several inflammatory biomarkers, including platelets (PLT), plateletcrit (PCT), albumin (ALB), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and platelet-to-albumin ratio (PLT/ALB) to assess endoscopic IBD activity was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. RESULTS PLT/ALB ratio, PLT, ALB, and hs-CRP levels were correlated with Mayo scores in UC patients, while PCT, PLT, fibrinogen (FIB), PLT/ALB ratio, hs-CRP, and ESR levels were correlated with Simple Endoscopic Scores for CD (SES-CD) in CD patients. ROC analyses showed that the area under the curve (AUC) value for the PLT/ALB ratio (0.705) was greater than hs-CRP (0.607) and ESR (0.552) values in UC patients. The AUC value for PCT (0.779) was greater than hs-CRP (0.698) and ESR (0.746) values in CD patients. CONCLUSION PLT/ALB ratio and PCT biomarkers were the most appropriate of all tested inflammatory biomarkers for assessing endoscopic IBD activity in UC and CD patients, respectively.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disorder caused by hyperactivation of effector immune cells that produce high levels of proinflammatory cytokines. The aims of our study were to determine whether orally administered blueberry extract (BE) could attenuate or prevent the development of experimental colitis in mice and to elucidate the mechanism of action. Female Balb/C mice (n=7) were randomized into groups differing in treatment conditions (prevention and treatment) and dose of BE (50 mg/kg body weight). Acute ulcerative colitis was induced by oral administration of 3% dextran sodium sulfate for 7 days in drinking water. Colonic mucosal injury was assessed by clinical, macroscopic, biochemical and histopathological examinations. BE significantly decreased disease activity index and improved the macroscopic and histological score of colons when compared to the colitis group (P<.05). BE markedly attenuated myeloperoxidase accumulation (colitis group 54.97±2.78 nmol/mg, treatment group 30.78±1.33 nmol/mg) and malondialdehyde in colon and prostaglandin E2 level in serum while increasing the levels of superoxide dismutase and catalase (colitis group 11.94±1.16 U/ml, BE treatment group 16.49±0.39 U/ml) compared with the colitis group (P<.05). mRNA levels of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, interferon-γ, interleukin (IL)-1β and inducible nitric oxide synthase cytokines were determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that BE attenuates the expression of COX-2 and IL-1β in colonic tissue. Moreover, BE reduced the nuclear translocation of nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB) by immunofluorescence analysis. Thus, the anti-inflammatory effect of BE at colorectal sites is a result of a number of mechanisms: antioxidation, down-regulation of the expression of inflammatory mediators and inhibition of the nuclear translocation of NF-κB.
