The selective phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast and phosphodiesterase 3/4 inhibitor pumafentrine reduce clinical score and TNF expression in experimental colitis in mice. [PDF]
The specific inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE)4 and dual inhibition of PDE3 and PDE4 has been shown to decrease inflammation by suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis.

Anti-NMDAR encephalitis in Crohn’s disease undergoing long-term infliximab treatment: A case report
Infliximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody against anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), has revolutionized the management of inflammatory bowel disease. However, a recent nested case-control study showed that anti-TNF-α therapy exposure in patients with

Abrogation of experimental colitis correlates with increased apoptosis in mice deficient for CD44 variant exon 7 (CD44v7) [PDF]
Experimental colitis in mice is characterized by infiltration of activated T helper (Th) cells and macrophages into the lamina propria. Particularly, these cells expressed CD44 variant exon 7 (CD44v7)-containing isoforms.

The Process of Developing a Disease Activity Index in Microscopic Colitis
Background and Aims: Patient-reported outcome measures [PROMs] aim to measure patients' perception of how their disorder influences everyday functioning. The objective of this study was to develop a PROM to assess disease activity in microscopic colitis [

Noninfectious Colitides: Collagenous Colitis, Lymphocytic Colitis, Diversion Colitis, and Chemically Induced Colitis [PDF]
Approximately 10% of patients with chronic diarrhea carry a diagnosis of microscopic colitis. The endoscopic appearance of both collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis may be normal; however, biopsies confirm the diagnosis. Available treatments include antidiarrheals, bismuth salicylate, and budesonide.

Delayed Resolution of Acute Inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis Is Associated with Elevated Cytokine Release Downstream of TLR4 [PDF]
Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is widely viewed as a leukocyte-mediated disorder. Although strong evidence implicates an exuberant response to microbial components in its pathogenesis, no intrinsic immune defect has been identified and the ...

Recent updates on the basic mechanisms and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases in experimental animal models [PDF]
The specific pathogenesis underlining inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is very complicated, and it is further more difficult to clearly explain the pathophysiology of 2 major forms of IBD, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and both ...
