Inflammatroy Bowel Disease Flashcards
idiopathic inflammatory intestinal disease resulting from an inappropriate immune activation to host intestinal micro flora
Inflammatory bowel disease
define IBD
it is an idiopathic inflammatory intestinal disease resulting from an inappropriate immune activation to host intestinal micro flora
types of IBD
Crohn’s Disease (CD)
Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
Others (Indeterminate colitis)
between UC and CD, which has a higher incidence?
incidence of UC is 3 times higher than that of CD
Autosomal recessive missense mutations of the interleukin (IL)-10 receptor gene cuses what?
cause severe disease through loss of function and, therefore, failure of IL-10 to down-regulate inflammation.
Highest rates of IBD are seen among ____ population
Jewish
1st peak of IBD
15-40
2nd peak of IBD
55-65
CD is associated with _____ gene polymorphisms and E. coli outer membrane and flagellin
NOD2/CARD15
interaction between ____ and ____ is critical to the pathogenesis of Crohn’s
T cells and APC
genetic etiology of UC
IL-23R gene polymorphisms have been identified, most notably the Arg381Gln polymorphism
pathogenesis of IBD
continuous antigenic stimulation by commensal enteric bacteria, fungi or viruses
autoantibody that has received significant attention in UC patients
pANCA
Extends into the deeper layers of the intestinal wall and may affect the mouth, esophagus stomach and small intestines
CD
Transmural inflammation and skip lesions
CD
ulceration and inflammation of the inner lining of the colon and rectum
UC
form of characteristic ulcers or open sores
UC
Symmetrical, continuous
UC
DR2-related genes
UC
DR5DQ1 alleles
CD
pathologic hallmark of CD
Focal intestinal inflammation
what is an aphthae
superficial ulcer in the mucosa
Cobblestone appearance
CD
35-50% CD is located in
both ileum and colon
35% CD is located in
SI
late features of CD
Large ulcers, sinus tracts, and stricture, adhesion of bowel loops
macroscopic features of CD
skip lesions narrowing of lumen linear mucosal ulceration creeping fat fat wrapping
creeping of mesenteric fat onto the serosal surface of the bowel
fat wrapping
fat wrapping is seen in
CD
Granuloma
CD
CD compared to TB Ileitis
TB has no central and caseating necrosis
