A case of ulcerative colitis associated with generalized sarcoidosis is reported, bringing to four the number of such cases reported. The association of these two disorders in the same patient is at least curious because altered immunologic mechanisms of different type are considered to be involved in the two diseases.

This study aims to reveal the potential molecular mechanisms of modified Gegen Qinlian decoction (MGQD) in relieving ulcerative colitis (UC). C57BL/6J mice were used to establish experimental colitis via dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Body weight, disease activity index (DAI), spleen weight, colon length, and histopathologic features were measured to evaluate the therapeutic effects of MGQD on mice with UC.

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a major impact on the health of people worldwide, including the pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) patients. As no study has investigated the susceptibility and disease course of COVID-19 in PIBD patients after the end of zero-COVID policy in China, we conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study in our center. A cross-sectional survey enrolling PIBD patients has been completed by online survey, phone, and face-to-face assessment.

N-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is one of the most prevalent forms of chemical modification in RNA molecules, which plays an important role in biological processes such as RNA stability, translation regulation and ribosome recognition. Methyl-transferation of m7G modification is catalyzed by the enzyme complex of methyltransferase-like 1 (METTL1) and WD repeat domain 4 (WDR4), and Quaking (QKI) recognizes internal m7G methylated mRNA and regulates mRNA translation and stabilization. Recent studies have found that m7G modification - related enzymes are associated with the onset and progression of digestive cancer, such as colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and other digestive diseases such as ulcerative colitis.

Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdomen, often mimicking more common abdominal emergencies such as appendicitis and cholecystitis, presenting significant diagnostic challenges. A 47-year-old male with a history of ulcerative colitis underwent laparoscopic total colectomy with end ileostomy. Postoperatively, he developed severe abdominal pain, chills, nausea, and increased abdominal distension.

Background/aims: Data from Asia regarding the short-term and long-term outcomes for acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) are limited. We assessed the outcomes of ASUC, identified the risk factors for colectomy, and compared colectomy rates between the pre-biologics and post-biologics eras in Taiwan.
Methods: The patients with an ASUC diagnosis between January 2013 and March 2022 at 5 tertiary medical centers were retrospectively analyzed.
