What is inflammatory bowel disease?



Ulcerative colitis, short for chronic non-specific ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic inflammatory disease of the rectum and colon of unknown cause.



Main clinical manifestationsforabdominal pain,Diarrhea, mucus, pus and bloody stools, and tenesmus. The severity of the disease varies, and the symptoms often recur or persist for a long time. It is a chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory disease characterized by continuous and diffuse inflammatory changes in the colorectal mucosa.

To highlight, the first one is "Unknown cause", that is to say,Any cause that can be found is not ulcerative colitis, for example, although chronic bacterial dysentery is also a chronic inflammation of the colon, it is caused by Shigella dysenteriae infection and is not ulcerative colitis... Although its cause is not yet clear, it is generally believed that the onset is related to multiple factors such as immunity, genetics, environment and intestinal infection.


The second important point is "colon”,The scope of ulcerative colitis is limited to the colorectum and rarely affects parts above the colon., such as: esophagus, stomach, duodenum and small intestine. Very few patients may have involvement in the terminal small intestine connected to the colon.


The last important point is "chronic inflammatory disease”,The long course of the disease, repeated attacks, and protracted recovery have a huge impact on the patient's social functions and quality of life.

Now that we have some understanding of the inflammatory bowel, let’s look at the case of ulcerative colitis

personal information

Patient: Wang

Gender: Male

Age: 70

Diagnosis: Ulcerative colitis

Case introduction
In 2004, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in the hospital. Since then, he has tried a variety of conventional treatments. In addition to oral mesalazine and probiotics, he also used hormone therapy, but symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools still could not be effectively controlled. Moreover, hormone therapy has severe side effects and is extremely painful.

During this period, by strengthening physical exercise and paying attention to diet, the condition was relieved for a time.

But after the National Day in 2019, his condition worsened again, and he went to the bathroom several times a day. The long-term pain caused him to feel depressed every day.

In October 2019, accompanied by her children, she rushed to the Eighth Hospital of Baotou City to seek medical treatment.





Before transplantation



      


After routine colonoscopy, the intestinal mucosal blood vessel texture was blurred, congestion, edema, erosion, and contact bleeding; he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (active stage)

"For a patient who has suffered from ulcerative colitis for more than ten years, the improvement is beyond imagination"

There is no blood in bowel movements now, and the frequency of bowel movements has increased from more than 10 times a day to 8, 6, 4, 3, 2...

After he recovered, his face was full of joy and joy.


Precision Microbiota Transplantation
In China, microbiota transplantation has been used to treat diseases for more than 1,700 years. In 300-400 AD, Chinese medicine practitioner Ge Hong described in detail the use of fecal suspensions to treat serious illnesses such as food poisoning and severe diarrhea in his book "Emergency Prescriptions". In recent years, microbiota transplantation has been used in the treatment of more than 30 diseases at home and abroad.

Precision Microbiota Transplantation(Precision Microbiota Transplantation, PMT) refers to passing the gut microbiota of healthy donors through an intelligent intestinal bacteria processing systemMade into suspension or capsule, adoptDonor-receptor matchingThe technology selects the optimal donor flora, transplants it into the patient's intestines, and rebuilds the normal functional gut microbiota to achieve the treatment of intestinal and extraintestinal diseases.


TreatGut defines Precision Microbiota Transplantation from the following aspects,

Leading the microbiota transplantation industry towards the 3.0 era.
