RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Most patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) rely predominantly on medication for disease control. Diet interventions can reduce pharmaceutical expenditures and prolong remission. We designed a prospective study to evaluate whether an immunoglobulin G (IgG)-guided exclusion diet would improve symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in patients with UC. METHODS: The 6-month diet intervention included 97 patients with UC, who were randomly divided into an intervention group (n = 49) and a control (n = 48) group. Individual diet plans were created for the intervention group according to IgG titers; the control group ate a healthy diet as normal. Observational indices included disease activity, extraintestinal manifestations, nutritional status, and QoL. Relationships between food-specific IgG antibodies and these indices were also analyzed. RESULTS: At baseline, there were no significant differences between the groups. Food-specific IgG antibodies were detected in 70.10% of participants. After intervention, the Mayo score was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (2.41 ± 0.89 vs 3.52 ± 1.15, P < 0.05). The number of patients with extraintestinal manifestations decreased from 7 to 2 in the intervention group and from 6 to 5 in the control group. As for nutritive indices, the intervention group had higher mean body mass index and albumin than the control group (23.88 ± 3.31 vs 21.50 ± 6.24 kg/m2, respectively, P < 0.05; 48.05 ± 6.39 vs 45.72 ± 5.48 g/L, respectively, P < 0.05), whereas prealbumin and transferrin were not significantly different between the groups. QoL improved after food exclusion (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: An IgG-guided exclusion diet ameliorated UC symptoms and improved QoL. Interactions between IgG-based food intolerance and UC warrant further study.

Objective To evaluate systematically the clinical efficacy of surgery combined with anti-TNFalpha in treatment of Crohn's disease (CD) with perianal fistula.Method Database including China Biology Medicine disc,Wan Fang Database,PubMed,Cochrane Library and EMBASE were searched withCrohn's disease,anal fistula,fistula,perianal fistula,surgical procedure,surgery,surgical,anti-tumor necrosis factoralpha,anti-TNF-alpha,TNF-alpha,克罗恩病,Crohn's病,肛瘘,手术治疗,外科手术,抗肿瘤坏死因子α制剂,肿瘤坏死因子,肿瘤坏死因子配体超家族员2”between the database establishment and June 2016.Literatures of retrospective case-control studies about surgery combined with anti-TNF-alpha therapy and single surgery in treatment of CD with perianal fistula were retrieved.Data were extracted and evaluated by 2 independent researchers.Patients who underwent surgery combined with anti-TNF-alpha therapy were allocated into the combined therapy group and patients who underwent single surgical treatment were allocated into the surgery group.The complete healing rate,partial healing rate and recurrence rate after therapy were compared between the 2 groups.Count data were represented as the odds ratio (OR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI).The heterogeneity was analyzed by theI2 test.Result Six retrospective case-control studies were retrieved and total sample size was 598 patients,including 256 in the combined therapy group and 342 in the surgery group.The result of Meta analysis showed that there was no significant difference in postoperative complete healing rate and partial healing rate between the 2 groups (OR =1.36,1.47,95 ％ CI:0.94-1.97,0.56-3.88,P ＞ 0.05),and recurrence rate after therapy in the combined therapy group was significantly lower than that in the surgery group (OR =0.26,95％ CI:0.16-0.44,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The complete healing rate and partial healing rate of patients with CD with perianal fistula undergoing surgery combined with anti-TNF-alpha therapy are not superior to that undergoing single surgical treatment,however,recurrence rate after therapy is lower for patients undergoing surgery combined with anti-TNF-alpha therapy.
