Inflammatory Bowel

The intestine can be the target of several immunologically mediated diseases, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). GVHD is a life-threatening complication that occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is associated with a particularly high mortality. GVHD development starts with the recognition of allo-antigens in the recipient by the donor immune system, which elicits immune-mediated damage of otherwise healthy tissues. IBD describes a group of immunologically mediated chronic inflammatory diseases of the intestine. Several aspects, including genetic predisposition and immune dysregulation, are responsible for the development of IBD, with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis being the two most common variants. GVHD and IBD share multiple key features of their onset and development, including intestinal tissue damage and loss of intestinal barrier function. A further common feature in the pathophysiology of both diseases is the involvement of cytokines such as type I and II interferons (IFNs), amongst others. IFNs are a family of protein mediators produced as a part of the inflammatory response, typically to pathogens or malignant cells. Diverse, and partially paradoxical, effects have been described for IFNs in GVHD and IBD. This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of type I, II and III IFNs, including basic concepts and controversies about their functions in the context of GVHD and IBD. In addition, therapeutic options, research developments and remaining open questions are addressed.

Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti korisnost upotrebe imunohistokemijske metode (IHK) zajedno s histopatološkom pretragom u dijagnosticiranju i razlikovanju alimentarnog limfoma (AL) od upalne bolesti crijeva (UBC). U istraživanju su korišteni arhivski histopatološki nalazi i preparati tkiva, parafinski blokovi i stakalca. Prema pripadnosti pasmina podijelili u tri skupine malu, srednju ili veliku skupinu pasa. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi povezanost pojedinih patoloških promjena ovisno o skupini pasa, dobi i spolu. Obavljenim istraživanjem zabilježili smo da je srednja vrijednost dobi u skupini malih pasmina pasa iznosila 7,58±3,59 godina, u skupini srednjih pasmina 7,45±3,04 godina te u skupini velikih pasmina 6,58±3,47 godina. Prosječna dob pasa oboljelih od alimentarnog limfoma iznosila je 8,8 godina, za razliku od upalne bolesti crijeva gdje je iznosila 7,0 godina. Unutar sve tri skupine pasa zabilježen je veći broj jedinki muškog spola. Najveći udio biopsiranih uzoraka (70,73 %) analiziran je iz tkiva tankog crijeva; po 8 uzoraka (27,59 %) iz male skupine pasa, 11 uzoraka iz srednje skupine (37,93 %) te po 10 uzoraka iz velike skupine pasa (34,48 %). Udio biopsiranog tkiva želudca bio je nešto niži (24,39 %) dok je tkivo debelog crijeva uzorkovano u samo dva psa (4,88 %). Histopatološkom analizom utvrđeno je 16 slučajeva upalne bolesti crijeva (45,71 %), 7 slučajeva limfoma (20,00 %), 9 slučajeva suspektne upale (25,71 %) te 3 slučaja suspektne upale/limfoma (8,58 %). Nakon provedene IHK metode ustanovljeno je da je u 6 slučajeva dijagnoza donesena histopatološkom evaluacijom potvrđena, u 5 slučajeva je opovrgnuta dok je u 5 slučajeva IHK metoda bila korisna kako bi razlučili AL od UBC. Utvrđene su značajne razlike (P<0,05) između dijagnoze upalne bolesti crijeva te limfoma ustanovljene patohistološkom pretragom te imunohistokemijskom metodom. Ustanovljena je češća pojavnost T staničnog limfoma u tankom crijevu dok je pojavnost B staničnog limfoma učestalija u želudcu. Povezanost s tendencijom učinka zabilježena je između patohistološke dijagnoze i CD3 biljega (r=-0.34; P=0,08) odnosno između patohistološke dijagnoze i CD79 biljega (r=0.36; P=0,09) s nešto nižom razinom povezanosti između patohistološke dijagnoze i dijagnoze IHK (r=0.21; P=0,34). Na temelju rezultata našeg istraživanja može se zaključiti da je imunohistokemijska metoda korisna za potvrdu dijagnoze i razlikovanje alimentarnog limfoma i upalne bolesti crijeva.

Primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are rare tumors which account for about 0.9% of all gastrointestinal tract tumors. They are usually associated with inflammatory bowel disease, previous radiotherapy, and renal transplantation. We report a case of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma involving the ileocecal region in a 46-year-old gentleman who presented with acute abdominal pain that mandated emergency laparotomy.
