EVOLUTION OF VIEWS ON THE PATHOGENESIS OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Abstract:
Based on the literature overview and summarizing of practical experience we provides a current review of data regarding the epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis of IBD. In this review authors focuse their attention on different links of the immune system, including the components of the innate immune system (macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, dendritic cells), adaptive or acquired immunity (T and B cells), secreted mediators (cytokines and chemokines), as well as the cells of the intestinal epithelium and congenital limphoid cells, because according to modern concepts, elements of this system are the key factors of understanding the pathogenesis of IBD.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
