Triglyceride glucose index and Atherogenic index of plasma for predicting colorectal neoplasms in patients without cardiovascular diseases.

Background And Aims: Colorectal neoplasms (CRN) include colorectal cancer (CRC) and colorectal adenoma (CRA). The relationship between CRN and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index or between CRN and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is unclear. This study aims to investigate the roles of TyG index and AIP in predicting CRN in people without cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The usefulness of fecal hemoglobin and calprotectin tests in diagnosing significant bowel diseases: a prospective study.

Objectives: Although colonoscopy remains the gold standard for determining bowel diseases, it's invasive and expensive. New non-invasive diagnostic methods are urgently needed as an initial screening modality. We aimed to investigate the value of fecal calprotectin (FC) and fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in differentiation of significant and non- significant bowel diseases.

Composition and diverse differences of intestinal microbiota in ulcerative colitis patients.

Objective: To explore the composition of the intestinal microbiota in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and to identify differences in the microbiota between patients with active disease and those in remission.

Methods: Between September 2020 and June 2021, we enrolled into our study, and collected stool samples from, patients with active UC or in remission and healthy control subjects. The diagnosis of UC was based on clinical, endoscopic, radiological, and histological findings.
