Summary: This review discusses the differential regulation of miRNAs in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Through literature curation and computational analysis, a consensus set of differentially expressed miRNAs in mucosal tissues was obtained. The role of these miRNAs and their potential targets in IBD are highlighted.

Summary: Patients with longstanding inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are at high risk of developing intestinal cancers. This study found significant differences between intestinal cancers associated with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease-associated cancers were diagnosed at more advanced stages, detected less frequently by surveillance, and had a poorer prognosis compared to those associated with ulcerative colitis.

Summary: This study investigates the associations of immunoglobulin A1 and A2 glycosylation with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Differences in IgA O- and N-glycosylation between patient groups were found to be associated with the diseases, and a statistical model was constructed to predict the disease group of the patients. These findings contribute to the development of noninvasive biomarkers for IBD and improvement in patient care.

Summary: While UC patients were more likely to have neoplasia detected during colonoscopy, the rates of progression from LGD and HGD to adenocarcinoma were equivalent in UC and CD, suggesting consistent endoscopic surveillance strategies for all IBD patients.

Summary: The study found that smoking was associated with an increased risk of ulcerative colitis, while offering potential protection against Crohn's disease. However, genetic evidence did not support a causal relationship between smoking intensity and the development of these inflammatory bowel diseases.

Summary: The study found that Crohn's disease can develop postoperatively with an increasing cumulative incidence over time. Preoperative predictive factors are limited and should not determine candidacy for surgery. Most patients have favorable outcomes with medical therapy, while 16% of Crohn's disease patients require pouch removal.

Summary: In this study, the authors reported a large real-world experience with the use of upadacitinib in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. They found that upadacitinib was rapidly effective and safe, even in patients who had prior exposure to tofacitinib.

Summary: Indeterminate colitis (IC) is a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with features of both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This study examines the characteristics of patients hospitalized with IC in the United States (US) and compares them with patients admitted with CD and UC. The study also analyzes trends in cost and length of stay.

Summary: In this study, we found that L. gallinarum significantly reduced intestinal tumor number and size in murine models, by producing protective metabolites that promote apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells, thus protecting against intestinal tumorigenesis.

Summary: This study investigated the link between gut microbiome composition and post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. The results showed that the gut microbiome of patients with long-term complications of COVID-19 differed significantly from that of non-COVID-19 controls and patients without post-acute COVID-19 syndrome.
