L15: Ibd, Host And Microbiota Flashcards
Where does crohns affect
Any part of the gi tract from oral to rectum
What are skip lesions in crohns
Areas of non inflamed then inflamed again
What does transmural inlfammation in crohns mean
All layere eg from mucosa to serosa. Forms strictures and fistulae
What are strictures and fistulae
Strictures are narrowing of gi tract due to chronic inflammation and scarring process
Fistulae are tunnels connecting 2 tissues/ organs which dont usually. Forming new passages for leakage eg of faeces
What can fistulae form
Abscesses
How does uc compare
Only in colon, no skip lesions, from caecum all the wag to rectum usually
More superficial inflammation to mucosa
Where does crohns usually occur
Terminal ileum
Give some extra intestinal symptoms
Inflammation in eye, enteropsthic arthritis
Where does uc husallt start
Rectum
Whats the precalence in %
0.78 in 2018 but can increase to 1% in 2028
Give some fsctors of prevalence
Westernised diet, usually youngner onset (20-40), environment eg stress, smoking ,
What % have a relapse with uc
90%
What do early relapses indicate
Worse disease course
Who usually gets uc
Yojnger males
How many people usually indergo surgery eith crohns agter 10 years
50%
What are taken all the time whth these conditions
Corticosteroides
What haplens with crohns overtime so needs to be treated fast (target wbc)
Fistulae and strictures
How many genes are related to ibd
300 genes eg nos in inflammation upreg
What causes the intiial inflammation
Impaired barriers, dysbiosis, causing microbe interaction eith inflam cells
Which article discusses cytokines in ibd
Neurath 2014
Which types of genes were involved in ibd
Amps, chemokines, cyotkines
Which ibd has increased il-1b wg from inflammasome causing inflamation via granulochtes and th17
Crohns
Why was increased il18 important in crohns
Induces macrophages which secrete inflammatory ifny
How is il6 important in ibd
Platelet increase, reduced mucosal T death= inflammation bc induces th2
Which ibd is seen high th17
Both uc and crohns
Why is th1 seen crohns
Too much ifny and tnf release = inflammation
What would be the resolution to inflammatjon but not presenf eg due to lack of fibre
Ra, tgfb ——> increase in dc producing tregs
Does il10 block il1b inflammasome
Yes
Why are ifna and b good for ibd
Help regenrstion of epi cells, induce t regs
What do microbiota do to do with ifna and b
Increase its release from apc by binding tlr9
Which gene is upreg in ibd blockign tgf b and therefore tregs
Smad7 signalling protein
What sorts of things do you need to look at when diagnosing ibd
Hereditary factors (3%) Nsaids can dause acute symptoms Smoking history Travel Gastroenteritis which triggers ibd Extra intestinal manifeststions
