Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing disease that greatly affects patients' quality of life. Stem cell therapy has shown potential to improve the clinical disease activity of patients with refractory IBD when conventional treatments are not effective, but its safety and long-term efficacy need further evaluation.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a group of chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The global incidence and prevalence of IBD have been increasing, and although the specific causes are still unknown, immunological, genetic, and environmental factors are believed to play a role. The development of biologic therapies in the past few decades has greatly improved the treatment of IBD, but there is still no definitive cure and some patients may not respond well to available therapies. However, emerging therapies targeting new pathogenic mechanisms show promising efficacy and safety in early clinical trials, and their potential significance in shaping future treatment options is being emphasized.

Summary: This review examines the mechanisms of action and clinical trial data of emerging drug therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results show that several new therapies have demonstrated positive efficacy and safety data in early clinical trials for both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). As more treatments for IBD are approved, further research is needed to identify predictors of response and conduct head-to-head trials to guide therapeutic options for patients.

Summary: The incidence of COVID-19 among Japanese IBD patients was low, with most patients being in clinical remission and only a small number of severe cases. Age, BMI, and steroid use were identified as independent risk factors for COVID-19 severity in Japanese IBD patients.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of nanomedicines in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The results showed that the size of nanoparticles can modulate the targeting effect on the intestinal epithelial barrier, delivering the drug directly to the inflamed tissue and reducing inflammation and cytotoxicity.

Summary: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic immune-mediated intestinal diseases associated with the interaction between the immune system and the intestinal microbiome. Nutritional therapy is supported in IBD but not commonly used in clinical practice. This literature review aims to enhance the understanding of diet's impact on IBD, focusing on Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The contribution of diet to the development and treatment of IBD is significant, with nutritional interventions improving symptoms and inflammation burden.

Summary: In pediatric UC patients, approximately 50% underwent colectomy during a 2-year interval following IFX failure. Prognosis after IFX failure appeared to improve with availability of new biologic agents and small-molecule drugs in mid-2018.

Summary: This study assessed the efficacy and safety of high-dose, interval cholecalciferol administration in IBD patients receiving infliximab. The results showed that cholecalciferol supplementation was well-tolerated, but high doses were required for patients with IBD to achieve vitamin D sufficiency.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a complex inflammatory immune response. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) has important roles in cellular processes. The relationship between inflammatory diseases and NAD(+) metabolism is being recognized. Therapeutics targeting the NAD(+) pathway show promise in managing IBD. This review examines the molecular biology and pathophysiology of NAD(+) in IBD and provides evidence for the clinical use of NAD(+) in IBD.
