Article Abstract

Background And Aims: Cross sectional imaging is an integral part of evaluating disease activity and complications in Crohn's disease. There remains a need to develop guidance that may be for both clinical trials and clinical practice. This initiative aimed to develop consensus statements for definitions of response and remission, transmural healing, optimal timing for assessing, and evaluation of treatment efficacy in patients with Crohn's disease using magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in clinical trials and clinical practice.

Methods: Thirty-three international experts (gastroenterologists (n=29) and radiologists (n=4) participated in a consensus process. A systematic literature review was conducted to inform initial consensus, statements were discussed and voted using a modified Delphi method. Consensus was defined as at least 75% agreement among voters.

Results: The MaRIA score and the simplified MaRIA score should be used to determine response and remission in moderate to severe Crohn's disease. Response was defined as a MaRIA score <11 or an improvement of at least 25%, and a decrease of at least 1 point in the simplified MaRIA score. Remission was defined as a MaRIA score <7 or a simplified MaRIA score <1. Five different definitions were proposed for transmural healing. For the time point of assessment, the group proposed week 24 for response, weeks 24, 52 or 54 for remission, and weeks 52 or 104 for transmural healing.

Conclusion: A consensus expert panel has developed standardized definitions of MRE response, remission, as well as the optimal timing for response assessment in patients with luminal Crohn's disease. Further research is needed to clarify the method for measuring transmural healing.

Background & Aims: Over-activation of pyroptosis, recently reidentified as Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated proinflammatory cell death, results in severe inflammation-related disorders. Intestinal fibrosis, an inflammation-related disorder, remains one of the most common and intractable complications of Crohn's disease (CD). However, it is unknown whether excessive pyroptosis contributes to the development of intestinal fibrosis in CD.

Background: Intestinal fibrosis is a severe and progressive complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly Crohn's disease (CD), for which no effective anti-fibrotic therapies currently exist.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the anti-fibrotic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin (POG), a natural chromone derivative, in TGF-β1-stimulated human intestinal fibroblasts.

Methods: Fibrosis was modeled in human intestinal fibroblast cell lines (CCD-18Co) and human primary intestinal myofibroblasts (HIMF) using TGF-β1.

Background: Mucosal healing (MH) is a key treatment goal in Crohn's disease (CD). However, evidence on pan-enteric MH (PE-MH) in CD patients treated with vedolizumab remains limited. We aimed to assess vedolizumab efficacy in achieving PE-MH using PillCam Crohn's capsule.

Background: Intestinal cells receive incoming signals from neighboring cells and microbial communities. Upstream signaling pathways transduce these signals to reach transcription factors (TFs) that regulate gene expression. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), most single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are in non-coding genomic regions containing TF binding sites.
