Blood Lipid Levels and Their Value as Markers of Disease Activity in Severe Ulcerative Colitis by Zhu L, Tian L, Li S, Huo L

“…Patients with severe versus non-severe UC had decreased TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C levels (P< 0.05). The combined detection of TC level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) predicted a working characteristic receiver operating characteristic curve area of 0.768 (0.694– 0.841) in patients with severe UC, which had good early predictive value with a sensitivity of 77.0% and specificity of 66.7%.Conclusion: TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C levels were decreased in patients with severe UC. …”

Characterization of a New Immunosuppressive and Antimicrobial Peptide, DRS-DA2, Isolated from the Mexican Frog, Pachymedusa dacnicolor by Claire Lacombe, Estefania Aleman-Navaro, Thierry Drujon, Veronica Martinez-Osorio, Emmanuelle Sachon, Erika Melchy-Pérez, Ludovic Carlier, Lorena Elizabeth Fajardo Brigido, Yannick Fleury, Christophe Piesse, Guadalupe Gutiérrez-Escobedo, Alejandro De las Peñas, Irene Castaño, Florie Desriac, Jose Luis Beristain-Hernandez, Christophe Combadiere, Yvonne Rosenstein, Constance Auvynet

“…After the induction of peritonitis, a local injection of DRS-DA2N could decrease the number of inflammatory cells locally in the peritoneal cavity without inducing a systemic effect, as no changes in the number of inflammatory cells could be detected in blood or in the bone marrow. Collectively, these data suggest that this peptide could be a promising tool in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory skin diseases, as it could reduce the number of inflammatory cells locally without suppressing the ability to combat infections.…”
