Article Abstract
Background/aims: Although incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been gradually increasing throughout Asia, incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Asia is relatively lower than that in Western and is not well known. This study aimed to evaluate incidence of VTE in Asian IBD patients using a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Studies were identified through literature search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases (from inception inclusive April 2024) for English studies. The criteria for selecting participants were as follows: (1) studies including patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis in the Asian population; (2) comparisons were specified as with control group of non-IBD patients for comparative incidence; and (3) outcomes were measured by relative risks (RRs) and hazard risk for VTE incidence in nationwide cohort studies. Three independent reviewers extracted published data using standardized procedure in accordance with the reporting guidelines. A fixed-effects model was used to estimate pooled effect sizes. Meta-regression analyses were conducted to identify the potential moderating effects of VTE risk in IBD patients.
Results: Five studies met the inclusion criteria. The pooled RR for overall VTE incidence in Asian IBD patients compared with that in non-IBD patients was 2.065 (95% CI: 1.905-2.238). There was no statistical moderating effect of the variables (mean age, female rate, CD proportion, and country) on the outcomes.
Conclusions: In our study, VTE incidence in Asian IBD patients was higher than that in non-IBD patients. It seemed reasonable to consider prophylaxis for VTE in hospitalized IBD patients.

Background And Aims: We aimed to ascertain the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and to assess the prognostic value as a biomarker for disease outcome.
Methods: We collected data from 224 patients (148 male, 76 female; mean age 41 years) from January 2002 to December 2021, with a confirmed diagnosis of PSC who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Muscle mass was quantified at the level of the third lumbar vertebra by measurement of psoas muscle thickness (PMT) and total psoas muscle area (PMA).

This study aims to assess whether endometriosis causally increases the risk of IBD through Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis and to elucidate potential mechanisms using in vitro experiments. A two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis was conducted using genome-wide association study datasets for endometriosis and IBD, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Causal inference was assessed using inverse variance weighting, MR-Egger, and weighted median methods, with MR-PRESSO used to detect horizontal pleiotropy.

The ETS2 gene, a member of the ETS (E26 transformation-specific) family of transcription factors, plays a critical role in the regulation of immune responses, epithelial barrier integrity, and fibrosis, all of which are central to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review explores the molecular characteristics of ETS2, its involvement in immune dysregulation, and its contribution to IBD-associated complications, including fibrosis and colorectal cancer. ETS2 regulates key inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB and JAK-STAT, influencing cytokine production and immune cell polarization.

This study examines the association between autoimmune diseases and melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer using data from the All of Us Research Program. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis including 419,789 participants using multivariable logistic regression models adjusting for sociodemographic variables, comorbidities, and immunosuppressant use. We found significant associations between melanoma and Sjögren's syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), vitiligo, and autoimmune thyroiditis.

Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic immune-mediated liver disease with a recognized, but incompletely defined, association with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The long-term risk of developing IBD in AIH patients and its influence on hepatic outcomes remain unclear.
Aim: To determine the incidence and risk factors for IBD in a large AIH cohort over a 20-year follow-up and to assess its impact on liver-related complications.
