RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells have potential applications in inflammatory bowel disease due to their immunomodulatory properties. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of endoscopic administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) in a colitis model in rats. METHODS: Colitis was induced in rats by rectal trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS). After 24 h ASCs (107 cells) or saline vehicle were endoscopically injected into the distal colon. Rats were followed for 11 days. Daily weight, endoscopic score at days 1 and 11, macroscopic appearance at necropsy, colon length and mRNA expression of Foxp3 and IL-10 in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were analyzed. RESULTS: Endoscopic injection was successful in all the animals. No significant adverse events or mortality due to the procedure occurred. Weight evolution was significantly better in the ASC group, recovering initial weight by day 11 (- 0.8% ± 10.1%, mean ± SD), whereas the vehicle group remained in weight loss (- 6.7% ± 9.2%, p = 0.024). The endoscopic score improved in the ASC group by 47.1% ± 5.3% vs. 21.8% ± 6.6% in the vehicle group (p < 0.01). Stenosis was less frequent in the ASC group (4.8% vs. 41.2%, p < 0.01). Colon length significantly recovered in the ASC group versus the vehicle group (222.6 ± 17.3 mm vs. 193.6 ± 17.9 mm, p < 0.001). The endoscopic score significantly correlated with weight change, macroscopic necropsy score and colon length. Foxp3 and IL-10 mRNA levels in MLN recovered with ASC treatment. CONCLUSIONS: ASC submucosal endoscopic injection is feasible, safe and ameliorates TNBS-induced colitis in rats, especially stenosis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Proton-pump-inhibitors are often prescribed unnecessarily in hospitals, which in turn induces their prescriptions after discharge. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate patients starting treatment with proton-pump-inhibitors during hospitalisation and proportion of inappropriate prescriptions. Patient risk factors and whether initiation in hospital induced their continuation in ambulatory care were also analyzed. METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional study in a tertiary hospital (1350 beds) was carried out on the first Tuesday in February 2015. Pharmacists screened admitted patients treated with proton-pump-inhibitors using an electronic prescription program (FarmaTools®-5.0). They also checked patients' home medications before admission by accessing a primary care program (Horus®). Authorized indications according to Spanish-Medicines-Agency and those recommended in Spanish-Clinical-Practice-Guidelines were considered appropriate. Hospital-medical-records were checked to know whether proton-pump-inhibitors were prescribed at discharge. RESULTS: Three hundred seventy nine patients were analysed. Two hundred ninety four of them were prescribed proton-pump-inhibitors (77.6%). Treatment was initiated during admission for 143 patients (48.6%, 95% CI: 42.8-54.5). Of them, 91 (63.6%, 95% CI: 55.2-71.5) were inappropriate, mainly due to its inclusion unnecessarily in protocols associated with surgeries or diseases (56 cases of 91, 61.5%). Additional inappropriate indications were surgical stress ulcer prophylaxis for surgeries without bleeding risks (19.8%) and polypharmacy without drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (18.7%). Of 232 discharge reports assessed, in 153 (65.9%, 95% CI: 59.5-72), proton-pump-inhibitor continuation was recommended, of them, 51 (33.3%) were initiated at admission. CONCLUSION: In hospitalized patients there is a high prevalence of prescription of proton-pump-inhibitors unnecessarily. The superfluous use is often associated with the prescription of treatment protocols. Those treatments started in the hospital generally did not contribute to over-use existing primary care, most of them were removed at discharge.

RESUMEN

Isolated polycystic liver disease (IPLD) is a rare genetic condition characterized by the presence of multiple liver cysts with no association with polycystic kidney disease. Most patients are asymptomatic and acute complications (cyst torsion, bleeding, infection) are uncommon.Imaging techniques, including abdominal ultrasounds, computerized axial tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, represent a vital diagnostic modality. They are also useful for therapy support in this disease. Below we report a peculiar case of a female patient recentlydiagnosed with IPLD who, having received treatment with ultrasoundguided percutaneous drainage and sclerotherapy for a giant liver cyst, showed symptom and laboratory improvement.

RESUMEN

La enfermedad hepática poliquística aislada (EHPA), es una rara entidad genética que se caracteriza por la presencia de múltiples quistes hepáticos, sin estar asociada a la poliquistosis renal. La mayoría de los pacientes son asintomáticos, y son infrecuentes las complicaciones agudas (torsión quística, hemorragia e infecciones). Las técnicas de imagen, como la ecografía abdominal, tomografía axial computarizada y resonancia magnética, son un método diagnóstico fundamental. Además, son útiles como apoyo terapéutico en esta enfermedad. A continuación les presentamos un caso clínico peculiar de una paciente recientemente diagnosticada de enfermedad hepática poliquística aislada, quien tras recibir un tratamiento con drenaje percutáneo de un quiste hepático gigante y escleroterapia guiada por ecografía, presentó mejoría sintomática y analítica

RESUMEN

The rupture of gastric varices results in variceal hemorrhage, which is one the most lethal complications of cirrhosis. Endoscopic therapies for varices aim to reduce variceal wall tension by obliteration of the varix. The two principal methods available for esophageal varices are endoscopic sclerotherapy (EST) and band ligation (EBL). The advantages of EST are that it is cheap and easy to use, and the injection catheter fits through the working channel of a diagnostic gastroscope. Endoscopic variceal ligation obliterates varices by causing mechanical strangulation with rubber bands. The following review aims to describe the utility of EBL and EST in different situations, such as acute bleeding, primary and secondary prophylaxis.

RESUMEN

Objetivos. Analizar las características al ingreso, el curso evolutivo y el pronóstico de la hemorragia digestiva alta (HDA) en el paciente anciano. Material y métodos. Estudio prospectivo en el que se incluyeron 103 pacientes con edad igual o superior a 80 años, que ingresaron en una Unidad de Sangrantes por un episodio de HDA en un año. Analizamos los antecedentes personales, características de la hemorragia, realización de la endoscopia urgente diagnóstica y terapéutica y factores pronósticos asociados. Resultados. La etiología más frecuente de la HDA fue el sangrado por úlcera gastroduodenal en el 65,1%, siendo el 60,2% consumidores crónicos de antiinflamatorios no esteroideos. Se realizó endoscopia diagnóstica urgente en todos ellos, con una eficacia del 94,2% y terapéutica en el 28,2%. La tasa de resangrado fue del 8%, requiriendo cirugía urgente el 4,9%, con una mortalidad global del 5,8%. Conclusiones. La realización de endoscopia urgente y la aplicación de terapéutica endoscópica es un método seguro y eficaz para detener el sangrado por HDA en el anciano, lo cual ha reducido la necesidad de cirugía urgente, mejorando la supervivencia del enfermo anciano sangrante(AU)


Objectives. To evaluate the patient characteristics, outcome, and prognosis of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage in the elderly. Material and methods. A prospective study was conducted on 103 patients aged 80 years and over, admitted to a Gastrointestinal Bleeding Unit after an episode of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We analysed the personal history, the characteristics of the bleeding event, and whether an urgent diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy was performed, in order to identify clinical data and endoscopic findings that may have an influence on the outcome of the haemorrhage. Results. The major cause of the haemorrhage was peptic ulcer in 65.1%, and 60.2% of patients were on chronic treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. An urgent diagnostic endoscopy was performed in all of them, identifying the source of bleeding in 94.2%, and treatment was carried out on 28.2%. The likelihood of rebleeding was 8%, and 4.9% of patients underwent emergency surgery, with an overall mortality rate of 5.8%. Conclusions. The performance of urgent endoscopy and the application of endoscopic haemostasis are safe and effective in stopping upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly. This has significantly reduced the need for emergency surgery, improving the survival of the bleeding elderly patient and preventing recurrent bleeding(AU)

RESUMEN

En el curso de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal pueden aparecer múltiples manifestaciones extraintestinales, y las cutáneas son bastante habituales tanto en la colitis ulcerosa como en la enfermedad de Crohn. El pioderma gangrenoso y el eritema nodoso son las más frecuentes, y existen otras manifestaciones cutáneas muy poco frecuentes, como la vasculitis leucocitoclástica. Presentamos el caso de un paciente en el que se diagnosticó de forma simultánea la enfermedad de Crohn y la vasculitis cutánea, con mejoría clínica significativa de ambos cuadros tras instaurar tratamiento con corticoides (AU)


In the course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) a number of extraintestinal manifestations are known to occur, being the dermatological ones often associated to both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Pyoderma gangrenosum and erythema nodosum are the most frequent, but there are other skin manifestations less frequently reported such as leukocytoclastic vasculitis. We present a case, in which Crohn's disease and leukocytoclastic vasculitis were simultaneously diagnosed, and corticoids treatment achieved complete remission of the both cutaneous and gastrointestinal manifestations (AU)
