[Integrated strategy based on microecological therapy in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease]

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic, recurrent, and inflammatory intestinal diseases. At present, it is believed that the destruction of intestinal homeostasis may be the cause of the onset and progression of IBD. Under normal circumstances, the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis depends on the balance among the intestinal microbes, the intestinal mucosal barrier, and the immune system. Accordingly, the treatment strategy for IBD must take into account micro-ecological reconstruction, immune regulation and intestinal barrier function recovery. Because different patients have different responses to incentives, different treatments, or those at different stages of the disease course show different disease behaviors, multidisciplinary collaboration seems quite necessary. This article aims to introduce a five-in-one integrated treatment strategy, including microecological treatment, immunotherapy, enteral nutrition, interventional therapy, and surgical treatment.
