Objective To explore the differences in disease location,pathological feature,disease severity,extraintestinal manifestations and drug treatment between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with comorbid autoimmune disease (AD) and simple IBD patients.Methods From January 2009 to December 2014,the clinical data of 54 IBD patients with comorbid AD and at the same period 74 simple hospitalized IBD patients were retrospectively analyzed.According to IBD type and whether combined with AD,patients were divided into Crohn's disease (CD)+AD group (n=16),CD group (n=26),ulcerative colitis (UC)+AD group (n=38) and UC group (n=48).Chi square test was performed to compare the differences in disease severity,location,extraintestinal manifestations and drug treatment between IBD patients with and without AD.Results There was no statistically significant difference in location among four groups (all P>0.05).The most common concomitant AD of IBD was rheumatoid arthritis (20.4%,11/54) and ankylosing spondylitis (13.0%,7/54).The proportion of mild active patients of CD+ AD group was lower than that of CD group (2/16 vs 53.8% (14/26),x2 =7.180,P=0.007),while the proportion of severe active patients was significantly higher that of CD group (6/16 vs 0,x2 =8.519,P=0.004).There was no statistically significant difference in moderate active patients between the two groups (P=0.808).Main type of patients of UC+ AD group (76.3 %,29/38) and UC group (68.8 %,33/48) were moderate active patients.There was no statistically significant difference in disease stage and location (all P>0.05).The incidence of extraintestinal manifestations of IBD+AD group (55.6 %,30/ 54) was significantly higher than that of IBD group (9.5 %,7/74,x2 =32.279,P<0.01),and the main manifestation was arthritis (37.0% (20/54) vs 5.4% (4/74),x2=20.504,P<0.01).The rate of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressant application in IBD+AD group was higher than that of IBD group (40.7% (22/54) vs 17.6%(13/74),x2 =8.438,P=0.004;20.4%(11/54) vs 0,x2=14.000,P< 0.01).Conclusions The condition of patients with IBD and comorbid AD is more severe,and the incidence of extraintestinal manifestations is higher.Early treated with glucocorticoid and immunosuppressant could effectively achieve remission.

Objective To study the utility of fibrin glue on prevention of bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection ( ESD).Methods Consecutive patients with gastrointestinal tumors who underwent ESD between July 2015 and June 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were enrolled in the study. The patients receiving ESD before December 31, 2015 were assigned into the fibrin glue group, and patients receiving ESD after December 31, 2015 were assigned into the control group. The fibrin glue group was sprayed with fibrin glue on wound followed by routine hemostasis method, and the control group was given routine hemostasis method only. The bleeding rate after ESD, mean hospital stays and cost were compared between the two groups.Results The bleeding rate after ESD in the fibrin glue group was significantly lower than that in the control group[7. 45%(12/161) VS 14. 79%(25/169), P=0. 035]. There was no significantly difference in the mean hospital stays (9. 09±2. 65 days VS 9. 20±2. 99 days, P=0. 744) and mean cost (24 246±5 519 yuan VS 25 214±6 258 yuan, P=0. 138) between the two groups.Multivariate analysis revealed that the use of fibrin glue was a protective factor for bleeding after ESD. Conclusion Fibrin glue is safe, effective and economical in prevention of bleeding after ESD.
