Crohn Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
From January 2020 to January 2025, Crohn's disease (CD) patients and gender- and age-matched normal controls were collected from the Department of Gastroenterology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. The aim of this research is to explore the associations of microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) gene polymorphisms with the risk and clinicopathological characteristics of CD, and to analyze the effects of miRNAs gene variantions on the clinical response of ustekinumab (UST) treatment in CD patients at week 8.
Detailed description
From January 2020 to January 2025, a total of 312 CD patients and 527 gender- and age-matched normal controls were collected from the Department of Gastroenterology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.The genotypes of miRNAs were determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction technique. Unconditional logistic regression was employed to analyze the distribution of miRNAs gene polymorphisms between CD group and normal control group, as well as their influences on the clinicopathological characteristics of CD patients. Unconditional logistic regression model was used to explore the effect of miRNAs gene variation on the clinical response of CD patients in the treatment of UST at week 8.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALUstekinumab - Standard Dosage
Some CD patients received sufficient UST (6 mg/kg) intravenous infusion at week 0, followed by one subcutaneous dose of 90 mg UST at week 8.Maintenance therapy consisted of 90 mg subcutaneous UST every 8 or 12 weeks.
