The gastrointestinal tract is home to trillions of diverse microorganisms collectively known as the gut microbiota, which play a pivotal role in breaking down undigested foods, such dietary fibers. Through fermentation these food components, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced, offering numerous health benefits host. production absorption SCFAs occur through various mechanisms within human intestine, contingent upon types fibers reaching specific...
The gastrointestinal tract is colonized by trillions of different microorganisms, named the gut microbiota, which key to degrade undigested food such as dietary fibers. fermentation these components leads production short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) acetate, propionate, and butyrate, exploit several beneficial roles for host’s health. Their absorption happen in ways human intestine depend on type fiber reaching microorganisms involved fermentation. supplementation SCFAs, mostly...
Purpose: This study was designed to assess the role of fecal lactoferrin and calprotectin as markers intestinal inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease who have undergone ileocolonic resection. Methods: Sixty-three had resection for a median follow-up 40.5 (range, 5-102) months were enrolled. Clinical examination blood test performed, levels dosed. The predictors that resulted be significant at univariate analyses included two multiple regression analysis models. Results: mean level 21...
This multicentric prospective study aimed to investigate how postoperative complications after surgery for colorectal cancer affect patients' quality of life and satisfaction with care.One hundred sixteen patients operated on were enrolled in this study. Patients answered three questionnaires about generic (EORTC QLQ-C30) disease-specific QLQ-CR29) treatment IN-PATSAT32) at the time admission 1 6 months surgery. Non-parametric tests linear multiple regression models used statistical...
Ovarian metastases from primary colorectal cancer occur in 3-8% of female patients. The aim this study was to assess the prognostic value radical oophorectomy for ovarian metastasis cancer.From our series 859 patients operated 1982 2005 ten with isolated were retrieved. diagnosis confirmed by pathology revision. Overall and disease-free survival after assessed compared literature data.The median follow-up resection 36 months (range 194-14). Survival analysis showed that rate metastasectomy...
Summary Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) can cause metabolic inflammatory alterations. Aim To evaluate the relationships between parameters, plasma lipids phospholipid fatty acid (FA) composition in patients with active UC CD. Methods Diet, Harvey–Bradshaw Activity Index (HBAI), lipoproteins FA were assessed 60 CD 34 UC. Results No differences clinical parameters observed two groups. Total cholesterol correlated inversely number of bowel movements both groups...
One of the most potent costimulatory molecules involved in recognition and killing tumor cells is CD80. However, its role molecular mechanisms regulating expression sporadic colorectal carcinogenesis remain elusive. Here, we provide evidence for CD80 overexpression human colon epithelial derived from preneoplastic mucosa. Expression on colonic isolated normal mucosa, neoplastic specimens was assessed by flow cytometry. WT CD80KO mice received azoxymethane to induce lesions sacrificed perform...
Long-term daily use of aspirin reduces incidence and mortality due to colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed analyze the effect on tumor microenvironment, systemic immunity, healthy mucosa surrounding cancer.
Abstract Background This study examined the outcome of surgery for symptomatic Crohn's rectovaginal fistula (RVF) and assessed effect therapy with antibody against tumour necrosis factor (TNF) on healing. Methods Fifty-six patients disease underwent a RVF between January 1993 December 2006. Outcome analysis was performed in February 2008 relation to surgical procedures used anti-TNF treatment. Results Four healed still had stoma at final follow-up other reasons were excluded from analysis....
