Journal ArticleDOI

Effectiveness of an 'half elemental diet' as maintenance therapy for Crohn's disease: A randomized-controlled trial.

TL;DR: Although thiopurines have a proven role in maintenance therapy for Crohn's disease, an alternative therapy is needed for patients intolerant or resistant to thiopirines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crohn's disease is associated with novel polymorphisms in the 5'-flanking region of the tumor necrosis factor gene

TL;DR: Although the findings need to be confirmed in other populations with larger numbers of patients, TNF gene polymorphisms -1031C, -863A, and -857T are positively associated with CD; they may influence not only the susceptibility to CD but also the disease location.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ulcerative Colitis is Associated with a Promoter Polymorphism of Lipopolysaccharide Receptor Gene, CD14

TL;DR: The promoter polymorphism of the CD14 gene at -159T plays a significant role in regulating theCD14 expression and is positively associated with ulcerative colitis, and this polymorphism may confer a genetic predisposition to ulceratives colitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes of Faecal Microbiota in Patients With Crohn's Disease Treated With an Elemental Diet and Total Parenteral Nutrition

TL;DR: Faecal microbiota in Crohn's disease patients was markedly different from healthy subjects, and species diversity was reduced by total parenteral nutrition, but not by elemental diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical course and longterm prognosis of Japanese patients with Crohn's disease: predictive factors, rates of operation, and mortality.

TL;DR: CD patients with colitis-type CD showed a better clinical course and had significantly different clinical features compared with the patients with ileitis and ileocolitis type, and the relative survival rates in Japanese patients with CD are not different from those seen in Western countries.
