AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, progressive, and disabling inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with an uncertain etiopathogenesis. CD can involve any site of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, and is associated with serious complications, such as bowel strictures, perforations, and fistula formation. The incidence and prevalence rates of CD in Korea are still lower compared with those in Western countries, but they have been rapidly increasing during the recent decades. Although there are no definitive curative modalities for CD, various medical and surgical therapies have been applied for the treatment of this disease. Concerning CD management, there have been substantial discrepancies among clinicians according to their personal experience and preference. To suggest recommendable approaches to the diverse problems of CD and to minimize the variations in treatment among physicians, guidelines for the management of CD were first published in 2012 by the IBD Study Group of the Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases. These are the revised guidelines based on updated evidence, accumulated since 2012. These guidelines were developed by using mainly adaptation methods, and encompass induction and maintenance treatment of CD, treatment based on disease location, treatment of CD complications, including stricture and fistula, surgical treatment, and prevention of postoperative recurrence. These are the second Korean guidelines for the management of CD and will be continuously revised as new evidence is collected.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with uncertain etiopathogenesis. CD can involve any site of gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to anus and is associated with serious complications such as bowel strictures, perforations, and fistula formation. The incidence and prevalence rates of CD in Korea are still lower than those of Western countries, but have been rapidly increasing during the past decades. Although there are no definitive curative modalities for CD, various medical and surgical therapies are currently applied for diverse clinical situations of CD. However, a lot of decisions on the management of CD are made depending on the personal experiences and choices of physicians. To suggest preferable approaches to diverse problems of CD and to minimize the variations according to physicians, guidelines for the management of CD are needed. Therefore, IBD Study Group of the Korean Association for the Study of the Intestinal Diseases has set out to develop the guidelines for the management of CD in Korea. These guidelines were developed using the adaptation methods and encompass the treatment of inflammatory disease, stricturing disease, and penetrating disease. The guidelines also cover the indication of surgery, prevention of recurrence after surgery, and CD in pregnancy and lactation. These are the first Korean guidelines for the management of CD and the update with further scientific data and evidences is needed. (Intest Res 2012;10:26-66)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder characterized by a relapsing and remitting course. The quality of life can decrease significantly during exacerbations of the disease. The incidence and prevalence of UC in Korea are still lower than those of Western countries, but have been rapidly increasing during the past decades. Various medical and surgical therapies are currently used for the management of UC. However, many challenging issues exist and sometimes these lead to differences in practice between clinicians. Therefore, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Study Group of the Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases (KASID) set out the Korean guidelines for the management of UC. These guidelines are made by the adaptation using several foreign guidelines and encompass treatment of active colitis, maintenance of remission and indication for surgery in UC. The specific recommendations are presented with the quality of evidence. These are the first Korean treatment guidelines for UC and will be revised with new evidences on treatment of UC.

Background/Aims
The incidence and prevalence of Crohn's disease are increasing in Korea. However, the guidelines for the management of Crohn's disease have not been established in Korea. In the current study we determined the difference in the treatment methods between physicians in Korea for Crohn's disease. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the use of medical and surgical treatment modalities in 92 patients with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease. We compared the treatment strategies among 4 physicians at 3 different institutions. Results: Prednisone, 5-aminosalicylates, antibiotics, immunomodulators, infliximab, and surgery were prescribed or preformed in 64%, 92%, 24%, 35%, 9%, and 22% of the patients, respectively. The surgical procedures included 12 bowel resections and 8 fistulectomies. The prescription rates for 5-aminosalicylates, prednisone, antibiotics, and infliximab did not differ, but of the use of immunomodulators was significantly different between physicians (p=0.012). The mean interval between diagnosis and the start of immunomodulators was 14 months, and was not different between physicians. The median dosage of immunomodulators was 50 mg per day, and was not different between physicians. Conclusions: A difference in medical treatment strategies for Crohn's disease between physicians exists in Korea. Specifically, there was a significant difference in the use of immunodulators between physicians. The development of treatment guidelines for Crohn's disease, together with efforts to decrease the inter-physician difference for treating Crohn's disease are needed. (Intest Res 2009;7:41-46)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
The diagnosis of small bowel stricture was made by operation. Capsule endoscopy has been useful for diagnosis of small bowel diseases but has limited value in cases with stricture. Double balloon endoscopy is the useful method to visualize the entire small bowel. The aims of this study are to evaluate the feasibility of double balloon endoscopy and to differentiate the endoscopic findings in patients with small bowel stricture. Methods: Between March 2004 and February 2007, fifteen consecutive patients were referred for the evaluation of small bowel stricture. Small bowel strictures were suspected in small bowel series and CT in eleven patients. Capsule endoscopies were performed in six patients and entrapped in three patients. Double balloon endoscopy (EN-450P5/20, Fujinon, Japan) was performed with midazolam (median 5 mg, range 5-10 mg) and meperidine (median 50 mg, range 50-100 mg). All lesions except one were found within 60 minutes. One patient had been excluded because of false-positive finding of capsule endoscopy. Clinical and endoscopic findings were compared between strictures of Crohn's disease (group I, n=6) and those of other causes (group II, n=8). Results: Double balloon endoscpies were performed with good tolerance without side effect. Age, chief complaints, duration of symptom, and initial hemoglobin and serum albumin levels were not different between two groups. The proportion of male sex was higher in group I than group II (100%, 38%, respectively; p=0.031). The strictures below 0.5 cm in diameter were 83% in group I and 13% in group II (p=0.026). The arrangement of stricture in group I was more eccentric than that in group II (100%, 17%, respectively; p=0.015). The location of stricture, appearance of surrounding mucosa, associated ulcer, and ulcer margin were not different between two groups. Conclusions: Endoscopic differentiation using double balloon endoscopy can be made easily and safely in patients with small bowel stricture. The strictures of small bowel in patients with Crohn's disease were narrower and more eccentric than those in patients with other diseases. (Intest Res 2007;5:38-44)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
Colonoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of appendicitis occasionally. However, it is unclear that isolated inflammation at the appendiceal orifice is always suggestive of acute appendicitis. Methods: Eighteen consecutive patients with colonoscopic findings of the isolated inflammatory lesion in the area of the appendiceal orifice were included. Surgical- pathology-proven appendicitis within 6 months after the colonoscopy were defined as 'true-appendicitis'. Results: Of the 18 patients, 16 patients were followed up for more than 6 months. Seven patients underwent appendectomy within 5-79 days after the colonoscopy. Of these, 4 patients (25%) had true-appendicitis, one periappendiceal abscess without appendicitis, two normal appendices. Nine patients did not take appendectomy. Of these, no definite etiology was defined in 6. Of the rest, one patient revealed Crohn's disease, one Behcet's disease and one cecal involvement of distal ulcerative colitis later. Conclusions: Isolated inflammation at the appendiceal orifice does not always suggest acute appendicitis but diverse etiologies. The diagnosis of appendicitis should not be made only by colonoscopic findings but also by clinical course and other imaging studies. (Intestinal Research 2006;4:39-44)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Arteriovenous malformation is well known cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients. This is relatively uncommon in people younger than 50 years of age. Endoscopically, it generally appears as bright red flat or elevated bright red lesion. A polypoid appearance is extremely uncommon. We report a case of large polypoid arteriovenous malformation of colon in 81-year-old male patient. He has complained of hematochezia for 4 days. During colonoscopy, a 3.5 cm sized semipedunculated polypoid mass in the proximal transverse colon was detected. For prevention of bleeding, detachable snare was applied and biopsy was done. 3 days later, follow up colonoscopy was done. There was no hemorrhege. We performed endoscopic mucosal resection. Polypoid arteriovenous malformation of colon was comfirmed by microscopic findings. Histologically, section of excised polyp shows ulceration, hemorrhage and the dilated, irregularly thick walled blood vessels in the mucosa and submucosa. (Intestinal Research 2004;2:36-39)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Recently, we experienced a case of bacterial overgrowth syndrome with recurrent edema, hypoproteinemia and normal serum cobalamine level after Billoth II subtotal gastrectomy, which was diagnosed by jejunal aspirates culture and antibiotics treatment. When predisposition and clinical suspicion were present, jejunal culture might be preferable especially in case of post-Billoth II operation status because jejunal approach is easy, screening tests are negative in certain cases and some screening tests are not available in Korea.
