BackgroundAbdominal pain is a frequent symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Pain can result from ongoing inflammation or functional disorders imitating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with IBS. However...

BackgroundLeucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5), a component of the Wnt receptor complex, is thought to lineage label gastric and intestinal stem cells. LGR5 expression is increased in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) compared to normal tissue. Colitis associated colorectal adenocarcinoma (CAC) often shows distinct morphologi...

BackgroundThe effect of biologic therapy on the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related hospitalizations is controversial. The high efficacy of biologic agents is weighted against potential therapy-related adverse events, however, there are no data on the effect of biologic therapy on the indications for hospitalization in IBD. We aim...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are at increased risk of developing Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Common methods to diagnose CDI involve a combination of tests including the toxin A/B enzyme immunoassay (Toxin) and toxin gene polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR). Disease outcomes in Toxin+ versus Toxin-PCR+ IBD patients remai...

Previous studies have shown vitamin D status to be associated with disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but its influence on the clinical course of IBD has not been established. We aimed to analyze whether the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D] status is associated with clinical characteristics and affects the risk ...

The prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density (BMD) in Asian patients newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have not been fully suggested. We aimed to examine the prevalence and risk factors of low BMD in young Korean patients newly diagnosed with IBD. We prospectively enrolled 132 patients aged less than 50 years and ...

Adherence to medications is important to maintain disease under control and to prevent complications in pregnant patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). To evaluate the incidence of non-adherence during pregnancy and its effect on relapse and pregnancy outcomes, we conducted a multicenter prospective study using a patient self-reporting system witho...

Corticosteroids and biologics are used to treat moderate-to-severe active pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC); however, it is often difficult to continue administration because of systemic side reactions. Vedolizumab is considered to have few adverse effects due to its mechanism of action and it is expected to be used in children, but the long-term a...

Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) report higher depressive symptoms and anxiety compared to healthy controls, with disease severity and abdominal pain being important factors. In the current study, building on what young people had told us in our previous work, we examined whether embarrassment of the conditio...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI) have been reported to be effective in various carcinomas. They excessively activate the immune system, resulting in frequent immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Colitis induced by ICPI is one of the most common and is known as immune-mediated colitis (IMC). Although IMC and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are...
