Article Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease. Both diseases, despite being different, may require the same surgical procedure: proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). The main complication after this procedure is pouch inflammation (pouchitis). This inflammatory complication can affect up to 60 percent of patients who receive IPAA for UC, and a very small percentage of the FAP patients. The purpose of this review was to determine the current molecular mechanisms in its pathogenesis and detail the risk factors involved in pouchitis, its diagnosis, and treatment.

This review and commentary outline the strong rationale for normalizing the abnormal microbiota of patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and pouchitis and focus on strategies to improve current variable outcomes of fecal microbial transplant (FMT) in ulcerative colitis. Applying lessons from successful FMT therapy of recurrent Clostridioides difficile and insights from basic scientific understanding of host/microbial interactions provide strategies to enhance clinical outcomes in IBD. We outline promising approaches to develop novel-defined consortia of live biotherapeutic products and combination treatments to improve current results and to optimize and personalize treatment approaches in individual patients and disease subsets.

COVID-19 symptoms are often perceived as respiratory only. However, recent findings have shown that gastrointestinal symptoms are being reported in a significant number of patients, ranging from 17% to more than 50%, with some studies speculating that the figure may be even higher, but that it is under-reported and overlooked. Therefore, a hypothesis was put forward that gastrointestinal symptoms related to COVID-19 may make pouch or stoma function deteriorate or even mimic pouchitis symptoms in ileoanal pouches and gastroenteritis in stoma patients; the intention was to investigate this further and to test the hypothesis.

Introduction: The impact of pregnancy on the development of pouchitis in women who have undergone total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis is poorly understood.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of women with ulcerative colitis who underwent total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis and subsequently became pregnant at Mount Sinai Hospital. The primary outcome was acute pouchitis during pregnancy or the postpartum period defined as symptoms of increased stool frequency and urgency treated with antibiotics.

The intestinal microvascular endothelium plays a crucial role in orchestrating host responses to inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract. This review delves into the unique aspects of intestinal microvascular endothelial cells, distinct from those of larger vessels, in mediating leukocyte recruitment, maintaining barrier integrity, and regulating angiogenesis during inflammation. Specifically, their role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases, where dysregulated endothelial functions contribute to the disease progression, is reviewed.

Altered microbiota and impaired host immune function have been linked to the pathogenesis of pouchitis. We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and RNA sequencing data from a previous randomized clinical trial (RCT) on fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) therapy in 26 chronic pouchitis patients with one-year follow-up. We analyzed changes in both luminal and mucosal microbiota composition, as well as in host mucosal gene expression to gain insights into the host-microbiota interactions possibly underlying clinical outcomes of the patients.
