Abstract:
Ulcerative colitis is a kind of nontransmural chronic inflammatory bowel disease which mainly affects colon and rectum, it has a classic character of the relapsing and remitting course. The main symptoms of ulcerative colitis are intermittent bloody diarrhea, rectal urgency, and tenesmus. As a chronic disease, it can disable and disrupt the daily life of patients. The main treatments for ulcerative colitis are medical management and surgical management, but the drugs used by traditional way have many severe side effects and invalid for refractory ulcerative, and traditional surgery has many complications, so we propose a new treatment of ulcerative colitis, which is the combination of drugs and a little surgery-appendectomy: injecting drugs by a tube from appendix stump to colon after appendectomy by laparoscope, this treatment can decrease the side effects of oral drugs and increase the drug levels as topical managements. Our hypotheses might be an effect way to deal with refractory ulcerative colitis especially total or upper ulcerative colitis, and it is a treatment with little wound and few complications.

Drugs for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis in IBD
Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...
Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
The IV route is often...

It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...
Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
