“…The UC lesions are concentrated mainly in the rectum and sigmoid colon, and the whole colon in severe cases. UC is characterized by clinical manifestations such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, mucus pus, bloody stools, and other symptoms (1). Immune abnormalities, genetic susceptibility, and intestinal microbial function are the principal pathogenic factors in UC (2).…”

“…Editorial: measuring disease severity in inflammatory bowel disease-the whole is greater than the sum of its parts Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) severity is used by IBD providers, industry, and payers to align around critical care concepts including risk stratification (likelihood of progression, complications and poor outcomes) and treatment decision making (e.g., does the patient's disease severity warrant a biologic?) Treatment decisions based on disease severity (mild-to-moderate or moderate-to-severe) are supported by national guidelines and best practice documents [1][2][3][4][5] and shared-decision aids that translate these concepts to patientsincluding the relative risk of developing IBD complications and benefits of early effective treatment-have been shown to positively impact outcomes. 6 Does disease severity, as currently defined, go far enough in predicting who is at risk for poor outcomes in IBD?…”

“…The majority of patients with UC have a mild disease that is mainly treated with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), whereas patients with severe disease require hormone-induced remission ( 4 , 5 ). It can change the transcription of inflammatory genes, and play anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive roles, therefore it is the preferred therapeutic drug for patients with severe UC ( 4 ).…”

“…It can change the transcription of inflammatory genes, and play anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive roles, therefore it is the preferred therapeutic drug for patients with severe UC ( 4 ). However, in some patients, the oral drugs reach the distal colon, i.e., the second colon, or even part of the descending colon, at a low concentration, which makes it difficult to exert the efficacy and this is the site where UC is most likely to occur ( 5 ). Suppositories can only act on the rectal mucosa, so the inflammation of the distal colonic mucosa is often prolonged ( 1 , 2 ).…”
