Dietary Creatine as a Possible Novel Treatment for Crohn’s Ileitis

Crohn’s Disease (Ileitis) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) — Causes and Treatment

Terminal ileitis is not always Crohn’s disease

Chronic inflammation in the terminal ileum (TI) suggests a cause for the patient's symptoms, especially when the clinical suspicion is Crohn's disease (CD). Clinic, laboratory, endoscopic, histopathological evaluation of patients is required for the diagnosis of CD. The most frequent localization of CD is the TI. There are many other diseases affecting the TI. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory dru...

Proceedings of the Balkan Scientific Conference of Biology in Plovdiv

Crohn’s disease is a chronic form of intestinal inflammation, which is segmental, transmural, and granulomatous, and affects any part of the intestine, but most commonly it occurs in the distal ileum and proximal part of the colon. Over the past decade, attention has been paid to the role of neuronal structures and mast cells in regulating the inflammatory and immune responses in inflammatory b...

NOVEL REAGENTS FOR CREATINE KINASE

The purpose of this investigation was to develop a simple colorimetric method for creatine kinase (CK). The new method is based on the reaction of creatine, formed enzymatically from creatine phosphate and ADP, with different glyoxal compounds. Hydrated glyoxals, such as para-nitrophenyl, 2-thiophene, 4- biphenyl, 4, 4' -biphenyl,α-naphthyl, β-naphthyl, para-chlorophenyl, and styryl were...

A novel model of colitis-associated cancer in SAMP1/YitFc mice with Crohn’s disease-like ileitis

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk for developing colorectal cancer. Evidence suggests that colonic dysplasia and colitis-associated cancer (CAC) are often linked to repeated cycles of epithelial cell injury and repair in the context of chronic production of inflammatory cytokines. Several mouse models of CAC have been proposed, including chemical induction thr...
