简要总结
Based on the inaccuracies of the current classification scheme for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the failure of surgical pouches and the findings of retrospective observational trials to date, we hypothesize that a significant proportion of patients with UC will have small bowel involvement that will result in a change in diagnosis to CD or the recognition of a new phenotype of IBD. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of small bowel pathology in patients diagnosed with UC using WCE. This information will aid in the current efforts to re-classify IBD using improved endoscopic and imaging technologies, genetic information and serologic information.
详细描述
Subjects will undergo both a blood draw and a wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE).
The blood draw will occur in the GI procedure unit on the day of subjects exam.
WCE: Subject will only consume a clear liquid diet after noon the day prior to the exam. No food or beverage consumption any after 10 PM on the day before examination. Not oral medications after 12 AMon the day of exam (8 hours before subject's exam).
Day of exam, subject will report to the endoscopy unit. At that time, subject will be prepared for examination by doctor who will apply a sensor array to the abdomen with adhesive sleeves. In addition, a waist belt device that holds the data recorder will be fitted to subject. Subjects will swallow the capsule endoscope. The capsule endoscope passes naturally through digestive tract while transmitting video images to the data recorder worn on the belt for approximately eight hours. At this point, subjects will be free to leave the University of Chicago hospital until they return eight hours later for disconnection of the recording equipment.
Two hours after ingestion of the capsule, subject will be able to resume a clear liquid diet. Four hours after the study's start time, subject will be able to resume a regular diet ( solid foods). At this time, subject will also be able to resume taking oral medications.

入选标准
- •Inclusion criteria for the "disease" arm include a clinical impression of ulcerative colitis that includes assessment of the colon by colonoscopy and biopsy and assessment of the terminal ileum either by ileoscopy or by small bowel radiograph or enteroclysis. Subjects in the "control" arm will only be included if they do not carry the diagnosis of UC or CD, have not had previous gastric or small bowel surgery and are free of gastrointestinal symptoms including unexplained abdominal pain, diarrhea or gastrointestinal bleeding.
排除标准
- •A known bowel obstruction, fistula or stricture, a permanent pacemaker and/or implantable defibrillator, history of a swallowing disorder, inability to provide informed consent, pregnancy, the use of aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within the past 30 days, known celiac disease, known terminal ileal disease on ileoscopy and a history of occult or obscure gastrointestinal bleeding of unclear etiology. In menstruating females, a urine HCG will be performed on the day they arrive for the study (prior to ingestion of the capsule), if fourteen (14) days or more have elapsed since their last menstrual period. If subject reports they are menopausal, a urine HCG will be performed unless subject has had no menses during the past two years.
结局指标
