AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader
<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

For decades, thiopurines have been the mainstay of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment and will play an important role in the future. However, complex metabolism and various side effects limit the use of these potent drugs in clinical practice. The Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases developed a set of consensus statements with the aim of guiding clinicians on the appropriate use of thiopurines in the management of IBD.

Methods

Sixteen statements were initially drafted by five committee members. The quality of evidence and classification of recommendation were assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system. The statements were then circulated to IBD experts in Korea for review, feedback, and then finalized and accepted by voting at the consensus meeting.

Results

The consensus statements comprised four parts: (1) pre-treatment evaluation and management strategy, including value of thiopurine S-methyltransferase screening, dosing schedule, and novel biomarkers for predicting thiopurine-induced leukopenia; (2) treatment with thiopurines with regards to optimal duration of thiopurine treatment and long-term outcomes of combination therapy with anti-tumor necrosis factors; (3) safety of thiopurines, especially during pregnancy and lactation; and (4) monitoring side effects or efficacy of therapy using biomarkers.

Conclusions

Thiopurines are an effective treatment option for patients with IBD. Management decisions should be individualized according to the risk of relapse and adverse events.

Optimization of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Cohort Studies in Asia
Wai K. Leung
Intest Res 2015;13(3):208-212.   Published online June 9, 2015

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader

With the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increasing rapidly in many Asian countries, including Hong Kong, it is important that patient characteristics are better understood. For example, are the phenotypes, behaviors, complications, and even treatment responses found in Asian patients similar to those of their Western counterparts? To formally address these questions, a properly designed local cohort study is needed. Whilst IBD is still relatively uncommon in Asia, the establishment of a local IBD registry will significantly contribute to the answering of these questions. The Hong Kong IBD registry was established to fill the gap in the understanding of IBD patients, and to foster research into IBD in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong IBD registry is a territory-wide registry that includes all public hospitals in Hong Kong. We included all IBD patients who were currently receiving medical care at these hospitals. With the help of the central computer medical record system of the Hospital Authority of Hong Kong, all clinical events, medications usage, endoscopy records, and laboratory results of patients in the registry were captured. Apart from data collection, the registry is also establishing a bio-specimen bank of blood and stool samples of IBD patients for future research. The IBD registry is a very useful platform for population-based studies on IBD in Asia.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Cohort Studies in Korea: Present and Future
Jung Won Lee, Jong Pil Im, Jae Hee Cheon, You Sun Kim, Joo Sung Kim, Dong Soo Han
Intest Res 2015;13(3):213-218.   Published online June 9, 2015

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is defined as a chronic and relapsing inflammatory disorder of the intestine. Intestinal inflammation in IBD has been proposed to be attributable to the interplay between microbial, genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. The incidence and prevalence rates of IBD are rapidly increasing apparently in other parts of the world, with dramatic increases especially in East Asia. Generally, cohort studies are useful for estimating the incidence, prevalence, natural course, prognosis, and risk factors of diseases. In particular, cohort studies performed in Western countries have well described the prevalence, risk factors, and natural course of IBD and investigated its genetic pathophysiology. However, the outcomes of IBD cohort studies performed in Korea are not as persuasive as those of Western studies because of the relatively low prevalence of IBD and short follow-up periods of the cohorts in Korea. Despite this critical limitation, members of the Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases have demonstrated outstanding results. Some unique features of IBD patients in Korea are well demonstrated, such as thiopurine-induced leukopenia or risks of opportunistic tuberculosis infection in patients receiving tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors. In this review, the present authors summarized the key points of the results of the cohort studies performed in Korea and explored future perspectives.

Tacrolimus for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

Intest Res 2015;13(3):219-226.   Published online June 9, 2015

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader

Tacrolimus is a calcineurin inhibitor used for the treatment of corticosteroid-refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). Two randomized controlled trials and a number of retrospective studies have assessed the therapeutic effect of tacrolimus in UC patients. These studies showed that tacrolimus has excellent short-term efficacy in corticosteroid-refractory patients, with the rates of clinical response ranging from 61% to 96%. However, the long-term prognosis of patients treated with tacrolimus is disappointing, and almost 50% of patients eventually underwent colectomy in long-term follow-up. Tacrolimus can achieve mucosal healing in 40-50% of patients, and this is associated with a favorable long-term prognosis. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antibodies are another therapeutic option in corticosteroid-refractory patients. A prospective head-to-head comparative study of tacrolimus and infliximab is currently being performed to determine which treatment is more effective in corticosteroid-refractory patients. Several retrospective studies have demonstrated that switching between tacrolimus and anti-TNF-α antibody therapy was effective in patients who were refractory to one of the treatments. Most adverse events of tacrolimus are mild; however, opportunistic infections, especially pneumocystis pneumonia, are the most important adverse events, and these should be carefully considered during treatment. Several issues on tacrolimus treatment in UC patients remain unsolved (e.g., use of tacrolimus as remission maintenance therapy). Further controlled studies are needed to optimize the use of tacrolimus for the treatment of UC.

'Lemonade Legs': Why do Some Patients Get Profound Hypomagnesaemia on Proton-Pump Inhibitors?
Nathan S. S. Atkinson, D. John M. Reynolds, Simon P. L. Travis
Intest Res 2015;13(3):227-232.   Published online June 9, 2015
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5217/ir.2015.13.3.227
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used though an association with hypomagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia has only been described since 2006. Patients typically present after years of stable dosing with musculoskeletal, neurological or cardiac arrhythmic symptoms, but it is likely that many cases are under-recognised. Magnesium levels resolve rapidly on discontinuation of PPI therapy and hypomagnesaemia recurs rapidly on rechallenge with any agent in the class. The cellular mechanisms of magnesium homeostasis are increasingly being understood, including both passive paracellular absorption through claudins and active transcellular transporters, including the transient receptor potential channels (TRPM6) identified in the intestine and nephron. PPIs may alter luminal pH by modulating pancreatic secretions, affecting non-gastric H+K+ATPase secretion, altering transporter transcription or channel function. A small reduction in intestinal absorption appears pivotal in causing cumulative deficiency. Risk factors have been associated to help identify patients at risk of this effect but clinical vigilance remains necessary for diagnosis.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Balsalazide is an anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Balsalazide can reduce inflammatory responses via several mechanisms, including inhibition of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity. Parthenolide (PT) inhibits NF-κB and exerts promising anticancer effects by promoting apoptosis. The present investigated the antitumor effects of balsalazide, combined with PT, on NF-κB in a representative human colorectal carcinoma cell line, HCT116.

Methods

We counted cells and conducted annexin-V assays and cell cycle analysis to measure apoptotic cell death. Western blotting was used investigate the levels of proteins involved in apoptosis.

Results

PT and balsalazide produced synergistic anti-proliferative effects and induced apoptotic cell death. The combination of balsalazide and PT markedly suppressed nuclear translocation of the NF-κB p65 subunit and the phosphorylation of inhibitor of NF-κB. Moreover, PT and balsalazide dramatically enhanced NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. Apoptosis, through the mitochondrial pathway, was confirmed by detecting effects on Bcl-2 family members, cytochrome c release, and activation of caspase-3 and -8.

Conclusions

Combination treatment with PT and balsalazide may offer an effective strategy for the induction of apoptosis in HCT116 cells.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Emerging data indicate that polymorphic sequence variations in the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene may affect its production, and be associated with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). PRKCDBP is a putative tumor suppressor gene and a transcriptional target of TNF-α. The aim of this case-control study is to explore the possible association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PRKCDBP with the development of IBD in Koreans.

Methods

Genotyping analysis of four SNPs of PRKCDBP [rs35301211 (G210A), rs11544766 (G237C), rs12294600 (C797T), and rs1051992 (T507C)] was performed on 170 ulcerative colitis (UC),131 Crohn's disease (CD) patients, and 100 unrelated healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Results

Heterozygous configuration of three SNPs (G210A, G237C, and C797T) was very rare in both patients and healthy controls. However, allele frequencies of the T507C SNP showed a significant difference between UC patients and controls (P=0.037). The CC genotype of the T507C SNP was identified in 46.6% (61 of 131) of CD and 49.4% (84 of 170) of UC patients, but only in 33.0% (33 of 100) of healthy controls. Furthermore, CC homozygosity was more prevalent than TC heterozygosity in both CD and UC patients versus controls (P=0.016; gender-adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-4.04 and P=0.009; aOR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.193.64; respectively)

Conclusions

Our results suggest that the T507C SNP in PRKCDBP, a TNF-α-inducible gene, might be associated with susceptibility to IBD (particularly UC) development in Koreans.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

The long-term clinical outcomes of patients with bio-naive ulcerative colitis (UC) who maintain remission with thiopurine are unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of maintenance treatment with thiopurine in UC patients.

Methods

This was a retrospective observational cohort analysis conducted at a single center. Between December 1998 and August 2013, 59 of 87 patients with bio-naive UC who achieved remission after induction with treatments other than biologics were enrolled. Remission maintenance with thiopurine was defined as no concomitant treatment needed other than 5-aminosalicylate without relapse. We assessed the remission-maintenance rate, mucosal healing rate, colectomy-free rate, and treatment safety in UC patients who received thiopurine as maintenance treatment.

Results

The 84-month cumulative remission-maintenance and colectomy-free survival rates in the UC patients who were receiving maintenance treatment with thiopurine and 5-aminosalicylate were 43.9% and 88.0%, respectively. Of the 38 patients who underwent colonoscopy during thiopurine maintenance treatment, 23 (60.5%) achieved mucosal healing. Of the 59 patients who achieved clinical remission with thiopurine, 6 patients (10.2%) discontinued the thiopurine therapy because of adverse events.

Conclusions

Our study demonstrates the long-term efficacy and safety of thiopurine treatment in patients with bio-naive UC.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader
<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Postoperative endoscopic recurrence (PER) occurs in nearly 80% of patients 1 year after ileocecal resection in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Biological agents were more effective in reducing the rates of PER in comparison with conventional therapy, in prospective trials. The aim of this study was to compare the PER rates of biological versus conventional therapy after ileocecal resections in patients with CD in real-world practice.

Methods

The MULTIPER (Multicenter International Postoperative Endoscopic Recurrence) database is a retrospective analysis of PER rates in CD patients after ileocecal resection, from 7 referral centers in 3 different countries. All consecutive patients who underwent ileocecal resections between 2008 and 2012 and in whom colonoscopies had been performed up to 12 months after surgery, were included. Recurrence was defined as Rutgeerts' score ≥i2. The patients were allocated to either biological or conventional therapy after surgery, and PER rates were compared between the groups.

Results

Initially, 231 patients were evaluated, and 63 were excluded. Of the 168 patients in the database, 96 received anti-tumor necrosis factor agents and 72 were treated with conventional therapy after resection. The groups were comparable regarding age, gender, and perianal disease. There was longer disease duration, more previous resections, and more open surgical procedures in patients on biologicals postoperatively. PER was identified in 25/96 (26%) patients on biological therapy and in 24/72 (33.3%) patients on conventional therapy (P=0.310).

Conclusions

In this retrospective observational analysis from an international database, no difference was observed between biological and conventional therapy in preventing PER after ileocecal resections in CD patients.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Early use of biologics in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) improves quality of life. However, the effects of the early use of immunomodulators on long-term outcomes remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of immunomodulators in patients with CD.

Methods

Between January 2004 and December 2011, 47 biologic-naive CD patients treated with thiopurines alone for remission maintenance were analyzed. The patients were classified into 2 groups depending on the presence or absence of digestive complications. We evaluated the efficacy of and predictive factors for thiopurine use for remission maintenance.

Results

The cumulative relapse rates at 24 and 60 months were 13.7% and 35.4%, respectively. Regarding patient characteristics, there was a significant difference in patient history of surgery between the non-relapse and relapse groups (P=0.021). The cumulative relapse rate was lower in patients without a history of surgery than in those with such a history (27.2% and 52.9% at 60.0 months, respectively). Multivariate analysis suggested that the prevalence of stricturing and penetrating complications is an independent factor for relapse. The cumulative relapse rate in patients without a history of surgery was significantly lower in the non-stricturing and non-penetrating group than in the stricturing and penetrating group (11.8% at 85.0 months vs. 58.5% at 69.0 months; P=0.036).

Conclusions

Thiopurine use might be beneficial for the long-term maintenance of remission in biologic-naive Crohn's disease patients without digestive complications and a history of surgery.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

The growing volume and the diversity of clinical research has led to related laws and regulations as well as the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval process becoming more stringent. To conduct clinical research efficiently and while following regulations, information about the IRB approval process and feedback is important for investigators. This has yet to be studied.

Methods

We included 381 gastrointestinal disease research proposals (79 with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], and 302 with non-IBD) reviewed by the IRB of Severance Hospital between January 2009 and December 2013. We retrospectively analyzed research characteristics including research risk levels, results of initial reviews, frequencies of continuing review, numbers of IRB comments, frequencies of IRB comments, and durations from submission to approval.

Results

Investigators' decisions on risk level were higher in the IBD group than in the non-IBD group (P<0.05). Results of initial reviews, frequencies of continuing reviews, the numbers of IRB review comments, and durations from submission to approval were not different between the two groups, but IRB decisions on risk level were higher in the IBD group (P<0.05). In subgroup analysis, the number of IRB comments from initial review on informed consent forms and procedures as well were quest of more information were significantly higher in the IBD group than in the non-IBD group (P<0.001 and 0.01, respectively).

Conclusions

In Korea, rare diseases such as IBD require more information for the IRB process due to their distinct characteristics. IBD researchers should develop research protocols more carefully and make their research as subject-friendly as possible.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IPO) is an uncommon, severe complication that occurs in a small subgroup of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To our knowledge, approximately 30 cases of IPO in SLE have been reported in the literature. Moreover, IPO is rare as an initial manifestation of SLE. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with SLE who initially presented with IPO.

Familial Mediterranean Fever With Complete Symptomatic Remission During Pregnancy
Kwang Taek Kim, Hyun Joo Jang, Jae Eun Lee, Mi Kang Kim, Jun Jae Yoo, Gye Yeon Lee, Sea Hyub Kae, Jin Lee
Intest Res 2015;13(3):287-290.   Published online June 9, 2015

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, ethnically restricted and commonly found among populations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. FMF is the most prevalent autoinflammatory disease; is characterized by recurrent, self-limited episodes of fever with serositis; and is caused by Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) mutations on chromosome 16. We describe a case of adult-onset FMF with complete symptomatic remission during pregnancy, without the use of colchicine. A 25-year-old woman had presented with periodic fever, abdominal pain, and vomiting since she was 21. Her abdominal computed tomography scan showed intestinal nonrotation. She underwent exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy for her symptoms 1 year prior. She had a symptom-free pregnancy period, but abdominal pain and fever recurred after delivery. Mutation analysis of the MEFV gene revealed two point mutations (p.Leu110Pro and p.Glu148Gln). We report an adult female patient with FMF in Korea with complete symptomatic remission during pregnancy.
