The Relationship

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a key anti-inflammatory cytokine, and it is associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the relationship between serum IL-10 level and IBD remains controversial. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed using STATA 12.0 software. Articles were gathered by searching PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Chinese Biomedical Database. Relevant studies were examined to identify their eligibility. Finally, eight studies met the inclusion criteria; these studies consisted of 211 patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC), 134 patients diagnosed with Crohn’s disease (CD), and 131 healthy control subjects. The IL-10 levels in the serum samples of UC patients significantly increased (pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.55, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.08–1.03, P = 0.022). No significant association was observed in both adult (>17 years old) and pediatric (<17 years old) UC patients in a subgroup analysis performed in terms of age among all UC patients. The relationship between serum IL-10 concentration and UC patients did not differ as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and no significant differences were observed when Bio-Plex technology and Luminex assay were used for analyses. There is no statistical difference of serum IL-10 levels between patients with UC and CD. Results suggest that the IL-10 levels increased in UC patients compared with the control group, and such increase contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of UC. Therefore, serum IL-10 level may be a noninvasive biomarker for UC patients.

Adverse Pregnancy

Background: Conflicting data exist regarding the influence of thiopurines exposure on adverse pregnancy outcomes in female patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Objective: The aim of this study was to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive assessment of the safety of thiopurines in pregnant IBD women. Methods: All relevant articles reporting pregnancy outcomes in women with IBD received thiopurines during pregnancy were identified from the databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov) with the publication data up to April 2020. Data of included studies were extracted to calculate the relative risk (RR) of multiple pregnancy outcomes: congenital malformations, low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth, small for gestational age (SGA), and spontaneous abortion. The meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model. Results: Eight studies matched with the inclusion criteria and a total of 1201 pregnant IBD women who used thiopurines and 4189 controls comprised of women with IBD received drugs other than thiopurines during pregnancy were included. Statistical analysis results demonstrated that the risk of preterm birth was significantly increased in the thiopurine-exposed group when compared to IBD controls (RR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.00-1.79; p=0.049; I 2 =41%), while no statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence of other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Conclusion: Thiopurines’ use in women with IBD during pregnancy is not associated with congenital malformations, LBW, SGA, or spontaneous abortion, but appears to have an association with an increased risk of preterm birth.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a promising marker for assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity. However, the utility of FC for predicting mucosal healing (MH) of IBD patients has yet to be clearly demonstrated. The objective of our study was to perform a meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of FC in predicting MH of IBD patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We systematically searched the databases for studies from inception to April 2020 that evaluated MH in IBD. The methodological quality of each study was assessed according to the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies checklist. The extracted data were pooled using a summary receiver operating characteristic curve model. Random-effects model was used to summarize the diagnostic odds ratio, sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Sixteen studies comprising 1,682 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and 4 studies comprising 221 Crohn’s disease (CD) patients were included. The best performance of FC for predicting MH in UC was at cut-off range of 60–75 μg/g with area under the curve (AUC) of 0.88 and pooled sensitivity and specificity of 0.87 and 0.79, respectively. The pooled sensitivity and specificity values of cutoff range 180–250 μg/g for predicting MH in CD were 0.67 and 0.76, respectively. The AUC of 0.79 also revealed improved discrimination for identifying MH in CD with FC concentration. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our meta-analysis has found that FC is a simple, reliable noninvasive marker for predicting MH in IBD patients. FC cutoff range 60–75 μg/g appears to have the best overall accuracy in UC patients.
