研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate if circadian malalignment (unusual sleeping patterns), such as night shifts (sleeping during the day and being awake during the night time), worsens the inflammation of the gut. We hope to look at patients with Ulcerative Colitis and Healthy Controls.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Dim Light Melatonin Onset (DLMO) From Baseline (Aligned) to Circadian Misalignment Misalignment
时间窗: Blood is drawn every hour over 8 hours to measure plasma melatonin in dim light < 5 lux in Aligned Circadian Rhythms, and blood is drawn every hour for 12 hours under dim light in Misaligned Circadian rhythms.
Amount of time between dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) to sleep onset. The hours reported for this outcome measure equates the time of the day the participant fell asleep
Change in Intestinal Permeability From Baseline (Aligned Circadian Rhythms) to Circadian Misalignment
时间窗: 24 hour urine collection beginning at baseline and 24 hour urine collection at circadian misalignment, an average of 3 days from baseline to circadian misalignment
Intestinal permeability is assessed through spectrophotometric measurements of sucralose, sucrose, maltose and lactulose concentrations in urine following ingestion of a sugar cocktail.
次要结局
- Change in 24 Hour Urinary Melatonin Concentrations From Baseline (Aligned Circadian Rhythms) to Circadian Misalignment(24 hour urine collection at baseline and 24 hour urine collection at circadian misalignment circadian)
- Change in Stool Calprotectin From Baseline (Aligned Circadian Rhythms) to Circadian Misalignment(10 minute stool collection conducted at baseline circadian rhythm and at circadian misalignment.)
- Change in Concentration of Serum Cytokine Markers of Inflammation From Baseline (Aligned Circadian Rhythms) to Circadian Misalignment(Blood is drawn every two hours over a 24 hour period at baseline (12 draws), and blood is drawn every two hours over a 24 hour period at circadian misalignment)
- Change in Mayo Score From Baseline (Aligned Circadian Rhythms) to Circadian Misalignment(30 minute flexible sigmoidoscopy at Baseline and 30 minute flexible sigmoidoscopy at Circadian Misalignment)
- Changes in Clock Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells From Baseline (Aligned Circadian Rhythms) to Circadian Misalignment(Blood is drawn every two hours over a 24 hour period at baseline (12 draws), and blood is drawn every two hours over a 24 hour period at circadian misalignment)
- Changes in Gene Expression of Colonic Tissue Biopsies From Baseline (Aligned Circadian Rhythms) to Circadian Misalignment(30 minute flexible sigmoidoscopy at Baseline and 30 minute flexible sigmoidoscopy at Circadian Misalignment)
