The historical approach to neoplasia in the setting of chronic colitis was to perform a total proctocolectomy. Recent consensus and society guidelines suggest that when dysplastic lesions can be removed endoscopically, continued surveillance is appropriate. This is based on improvements in optical technologies and the low risk of metachronous colorectal carcinoma in these patients. We hypothesized that if a lesion was completely removed surgically and followed up endoscopically, metachronous colorectal carcinoma would be a rare occurrence. Thus, segmental resection may be offered as a definitive surgery in patients with chronic colitis and localized colorectal neoplasia in whom endoscopic resection is not feasible. Retention of the distal colon/rectum is expected to result in an overall improved quality of life compared with permanent ileostomy or an ileoanal J-pouch. Here, we report our experience and follow-up evaluation of segmental resections for preoperative neoplasia in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC).

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory intestinal disease, categoried under "dysentery" and "intestinal bleeding" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Jianpi Qingchang decoction (JPQC) is a combination formula specifically designed for the treatment of UC. The primary objective of this study is to examine the clinical efficacy of JPQC in individuals diagnosed with UC who exhibit both spleen deficiency and dampness-heat syndrome, along with the presence of fatigue.

Introduction: Hypoalgesic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may provide critical insights into human abdominal pain. This condition was previously associated with homozygosity for a polymorphism (rs6795970, A1073V; 1073 val/val ) related to Na v 1.8, a voltage-gated sodium channel preferentially expressed on nociceptors.

Introduction Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is often associated with mortality and significant morbidity following renal transplantation leading to graft rejection or dysfunction. Primary CMV infection refers to the first detection of the virus in a person who has no prior evidence of CMV exposure before transplantation. CMV has a unique property called latency.

Introduction: Colonic fibrosis is a long-term complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often leading to functional impairment, intestinal obstruction, and surgery. Adiponectin (APN) is an adipokine derived from adipocytes that plays a pleiotropic role in fibrosis regulation, depending on tissue and cell type specific or disease context, but its role in colonic fibrosis remains unclear.
Objective: To explore the role and involved mechanism of APN in chronic colitis-associated colonic fibrosis.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Sea conch peptide hydrolysate (CPH) was produced by enzymatic digestion of fresh conch meat with trypsin enzyme. To analyze the molecular composition, functional groups, and structural morphology of the hydrolysate, we employed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
