    Abstract Objectives: Faecal calprotectin is an important biomarker used in the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to establish the value of faecal calprotectin concentration as a predictor of remission in ulcerative colitis and its correlation with laboratory, endoscopic and clinical findings.
    Methods: The single centre study included 126 adult patients with established diagnosis of ulcerative colitis consecutively visiting our Day clinic from March 2017 to March 2019. We measured serum biomarkers- CRP, haemoglobin, leukocytes and platelets. Faecal calprotectin was determined from stool, and endoscopy was performed with calculation of MAYO endoscopic subscore system (MES 0-1: remission, and MES 2-3: active disease). Clinical assessment was done by using Mayo score for ulcerative colitis (clinical Mayo score <2:remission, >5: active disease).The statistical analysis was performed using an univariate and multivariate model of disease remission prediction using logistic regression.
    Results: According to univariate analysis the increase of faecal calprotectin concentration by 10 ug/g is associated with an 8% decrease in probability of disease remission (OR 0.9921,
    Conclusion: Our results have shown that faecal calprotectin is an independent predictor of remission in UC patients. The results of our study represent real-life data from a single university centre dealing with FC as a prognostic marker in patients with UC. KEY MESSAGESFaecal calprotectin is an independent predictor of remission in UC patients.Recent studies have suggested that calprotectin correlates well with endoscopic activity of inflammation but correlation of faecal calprotectin in a phase of remission hasn't been evaluated yet.We have found that other inflammatory biomarkers do not correlate well with either endoscopic or clinical activity in ulcerative colitis.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To review recent reports on techniques and tools for screening and diagnosis of malnutrition in gastrointestinal disease, in the light of the newly published definition of malnutrition by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM).
    Recent findings: In 2019, the GLIM concept of malnutrition was published advocating a two-step procedure; first, screening, and second confirmation of the diagnosis that requires a combination of phenotypic and etiologic criteria. Three studies in patients with gastrointestinal disorders so far published utilize the GLIM criteria. Otherwise, traditional tools, as Nutrition Risk Screening-2002, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool or Subjective Global Assessment are used, and confirm that malnutrition is observed in a substantial number of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), serious liver disorders and various forms of pancreatitis. Common for these disorders is an extensive loss of muscle mass, which is one of the GLIM phenotypic criteria. Such patients often undergo abdominal computed tomography scans that enable psoas muscle mass at L3 or L4 level to be calculated.
    Summary: The GLIM criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition are feasible for IBD, liver and pancreas diseases. Pending studies expect to provide data on the clinical relevance to diagnose malnutrition by the GLIM concept.

    Abstract Chronic inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) triggers significant extracellular matrix remodeling, including elastin remodeling, leading to severe clinical complications. Novel methods to assess intestinal tissue destruction may act as surrogate markers of endoscopic disease activity, relieving patients of invasive endoscopy. We explored the noninvasive blood-based biomarkers ELP-3 and ELM-12, measuring elastin degradation in IBD. In a study involving 104 Crohn's disease (CD), 39 ulcerative colitis (UC), and 29 healthy donors, we assessed these biomarkers' association with endoscopic and clinical disease activity using ELISA. Patients were evaluated based on the SES-CD and CDAI for CD patients and modified MES and partial Mayo for UC patients. ELP-3 and ELM-12 were elevated in patients with IBD. Discerning CD patients in endoscopic remission and mild from moderate to severe, ELP-3 provided an AUC of 0.69 and ELM-12 an AUC of 0.73. The ELP-3 biomarker was associated with UC patients and provided the highest diagnostic power of 0.87 for remission vs. active clinical disease. The data suggest an association of ELP-3 with active CD and ELM-12 with endoscopic remission in CD patients. Additionally, ELP-3 could identify UC patients with active clinical disease from patients in remission. The noninvasive biomarkers ELP-3 and ELM-12 could be potential surrogate biomarkers of elastin degradation and endoscopic and clinical disease markers.

    Abstract Neutrophils play a significant role in sustaining chronic inflammation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The intestinal basement membrane acts as a barrier for immunological homeostasis, where the α3 and α4 chains of type IV collagen are expressed on the mucosal surface. We wanted to develop a biomarker reflecting early tissue injury, providing an opportunity for intervention. Two competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) quantifying human neutrophil elastase (HNE) degraded neo-epitopes of COL4A3 and COL4A4 were developed and investigated in two observational cohorts (n = 161, n = 100). A biomarker of MMP-mediated degradation of COL4A1 (C4M) was used for comparison. In Cohort 1, patients with mild endoscopic ulcerative colitis showed elevated levels of C4A3-HNE compared to those with severe disease. C4M had a strong positive correlation with disease activity. C4A3-HNE/C4M provided superior discrimination between mild and severe endoscopic disease and negatively correlated to disease activity. In Cohort 2, C4A4-HNE and C4A4-HNE/C4M showed similar trends. C4A3-HNE and C4A4-HNE possibly reflect early intestinal tissue injury. Combining the markers with a biomarker of another α-chain of the same collagen provides information on two distinct stages of mucosal damage. These biomarkers may be used to monitor disease flare-up in patients in remission, reducing the need for frequent endoscopic procedures.

    Abstract Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is a serious and potentially fatal complication that occurs in patients with severe malnutrition of various etiologies after repeated, uncontrolled introduction of a diet, especially carbohydrates. Complications of RFS develop due to rapid metabolic changes that occur during the switch from catabolism to anabolism, and cellular depletion of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and micronutrients, and can affect one or more organ systems. Most of RFS complications associated with vitamin deficiency are related to thiamine deficiency. Due to its coenzyme role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and branched chain amino acids, thiamine is an important factor in maintaining the normal function primarily of cerebral energy metabolism. Understanding the basic biochemistry during starvation, and consequently the mechanisms and factors influencing metabolic changes during RFS, is important for timely identification of patients at risk and prevention of RFS and also many clinical complications it can cause regardless of nutritional support modality.

    Abstract The Mediterranean diet (MD) and the Nordic diet (ND) share more similarities than differences. Both diets are based on typical local and seasonal foods, share similar nutritional recommendations based on plant-based dietary principles, and are both now orienting toward environmental protection and sustainability. The main difference between the two diets is the primary fat source. Olive oil is the synonym for MD while the ND uses more rapeseed/canola oil. While longitudinal epidemiological studies support adherence to MD as a way to prevent chronic diseases, ND still needs more such studies because the current results are discrepant. Notably, studies that assessed the association between both diets and lower risks of chronic diseases, disability, and mortality from specific and all causes, implied that ND could also have an advantageous effect as MD. Hopefully, there will be more longitudinal and large prospective studies in the future that will provide more evidence-based recommendations.
