Abstract

Background

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a family of enzymes capable of degrading various extracellular matrices (ECM) and basement membrane components playing a role in ECM turnover. They activate and degrade signaling molecules, such as cytokines and chemokines. MMPs are involved in inflammation and have been implicated in tissue degradation and repair occurring in inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the MMP profile of intestinal Crohn's disease (CD) patients before and after immunosuppressive treatment (anti-TNF-α agents or corticosteroids and conventional immunosuppressants azathioprine or methotrexate) to learn more about the therapeutic pathways for immunosuppressive agents.

Methods

Expression of MMP-1, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-10, and MMP-26 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-3 was studied by immunohistochemistry in pretreatment and post-treatment tissue samples. Semiquantitative immunohistochemical scores were tested for correlations with fecal and serum inflammation markers as well as endoscopic and clinical disease activity scores.

Results

Neutrophil MMP-9 (p = 0.039) and MMP-26 (p = 0.030) and stromal TIMP-1 (p = 0.041) and TIMP-3 (p = 0.029) decreased along with treatment. However, expression of TIMP-3 by enterocytes tended to increase. Total histological score demonstrated positive correlation with neutrophil MMP-9 (p = 0.000), MMP-26 (p = 0.014), and macrophage TIMP-1 (p = 0.001). Calprotectin followed a similar pattern with stromal MMP-26 (p = 0.011), TIMP-1 (p = 0.000), and TIMP-3 (p = 0.001). Crohn's disease endoscopic index of severity (CDEIS) value correlated positively with macrophage TIMP-1 (p = 0.007) and stromal TIMP-3 (p = 0.005). Epithelial TIMP-3 presented with negative correlations with CDEIS (p = 0.006) and C-reactive protein values (p = 0.004).

Conclusions

Our results suggest that immunosuppressive drugs modulate disease activity in CD by downregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-26 positive neutrophils and stromal TIMP-1 and TIMP-3.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Wie sieht der OP der Zukunft aus?

04.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Der OP in der Zukunft wird mit weniger Personal auskommen – nicht, weil die Technik das medizinische Fachpersonal verdrängt, sondern weil der Personalmangel es nötig macht.

Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie läuft

03.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Seit November 2023 gibt es evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zum perioperativen Management bei gastrointestinalen Tumoren (POMGAT) auf S3-Niveau. Vieles wird schon entsprechend der Empfehlungen durchgeführt. Wo es im Alltag noch hapert, zeigt eine Umfrage in einem Klinikverbund.

Recycling im OP – möglich, aber teuer

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Auch wenn sich Krankenhäuser nachhaltig und grün geben – sie tragen aktuell erheblich zu den CO2-Emissionen bei und produzieren jede Menge Müll. Ein Pilotprojekt aus Bonn zeigt, dass viele Op.-Abfälle wiederverwertet werden können.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
