Determination of the approach of Polish gastroenterologists and surgeons to the diagnosis and treatment of complex cases of Crohn's disease-related perianal fistulas.

Perianal fistulas are a common, challenging Crohn's complication that often need combined medical and surgical care; understanding local practice patterns helps patients and clinicians anticipate typical treatments and...

Acne therapy with isotretinoin is well tolerated in patients with established inflammatory bowel disease: a retrospective, single center study.
Crohn's & colitis 360

Acne therapy with isotretinoin is well tolerated in patients with established inflammatory bowel disease: a retrospective, single center study.

Patients and clinicians worry isotretinoin might trigger flares in people with existing IBD. This study suggests that among patients with stable, well-controlled Crohn's or UC, isotretinoin did not generally worsen...

Reviewing preclinical evidence for potent anti-colitogenic effects of the "bee glue" propolis.
European journal of microbiology & immunology

Reviewing preclinical evidence for potent anti-colitogenic effects of the "bee glue" propolis.

This review compiles preclinical evidence that propolis (a natural bee product) reduced inflammation and improved gut barrier and microbiota in animal models of colitis, so it may be a candidate for future clinical...

Nanoencapsulation of phycocyanin peptides enhances anti-inflammatory activity and alleviates ulcerative colitis.
Journal of the science of food and agriculture

Nanoencapsulation of phycocyanin peptides enhances anti-inflammatory activity and alleviates ulcerative colitis.

This preclinical study suggests a food-derived peptide formulation might reduce inflammation and improve intestinal barrier markers in lab and mouse models of ulcerative colitis, which could interest people exploring new...

Gegen Qinlian decoction alleviates ulcerative colitis by remodeling the gut microbiota-bile acid axis and inhibiting NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis

This study highlights a potential microbiome–bile acid–immune pathway that could be relevant to ulcerative colitis and suggests a traditional herbal formula may influence that pathway in mice. Patients interested in...

Supplementation of Bacillus cereus Enhances Anti-Colitis Effects of Triple Probiotics in Mice: Correlative Evidence for a Gut Microbiota-Spermidine-Related Axis in Quadruple-Probiotic Protection.
Nutrients

Supplementation of Bacillus cereus Enhances Anti-Colitis Effects of Triple Probiotics in Mice: Correlative Evidence for a Gut Microbiota-Spermidine-Related Axis in Quadruple-Probiotic Protection.

People with ulcerative colitis may be interested because the study suggests a combined probiotic approach could strengthen gut bacteria functions linked to a protective metabolite (spermidine) and reduce colitis-like...

Heat-Inactivated Lacticaseibacillus paracasei PC-01 Alleviates DSS-Induced Colitis in Mice by Modulating Gut Microbiota and Intestinal Barrier Function.
Nutrients

Heat-Inactivated Lacticaseibacillus paracasei PC-01 Alleviates DSS-Induced Colitis in Mice by Modulating Gut Microbiota and Intestinal Barrier Function.

A preclinical mouse study found that heat-inactivated Lacticaseibacillus paracasei PC-01 reduced colitis signs and altered gut microbiota, which may be of interest for microbiome-targeted IBD research but does not show...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences

Hydatid Cyst Fluid of Echinococcus granulosus Alleviates Experimental Ulcerative Colitis by Suppressing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress and Regulating the Gut Microbiota

This preclinical study identifies a parasite-derived fluid that reduced inflammation, oxidative stress, and microbiome disruption in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis and in intestinal cells, pointing to possible new...

Clinical characteristics of patients with overlapping eosinophilic esophagitis and inflammatory bowel disease in a national real-world cohort.
Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus

Clinical characteristics of patients with overlapping eosinophilic esophagitis and inflammatory bowel disease in a national real-world cohort.

Overlap of EoE and IBD appears uncommon but more frequent than in the general population and is linked to more allergic disease and higher steroid exposure without clearer increases in esophageal scarring. That may...

Early coconut oil exposure suppresses chronic experimental Crohn's disease via myristic acid and enhanced regulatory T cells.
Nature communications

Early coconut oil exposure suppresses chronic experimental Crohn's disease via myristic acid and enhanced regulatory T cells.

This study suggests coconut oil and its myristic acid component reduced Crohn’s-like inflammation in a mouse model via effects on the microbiome and regulatory T cells, which could point toward new dietary or adjunctive...

Assessment of serum levels of vitamin D and tumor necrosis factor alpha in ulcerative colitis patients at Egyptian Military Hospitals: Cross-sectional observational study.
The Egyptian journal of immunology

Assessment of serum levels of vitamin D and tumor necrosis factor alpha in ulcerative colitis patients at Egyptian Military Hospitals: Cross-sectional observational study.

The study links lower vitamin D and higher TNF‑alpha with greater UC severity and with each other, suggesting these measurable biomarkers may reflect inflammation in ulcerative colitis.

Clinical and experimental rheumatology

Serum zonulin levels and intestinal permeability in Behçet's syndrome: a cross-sectional study.

This study tested a blood biomarker (zonulin) tied to gut barrier function and found no evidence of increased intestinal permeability in these Behçet syndrome patients, unlike in the Crohn’s disease group.

Patient-Reported Outcomes Are a Practical Tool for Monitoring Crohn's Disease Activity in Real-World Care.

PRO2 and PRO3 were recorded far more often than CDAI or HBI in routine care and correlated strongly with those clinician-scored indices, so they may be a practical way to monitor Crohn’s activity and support real-world...
