Abstract

Background

Paneth cells play multiple roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. However, the clinical role of Paneth cell metaplasia (PCM) in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between PCM and relapse in patients with UC and compare the usefulness of PCM with other histological indexes, including mucin depletion (MD) and basal plasmacytosis (BP).

Methods

Patients with UC in clinical remission (CR) who underwent colonoscopy to confirm a Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) ≦1 with biopsies from the distal colon were enrolled into this retrospective cohort study. Biopsy samples were evaluated for histological findings of PCM, MD, and BP. Clinical relapse was defined as partial Mayo score ≧3 or medication escalation. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine independent predictors of relapse among the three histological findings, MES, and patient background, and relapse prediction models were generated.

Results

Eighty-three patients were enrolled in this study (MES 0, n = 47; MES 1, n = 36). The number of PCM cases was significantly higher in patients with prolonged CR than that in those with relapse (p = 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that the absence of PCM and MD were related to relapse in all the patients. In patients with MES 1, the absence of PCM was the only risk factor significantly and independently associated with relapse (hazard ratio, 4.51 [1.15–17.7]; p = 0.03).

Conclusion

The absence of PCM was a histological risk factor for relapse in patients with MES 1, implying a protective role for PCM in remission and a new index for mucosal healing.

Viele erhielten in der Pandemie zu früh Sauerstoff

Die Entscheidung zur Sauerstofftherapie in Notaufnahmen variierte in Italien während der Corona-Pandemie stark zwischen den einzelnen Kliniken. Oft entschieden sich Ärzte und Ärztinnen jedoch früher als nötig für eine Behandlung mit Sauerstoff.

Zufällig entdeckter Barrett-Ösophagus nicht weniger risikobehaftet

Fälle von Barrett-Ösophagus, die bei einer ÖGD als Zufallsbefund zutage treten, sind keine Seltenheit und auch keineswegs harmloser als Barrett-Metaplasien, die bei gezieltem Screening oder Surveillance-Untersuchungen entdeckt werden. 

Eosinophile Ösophagitis: Doppelte Dosis PPI wirkt besser

Protonenpumpenhemmer führen bei eosinophiler Ösophagitis nur in etwa jedem zweiten Fall zu einer klinischen bzw. histologischen Remission, so das Ergebnis einer Metaanalyse. Verbessern lässt sich die Quote möglicherweise mit einer Dosisverdopplung und der Aufteilung der Tagesdosis.

Testosterontherapie bei Klinefelter-Syndrom senkt Sterblichkeit

Das Klinefelter-Syndrom bleibt bei vielen Männern unerkannt – und selbst nach einer Diagnose erhalten Betroffene oft keine Testosteronersatztherapie. Eine dänische Studie zeigt jedoch, dass eine solche Behandlung die Mortalität um nahezu 50% senken kann.
