Therapeutic Mechanisms

The treatment of Pediatric Crohn’s Disease (CD) requires attention both to achieve mucosal healing and to optimize growth, while also maintaining proper bone health. Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN) is recommended as first-line treatment in luminal CD. The therapeutic mechanisms of EEN are being discovered by advances in the study of the gut microbiota. Although the total exclusion of a normal diet during the time of EEN continues to be of high importance, new modalities of dietary treatment suggest a successful future for the nutritional management of CD. In this sense, Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) is a long-term strategy, it apparently acts on the mechanisms that influence the appearance of inflammation (reducing dietary exposure to products negatively affecting the microbiota), but does so using specific available whole foods to achieve this goal, increases the time of clinical remission and promotes healthy lifestyle habits. The development of CDED, which partly minimizes the problems of EEN, has enabled a turnaround in the treatment of pediatric CD. This review highlights the role of enteral nutrition in the treatment of Crohn’s disease with special emphasis on newer dietary modalities such as CDED.

AbstractAimsExclusive enteral nutrition [EEN] is as efficacious as corticosteroids [CS] to induce remission in Crohn’s disease [CD], without their adverse effects. EEN seems to be more efficient than steroids to induce mucosal healing, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are only sparsely understood. We aimed in the present work to study the anti-inflammatory effects of EEN with Modulen IBD® vs CS in active paediatric CD, and to assess its modulatory effects on the intestinal microbiota as compared with steroids.Materials and MethodsNineteen patients with new-onset active CD (Harvey-Bradshaw index [HBI] >5), aged from 6 to 17 years, were included in this prospective randomised induction trial with CS [n = 6] or EEN [n = 13]. Patients were assessed at Weeks 0 and 8 using clinical parameters HBI, endoscopic findings (Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity [CDEIS] score) and analysis of faecal microbiota composition.ResultsAt 8 weeks, clinical remission [HBI <5] was achieved in 13/13 patients on EEN and 5/6 patients on steroids; the mucosal healing rate was significantly higher in the EEN [89%] compared with steroid group [17%]. There were no significant differences between groups regarding biological markers, but the intestinal microbiota profiles shifted upon EEN-induced remission to a higher proportion of Ruminococcus bacteria compared with steroid-induced remission [p = 0.049], and with higher proportions of bacteria belonging to Clostridium in EEN-treated patients.ConclusionsBoth steroid and EEN induced clinical remission. However, patients with EEN-induced remission showed a higher rate of mucosal healing and this was associated with a different gut microbiota compositional shift in these children.

Exclusive Enteral Nutrition

Aim. To compare the effectiveness of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) and infliximab (IFX) therapy in pediatric Crohn’s disease (CD). Methods. In a prospective study of children initiating EEN or infliximab therapy for CD, we compared clinical outcomes using the pediatric Crohn’s disease activity index (PCDAI), growth improvement, endoscopic mucosal healing, and adverse effects. Data were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks of therapy. Results. We enrolled 26 children with CD; of whom, 13 were treated with infliximab, 13 with EEN. Clinical response (PCDAI) reduction ≥ 15 or final PCDAI ≤ 10 was achieved by 83.3% in the EEN group and 90.9% in the IFX group. Body mass index for age (BMIFA) z-scores were significantly increased in both groups (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in PCDAI, height for age (HFA), or BMI recovery between two groups. Adverse effects were detected in 30.7% on infliximab and 0% on EEN. Mucosal healing was achieved in 71.4% cases in the EEN group versus 85.7% in the IFX group. Conclusion. EEN provided similar improvements as IFX in clinical symptoms, mucosal healing, and BMI. EEN therapy has less adverse effects when compared with IFX. This trial is registered with the Clinical Registration Number: ChiCTR-OON-17010834.

Abstract Background: this study aimed to understand the effective of exclusive enteral nutrition on clinical remission and mucosal healing with pediatric Crohn’s disease (CD)in a real-world setting in southern China. Methods: In this prospective disease registry, children (aged between 2 and 18years)with newly diagnosed luminal CD were recruited from December 2018 to December 2020. Patients were examined at baseline and at weeks3 and 8 of EEN induction. Logistic regression analysis is used to assess the influencing factors of EEN. Results: The clinical remission and mucosal healing rate of children is 76.5%、35% separately after 8 week induction. The remission rate of mild CD is higher than that of moderate-severe CD, but it is not statistically significant(p=0.01). Disease location、age、the response rate at week 3 all do not predict the effectiveness of EEN treatment.Conclusions: EEN can effectively promote clinical remission and mucosal healing of southern China pediatric Crohn’s disease in short time and is also recommend as the first-line therapy for children with severe luminal CD
