چکیده
BACKGROUND Guidelines mandate screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) prior to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, many are already on immunosuppressive therapy (IST) that may affect the precision of the Tuberculin skin test (TST). Our aim was to assess the performance of the new interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) to detect LTBI in patients with IBD. METHODS MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched (up to June 2011) to identify studies evaluating the performance of IGRAs (QuantiFERON-TB Gold [QFT-2G], QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube [QFT-3G] and T-SPOT.TB) in individuals with IBD. Forest plots and pooled estimates using random effects models were created where applicable. RESULTS Nine unique studies encompassing 1309 patients with IBD were included for analysis. The pooled concordance between the TST and QFT-2G/QFT-3G was 85% (95% confidence interval [CI] 77%-90%). The concordance of the TST and TSPOT.TB was 72% (95% CI 64%-78%). Studies assessing agreement reported more IGRA-/TST+ results versus IGRA+/TST- results. The pooled percentage of indeterminate results was 5% (95% CI 2%-9%) for QFT-2G/QFT-3G. TSPOT.TB showed similar results. Both positive QFT-2G/QFT-3G results (pooled odds ratio [OR] 0.37, 95% CI 0.16-0.87) and positive TST results (pooled OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.10-0.80) were significantly influenced by IST (both P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS While it remains difficult to determine superiority between the IGRAs and the TST, both are negatively affected by IST. Therefore, screening prior to initiation of IST should be considered. Nevertheless, it is imperative that all patients receive screening prior to anti-TNF therapy.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between advanced glycation end products ceceptor (RAGE) gene polymorphisms and the risk of inflammatory bowel disease
Background: In the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE) has been involved. IBD is classified into Chron’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The promoter gene of the RAGE gene was discovered to have had unique polymorphisms that increased its transcriptional activity. This study, therefore, used a systematic review and meta-...
