Abstract:
Ulcerative colitis (UC) has been listed as one of the refractory diseases of modern society by the World Health Organization. Our previous studies found that Turkish galls Gallotannins (TGTs) have a significant effect on anti-UC. Here, TGTs were extracted using a simple method and TGTs-FeIII microcapsules were prepared by a self-assembly technique. Microcapsules were characterized by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, and so forth. The results verified that hollow spheres of TGTs-FeIII microcapsules were successfully prepared. It is interesting that microcapsules were more likely to accumulate on the inflammatory surface from ex vivo and in vivo adhesion experiments, and effectively alleviate UC symptoms. This study will provide valuable insight into the development of safe and efficient drug delivery system platforms for further biomedical usages.

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...
