Preoperative Nutrition for Crohn's Disease Patients
The investigator hypothesizes that compliance to Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) will be high among patients on an operation for their bowel disease, compared to the compliance rate seen in the general Crohn's Disease (CD) population. Also,the investigator hypothesizes that clinical outcomes would improve, and post-operative complication rate will be reduces in malnourished CD patients receiving pre-operative 4 weeks EEN during the 4 weeks post-surgery, compared to CD patients receiving high energy and protein diet without EEN.

Probiotics Administration Via Colonoscopic Spray and Oral Administration in CDAD Patients
Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) colitis is a common hospital-acquired disease, which increases hospitalization length and the mortality rate. Moreover, refractory or recurrent C. difficile colitis is an emerging disease. The tapering course of oral vancomycin or oral fidaxomicin is current standard treatment for refractory or recurrent C. difficile colitis. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an alternative one. However, the tapering course of oral vancomycin needs a 6- to 12-week duration, fidaxomicin is expensive, and FMT is not available in every hospital; therefore, it is needed to develop a new treatment. Evidence has ...

Quantitative Fluorescence Molecular Imaging of Ustekinumab-800CW to Elucidate the Drug Distribution Throughout Inflamed Tissue in Crohn's Disease and Psoriasis.
Crohn's Disease (CD) and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory diseases. Ustekinumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. Ustekinumab is expensive and primary non-response is high in both CD and psoriasis. Currently, there are no predictors of response to ustekinumab and the actual mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. To clarify the mechanism of action and gain a better understanding of the high primary non-response rates, the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) developed a tracer fluorescently labeling ustekinumab. This study aims to gain insight into ustekinumab distribution and concentrations in the gut. The current...

Regenerative Therapy With Autologous Stromal Vascular Fraction Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Platelet-rich Plasma to Treat Complex Perianal Diseases
Consecutive patients with complex anal fistula were prospectively followed for 12 months. Routine MRI was performed before and at 4 and 12 months after surgery. Continence was assessed likewise using a validated questionnaire. Fistula were drained with setons prior surgery. SVF was harvested from subcutaneous abdominal fat and PRP from peripheral blood. Distal fistulectomy to the sphincter was performed and the wound left open, while the internal orifice was closed. SVF-PRP was injected around the fistula. Patients showered their excision wound until dry. Outcomes were reported as median & interquartile range (IQR)

Safety and Efficacy of Heterologous FMT by SQIMC-md Capsule in Mild-moderate Ulcerative Colitis Patients
This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of heterologous fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) by Standardized Quantitative multi-donor Intestinal Microbiota Capsule (SQIMC-md) in mild-moderate ulcerative colitis patients who fail to achieve clinical remission over 4 weeks after full dose 5-Aminosalicylic acid(5-ASA). Intestinal microbiota transplant for FMT will be prepared from multiple healthy donors and prepared by standardized procedure with fixed quantitative dosage. This strategy might offer a novel and safe therapeutic approach for these patients before step up to corticosteroid, immunosuppressant or biologics...
