INTRODUCTION
Starting with the mid-late nineties, the large-scale
introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART), significantly acted on the natural history
and course of HIV infection in industrialized countries,
leading to a rapid drop of the incidence of all opportunistic
disorders, but principally those linked to a very deep
immunodeficiency (as measurable by a CD4+ Tlymphocyte
count below 50-100 cells/μL) [1-5]. Among these last
infectious complications, we retrieve Cytomegalovirosis,
atypical micobacteriosis, cryptosporidiosis, but also the
most frequent fungal infections, also including visceral or
disseminated disease, caused by the yeasts Candida spp.
and Cryptococcus spp. A recent European multicentre
study observed also an evident decline of diagnosis of
AIDS-associated esophageal candidiasis, during the years
following HAART availability [6].
Still today, nearly 25 years after the discovery of HIV
as the causal agent of AIDS, a non-negligible number of
patients (certainly much more elevated in developing
countries) [7], is still unaware or neglected eventual previous
exposures to HIV infection. In other cases, although HIV
infection has been detected and communicated months
or often years before, the relevant patients neglected or
refused further examinations and eventual therapeutic
and chemoprophylactic recommendations, or showed
very low levels of adherence to HAART, all conditions
which strongly prompt an increased risk to develop severe
opportunistic disease already included in the diagnosis of
AIDS, after a progressive impairment of immune defence,
as demonstrated by very low CD4+ T-cell counts [8, 9].
Due to these complex epidemiological and socialhealth care motivations, the case of a novel diagnosis of
HIV infection performed when already complicated by
an AIDS-related condition (or even posed only at the
time of patient’s death, when HIV infection is detected
on retrospective basis), are still present occurrences, even
after a decade since the availability of the potent HAART
regimens [4, 10-12]. In a recent survey conducted in a
very extensive Italian cohort based on 3,483 patient
with HIV infection or AIDS, the proportion of “AIDS
presenters” increased from a 13.8% rate observed in the
pre-HAART era (until year 1996), up to 32.5% of the
period 1997-2000 [4]. A sub-study published as a part
of the Italian multicentre cohort named “ICoNA” [10]
extensively assessed all possible behavioural correlates
linked to a late access to HIV testing among 968 patients
with a newly diagnosed HIV infection, and also analyzed
the consequences on the staging of the underlying,
unrecognized and untreated HIV disease [10]. Other
Italian data coming from the National AIDS Centre in
Rome strongly witness a significant increase of AIDS
occurrences burdened by a late HIV serology testing:
in the years ranging from 1996 and 2002, an increased
risk regarded patients with sexual exposure, residence
in Italian regions with a proportionally low HIV figures,
or immigrating from developing countries [12]. Among
these patients, pneumocystosis, neurotoxoplasmosis, and
Kaposi’s sarcoma were the most common complications,
but the occurrence of multiple, concomitant
AIDSassociated disorders became apparent [12]. In
a Scottish study conducted between years 1999 and
2003, the condition of “AIDS presenter” was related to
heterosexual males and females (compared with homobisexual male) exposure to HIV [11].

Radovi se pripremaju u skladu sa Jednoobraznim
Pravilima za radove koji se dostavljaju biomedicinskim
časopisima, delo međunarodnog komiteta urednika
medicinskih časopisa (N Engl J Med 1991; 324; 424428). Potrebno je konsultovati ova uputstva i neki od
skorašnjih brojeva Archives of Gastroenterohepatology
pre pripreme rada. Originalni radovi biće prihvaćeni za
štampu samo uz uslov da su predati jedino za Archives
of Gastroenterohepatology. Radovi prihvaćeni za štampu,
postaju vlasništvo Časopisa, i ne smeju se drugde šampati
osim u vidu rezimea od najviše 400 reči; prethodno
objavljivanje rada u vidu rezimea mora se navesti u
napomeni.
Propratno pismo
Propratno pismo (u obliku Word for Windows
dokumenta) sadrži značajna objašnjenja koja se odnose
na rad. Autorima se preporučuje da obezbede na posebnoj
strani imena i adrese od jednog do tri stručnjaka koji
bi, po njihovom mišljenju, bili najkvalifikovaniji da
recenziraju rad.
Rukopis (Rad)
Radove uobličiti u formatu Word for Windows
dokumenta. Oni se mogu dostaviti na jedan od dva načina:
a) na kompakt disku (CD); ili
b) putem elektronske pošte (e-mail-a).
Radovi u celini moraju biti sa dvostrukim proredom
(uključujući i literaturu, tabele, legende slika i napomene)
sa stranicama formata A4 (21 cm x 29.7 cm) uz široke
margine. Struktura rada je sledeća: rezime, uvod, pacijenti
i metodi/materijal i metodi, rezultati, diskusija, literatura,
tabele, i slike.
Svaka od komponenti rada (naslovna strana, itd.)
počinje na posebnoj strani. Sve stranice se numerišu
redom, počevši od naslovne strane. Prezime prvog autora
stavlja se u gornji desni ugao svake stranice.
Sve mere, osim krvnog pritiska, treba da budu u
Systeme Internationale (SI) jedinicama (vidi BMJ 1991;
302:338-41) i, ukoliko je neophodno, mogu biti i u
konvencionalnim jedinicama (u zagradi). Za nazive
lekova se koriste isključivo generička imena.
Autorima se preporučuje da zadrže rezervne (backup)
kopije svoga rada. Archives of Gastroenterohepatology nije
odgvoran za gubitak ili oštećenje elektronskih medija koji
sadrže rad, tokom slanja poštom.
Naslovna strana
Naslovna strana sadrži naslov, kratki naslov, imena i
prezimena svih autora, naziv i tačno odredište institucija
ili odeljenja/klinike kojima pripadaju, zahvalnice,
skraćenice koje se koriste u tekstu, kao i ime i punu adresu
autora odgovornog za korespodenciju. Iza imena svakog
od autora mora stajati indeks-broj koji odgovara broju
ispred naziva i adrese njegove institucije ili odeljenja/
klinike kojoj pripada.
Naslov rada mora biti koncizan ali informativan, i
da sadrži nazive životinjskih vrsta, ako je to celishodno.
Ukoliko je neophodno, može se dodati i podnaslov.
Za potrebe zaglavlja, dodaje se i kratak radni naslov
koji treba da sadrži najviše 50 slovnih mesta, uključujući
i razmake.
Može se dodati i kratka zahvalnica vezana za dotacije,
projekte i bilo koju drugu pomoć u izradi rada.
Potrebno je navesti i listu skraćenica, ukoliko se
koriste u tekstu. Skraćenice treba navesti po abecednom
redosledu, uz objašnjenje šta znače, uopšte uzev, treba
izbegavati korišćenje skraćenica osim ukoliko nisu
neophodne za razumevanje rada.
U desnom donjem uglu naslovne strane treba navesti
ime, broj telefona, broj faksa, tačnu poštansku adresu
i e-mail adresu (obavezno!) autora odgovornog za
korespodenciju.
Rezime
Rezime od najviše 180 reči koncizno izlaže cilj, nalaze
i zaključak studije opisane u radu. Rezime ne sadrži
skraćenice, napomene ili literaturu.
Ispod rezimea navodi se 3 do 8 ključnih reči, za
potrebe indeksiranja. Kad god je to moguće, treba koristiti
termine iz MeSH liste Index Medicus-a.
Uvod
Uvod je koncizan, obrazlaže opravdanost studije i
njen specifičan cilj.
Pacijenti i metodi / Materijal i metodi
U ovom odeljku se opisuje izbor pacijenata ili
eksperimentalnih životinja, kao i kontrole grupe, ukoliko
postoji. Ne smeju se navoditi imena pacijenata ili brojevi
bolničkih protokola.
Metodi se moraju precizno opisati kako bi se
omogućilo njihovo vrednovanje i ponavljanje od strane
drugih istraživača.
Kada se opisuju istraživanja na ljudima, potrebno je
navesti da li su postupci izvedeni u skladu sa standardima
etičkog Komiteta institucije u kojoj je istraživanje
izvedeno i u skladu sa Deklaracijom iz Helsinkija (vidi
BMJ 1964; II:177). Ukoliko se koriste opasne procedure
ili hemikalije, potrebno ih je detaljno opisati, uz opis
sigurnosnih mera. Ukoliko je celishodno, treba potvrditi
da je postupak sa laboratorijskim životinjama bio u
skladu sa opšte prihvaćenim standardima.
U radu se navodi samo kratak pregled korišćenih
statističkih metoda.
Rezultati
Rezultate treba predstaviti koncizno i jasno, uz
minimum tabela i slika neophodnih za pravilnu
prezentaciju.
Diskusija
Za diskusiju nije neophodan iscrpan pregled literature.
Najvažnije rezultate treba diskutovati u vezi sa drugim
objavljenim radovima. Treba pokušati da se objasne
razlike u rezultatima postojeće i drugih studija.
Hipoteze i pretpostavke se moraju jasno identifikovati.
Odeljak Diskusije nije prosto ponavljanje rezultata, i u
njemu se ne smeju izlagati novi rezultati.
Literatura
Literatura se numeriše arapskim brojevima u zagradi,
redom kojim se pojavljuje u tekstu. Pisane komunikacije
i neobjavljeni nalazi se ne citiraju u literaturi, ali se mogu
pomenuti u tekstu u zagradama. Rad koji je „u štampi”
može biti uključen u literaturu ukoliko se navede naziv
časopisa. Skraćenice naziva časopisa treba uskladiti
sa onima koje se koriste u Index Medicus-u. Stil i
intepunkcija moraju biti usklađeni sa zahtevima Archives
of Gastroenterohepatolog-ja. Slede primeri navođenja:
Članak
(ukoliko je šest ili manje autora, svi se citiraju, ukoliko
ih je više od 6, citiraju se prva 3 i dodaje „et. a1.”)

Autori su odgovorni za tačnost svojih literaturnih
podataka.
Tabele
Tabele treba obraditi u istom formatu u kojem je i rad,
i uključiti u tekst rada. Časopis ne može da prihvati Excel
dokumenta. Ukoliko je tabela rađena u Excel-u, treba je
iskopirati i uključiti u osnovni dokument rada. Tabele
same sebe objašnjavaju, a podaci koje sadrže ne treba
ponavljati u tekstu ili na slikama. Tabele su numerisane
arapskim brojevima, imaju naslov iznad i eventualna
objašnjenja (npr. skraćenice) ispod njih.
Slike i legende slika
Sve ilustracije (fotografije, grafikoni, dijagrami) se
smatraju slikama, i numerišu se arapskim brojevima,
redosledom pojavljivanja u tekstu i na legendi slika. Broj
slika treba da bude racionalno redukovan u pogledu
iznošenja poruke rada; slika ne treba da ponavlja podatke
iznete u tabelama ili tekstu. Slike nemaju naslove. Slova,
brojevi ili simboli na slikama moraju biti jasno prikazani,
u odgovarajućoj proporciji, dovoljno veliki da budu
čitljivi kod smanjenja u štampi.
Ukoliko postoji značajno uveličavanje slike
(fotomikrografije) treba ga označiti kalibracionom
trakom na slici, a ne faktorom uvećanja u legendi slike.
Dužina kalibracione trake sa slike treba da bude navedena
u legendi slike.
Crno-bele slike (fotografije, crteži, grafikoni itd.) treba
da budu sačuvani i dostavljeni u jednom od sledećih
formata: TIFF, GIF, ili visokokvalitetni JPEG dokument
uz rezoluciju od najmanje 300 dpi.
Slike u boji treba sačuvati i priložiti: treba da budu
sačuvani i dostavljeni u jednom od sledećih formata:
TIFF, GIF, ili visokokvalitetni JPEG dokument. Grafički
dokument (fajl) slike u boji ne treba da bude veći od 1.5
MB uz rezoluciju od najmanje 300 dpi.
Ukoliko izaberete višu rezoluciju, treba adekvatno
smanjiti dimenzije slike kako bi dokument bio manji
od 1.5 MB. Sve slike treba sačuvati kao posebne grafičke
dokumente i nikako ih ne interponirati u osnovni tekst
rukopisa (Word for Windows dokument).
Ukoliko su slike bile prethodno objavljene, treba
pomenuti originalni izvor i dostaviti pisani pristanak za
reprodukciju od nosioca autorskog prava.
Štampanje slika u boji je moguće samo po zahtevu
autora, koji snosi troškove ovakve štampe.
vraćen autoru, pre završnog odobravanja. U cilju brže
realizacije, autorima neće biti poslat probni otisak, već će
taj otisak biti pregledan od strane Glavnog i odgovornog
urednika, i Urednika deska.
Poverljivost podataka
Pisma Uredniku / Kratka saopštenja
Pisma koja se pozivaju na članke objavljene u
Archives of Gastroenterohepatology, ali i ona koja se na
njih ne odnose (kratka saopštenja), biće razmatrana za
objavljivanje. Takva pisma/saopštenja mogu da sadrže
jednu tabelu ili sliku i do 5 referenci.
Za objavljivanje podataka koji, bilo sami ili u
kombinaciji, mogu da odaju identitet pacijenta (živog ili
preminulog, odraslog ili deteta) potrebno je obezbediti
pisani pristanak od strane samog pacijenta (ili, u slučaju
smrti, od rodbine). Fotografije pacijenata koji se po
njima mogu prepoznati, smeju se objaviti samo uz pisani
pristanak pacijenta.

obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
ABSTRACT:
Background: Both capsule endoscopy (CE) and double balloon
enteroscopy (DBE) are valuable methods for the evaluation of
obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Many experts recommend
the use of CE to guide DBE. However, the true impact of CE on the
yield of DBE in the daily clinical practice has not been evaluated. We
had the unique opportunity to observe the impact of CE on DBE in
patients with OGIB, as the introduction of CE in our clinical setting
occurred reversed, i.e. after DBE.
Aim: To evaluate the impact of CE on the yield of DBE in patients
with OGIB.
Patients and Methods: Consecutive patients evaluated for OGIB
were studied during a two-year period. The patients were categorized
into two periods: before CE (January to December 2006) and after
CE (January to December 2007).
Results: During the first period (before CE) a total of 27 patients (69
yrs, range 12-88) underwent 34 DBEs for OGIB (overt OGIB, n=20,
occult, n=7). During the second period (after CE) a total of 24 patients
(71 yrs, range 25-85) underwent 27 DBEs for OGIB (over OGIB,
n=17, occult, n=7). The diagnostic yield of DBE was 39.9% during
the first period (DBE alone), compared to 62.9% during the second

INTRODUCTION:
Both capsule endoscopy (CE) and double balloon
enteroscopy (DBE) are valuable methods for the
evaluation of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
(OGIB) (1-5). Indeed, the most common indication
for performing capsule endoscopy (CE) and/or
double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is OGIB or
suspected small bowel bleeding (1-5). Although
many experts recommend the use of CE to guide
DBE the best investigation algorithm for patients
with acute OGIB remains to be defined (6,7). In
addition, the true impact of CE on the yield of DBE
in the daily clinical practice has not been evaluated.
We had the unique opportunity to observe the
impact of CE on DBE in patients with OGIB, as the
introduction of CE in our clinical setting occurred
reversed, i.e. after DBE. Therefore, in this study we
aimed to evaluate the impact of CE on the yield of
DBE in patients with OGIB.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This is a retrospective single center cohort-study
of consecutive patients who were evaluated for
OGIB at University of Magdeburg Medical Center
(Universitätsklinikum Magdeburg, Otto von
Guericke Universität, Magdeburg, Germany). OGIB
was defined according to consensus guidelines (6).
Thus, all patients had undergone at least one EGD
and colonoscopy prior to being referred for DBE.
Patients referred for DBE because of abnormal CE
findings from outside institutions were excluded.
All patients provided written informed consent to
undergo CE and DBE, including endoscopic therapy
after the endoscopist and attending physician had
explained the procedure in detail to them. The study
was approved by the ethics committee and conducted
out in accordance to the Helsinki Declaration.
Data abstracted for analysis from the prospectively
collected database included patient’s demographics,
past medical history, laboratory values, indication
for endoscopy, history of co-morbid illnesses, social
history, medications, details of prior endoscopies,
fecal occult blood tests, duration of anemia, results
10
Arch Gastroenterohepatol 2012; 29 (No 1) 9-14
The study cohort was divided into two study periods
based on the local availability of CE. The first period
spanned from 1/2006 to 12/2006 (group I) and the
second period spanned from 1/2007 to 12/2007
(group II).
For the purpose of this analysis only small bowel
lesions explaining the OGIB were considered,
i.e. patients with lesions outside the small bowel
explaining the bleeding (e.g. gastric antral vascular
ectasias, ulcers, etc) or non-specific mucosal lesions
were not considered as small bowel pathologies
causing bleeding and thus were excluded.
Technical aspects:
All patients undergoing CE and DBE underwent
small bowel cleansing on the day before the
procedure using a standard colon lavage solution
(Kleanprep, Germany).
CE was performed based on the recommendations
of ICCE and was performed by an endoscopist with
expert training in CE (LCF). DBE was performed
using two types of Fujinon enteroscopes (Fujinon
intestinoscope FN 450P 5/20, Fuji, Fujinon Corp.,
Japan) by two expert endoscopists (KM, LCF).
The characteristics of these endoscopes have been
presented in detail elsewhere (4). All the DBE
were performed in our endoscopy suite dedicated
for fluoroscopic procedures. Fluoroscopy was
performed using a Philips C-arm (Philips, Holland).
All procedures were performed using conscious
sedation with propofol (Lipuro, Braun, Melsungen).
Conscious sedation was administered by one
physician.
Determination of the primary route of insertion
(oral or antegrade versus anal or retrograde)
During the first period the choice of either the anal
or oral route depended on the suspected location
of the lesions within the small bowel based on the
clinical manifestations, results of laboratory and
radiological examinations (4). In cases of obscure
overt GIB the route of insertion was dictated by
the color of the stool; in cases of melena the oral
approach was preferred, whereas in the presence
of hematochezia the anal approach was used first.
If one DBE route did not yield any diagnosis the
Figure 1. The graph depicts the yield of double-balloon enteroscopy for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding before
and after the introduction of capsule endoscopy. There is a clear rise in diagnostic yield during the second period.
Descriptive statistics were employed to describe the
patient’s demographics and clinical characteristics,
presenting means and ranges. The diagnostic yield
was calculated using percentages and the chi-square
and/or Fisher’s exact test.
RESULTS:
The study cohort comprised a total of 51 patients
that underwent 60 double balloon enteroscopies for
OGIB. During the first period (before CE) a total
of 27 patients (69 yrs, range 12-88) underwent 34
DBEs (overt OGIB, n=20, occult, n=7) (1,2 DBE
per patient) (Group I). During the second period
(after CE) a total of 24 patients (71 yrs, range 2585) underwent 27 DBEs for OGIB (overt OGIB,
n=17, occult, n=7) (1,1 DBE per patient) (Group
II). In group I seven patients underwent both anal
and oral DBE whereas in group II only two patients

Europe and the main methods of investigation of the
small bowel were push enteroscopy, intraoperative
enteroscopy and, since 2004, DBE.
Previous expert opinion and consensus conferences
had recommended performing a CE first in patients
with OGIB (7, 8). In a series of 162 OGIB patients,
the clinical relevance of findings at prior CE and the
oral access route were found to be associated with
a significantly higher yield of DBE (7). However,
in that study all patients had undergone CE and
there was no possibility to have a “control” group in
which no CE was made, such as in our study. Thus,
our study is important for several reasons. First, it
represents a “real life” clinical scenario. Nonetheless,
the ideal study would consist of a randomization of
patients with OGIB to either CE or DBE. However,
at present time such a study would not be practical.
Second, we showed that the use of CE increases the
diagnostic yield of DBE. And third, the number
of DBEs performed decreased over time. This was
mainly due to less attempts of performing both
oral and anal DBE in one patient. DBE is a time
consuming endeavour and more importantly, the
patient is spared an invasive procedure with potential
complications (9).
There are several studies evaluating the yield of
CE and/or DBE for OGIB (2-4, 7, 10, 11). Used
independently, both tests have good yields for the
diagnosis of OGIB, ranging from 45 to 76% (2-4, 7,
10-13). However, both methods are reported to have
false negatives and positives (10-13). Because DBE
offers several advantages over CE, such as tissue
retrieval, capability to inspect in a to and fro manner,
and to provide endoscopic therapy, some experts
prefer to directly proceed with a DBE in the setting
of OGIB. However, DBE is an invasive procedure,
which can result in complications (9). Complications
can be directly related to the procedure-related (i.e.
perforation and pancreatitis) or due to sedation (i.e.
arrhythmias, hypotension, respiratory failure) (9). In
addition, DBE is a demanding and time-consuming
procedure. Thus, performing an unnecessary
investigation adds a strain on endoscopic human
and material resources. Thus, we believe that DBE
should be used judiciously (Fry APT). Other experts
prefer to start the evaluation of OGIB with a CE (7).
Some data show that patients occult OGIB and mild
anemia with a negative CE have a good prognosis on
follow-up (14, 15). However, attention should be paid
to the patient with persistent or significant anemia,
as both DBE and CE can miss malignant small bowel
tumors (8, 16). In these cases further testing using
CT, angiography or intraoperative enteroscopy is
warranted (17).
In summary, we found that CE increased the
diagnostic yield of DBE in patients being evaluated
for obscure and overt OGIB. The main implication
of our findings is that CE should be performed in all
patients with occult OGIB and considered in patients
with overt OGIB. It remains a matter of debate
whether CE needs to be performed first in patients
with frank bleeding. We believe that DBE will have
the highest yield are those having frank bleeding with
either some hemodynamic compromise or those with
significant fall of the hemoglobin (17). Patients with
recurrent frank bleeding but without hemodynamic
compromise or significant fall in hemoglobin may
benefit from CE first approach. It also makes sense
to always perform CE first in patients with minor
signs of bleeding or occult OGIB.

ABSTRACT
Key words:
inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis,
Crohn’s disease, experimental colitis,
animal model
The experimentally induced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
in animal models must ideally incorporate identical triggering
factors and a parallel to human IBD pathophysiology and clinical
manifestations.
Various animal models of IBD have so far been described and
during the last years genetically manipulated animals are assisting
experimental IBD research. Inducing a relevant to IBD experimental
colitis is the most difficult and critical part of the experimental
study and several methods of bowel injury have been proposed.
Mechanisms of impaired regeneration of the colonic epithelium
and mucosal healing can be studied with these animal models and
significantly contribute to IBD research.
Microscopic studies in animal models aim to assess acute or chronic
inflammation intensity, extend and depth of bowel injury, granuloma
formation and mucosal healing. In addition, several blood and tissue
parameters have been evaluated and improved our understanding of
the altered immune response during colitis attacks.
A great variety of treating protocols have been tested in IBD animal
models. A vast majority of them did not reach clinical practice but
several experimental studies really pioneered our philosophy of
better IBD understanding and treating.

METHODS OF INDUCING
EXPERIMENTAL IBD
alothane and all rules of good clinical practice in
studying animal models should be followed (5).
Animal models for studying intestinal inflammation
can be divided into spontaneous and induced models
(Table 1) (1).
Several methods have been described for inducing
and studying experimental colitis in rats. Overall,
three are the basic methods of administering an
experimental drug in rats: by food, by intracolonic
administration and by intravenous administration.
Intraperitoneal administration can be also used (6).
Table 1. Animal models of intestinal inflammation
(modified from Dieleman LA et al. Scand J Gastroenterol
1997;32:99-104).
Acute colonic injury in animal models can be
induced by intracolonic administration of acetic
acid, by TNBS (Trinitrobenzensulfonic acid)/
ethanol or by feeding with DSS (Dextran sodium
sulphate) in drinking water (Table 2) (7-8). Colonic
epithelial injury is then followed by the rapid influx of
granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages defined
as acute intestinal inflammation. During the acute
phase of these models, pro-inflammatory cytokines,
such as IL-1, TNFa, IL-6, GM-CSF and the murine
chemotactic cytokine MIP are expressed, all of them
mainly produced by monocytes and macrophages.
These cytokines are just as rapidly turned off as the
mucosa heals (9-11).
Table 2. Methods of inducing colitis in rats with
exogenous agents
Crohn himself reviewed porcine ileitis and concluded
that there were similarities with human ileitis
including ulceration, dysplasia, edema, lymphnodes
and granulomata (2). For financial and many other
practical reasons rat models are the mostly preferred
and widely used. The types of animals used for
experimental colitis are usually male SpragueDawley or Wistar or Lewis rats with the first two
being the most preferred. Their usual weight ranges
from 200-350 gr during the experimental period. Rat
organs usually tested during experimental colitis are
bowel, liver, spleen, pancreas, mesenteric vessels and
of course peripheral blood. Other frequently used
rat types for experimental colitis are Charles River
strain male/female or any other possibly available (i.e
Hebrew university strain male) (3-4). Rats used as
enterocolitis models are usually fasted. More rarely
non-fasted or fed at libitum rats are used. Anesthesia
is performed usually in a purpose-built box with
16

The mechanism(s) by which acetic acid produces
inflammation in the rat colon appear to involve
the entry of the lipid soluble form of the acid into
the epithelium, where it dissociates to liberate
protons within the intracellular space. It is this
massive intracellular acidification that most likely
accounts for the epithelial injury observed, because
intraluminal introduction of HCl (pH 2.3) does not
produce injury or inflammation (12).
The mechanism by which TNBS mediates epithelial
cell injury remains undefined; however it was shown
that rat colonocytes are capable of metabolizing
TNBS to produce large quantities of reactive oxygen
metabolites such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide
and hydroxyl radical in vitro (13). Administration of
5% DSS for 5-7 days in drinking water of rodents
induces acute colonic injury and is followed by a
slow colonic regeneration and concomitant chronic
colitis after stopping DSS (14-15).
of quantifying mucosal damage is the measurement
as mm2 of injured bowel/rat. The score is increased by
one mark for each additional cm of involvement (24).
Microscopic evaluation is assessing cellular and
matrix parameters of acute and chronic inflammation,
colonic injury and granuloma formation. The
timing of histological assessment varies but usually
includes the 2h, 6h, 48h, 1st and 2nd week follow up.
More specially, histological evaluation of rat bowel
biopsies consists basically by two criteria assessed
by two observers; mucosal ulceration and depth of
injury. Histological evaluation represents one of the
most difficult and critical parts of the experimental
study and consequently several methods of grading
bowel injury have so far been proposed (22).
There is no ideal animal model for studying IBD. In
practice, useful models should be reproducible, easy
to induce, belong to a widely available animal species,
have a predictable time course of inflammation,
which resembles the clinical course of IBD and
present the inflammatory mediator profile and
therapeutic response as IBD (28-37).
The depth of injury has been proposed to be calculated
as follows: 0=None, 1=only mucosal involvement,
2=mucosal
and
submucosal
involvement,
3=transmural involvement. For these calculation
subcategories a grading system (grade 0-6) also exist

tissue analyses can also be included in this spectrum. THE IDEAL ANIMAL MODEL OF IBD
The ideal animal model should be identical to
human IBD. This is per se extremely difficult, as the
experimentally induced IBD in the animal model
must have the same causal factors and the same
pathology, pathophysiology and clinical spectrum

of inflammation (Table 4) (7).
Regeneration during chronic DSSinduced colitis is one of the best models
for studying colonic healing, since this
process takes several weeks. Mechanisms
of impaired regeneration of the colonic
epithelium can be studied in this model
and would be relevant to IBD research in
mucosal healing.
DSS-induced colitis can also open new
fields of intervention studies with growth
factors such as EGF (Epidermal Growth
Factor), TGF-β (Transforming Growth
Factor) and IGF-I (Insulin-like Growth
Factor) and other mucosal healing
promotors (33).
Although the ideal animal model of
IBD has not yet been found, each model
can independently study pathogenetic
factors such as acute intestinal injury and
healing, acute and chronic inflammation
and regulation by key cytokines.

TREATING AND
RESEARCH PROTOCOLS IN
EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED
COLITIS.
A great variety of treating protocols have
been tested in inflammatory bowel diseased
rats. Many of them have been also evaluated
in clinical practice and some experimentally
tested molecules proved to be of major
therapeutic importance in IBD treating
philosophy (Table 5).
Targeting measurements of several blood
and tissue parameters have been evaluated
for years and are of major importance in
IBD. By those measurements investigators
aim to better understand the altered immune
response during colitis attacks. However, it
seems that although some of them showed
impressive results and clear implications
to human clinical practice they still keep a
restricted value until they can be translated
into terms of prognosis and therapy.
Although experimental animal models
of IBD are clearly not identical to human
IBD we may hope that proper and ethical
experimental animal use might also provoke
our destiny of fighting against chronic
diseases.

Key words:
Colorectal adenomas; Proliferative activity;

UVOD: Adenomi se smatraju „greškom u koracima“ normalne
ćelijske proliferacije i apoptoze. Proliferativna aktivnost ćelija,
izražena markerima Ki-67 i AgNOR-ima, progresivno raste od
normalne sluzokože do adenoma. Cilj rada je procena proliferativne
aktivnosti ćelija, na osnovu AgNOR, kod displastičnih i maligno
alterisanih, kao i žlezdama kolorektalnih karcinoma.
METODE: Na tkivnim uzorcima 80 pacijenata sa maligno alterisanim
kolorektalnim adenomima i kontrolne grupe 10 pacijenata sa
adenokarcinomom kolona primenjena su HE metoda i histohemijsko
bojenje AgNOR-om.
REZULTATI: Prosečan broj AgNOR po jedru pokazao je statistički
značajno veće vrednosti kod maligno alterisanih žlezda u odnosu
na vrednosti kod displastičnih žlezda istovrstnih adenoma. Najveće
vrednosti prosečnih površina AgNOR nađene su u displastičnim
žlezdama teškog stepena tubuloviloznih i viloznih adenoma i oni su
za razliku od tubularnih adenoma pokazali statistički značajnu razliku
u ovim vrednostima prema obližnjim maligno alterisanim žlezdama.

ABSTRACT
Pod uticajem lokalnih, direktnih ili indirektnih
mehanizama, koji obuhvataju intraluminalni
sadržaj, različite hormone gastrointestinalnog trakta
i neurogenih faktora, kolorektum menja brzinu svoje
ćelijske obnove i adaptira se promenjenim uslovima
(hirurški, nutricioni i toksični stimulusi). Veoma
je značajno da je ćelijska proliferacija u crevima
kontrolisana kaloričnim bilansom i uzrastom
čoveka, jer starenjem epitel gastrointestinalnog
trakta ne atrofiše već, naprotiv, proliferiše, što može
stajati u osnovi mnogih polipozno-adenomatoznih
pojava. Interesantno je da perikriptalni fibroblasti
zadržavaju program linije ćelijske diferencijacije (1).
Danas sve više dobija potvrdu, u nizu istraživanja,
teorija adenoma-karcinoma redosled, po kojoj bez
predhodne adenomatozne promene monokriptalnih
ili multikriptalnih delova sluzokože kolona nema
neoplastične alteracije (15-23). Malo je pristalica
teorije da kolorektalni karcinom nastaje primarnom
kancerskom alteracijom sluzokože kolona bez predhodne adenomatozne transformacije (24,25).
Adenomi se smatraju „greškom u koracima“
normalne ćelijske proliferacije i ćelijske smrti
(apoptoze) zbog inicijalne aberacije koja se
dešava u pojedinačnim kriptama. U tom slučaju,
proliferativni proces umesto da se zadrži pri bazi i

se ćelije na njenom vrhu nagomilavaju, preklapaju
i umeću između postojećih kripata, stvarajući
nove kripte koje se cepaju po dužini, nepravilno
pupe i granaju, gradeći splet žlezdanih ili viloznih
struktura (2,3,4,6,9,10,15,26). Praktično, počeci
maligne alteracije kripti idu po principu klonalne
proliferacije i ekspanzije (3,4,6,9,10,15). Nema
sumnje, da na ovu proliferaciju imaju značajan uticaj
subepitelni miofibroblasti, za koje neki smatraju da
potiču iz kostne srži (4). Proliferativnim promenama

su isključeni pacijenti sa porodičnim polipoznim
sindromima. U kontrolnu grupu, uključeno je
još 10 kliničkih slučajeva hirurški odstranjenih
adenokarcinoma kolorektuma. Kolonoskopije su
učinjene u Endoskopskom kabinetu Klinike za
Gastroneterologiju i hepatologiju Kliničkog Centra
Niš, kolonoskopima Olympus CF 20HI i 30HI (Japan).
Antitelo Ki-67 se smatra veoma značajnim markerom
proliferativne aktivnosti ćelija (27). Proliferativna
aktivnost kao izraz displazije adenoma može se
procenjivati i morfometrijskim tehnikama (28).
Mejer i Book (28) smatraju opšte da proliferativna
aktivnost tumora ogleda njihov maligni potencijal, a
da je nuklearna atipija kod adenoma u korelaciji sa
povećanom mitotskom aktivnošću. Oni smatraju da
za gradiranje displazije nije mitotski indeks vodeći i
da su potrebni drugi markeri za to. Još su Risiom i
Rossini (29) zapazili da proliferativna aktivnost ćelija
izražena markerima Ki-67 i AgNOR-ima progresivno
raste redosledom od normalne sluzokože preko
slabostepene do težestepene displazije adenoma (29).
Mikroskopski, preparati su analizirani na svetlosnom
mikroskopu sa digitalnom kamerom Leica DMR
(Leica Micro-Systems, Reuil-Malmaisom, France).
Mikroskopske slike su digitalizovane kamerom
(Leica DC 300) pod ukupnim mikroskopskim
uvećanjem od 1000x, uz upotrebu imerznog ulja, za
analizu preparata bojenih po ICAQ. Digitalne slike
su balansirane za belu boju i sačuvane kao 8-bitni,
nekomprimovani TIFF fajlovi (RGB, 2088x1552
piksela). Sa digitalnih slika, na preparatima
bojenim po ICAQ, izvršena je interaktivna
separacija nukleolarnih organizacionih regiona,
procena njihove brojnosti po jedru, površina
preseka AgNOR, kao i separacija odgovarajućih
jedara u celini, kod kojih je analizirana površina
preseka, kao i stepen njihove elongacije (aspekt).
Za potrebe morfometrijske analize, upotrebljen je
program Olympus MicroImage Software, v. 4.0 for
Windows (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD,
U.S.A). U ovom delu rada, ispitivani materijal je
podeljen na grupe prema različitim histološkim
regionima unutar maligno alterisanih adenoma
i karcinoma operativnog tipa. Naime, svaki od
adenoma tubularnog, tubuloviloznog i viloznog tipa
razmatran je zasebno prema regionima displastično
i maligno alterisanih žlezda i tome je pridodata
grupa žlezda adenokarcinoma sa operativnog
materijala. Iz spomenutih regiona, je uzeto u rad
po pet mikroskopskih polja, sa ukupnim brojem od
500 analiziranih jedara (i unutar njih odgovarajućih
subnuklearnih struktura, tj. AgNOR).
Polipektomisani i biopsirani uzorci su fiksirani u
10% rastvoru formaldehida i dovedeni rutinskim
postupkom obrade do parafinskih kalupa sa kojih
su mikrotomski isečeni tkivni uzorci debljine do
5μm. Posle deparafinisanja preparati su podvrgnuti

U skladu sa gore navedenim, mi smo za cilj ovog rada
postavili procenu proliferativne aktivnosti ćelija,
na osnovu kvantitativnih karakteristika AgNOR,
kod displastičnih i maligno alterisanih žlezda
kolorektalnih adenoma različitih patohistoloških
tipova, kao i žlezdama operativno uklonjenih

deoba može videti na svim nivoima kripte zbog
čega postoji nedovoljna ragularnost diferencijacije
peharastih i apsorptivnih ćelijama na njihovoj
površini (6). Iz tih razloga ćelije posetepeno prelaze
u kancerske što se karakteriše gubitkom njihovog
cilindričnog oblika, zaokrugljivanje i pleomorfizam
jedara, nagomilavanje neoplastičnih ćelija, a često i
kribriformnim izgledom unutar jedne ili više kripata

neinvazivnog karcinoma. Sledeća faza u ovom
adenoma-karcinoma redosledu je invazija lamine

SAŽETAK
Primarni sklerozirajući holangitis (PSC) je hronična, holestatska
bolest jetre koju karkterišu fibroza i inflamatorna destrukcija
intrahepatičnih i/ili ekstrahepatičnih žučnih puteva. Neki pacijenti
mogu biti asimptomatski godinama. Kod drugih se u kratkom
vremenu razvija insuficijencija jetre ili holangiokarcinom. Bolest je
nepoznate etiologije. Pretpostavlja se imunološka priroda bolesti.
2/3 pacijenata sa PSC ima pridruženu neku od inflamatornih bolesti
creva (IBD), dok se PSC javlja kod 7.5% pacijenata sa ulceroznim
kolitisom (UC) i kod 4% pacijenta sa Kronovom bolešću (CD).
Cilj: Proceniti karakteristike UC/CD kod pacijenata sa PSC.
Metodi: U radu su retrospektivno analizirani biohemijski, klinički i
endoskopski nalazi pacijenata sa PSC i IBD.
Rezultati: Analizirano je 411 pacijenta sa IBDom. 262/411 (75%) je
imalo UC. CD bila prisutna kod 149/411 (25%) pacijenata. PSC je
dijagnostikovan kod 16/411 pacijenata (3.9%). U 5 pacijenata PSC se
razvio nakon kolektomije. „Backwash“ ileitis je bio prisutan kod 10/12
pacijenata sa UC dok je rektum bio pošteđen kod 11/12 pacijenta.
Od 4 pacijenta sa CD rektum je bio zahvaćen kod 2 pacijenta.

Zaključak: UC udružen sa PSC se češće javlja kod muškaraca.
Uglavnom ima blag do umeren uz čestu poštedu rektuma i
zahvaćenost terminalnog ileuma. Nema „zajedničke“ terapije za
PSC i IBD. Posebno se leči PSC, a posebno IBD. Međutim, efekat
imunosupresivne terapije na PSC je nezadovoljavajući. Još uvek ne
postoji efikasna medikamentozna terapija koja značajno poboljšava
preživljavanje ovih pacijenata. Transplantacija jetre predstavlja jedinu
terapijsku opciju za pacijente sa uznapredovalom bolešču jetre.
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Our Experience
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic,
cholestatic liver disease. It is characterized by an
inflammation and fibrosis that can affect both the
intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. The disease
leads to irregular bile duct obliteration, including
formation of multifocal bile duct strictures. PSC
is a progressive disorder that eventually develops
into liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatobiliary
malignancy. The etiology is unknown although
there is evidence that the pathogenesis is immune
mediated. Up to 80% of Northen European PSC
patients have concomitant inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD). In the majority of cases it is diagnosed
as ulcerative colitis (UC), although it is also associated
with Crohn’s disease (CD).
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic,
cholestatic liver disease. It is characterized by an
inflammation and fibrosis that can affect both the
intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts (1). The
disease leads to irregular bile duct obliteration,
including formation of multifocal bile duct strictures.
PSC is a progressive disorder that eventually develops
into liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatobiliary
malignancy with the median survival of approximately
17 years of diagnosis (2). The etiology is unknown
although there is evidence that the pathogenesis is
immune mediated (3). It is more common in men,
with the male to female ratio approximately 2:1. PSC
can be diagnosed in children as well as in the elderly,
but mean age at diagnosis is around 40 years. Up to 80%
of Northen European PSC patients have concomitant
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In the majority
of cases it is diagnosed as ulcerative colitis (UC),
although it is also associated with Crohn’s colitis.
However, PSC occurs in 5-10% of total UC and 3-4%
of Crohn’s disease (CD). Diagnosis of PSC is made in
patients with elevated serum markers of cholestasis
when magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography
(MRCP) or endoscopic cholangiopancreatography
(ERCP) show characteristic bile duct changes.
Patients who present with clinical, biochemical, and
histological features compatibile with PSC, but have
normal cholangiogram are classified to have small
duct PSC (4). A previous study looking at PSC/
UC patients suggested a particular UC phenotype
associated with PSC characterized by male
predominance, more quiescent colitis, rectal sparing,
backwash ileitis, increased rates of pouchitis after
colectomy, and higher rates of dysplasia/carcinoma
(5). No such review of Cohn’s/PSC patients has been
undertaken. There is no correlation between the
severity of IBD and PSC. Treatment of colits does
not improve the outcome of PSC which may progress
after colectomy. To date, trials of medical therapy
have proven to be disappointing, with no currently
available agents shown to improve survival. Several
potential treatment options such as corticosteroids,
cyclosporin, methotrexate, colchicine, and tacrolimus
have been evaluated. None of them have been found
to be efficacious (6-11). The hydrophilic bile acid,
ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has been evaluated
for use in PSC. It has been shown that UDCA therapy
improves laboratory values of cholestasis including
Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinical features of inflammatory bowel diseases
associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Methods: 411 patients diagnosed with IBD were
enroled in the study. Clinical, biochemical, and
endoscopical findings were analysed.
Results: 411 patients with inflammatory bowel
diseases were enroled in the study, 230 (56%) males
and 181 (44%) females. 262 patients out of 411 (64%)
were diagnosed as UC and 149 out of 411 (36%) were
diagnosed as CD. PSC was present in 16/411 patients
(3.9%). In 12/16 was associated with UC (75%)
and in 4/16 was associated with CD (25%). Rectal
sparing was present in 11 out of 12 patients with UC,
and in 2 out of 4 patients with CD. Backwash ileitis
was found in 10 patients with UC.
Conclusion: UC associated with PSC is more
common in men. It is usually milde to moderate
with rectal sparing and ileal involvment. Treatment
of PSC associated with IBD is quite complicated.
Management of cholestasis, liver cirrhosis,
biliary complications, and inflammatory bowel
disease should be considered as well as specific
medical therapy and appropriate referral for
liver transplantation. Although previous studies
have showed improvement in biochemistries no
significant improvement in survival has shown. The
only treatment option for these patients that has
shown to be beneficial is liver transplantation.

alkaline phosphatase (ALP), but an improvement
in survival has not been observed (12-14). The only
treatment option that improves long-term prognosis
is liver transplantation, with 10-year survival rate
of 70% after transplantation (15). The aim of this
retrospective study was to evaluate clinical features of
inflammatory bowel diseases associated with primary
sclerosing cholangitis.
METHODS
This retrospective study included 411 patients
diagnosed as IBD who were seen at the Department
of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Zvezdara
University Clinic. The diagnosis of UC and CD
were established on previously accepted criteria. The
diagnosis of PSC was based on typical cholangiographic findings in all patients in combination with
clinical, laboratory, and histological data. In all
patients in whome PSC was suspected ERC or
MRCP were performed. The confluence of the bile
duct at the hilum was used to distinguish between
the extra- or intrahepatic biliary system. In cases of
small duct PSC with normal cholangiography, liver
biopsy was done. When available liver histological
staging was assesed according to criteria prevously
established by Ishak. Patients with small duct PSC
were excluded from this study. Symptoms and sings
including jaundince, itching, right upper abdominal
pain, fatique, cholangitis, fever, weight loss, hepatic
encephalopathy, ascites, and variceal bleeding were
recorded. The presence of ascites was determined by
physical examination and abdominal ultrasound, and
the presence of gastroesophageal varices as well as
bleeding from varices was confirmed by upper endoscopy. Biochemical and serological analyses including
total bilirubin, alkaline phospatase (ALP), aspartate aminotrasferase (AST) and albumin were performed
using standardized techiques. Other liver diseases,
such as alcoholic liver disease, primary biliary cirrhosis,
autoimune hepatitis, metabolic diseases, as well as
viral and drug induced liver diseases were excluded
by clinical evaluation and appropriate serological
tests. The first pathological cholangiography defined
the time of diagnosis of patients with large duct PSC.
In cases of small duct PSC, the first pathological liver
biopsy was chosen for diagnosis.

RESULTS
411 patients with inflammatory bowel diseases were
enroled in the study, 230 (56%) males and 181 (44%)
females. The median age at the time of diagnosis
of PSC was 37.9 (15-51) years, and the median
age at the time of diagnosis of IBD was 30.5 (2156) years. The median age from the first diagnosis
of IBD to the first diagnosis of PSC was 6.6 years.
In 5/16 patients diagnosis were made at the same
time. 262 patients out of 411 (64%) were diagnosed
as UC and 149 out of 411 (36%) were diagnosed as
CD. PSC was present in 16/411 patients (3.9%). In
12/16 was associated with UC (75%) and in 4/16 was
associated with CD (25%). Among 16 patients (6/16)
37.5% had intrahepatic disease, 43.7% (7/16) were
diagnosed with extrahepatic, 18.8% (3/16) with both
extrahepatic and intrahepatic. 83% of patients who
were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis associated with
PSC had extensive colitis, and 17% had distal colitis.
In patients diagnosed with Crohn’s disease ileocolitis
was present. Rectal sparing was present in 11 out of
12 patients with UC, and in 2 out of 4 patients with
CD. Backwash ileitis was found in 10 patients with
UC. UC was classified as mild or moderate in 81%
and severe in 19% of patients. Liver functional tests
(LFT) were abnormal in cholestatic pattern in every
patient who was diagnosed with PSC. 5 out of 16
patients underwent hemi or total colectomy (2 with
CD and 3 with UC) due to the activity of disease or
stenosis in patients with CD and in patients with UC
colectomy was performed beucause of malignant
alteration or fulminant disease. In all of them PSC
developed after colectomy.
DISCUSSION
This retrospective study showed that inflammatory
bowel disease associated with primary sclerosing
cholangitis was characterised by a high prevalence
of pancolitis with rectal sparing and backwash
ileitis. However, the number of patients enroled
in this study was too small to evaluate the risk
for the development of colorectal neoplasia. The
study findings published by Loftus et al. (5) were
suggestive (but not definite) that PSC-IBD patients
were at higher risk for colorectal neoplasia. Most
PSC-IBD patients had extensive colitis, with or
without ileal involvement. The prevalence of isolated
ileal involvement was quite low. The high prevalence
of rectal sparing in PSC-IBD had been reported in
preliminary fashion (16). In many series, this subtype
of IBD was thought to represent indeterminate
colitis (IC) on the basis of either ileal involvement or
rectal sparing. The prevalence of CD reported in the
same series ranged from 0% to 17%, with an average
of 8% (17,18,19-21). Where specified, most of these
patients with ‘‘CD’’ had colonic involvement. Most
of these patients did not appear to have features that
were strongly suggestive of CD, such as fistulas, deep
ulcers, or granulomas. In our study PSC patients
with rectal sparing or mild ileitis were thought to
have UC rather than CD or IC.
PSC patients without bowel symptoms were found to
have not only pancolitis but also low grade dysplasia,
suggesting that the pancolitis was longstanding (23).
Other possible mechanism for the association may
include alterations in the bile salt pool. Indeed,
lower rates of colorectal neoplasia among PSC
patients treated with ursodeoxycholic acid suggests
that bile acids have certain role in the pathogenesis
of CRC (25,26).
PSC patients have 10-fold increased risk of colorectal
cancer compared to the general population, regardless
of the mechanism (27). Therefore it is important to
recognize PSC-IBD patients and such patients should
be enrolled in a colonoscopic surveillance.
Treatment of PSC associated with IBD is quite
complicated. Management of cholestasis, liver
cirrhosis, biliary complications, and inflammatory
bowel disease should be considered as well as specific
medical therapy and appropriate referral for liver
transplantation. Although previous studies showed
improvement in biochemistries no significant
improvement in survival was shown (28,29).
Furthermore, in a study of Lindor et al. (30) patients
with PSC treated with high dose of UDCA had poorer
outcome compared to placebo. Further prospective
studies need to be done to asses the effect of UDCA
on the natural course of PSC. Liver transplantation
remains the treatment of choice in these patients
with 5 year survival of 85% (15). However, PSC may
develop after LT (milder form). In addition, IBD-PSC
patients are at higher risk of colonic carcinoma after
liver transplantation (5.3% compared to 0.6%), and
LT may deteriorate natural course of inflammatory
bowel disease or may provoke development of it. All
Our study findings did not resolve the issue of these issues should be concidered before reffering
whether PSC could be an independent risk factor patient for liver transplantation.
for colorectal neoplasia in IBD. However, previous Given the high frequency of asymptomatic colitis,
meta-analysis showed increased risk for CRC rectal sparing, and colorectal neoplasia among
in patients with PSC. The adjust odds ratio for PSC-IBD patients, all patients with PSC, even
colorectal carcinoma with PSC was 4.79 (95% CI those who are asymptomatic, should undergo full
3.58-6.41) (22). The mechanism by which PSC could colonoscopy with biopsies to detect subclinical IBD
be associated with an increased risk of colorectal and/or neoplasia. Considering the high cumulative
neoplasia in IBD remains unclear. Longstanding incidence of colorectal neoplasia, and short mean
colitis and extent of colitis are well recognized risk interval between PSC diagnosis and development
factors for dysplasia and cancer, and there is a high of neoplasia, PSC-IBD patients should consider
prevalence of pancolitis in PSC-IBD. Disease activity immediate entry into a surveillance colonoscopy

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Plantago ovata (P.ovata) is a plant
that is used as a source of mucilaginous fibers in the
treatment of chronic constipation. The aim of this
study was to evaluate its efficiency in the treatment
of chronic constipation.
sledećih simptoma: tvrda stolica, naprezanje pri
defekaciji, osećaj nepotpune ispražnjenosti, osećaj
analne opstrukcije, primena manuelnih manevara
za olakšanje defekacije, retko crevno pražnjnje (<3
puta nedeljno), gubitak stolice bez upotrebe laksativa
i neispunjavanje kriterijuma za IBS (sindrom iritabilnog creva) (7, 9). Navedene tegobe se moraju javljati
u ≥ 25% defekacija i biti prisutne tokom poslednja
3 meseca sa početkom najmanje 6 meseci pre
postavljanja dijagnoze (9). Simplifikovano, hronična
opstipacija se definiše kao retko (< 3 nedeljno)
crevno pražnjenje i/ili pojava tvrde stolice koja se
teško evakuiše (7, 10, 11).
Methodology: An open, prospective non-randomized, multi-centre study was conducted. The study
included 1864 patients, of whom 1141 (61.2%) were
men and 723 (38.8%) were women. The average
age was 62.4 ± 15.2 years. The indication for use
the P.ovata was the constipation after proctologic
intervention in 63 (3.4%) patients and the chronic Cilj ove studije je procena efikasnosti preparata

crevo, gde se odvija varenje. Ostaci hrane, u tečnom
stanju, dospevaju u kolon. Apsorpcijom vode,
stolica do rektuma postaje formirana. U slučaju
da je iz nekog razloga pasaža sadržaja kroz kolon
usporena (funkcionalni poremećaj, nepravilna
ishrana, usporen tranzit i sl.), doći će do povećanja
apsorpcije vode, čime će se smanjiti volume stolice,
koja postaje konzistentnija, smanjuje se peristaltički
nadržaj, što dovodi do nastanka opstipacije. Lečenje
hronične opstipacije obuhvata primenu higijenskodijetetskih mera i primenu različitih medikamenata,
sa ciljem poboljšanja crevnog pražnjena, a u smislu
prouzrokovanja jedna ili više mekih stolica dnevno
(12, 13). Primena preparata P.ovata je efikasan,
bezbedan i pristupačan način lečenja hronične
opstipacije. (6, 9, 14, 15). Zbog relativne otpornosti
na fermentaciju, P.ovata u nepromenjenom i visoko
polimerizovanom obliku dospeva do cekuma, za 4
sata nakon ingestije (16). Svojim mucilaginoznim
svojstvima vezuje i zadržava vodu iz lumena creva,
čime se poveća volume i zapremina stolice, koja
postaje mekša, čime se olakšava defekacija. Pored
toga, ovi preparati imaju pozitivan uticaj na motilitet
kolona i mehanički čiste crevo (3). Zbog samog
mehanizma delovanja ovi preparati ne dovode do
stvaranja zavisnosti i nemaju nadražajno dejstvo na
mukozu debelog creva. Terapijski efekat preparata
P.ovata se ispoljava za 12-24 h, nakon započinjanja
terapije (2, 13). Zbog mehanizma delovanja, važno
je da pacijenti unose dovoljnu količinu tečnosti (12).
sa ranije objavljenim rezultatima istraživanja (4,
7, 17). Pored toga, mesec, ili dva meseca redovne
primene ovog preparata značajno olakšava crevno
pražnjenje, smanjuje osećaj nepotpunog pražnjenja
i smanjuju bolno pražnjenje.
Ashraf i sar. objavili su rezultate studije u kojoj
je zaključeno da P.ovata povećava učestalost,
zapreminu i obezbeđuje mekšu konzistenciju stolice,
kod pacijenata sa idiopatskom opstipacijom, dok
nema uticaja na motilitet kolona i rektuma (4). U
dvostruko slepoj, randomizovanoj studiji Ewerth
i sar. su pokazali da P.ovata značajno utiče na
razmekšanje stolice, povećavajući njemu zapreminu
i sveukupno smanjujući simptome opstipacije (17).
Međutim, u studiji Cheskin i sar., P.ovata iako
značajno smanjuje tranzitno vreme u odnosu na
placebo, nema uticaja na težinu i konzistenciju
stolice, uz trend porasta učestalosti stolica (5).
Voderholzer i sar. su 1997. u istraživanju na 149
pacijenata, došli do rezultata da 85% pacijenata sa
opstipacijom (bez patološkog supstrata) postaje
asimptomatsko, zahvaljujući primeni P.ovata (6).
Kod 80% pacijenata sa usporenim tranzitom i
63% pacijenata sa poremećajima defekacije, nema
terapijskog odgovora na dijetetska vlakna (6).
U poređenju sa laktulozom i drugim laksativima,
P.ovata je efikasnija u smislu prouzrokovanja većeg
procenta normalnih, dobro formiranih stolica, ali
i manjeg broja neželjenih efekata (dijareja, bolovi
u trbuhu) (15). Wang i sar. su koristeći Bristolsku
U našoj studiji su dobijeni podaci koji govore u klasifikaciju izgleda stolice (18) ustanovili da je
prilog značajnog poboljšanja redovnosti crevnog kombinacija polietilen glikola 3350 i elektrolita
pražnjenja, kao i konzistencije stolice, što je u skladu efikasnija u terapiji funkcionalne opstipacije od

Psylliuma i to u smislu ukupne efikasnosti (92% vs.
73%), broja stolica i normalizacije stolica (87.3% vs.
66.7%) (19). Po pitanju neželjenih efekata, autori nisu
uočili razliku između ova dva leka, niti je bilo ozbiljnijih
komplikacija u primeni ova dva laksansa (18).
Tokom sprovođenja naše studije nisu zabeleženi
neželjeni efekti primene ovog preparata. U literaturi,
kao neželjeni efekti primene P.ovata navode se:
nadimanje, pojačana flatulencija i alergijske reakcije
(12, 20). Nadimanje i pojačana flatulencija se javljaju
zbog fermentacije vlakana u kolonu (12, 13, 21).
Od alergijskih reakcija opisani su: astma, rinitis i
anafilaktička reakcija. Međutim, one se češće javljaju
kod osoba koje su profesionalno izložene Psylliumu
(12, 22, 23). U dva sistematska prikaza se nalaze
podaci koji ukazuju da ne postoji značajna razlika
u neželjenim efektima između pacijenata lečenih
Psyliumom i placebo grupe (14, 24).
Pored primarne primene u terapiji hronične
opstipacije i sindroma iritabilnog kolona, preparati
P.ovata imaju značaja i u terapiji: hemoroida,
hiperlipoproteinemije, dijabetes mellitusa, inflamatorne bolesti creva i dijareje (1-3,25). Ustanovljeno
je da ovi preparati imaju i prebiotski potencijal (26).
Kod zdravih osoba Psylium smanjuje osećaj gladi
i usporava pražnjenje želuca (21,27). Ukoliko se
ovi preparati upotrebe nakon hemoroidektomije,
dovode do bržeg uspostavljanja digestivne funkcije,
smanjenja bola nakon defekacije i skraćenja vremena
postoperativne hospitalizacije (28).

CASE REPORT
A 51-year old female with unremarkable history except for diabetes
mellitus type 2, presented with a 3 week history of odynophagia.
Histamine-receptor blockers induced only partial response.
On gastroscopy, bluish stripes of peeling esophageal mucosa
(pseudomembranes) were seen in the upper and middle esophagus.
The membranous tissue were easily separated from inflamed
esophageal mucosa (A).
When asked, she admitted taking Advil-liquid-gel caplets once daily
(Ibuprofen for headaches) which contain blue gel (B).
The histopathological findings were consistent with esophagitis
dissecans superficialis (“sloughing esophagitis”). No fungi or
excessive eosinophils were found (C, D)(1-3).
The patient was advised to take high dose proton-pump inhibitors.
Two weeks later, the symptoms were resolved.
Esophagitis Dissecans Superficialis is a term applied to a rare
endoscopic finding characterized by sloughing of large fragments of
the esophageal squamous mucosa that may be coughed up or vomited.
Although it has been reported in association with certain medications
and esophageal strictures, most cases remain unexplained and the
histopathologic features are inadequately described (1-4).
The blue pigment from the ingested caplets most likely was absorbed
by the sloughing esophageal mucosa making the blue esophagus
appearance.

CASE REPORT
The threadworm, enterobius (oxyuris) vermicularis, is a nematode
which may inhabit the human terminal ileum, colon and appendix.
Its presence in ectopic sites is uncommon. Oxuyriasis may be present
with atypical symptoms and in rare instances may mimic other
conditions including chronic relapsing diarrhea or constipation,
bowel lymphoma, abdominal mass or inflammation.
Rare cases of oxyuriasis masquerading as other conditions have been
described including a case of generalized intraperitoneal oxyuris
granulomas detected as an incidental finding at laparotomy for
tuboovarian abscess (1).
Another case of a 4-year-old boy with silent oxyuriasis initially
treated for ileo-cecal intusussception and in whom the false diagnosis
of lymphoma with resection of distant segment of small intestine
is described (2). In this child, no clinical and laboratory features
of oxyuriasis could be stated before the onset of disease, during
hospitalization and in the follow-up period. At microscopy the
hypertrophied and activated lymphatic tissue with a non-specific
inflammatory reaction to the pinworms were seen in the wall of ileum,
appendix and mesenteric lymph nodes. No neoplastic cells were found.
We present herein a 56-year-old female with relapsing episodes
of diarrhea and abdominal pain. The patient had granulomatous
terminal ileum appearance at endoscopy (Figure 1) and small bowel
biopsies were compatible with unspecific chronic inflammation of the
terminal ileum. Meticulous patient follow up and a new endoscopy
revealed oxyuriasis and the patient was treated accordingly.

Da li je „ileitis terminalis”
uvek Crohn-ova bolest?
Crohn-ova bolest može da zahvati bilo koji deo digestivne cevi, ali
najčešće je lokalizovana u terminalnom ileumu. Ova lokalizacija
je toliko tipična da u svesti svakog gastroenterologa praktično
predstavlja i prvu i jedinu dijagnozu na koju pomisli kada se susretne
sa pacijentom koji ima promene na terminalnom ileumu. Međutim,
erozije i ulceracije na terminalnom ileumu mogu da nastanu i kao
rezultat nekritične upotrebe nesteroidnih anti-inflamatornih lekova
(NSAIL), limfoidne hiperplazije, limfoma, radijacionog enteritisa,
infekcija (parazitarnih – npr. Oxiuris vermicularis i bakterisjkih
– npr. Yersinia enterocolitica, Campilobacter sp, Mycobacterium
tuberculosis), ulceroznog kolitisa, karcinoida, amiloidoze,
eozinofilnog gastroenteritisa, i mnogih drugih (1). Intubacija
i biopsija terminalnog ileuma tokom kolonoskopije je danas
standardna procedura u dijagnostici i praćenju efekta terapije kod
pacijenata sa sumnjivom ili potvrđenom Crohn-ovom bolešću.
U nedavno objavljenoj studiji (2) u kojoj je rađena rutinska
kolonoskopija sa ileoskopijom kod 3921 pacijenta, 125 pacijenata je
imalo makroskopske promene na terminalnom ileumu uključujući
afte, ulceracije, nodularnu ili hiperemičnu mukozu i polipoidne lezije.
U 91% ovih pacijenata su viđene nespecifične histološke promene,
tipa nespecifične inflamacije, limfoidne hiperplazije i oštećenja
mukoze niskog stepena, koje nisu smatrane klinički značajnim.
Ovi pacijenti su potom praćeni mesec dana i nijedan od njih nije
imao rekurentne simptome. U preostalih 9% pacijenata bilo je 7 sa
Crohn-ovom bolešću, 3 sa tuberkulozom terminalnog ieluma i 1 sa
Behcetovom bolešću. (2)

S druge strane, treba imati na umu da mukoza
terminalnog ileuma koja potpuno normalno
makroskopski izgleda može da pokaže značajne
promene u histološkom nalazu. Ovde je upravo mesto
da se naglas postavi pitanje: zašto bi neko uopšte i
radio biopsiju makroskopski neizmenjene sluznice
terminalnog ileuma? Na ovo pitanje su nam odgovorili
Cherian i saradnici (3) koji su hteli da provere da li
je rutinska ileoskopija korisna? Oni su uradili 2537
kolonoskopija sa ileoskopijom i biopsijama, i utvrdili
da su time povećali dijagnostičku tačnost za 19 % kod
pacijenata sa inflamatornim bolestima creva i za 8 %
kod ostalih pacijenata. U tih 8% pacijenata histološki
nalaz naizgled normalnog terminalnog ileuma je
potvrdio oštećenja usled NSAIL, primarnu ilealnu
atrofiju, ilealnu tuberkulozu i amiloidozu. Srednje
vreme koje je bilo potrebno iskusnom endoskopisti
da se iz cekuma uđe u terminalnu ileum je bilo oko 3
minuta (3).
u odsustvu jasnih dokaza, može biti štetna po
pacijenta, obzirom da takav pacijent neće dobro
odreagovati na datu terapiju, a može biti pogrešno
upućen i na hiruršku proceduru zbog nereagovanja
na „adekvatnu“ terapiju.
Ne mogu se oteti utisku da jednolik pojavni oblik
terminalnog ileitisa sa raznolikim uzrocima njegovog

SAŽETAK
Ahalazija je primarni motorni poremećaj jednjaka koji uzrokuje
otežano gutanje, a karakteriše ga odsustvo relaksacije donjeg
sfinktera uz poremećaj peristaltičke aktivnosti tela jednjaka. U radu
razmatramo etiologiju i patogenezu oboljenja, standard dijagnostike
i raspoložive terapijske opcije.

DEFINICIJA
Ahalazija je primarni motorni poremećaj jednjaka koji uzrokuje
otežano gutanje, a karakteriše ga odsustvo relaksacije donjeg sfinktera
uz poremećaj peristaltičke aktivnosti tela jednjaka (1).

Sprovedenom meta analizom, Campos i saradnici
su zaključili da nema značajne razlike u uspešnosti
smanjenja intenziteta simptoma ahalazije kod
pacijenata podvrgnutih prostoj miotomiji (89.9%)
i miotomiji sa udruženom antirefluksnom
procedurom (90.3%). Incidenca postoperativne
pojave gastroezofagealnog refluksa značajno je veća
kad se operacija radi bez antirefluksne procedure
(31.5%) nego kada se pored miotomije radi i
fundoplikacija (8.8%)(14).
incidenca pojave gastroezofagealnog refluksa znatno
niža i iznosi 14.9% (14).
