Novel Utility of Leucine-Rich Alpha-2-Glycoprotein as a Biomarker in Ulcerative Colitis: A Predictor of Endoscopic Remission Independent of Symptoms

Inflammatory Intestinal Diseases, 2023
Introduction: Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG) is a potential biomarker for disease activity and reflects mucosal healing in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Colonic Mucosa of Ulcerative Colitis Patients Is Mediated by PERK and IRE1 Pathway Activation

Mediators of Inflammation, 2022
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by a chronic overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines. During an acute phase, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overloaded and the protein folding process is impaired, a condition named ER stress.

Impact of the body mass index on the retention of the anorectal mucosa after double-stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis

BMC Gastroenterology, 2023
Background Double-stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (DS-IPAA) is easy to construct and has a good functional outcome in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, retention of the anorectal mucosa may lead to a subsequent risk of inflammation and

Multi-omics identify falling LRRC15 as a COVID-19 severity marker and persistent pro-thrombotic signals in convalescence

Nature Communications, 2022
End-stage kidney disease confers a high risk for severe COVID-19 infection. Using an at-risk group (end-stage kidney disease patients with COVID-19), authors using RNA-sequencing of immune cells and plasma proteomic profiling to investigate the host ...

Inhibition of spleen tyrosine kinase decreases donor specific antibody levels in a rat model of sensitization

Scientific Reports, 2022
Antibody mediated rejection is a major cause of renal allograft loss. Circulating preformed donor specific antibodies (DSA) can result as a consequence of blood transfusion, pregnancy or prior transplantation. Current treatment strategies are limited due

Association between serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha level and the efficacy of infliximab for refractory pouchitis after restorative proctocolectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis

Journal of the Anus, Rectum and Colon, 2017
Objectives: Although the aetiology of pouchitis after restorative proctocolectomy in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unknown, infliximab (IFX) is often effective for this condition. However, indicators and predictors of treatment efficacy remain unclear.
