Background: Ulcerative colitis is a common type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between lipid profile, especially high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in patients with ulcerative colitis. Methods: In this study, 45 patients with ulcerative colitis were selected, 25 of whom were diagnosed with active disease and 20 were in clinical remission. Moreover, 45 healthy subjects were selected as the controls. The status of serum lipid profile and MDA level were measured via precise photometric methods. The obtained data were analyzed, using independent t-test and correlation coefficient test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The serum level of HDL-C decreased, while the serum level of MDA significantly increased in patients with ulcerative colitis in comparison with the healthy controls (P < 0.05). No significant correlation was observed between the MDA level and triglyceride, cholesterol, and LDL-C levels in patients with ulcerative colitis. However, a significant inverse correlation was observed between HDL-C and MDA levels (r, -0.306; P < 0.05). Conclusions:The inverse correlation between HDL-C and MDA levels can be regarded as an indicator of the protective role of HDL-C against lipid peroxidation in ulcerative colitis. In patients with ulcerative colitis, the serum level of HDL-C decreased in comparison with healthy subjects. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the HDL-C level in patients with ulcerative colitis.

“…Coronary arteries were non-obstructive and non-stenotic in the majority of cases, and there was evidence of myocardial infarction due to non-atherosclerotic coronary thrombosis [ 6 – 8 ]. Acute myocardial infarction and acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding were present at the same time [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Background ST elevation myocardial infarction is defined as acute myocardial injury with necrosis due to myocardial ischemia. The frequent cause is thrombotic occlusion of atherosclerotic coronary arteries. In particular situations, thromboembolism can cause myocardial infarction in patients with normal coronary arteries. Case presentation We report a particular case of myocardial infarction in a young, previously healthy patient with non-atherosclerotic coronary arteries and inflammatory bowel disease. Although we performed an extensive work up, no clear pathophysiological cause could be diagnosed. Most likely, myocardial infarction was associated with a hypercoagulative state related to systemic inflammation. Conclusion The mechanisms of coagulation disturbances in the context of acute and chronic inflammation are not yet fully understood. A better understanding of cardiovascular events in patients with inflammatory bowel disease might lead to new treatment approaches of cardiovascular disease.

Rationale:Myocardial infarction due to nonatherosclerotic coronary thrombosis in young woman with ulcerative colitis is rare.Patient concerns:A 23-year-old Chinese woman with a 3-year history of ulcerative colitis was admitted to the coronary care unit due to prolonged chest pain.Diagnoses:Myocardial infarction due to nonatherosclerotic coronary thrombosis was diagnosed in this young woman.Lessons:Coronary artery thrombosis in ulcerative colitis is a serious condition and can occur in the young population.
