To identify pathogenic bacterial biofilms in UC-patients with and without neoplasia in tandem with host factors such as barrier defects and carcinogenic pathway activation in a prospective cohort study.
Primary Objective: Identification of rare variants in candidate genes and regulatory elements in pediatric IBD patients. Secondary Objective(s): To determine the functional consequences of identified genetic variants in IBD, we will correlate…
The primary aim of the current proposal is to get a better understanding of how CeD risk genes contribute to disease aetiology. To achieve this, we will apply a holistic approach in which we will study the behaviour of immune cells and the…
To investigate associations between IBD severity, ASCA titer, microbiota composition and C. albicans strains present in feces.
The primary objective is to assess environmental, hygiene-related risk factors for MC. Secondary objectives are the difference between the CC and LC subpopulation regarding hygiene-related risk factors, living area as potential risk factor and the…
The aim of this pilot study is to assess whether the cerebral metabolic changes in RA patients, are also present in CD patients with active disease and fatigue. The influence of chronic inflammation on cerebral metabolism in CD patients will be…
Aim of the present study is to characterize esophageal epithelial damage in NERD, EE and healthy controls by analysis of epithelial integrity, immunohistochemical markers of epithelial damage and histological changes of esophageal epithelium.
To ex vivo assess the difference in effect of administration of NSAIDs, PPISs and SSRIs on the paracellular permeability of colon biopsies (i.e. change in trans-epithelial electrical resistance) between active, remission and non-MC patients, using…
This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of global coagulation parameters in patients with ASC both in hospital and up to 12 weeks after discharge. The results will help define the period at risk for VTE and inform the rationale for…
Primary: To demonstrate that a liquid Neocate product (elemental nutrition) study decreased esophageal eosinophil count to less than 15 eosinophils per high-power field in adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.Secondary: To study the effect…
To show that in eosinophilic oesophagitis gastro-oesophageal reflux-induced epithelial barrier dysfunction facilitates passage of food-antigens through the epithelial barrier and subsequent increased exposure of antigens by dendritic cells activates…
The aim of our project is in-depth characterization of the microbiota components both adjacent to and within the mucosa in patients with IBD, by applying novel high-throughput analysis technology in a global description strategy approach.…
Setup method for detection of STAT3 phosphorylation in human blood derived from patients with various chronic inflammatory diseases.Test the effect of new compounds on this phosphorylation process.
Primary: We hypothesize that in eosinophilic esophagitis gastro-esophageal reflux-induced epithelial barrier dysfunction facilitates passage of food-antigens through the epithelial barrier and subsequent increased exposure of antigens by dendritic…
1) To identify chromosomal regions associated with the EoE-phenotype in a family with multiple affected family members. Subsequently these regions will be sequenced to detect causative gene(s).2) To describe the clinical characteristics of EoE-…
Hypothetically, in patients with PBC or PSC the FGF-19 production or -response could be altered. The goal of this research is to study the FGF19 production after a standardized oral fat challenge and the effect of this FGF19 production on bile acid…
Systematic gathering of biomaterial and phenotypic data of IBD patients during clinical care provides assessment of molecular markers in the DNA, the transcriptome and proteome. The markers can be associated with the different disease phenotypes and…
The aim of this study is twofold:1. To investigate the mechanism by which the immunological response is disturbed in patients with and without mutations in the NOD2/CARD15 gene. This will provide a better insight in the downstream effects of these…
To demonstrate and compare expression of CCL25 and CCR9+ lymphocytes in peripheral blood and colon of PSC-, PSC/IBD-, IBD-, gastroenteritis patients and controls.
The present study aims to investigate genetic factors that contribute to the development of BE.
