Medical treatment has, therefore, depended upon the application of general medical measures to combat the effects of the disease, together with the use of agents to diminish the inflammatory process. In the absence of precise atiological knowledge, the se...

متن کاملGene Expression Changes Associated with Resistance to Intravenous Corticosteroid Therapy in Children with Severe Ulcerative Colitis
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Microarray analysis of RNA expression allows gross examination of pathways operative in inflammation. We aimed to determine whether genes expressed in whole blood early following initiation of intravenous corticosteroid treatment can be associated with response. METHODS From a prospectively accrued cohort of 128 pediatric patients hospitalized for intravenous corticosteroi...
