Atorvastatin Efficacy and Safety in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Statins exert numerous pleiotropic effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties, endothelial function improvement, and immunomodulation independent of their basic lipid-lowering properties.

Atorvastatin in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by diffused inflammation of the colon and rectum mucosa; however, the exact underlying mechanisms of UC remain poorly understood. Statins exert numerous pleiotropic effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties, endothelial function improvement, and immunomodulation independent of their basic lipid-lowering property.

Broccoli Sprouts for Mild Ulcerative Colitis
The goal of this study is to determine the number of servings of broccoli sprouts sufficient to (1) increase sulforaphane levels in the stool and blood and (2) reduce inflammatory markers in patients with mild ulcerative colitis. This is a pilot feasibility study to prepare for a larger randomized controlled trial.

Can Intermittent Fasting Induce Weight Loss and Improve Gut Health as Compared to Standard Medical Care in Patients With Obesity/High BMI and Crohn's Disease.
Diet is a determinant of gut microbial diversity and composition and is recognized as a potential environmental trigger for IBD; for example, high-fat diets are associated with increased risk of CD in pre-clinical models, with effects mediated through dysbiosis and altered gut permeability. Diet is also a potential non-pharmacological therapy for weight loss and for reducing the occurrence of disease flares and the reliance on dose escalation of biologic agents. Indeed, there is accumulating evidence for the role of diet in the treatment of CD, and diet-induced improvement of microbial dysbiosis is associated with induction of...

Clinical Study of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Moderate and Severe Crohn's Disease
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-ended study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of human umbilical cord MSCs in the treatment of refractory moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. The study protocol is either MSC injection into the patient's diseased intestinal mucosa or intravenous MSC injection + MSC injection into the patient's diseased intestinal mucosa. Follow-up time points were pre-treatment (week 0), week 4, week 8, week 12, and week 24 post-treatment, and the primary evaluation at follow-up was the number of subjects with clinical and endoscopic response or remission.

Clinical Study on the Distribution of Digestive Tract Microbiota Before and After Ileocecal Resection in Crohn's Disease
In this study, the microbiota sequencing was used to investigate the changes of microbiota in the terminal ileum and the middle part of ascending colon, the mesenteric adipose tissue of ileum and ascending mesocolon, and oral cavity of patients with Crohn's disease before and after ileocecal resection, so as to further explore the role of ileocecal region in inducing remission of disease.

Combined Application of EEN in the Induction of Remission in PUC
The role of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in the induction of remission in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease had been well documented. But the role of EEN in children with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) was not clear. In this study, EEN will be combined with corticosteroids or infliximab in the induction of remission in pediatric UC patients with moderate to severe disease activity. The mucosal healing rate at week12 will be compared between the two groups (combine with EEN group VS non-combine group).

Comparative Study of Intestinal Color Ultrasound and Capsule Endoscopy in Monitoring Crohn's Disease
The disease activity index under intestinal color ultrasound was evaluated by SUS-CD, and the disease activity index under capsule endoscopy was evaluated by CECDAI. All subjects underwent intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy at baseline and at the third month of treatment. To compare the correlation between SUS-CD and CECDAI before and after treatment, and to compare the role of intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy in monitoring Crohn's disease in small intestine.

Comparing Hand-sewn (END-TO-END or Kono-S) to Stapled Anastomosis in Ileocolic Resection for Crohn's Disease
The aim of this multicenter randomised controlled trial is to compare the handsewn (end-to-end and Kono-S) to the stapled side-to-side ileocolic anastomosis after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease with respect to 6 months endoscopic recurrence, functional outcome and health care consumption.
