Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of Chinese compound, Changlu Enema (CE), on immune ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice.
Methods: Mice were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, the CE high dose (CE-H) and low dose (CE-L) group and the salicylazosulfapyridine (SASP) group. All mice, except those in the normal group, were made into UC model by colonic mucosa protein immunization. After 21 days of medication, the changes of UC activity index and body weight in mice were observed, and the condition of colonic inflammation and histomorphological changes in colonic tissue were observed also.
Results: UC activity index was lower and body weight was higher in the two CE groups than those in the model group respectively, showing significant difference (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); pathological examination showed the pathological changes and inflammatory response in colonic tissue were relieved significantly after treatment, and the improvement in the CE-H group was better than that in the SASP group.
Conclusion: TCM compound CE is markedly effective in treating UC rats.

Background: Glanders and melioidosis are contagious zoonotic diseases caused by Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei, respectively. Bacterial isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been used to detect these bacteria in animals suspected of infection; however, both methods require skilled experimental techniques and expensive equipment.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. To identify new targets related to the initiation of CD, we screened a pair of twins with CD, which is a rare phenomenon in the Chinese population, for genetic susceptibility factors. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) of these patients revealed a mutation in their SERPINB4 gene.

Leprosy, or Hansen's disease, is an ancient infectious disease characterized by varied clinical presentations influenced by the host's immune response. This study aimed to explore the atypical manifestations of Hansen's disease in a cohort of 15 biopsy-confirmed patients admitted to the Department of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy at a tertiary care center in Andhra Pradesh, India. There were 14 male patients and one female patient, with a mean age of 42.

The gastrointestinal tract is a remarkable example of complex biology, with a constant dialogue between the intestinal epithelium, in close contact with the microbiota, and the immune cells that protect the gut from infection. Organoids have revolutionized our approach to modelling the intestinal cellular compartment and have opened new avenues for unravelling the mechanisms involved in intestinal homeostasis and chronic pathogenesis such as inflammatory bowel disease. To date, few models have been established to explore the role of the colon, which is however the main site of inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC).
