AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Although surgery was the standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers, endoscopic resection is now a standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers without regional lymph node metastasis. High-definition white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, and image-enhanced endoscopy such as narrow band imaging are performed to assess the edge and depth of early gastrointestinal cancers for delineation of resection boundaries and prediction of the possibility of lymph node metastasis before the decision of endoscopic resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection can be performed to remove early gastrointestinal cancers completely by en bloc fashion. Histopathological evaluation should be carefully made to investigate the presence of risk factors for lymph node metastasis such as depth of cancer invasion and lymphovascular invasion. Additional treatment such as radical surgery with regional lymphadenectomy should be considered if the endoscopically resected specimen shows risk factors for lymph node metastasis. This is the first Korean clinical practice guideline for endoscopic resection of early gastrointestinal cancer. This guideline was developed by using mainly de novo methods and encompasses endoscopic management of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, and early colorectal cancer. This guideline will be revised as new data on early gastrointestinal cancer are collected.

IBD
The impact of tobacco smoking on treatment choice and efficacy in inflammatory bowel disease
Steven Nicolaides, Abhinav Vasudevan, Tony Long, Daniel van Langenberg
Intest Res 2021;19(2):158-170.   Published online October 13, 2020

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Smoking significantly increases the risk of developing and worsens Crohn’s disease (CD), yet protects against the development and reduces the severity of ulcerative colitis. It is less clear whether smoking impacts the efficacy of therapeutics in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We review the literature regarding the relationship between smoking and the efficacy of medical and surgical therapy in IBD. Smoking is associated with alterations in thiopurine metabolism and may affect time to disease relapse. The outcomes of anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy in active smokers appear neutral with data lacking for newer biologics. Smoking increases the risk of postoperative recurrence in those requiring resection for CD, likely attributable to perturbations of the gut microbiota although further implications of these for disease onset/progression and treatment efficacy remain unclear. Multiple lifestyle and psychosocial confounders are likely under-recognized cofactors in the association between smoking and IBD. Despite the widely promulgated risks associated with cigarette smoking in CD, more incisive data are required to further elucidate the actual relationship between smoking and disease pathways, while accounting for the several negative cofactors prevalent in smokers which cast uncertainty on the magnitude of the direct effect of smoking on disease pathophysiology and the efficacy of therapy.

Anti-inflammatory diet and inflammatory bowel disease: what clinicians and patients should know?
Nor Hamizah Shafiee, Zahara Abdul Manaf, Norfilza M. Mokhtar, Raja Affendi Raja Ali
Intest Res 2021;19(2):171-185.   Published online February 3, 2021

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Current treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes the application of anti-inflammatory agents for the induction and remission of IBD. However, prolonged use of anti-inflammatory agents can exert adverse effects on patients. Recently, formulated dietary approach in treating IBD patients is utilized to improve clinical activity scores. An alteration of gastrointestinal microbiota through dietary therapy was found to reduce IBD and is recognized as a promising therapeutic strategy for IBD. One of the recommended formulated diets is an anti-inflammatory diet (AID) that restricts the intake of carbohydrates with modified fatty acids. This diet also contains probiotics and prebiotics that can promote balanced intestinal microbiota composition. However, scientific evidences are limited to support this specific dietary regime in maintaining the remission and prevention relapse of IBD. Therefore, this review aimed to summarize available data from various studies to evaluate the AID diet effectiveness which will be useful for clinicians to manage their IBD patients by application of improved dietary therapy.

Background/Aims
The incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) in Thailand (crude incidence rate of 0.28 per 100,000 persons) is much lower than in the West. The burden of UC varies in different populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the natural history of UC over the two decades in Bangkok, Thailand.
Methods
This retrospective study included patients who were diagnosed with UC between 2000 and 2018 in 2 university hospitals. To evaluate changes in the disease course, we stratified patients into 2000–2009 cohort and 2010–2018 cohort. The cumulative probability of endoscopic healing, UC-related hospitalization and colectomy was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
A total of 291 UC patients were followed for total of 2,228 person-years. Comparison between 2 cohorts, there were no differences in disease pattern and severity whereas an increase in the combination use of oral and topical mesalamine and the early use of thiopurine was observed. Only 1% of patients for each cohort required biologic agent at 5 years. The rate of achieving mucosal healing increased from 15% to 46% at 3 years (P< 0.01). The rate of UC-related hospitalization decreased from 30% to 21% at 5 years (P< 0.05). The rate of colectomy decreased from 6% to 2% at 5 years (P< 0.05).
Conclusions
The natural history of UC in a low incidence country was less aggressive than the West. Over the past two decades, the rates of UC-related hospitalization and colectomy have been decreasing which were similar to the West.

Background/Aims
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with indefinite etiology; however, environmental, genetic, immune factors and microbial agents could be implicated in its pathogenesis. UC treatment is lifelong, therefore; the potential side effects and cost of the therapy are significant. Yarrow is a promising medicinal plant with the ability to treat many disorders, owing to its bioactive compounds especially the essential oil. The main aim of this research was to investigate the therapeutic effect of the yarrow oil on colitis including the involved mechanism of action.
Methods
In 21-female C57BL/6 mice were divided into 3 groups; control group, colitis model group, and oil-treated group. Groups 2 and 3 received 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water for 9 days, and concomitantly, only group 3 was given 100 mg/kg yarrow oil. Mice were examined for their body weight, stool consistency and bleeding, and the disease activity indexes were calculated.
Results
Oral administration of yarrow oil markedly repressed the severity of UC via the reduction of the inflammatory signs and restoring colon length. The oil was able to down-regulate nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), up-regulate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), and enhance transforming growth factor-β expression. The oil normalized the tumor necrosis factor-α expression, restored the normal serum level of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and reduced the serum level of IL-6.
Conclusions
Yarrow oil mitigated UC symptoms and regulated the inflammatory cytokines secretion via regulation of NF-κB and PPAR-γ pathways in the mice model, however, this recommendation requires further investigations using clinical studies to confirm the use of the oil on humans.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims
The national registry for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was designed to study epidemiology and prescribing pattern of treatment of IBD in India.
Methods
A multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective registry was established across four geographical zones of India. Adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) were enrolled between January 2014 and December 2015. Information related to demographics; disease features; complications; and treatment history were collected and analyzed.
Results
A total of 3,863 patients (mean age, 36.7 ± 13.6 years; 3,232 UC [83.7%] and 631 CD [16.3%]) were enrolled. The majority of patients with UC (n = 1,870, 57.9%) were from north, CD was more common in south (n = 348, 55.5%). The UC:CD ratio was 5.1:1. There was a male predominance (male:female = 1.6:1). The commonest presentation of UC was moderately severe (n = 1,939, 60%) and E2 disease (n = 1,895, 58.6%). Patients with CD most commonly presented with ileocolonic (n = 229, 36.3%) inflammatory (n = 504, 79.9%) disease. Extraintestinal manifestations were recorded among 13% and 20% of patients in UC and CD respectively. Less than 1% patients from both cohorts developed colon cancer (n = 26, 0.7%). The commonly used drugs were 5-aminosalicylates (99%) in both UC and CD followed by azathioprine (34.4%). Biologics were used in only 1.5% of patients; more commonly for UC in north and CD in south.
Conclusions
The national IBD registry brings out diversities in the 4 geographical zones of India. This will help in aiding research on IBD and improving quality of patient care.

Ustekinumab for the treatment of refractory pediatric Crohn’s disease: a single-center experience
Alexandra Cohen, Najma Ahmed, Ana Sant’Anna
Intest Res 2021;19(2):217-224.   Published online April 22, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5217/ir.2019.09164
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims
Despite the well-established efficacy of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists as treatment options for Crohn’s disease, many pediatric patients need a change in therapy due to adverse events and loss of response, highlighting the necessity for medications with a different mechanism of action. Ustekinumab has been shown to be effective in inducing clinical remission in some adults with disease refractory to anti-TNF agents, however, minimal data exists in the pediatric population.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective chart review of 11 pediatric patients receiving ustekinumab, specifically extracting baseline data, information on prior treatment and response, indications for starting ustekinumab, clinical information, and laboratory parameters pre- and post-therapy. Clinical response was defined as a decrease in abbreviated Pediatric Crohn’s Disease Activity Index score.
Results
Patients ranged from 12 to 17 years of age upon initiation of treatment with ustekinumab. Five of 11 patients demonstrated a clinical response. Among these patients, 2 remained in clinical remission, while the remaining 3 experienced a secondary loss of response. The other 6 patients were primary nonresponders who either remained unwell or demonstrated slight clinical worsening. All patients who clinically responded to ustekinumab and had an initially elevated CRP experienced complete normalization of their values. Mucosal healing was seen on endoscopy in 1 responder, with 2 other patients showing endoscopic improvement.
Conclusions
These results demonstrate for the first time that ustekinumab has the potential to induce not only clinical and biochemical remission, but also endoscopic improvement, in the pediatric population. Future research is needed to determine factors that influence response to therapy.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims
5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is a basic drug for inducing and maintaining remission for ulcerative colitis. One of its formulations has a coating with a pH-dependent degradation that ensures the release 5-ASA at the terminal ileum. No evidence has been shown concerning the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) on the clinical course of ulcerative colitis patients in remission. The present study assessed the effect of PPIs or H2RAs on the relapse of ulcerative colitis patients in clinical remission maintained by pH-dependent released 5-ASA.
Methods
Ulcerative colitis patients who had been prescribed time- or pH-dependent-released 5-ASA between January 2015 and December 2018 were enrolled in this multicenter retrospective study. The period of remission until relapse occurred was analyzed among the patients taking time-dependent-released 5-ASA or pH-dependent-released 5-ASA with/without PPIs or H2RAs.
Results
One hundred and nineteen patients were analyzed in this study. In the primary endpoint, the relapse rate was higher in patients taking pH-dependent-released 5-ASA and PPIs or H2RAs than in those taking the pH-dependent-released 5-ASA without PPIs or H2RAs, while the relapse rate was similar in patients taking the time-dependent-released 5-ASA with or without PPIs or H2RAs concomitantly. Patients with a short duration of disease and middle-aged patients more frequently showed relapse with PPIs or H2RAs than the other patients.
Conclusions
The coadministration of PPIs or H2RAs affects the clinical course of ulcerative colitis in remission maintained by pH-dependent-released 5-ASA.

Background/Aims
Crohn’s disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) remain “difficult-to-differentiate” diseases. We have previously documented peripheral blood frequency of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T-regulatory cells (Treg) as a biomarker to differentiate CD and ITB. We tried to validate these results in a larger cohort of CD and ITB patients.
Methods
Seventy treatment naïve patients of CD (n = 23) and ITB (n = 47) (diagnosed by standard criteria) were recruited prospectively from October 2016 to May 2017. Patients with history of antitubercular therapy in the past were excluded. The frequency of Treg cells in peripheral blood was determined by flow cytometry, and compared between CD and ITB patients.
Results
Similar to our previous study, frequency of Treg cells in peripheral blood was significantly increased in ITB as compared to CD patients (40.9 [interquartile range, 33–50] vs. 24.9 [interquartile range, 14.4–29.6], P< 0.001). Further, the receiver operating characteristics curve also showed good diagnostic accuracy with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.77 (95% confidence interval, 0.65–0.89) and a FOXP3+ cutoff value of > 31.3% had a sensitivity and specificity of 83% and 82.6% respectively, to differentiate ITB from CD. Even for the indeterminate cases (n = 33), Treg cell frequency had similar diagnostic accuracy with an AUC of 0.85 (95% confidence interval, 0.68–0.95) and a cutoff of 32.37% had sensitivity and specificity of 87% and 95% respectively, to differentiate ITB from CD.
Conclusions
The current findings validate that the increased frequency of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg in the peripheral blood can be used as a biomarker with high diagnostic accuracy to differentiate ITB from CD.

Colorectal neoplasia
Postgastrectomy gastric cancer patients are at high risk for colorectal neoplasia: a case control study
Tae-Geun Gweon, Kyu-Tae Yoon, Chang Hyun Kim, Jin-Jo Kim
Intest Res 2021;19(2):239-246.   Published online November 13, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5217/ir.2020.00009
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims
Several studies have shown that colorectal neoplasms (CRN) including colorectal cancer (CRC) may be prevalent in patients with gastric cancer. However, in most of these studies, colonoscopy to investigate the prevalence of CRN was performed prior to surgery. We aimed to investigate whether CRN was more prevalent in postgastrectomy gastric cancer patients than in healthy individuals.
Methods
We reviewed the medical records of those patients within a cohort of gastric cancer patients with gastrectomy who underwent colonoscopy between 2016 and 2017. Controls age- and sex-matched with gastric cancer patients at a 2:1 ratio were identified among those who underwent colonoscopy at a health-promotion center. The frequencies of CRN, advanced CRN (ACRN), and CRC among patients with gastrectomy were compared with those in the control subjects. A total of 744 individuals (gastric cancer, 248; control, 496) were included.
Results
The rates of CRN and ACRN in the gastric cancer group were higher than those in the healthy individuals (CRN, 47.6% vs. 34.7%, P< 0.001; ACRN, 16.9% vs. 10.9%, P= 0.020). The rate of CRC was comparable between the 2 groups (2.0% vs. 0.6%, P= 0.125). Multivariate analysis identified previous gastrectomy for gastric cancer and male sex as significant risk factors for (A)CRN.
Conclusions
CRN and ACRN were more prevalent in patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer than in the control group. Regular surveillance colonoscopy at appropriate intervals is indicated after gastrectomy.

Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension related to azathioprine therapy in a patient with Crohn’s disease
Jong Won Seo, Eun Soo Kim, Man-Hoon Han, Young Oh Kweon
Intest Res 2021;19(2):247-251.   Published online July 2, 2020

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Azathioprine is widely used for the treatment of Crohn’s disease (CD). Few cases from Western countries have reported idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) related to thiopurine therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Idiopathic NCPH is a rare hepatic condition with intrahepatic portal hypertension but no evidence of cirrhosis or chronic liver disease. Patients with idiopathic NCPH present with symptoms of portal hypertension such as thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly and esophageal varices. We report a case of idiopathic NCPH in a 51-year-old male patient with CD who had been taking azathioprine for 5 years. He was admitted due to esophageal variceal bleeding along with splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia. Evaluation of cirrhosis or chronic liver disease showed normal-range results as estimated by FibroScan evaluation, laboratory examination for autoimmune hepatitis or viral hepatitis, and liver biopsy. This case may suggest the need for careful monitoring for manifestations of portal hypertension in Asian patients with inflammatory bowel disease receiving thiopurine treatment.
