Abstract
The management of perianal Crohn's disease is challenging and complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach as a favorable working relationship between gastroenterologists and colorectal surgeons is necessary to provide excellent care for this patient population. The use of biologic therapy has impacted the treatment of this disease process, but surgical options have failed to reach the success rates seen in cryptoglandular and traumatic pathologies of the anus. The general management of perianal disease involves control of sepsis, control of anorectal symptoms, minimizing resultant complications and avoidance of proctectomy when possible.

Optimizing Treatment Outcomes in Crohn's Disease: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Regenerative Therapies with Emphasis on Platelet-Rich Plasma. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:1519. [PMID: 39598430 PMCID: PMC11597121 DOI: 10.3390/ph17111519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2024] [Revised: 10/19/2024] [Accepted: 10/26/2024] [Indexed: 11/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that significantly affects patients' quality of life; conventional treatments often provide limited relief. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis explored the potential of regenerative therapies, particularly platelet-rich plasma (PRP), as an adjunctive treatment for CD. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024576683), and a comprehensive search was conducted across major databases, such as PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The search included terms related to CD and PRP. Studies assessing the efficacy of PRP in CD treatment were selected. Statistical analysis was conducted using the PICO framework with R software (version 4.3.2) and meta-package. RESULTS Of the 29 studies identified, 10 met the inclusion criteria, comprising pilot studies and controlled trials. Nine studies focused on Crohn's disease perianal fistulas (CDPF), and one focused on colonic CD. Among 138 patients with CDPF, 82.44% showed some fistula healing after PRP treatment, with 48.05% achieving complete resolution. In a sub-analysis, combining PRP with a stromal vascular fraction (SVF) resulted in a 58.62% complete healing rate, whereas combining PRP with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) showed even higher efficacy at 85.89%. PRP treatment alone resulted in a lower complete healing rate of 38.51%. PRP was well tolerated, with minor side effects such as localized pain. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that PRP, especially when combined with stem cells, offers a promising new approach for treating CD. However, larger trials are needed to confirm its long-term benefits and refine its clinical applications.

Abstract
AIM The heterogeneity in data quality presented in studies regarding Crohn's anal fistula (CAF) limit extrapolation into clinical practice. The ENiGMA collaborators established a core descriptor set to standardize reporting of CAF. The aim of this work was to quantify the use of these descriptors in recent literature. METHOD We completed a systematic review of PubMed and the Cochrane Library, extracting publications from the past 10 years specific to the clinical interventions and outcomes of CAF, and reported in line with PRISMA guidance. Each article was assessed for inclusion of ENiGMA descriptors. The median number of descriptors per publication was evaluated along with the overall frequency of each individual descriptor. Use of ENiGMA descriptors was compared between medical and procedural publications. RESULTS Ninety publications were included. The median number of descriptors was 15 of 37; 16 descriptors were used in over half of the publications while 17 were used in fewer than a third. Descriptors were more frequently used in procedural (n = 16) than medical publications (n = 14) (p = 0.031). In procedural publications, eight descriptors were more frequently used including Faecal incontinence, Number of previous fistula interventions, Presence and severity of anorectal stenosis and Current proctitis. Medical publications were more likely to include Previous response to biological therapy and Duration and type of current course of biological therapy. CONCLUSION With many descriptors being used infrequently and variations between medical and procedural literature, the colorectal community should assess the need for all 37 descriptors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric staple line leak treatment after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) remains challenging. Regenerative medicine is gaining place in the accelerated treatment of damaged tissues. This study presents the first series of gastric leak treatment after LSG using endoscopic intragastric administration of combined autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). METHODS MSC-PRP harvesting and endoscopic administration techniques are described in detail. Data were prospectively gathered and analyzed. Primary endpoints were morbidity/mortality rates and fistula closure time. RESULTS Twelve patients (9 women, 3 men) were included. Median age was 41.5 years, median weight 105.5 kg and median BMI 38.9 kg/m2. Median time to gastric staple line leak detection was 10 days post-LSG. Median time between re-laparoscopy and MSC-PRP administration was 5 days. MSC-PRP endoscopic administration was successfully performed and tolerated by all patients, with median procedure duration of 27 min and minimal blood loss. Four postoperative complications were noted: two patients with increased tibial pain at tibial puncture site, one with tibial hematoma, and one with epigastric pain/dysphagia. Median length of hospital stay was 1 day. Gastric leak healing occurred after a median of 14 days, only two patients requiring a second MSC-PRP endoscopic injection. Median follow-up was 19 months, all patients being in good health at last contact. CONCLUSION Endoscopic administration of combined autologous MSC-PRP seems to be a good option for treatment of gastric leaks after sleeve gastrectomy. It is a challenging procedure that should be performed in specialized bariatric centers by expert bariatric surgeons and endoscopists after meticulous patient selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease poses a treatment challenge, and researchers postulate that this phenotype in young male patients could have a worst outcome. OBJECTIVE Thus, the aim of this study was to assess whether sex influences the response to treatment for these patients. METHODS This systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42022319629) was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol. We selected articles published in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian between 2010 and 2020 in the PubMed and Science Direct databases. According to the PICO acronym, prospective studies in patients older than 18 years with the objective of treating fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease were selected. Studies in pediatric populations, retrospective, without treatment objectives, and that included only rectovaginal fistulas or a single sex were excluded. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS Of the 1887 articles found, 33 were included. Most studies used anti-TNF drugs as treatment (n=11). Ten studies had subgroup analyses; of them, the two studies reporting sex differences used infliximab and adalimumab as treatment and showed that women had a longer fistula closure time than men. CONCLUSION This systematic review showed that few data corroborate the difference between sexes in the treatment of fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease, possibly having a greater relationship with the phenotype. However, considering the lack of results, further studies with this objective and with standardization of fistulas and response assessment methods are needed.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Repeated inflammation can lead to complications, such as intestinal fistula, obstruction, perforation, and bleeding. Unfortunately, achieving durable remission and mucosal healing (MH) with current treatments is difficult. Stem cells (SCs) have the potential to modulate immunity, suppress inflammation, and have anti-apoptotic and pro-angiogenic effects, making them an ideal therapeutic strategy to target chronic inflammation and intestinal damage in IBD. In recent years, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown efficacy in treating IBD. In addition, numerous clinical trials have evaluated the efficiency of MSCs in treating the disease. This review summarizes the current research progress on the safety and efficacy of SC-based therapy for IBD in both preclinical models and clinical trials. We discuss potential mechanisms of SC therapy, including tissue repair, paracrine effects, and the promotion of angiogenesis, immune regulation, and anti-inflammatory effects. We also summarize current SC engineering strategies aimed at enhancing the immunosuppressive and regenerative capabilities of SCs for treating intestinal diseases. Additionally, we highlight current limitations and future perspectives of SC-related therapy for IBD.

Abstract
Detrusor hypocontractility (DH) is a disease without a gold standard treatment in traditional medicine. Therefore, there is a need to develop innovative therapies. The present report presents the case of a patient with DH who was transplanted with 2 x 106 adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells twice and achieved significant improvements in their quality of life. The results showed that cell therapy reduced the voiding residue from 1,800 mL to 800 mL, the maximum cystometric capacity from 800 to 550 mL, and bladder compliance from 77 to 36.6 mL/cmH2O. Cell therapy also increased the maximum flow from 3 to 11 mL/s, the detrusor pressure from 08 to 35 cmH2O, the urine volume from 267 to 524 mL and the bladder contractility index (BCI) value from 23 to 90. The International Continence on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form score decreased from 17 to 8. Given the above, it is inferred that the transplantation of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells is an innovative and efficient therapeutic strategy for DH treatment and improves the quality of life of patients affected by this disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, inflammatory condition that involves the intestinal tract, and can also present with extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM). Choosing the right treatment for IBD is often nuanced and decisions can become even more complicated when a patient presents with or develops a complication of the disease. AREAS COVERED We aimed to provide an overview of the most common complications of IBD, specifically intestinal and EIM, and summarize the data regarding biologic therapy for treatment of these conditions. A comprehensive literature review was performed using PubMed and Medline databases to identify studies published in the English language relevant to the broad scope of this review. EXPERT OPINION There are still significant gaps in our understanding of the pathophysiology of IBD and its treatment, especially in regards to complications of the disease. As novel therapies continue to emerge for treatment of IBD, we feel concurrent examination of their impact on intestinal complications and EIM of IBD is important and should be a priority of future research.

Abstract
Despite current management strategies, digestive fistulae remain extremely debilitating complications associated with significant morbidity and mortality, generating a need to develop innovative therapies in these indications. A number of clinical trials and experimental studies have thus investigated the potential of stem/stromal cells (SCs) or SC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) administration for post-surgical and Crohn's-associated fistulae. This review summarizes the physiopathology and current standards-of-care for digestive fistulae, along with relevant evidence from animal and clinical studies regarding SC or EV treatment for post-surgical digestive fistulae. Additionally, existing preclinical models of fistulizing Crohn's disease and results of SC therapy trials in this indication will be presented. The optimal formulation and administration protocol of SC therapy products for gastrointestinal fistula treatment and the challenges for a widespread use of darvadstrocel (Alofisel) in clinical practice will be discussed. Finally, the potential advantages of EV therapy and the obstacles towards their clinical translation will be introduced.

Efficacy and safety of autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction enriched with platelet-rich plasma in flap repair of transsphincteric cryptoglandular fistulas. Tech Coloproctol 2021; 25:1301-1309. [PMID: 34606026 PMCID: PMC8580893 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-021-02524-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Background Transanal advancement flap repair of transsphincteric fistulas is a sphincter-preserving procedure, which frequently fails, probably due to ongoing inflammation in the remaining fistula tract. Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has immunomodulatory properties promoting wound healing and suppressing inflammation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) reinforces this biological effect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous adipose-derived SVF enriched with PRP in flap repair of transsphincteric cryptoglandular fistulas. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted including consecutive patients with transsphincteric cryptoglandular fistula in a tertiary referral center. During flap repair, SVF was obtained by lipoharvesting and mechanical fractionation of adipose tissue and combined with PRP was injected around the internal opening and into the fistulous wall. Endpoints were fistula healing at clinical examination and fistula closure on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Adverse events were documented. Results Forty-five patients with transsphincteric cryptoglandular fistula were included (29 males, median age 44 years [range 36–53 years]). In the total study population, primary fistula healing was observed in 38 patients (84%). Among the 42 patients with intestinal continuity at time of surgery, primary fistula healing was observed in 35 patients (84%). In one patient, the fistula recurred, resulting in a long-term healing rate of 82%. MRI, performed in 37 patients, revealed complete closure of the fistula tract in 33 (89.2%). In the other patients, the tract was almost completely obliterated by scar tissue. During follow-up, none of these patients showed clinical signs of recurrence. The postoperative course was uneventful, except for three cases; venous thromboembolism in one patient and bleeding under the flap, necessitating intervention in two patients. Conclusions Addition of autologous SVF enriched with PRP during flap repair is feasible, safe and might improve outcomes in patients with a transsphincteric cryptoglandular fistula.

Abstract
Wound healing and tissue regeneration are a field of clinical medicine presenting high research interest, since various local and systematic factors can inhibit these processes and lead to an inferior result. New methods of healing enhancement constantly arise, which, however, require experimental validation before their establishment in everyday practice. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a well-known autologous factor that promotes tissue healing in various surgical defects. PRP derives from the centrifugation of peripheral blood and has a high concentration of growth factors that promote healing. Recently, the use of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) has been thoroughly investigated as a form of wound healing enhancement. ADMSCs are autologous stem cells deriving from fat tissue, with a capability of differentiation in specific cells, depending on the micro-environment that they are exposed to. The aim of the present comprehensive review is to record the experimental studies that have been published and investigate the synergistic use of PRP and ADMSC in animal models. The technical aspects of experimentations, as well as the major results of each study, are discussed. In addition, the limited clinical studies including humans are also reported. Future perspectives are discussed, along with the limitations of current studies on the long-term follow up needed on efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease can manifest in many extraintestinal organ systems. The most frequently involved extraintestinal locations include the mucocutaneous, hepatobiliary, and ocular organ systems. The respiratory tract is less commonly involved and is therefore frequently overlooked. Consequently, it is believed that involvement of the respiratory tract in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is underreported. The pathogenesis is thought to be multifactorial, involving the common embryologic origin shared by the respiratory and luminal digestive tract, molecular mimicry, and immunologic interactions leading to immune-complex deposition in affected tissue. The spectrum of manifestations of the respiratory tract related to inflammatory bowel disease is broad. It not only includes direct involvement of the respiratory tract (ie, airways, interstitium, and pleura) but also can result as a consequence of systemic involvement such as in thromboembolic events. In addition, it may also be related to other conditions that affect the respiratory tract such as sarcoidosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Though some conditions related to respiratory tract involvement might be subclinical, others may have life-threatening consequences. It is critical to approach patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease-related respiratory tract involvement in concert with pulmonology, infectious diseases, and any other pertinent experts, as treatments may require a multidisciplinary overlap of measures. Therefore, it is of paramount importance for the clinician to be aware of the array of respiratory tract manifestations of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, in addition to the possible spectrum of therapeutic measures.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gut that can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms, malnutrition, and complications such as fistulas and cancer. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are being investigated as a novel therapy for IBD and have been demonstrated to be safe and effective for perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease (PFCD). This systematic review aims to present the most recent studies on the safety and efficacy of MSC therapy in IBD. A detailed search strategy of clinical trials on MSCs and IBD was performed on PubMed, with 32 studies selected for inclusion in this review. The newest studies on local MSC injection for PFCD continue to support long-term efficacy while maintaining a favorable safety profile. The evidence for systemic MSC infusion in luminal IBD remains mixed due to marked methodological heterogeneity and unclear safety profiles. Although further studies are needed to better establish the role of this novel treatment modality, MSCs are proving to be a very exciting addition to the limited therapies available for IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fistulas have puzzled us all the time and stem cell therapy for it is still in its infancy. We conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the efficacy of stem cells and its potential mechanisms in the management of Crohn's fistula. METHODS Electronic databases were searched comprehensively for studies reporting the efficacy and safety of stem cells in patients with any form of Crohn's fistula. A random-effects model was used, and all outcomes were calculated by SPSS 24.0. RESULTS Twenty-nine articles with 1252 patients were included. It showed that stem cell group had a higher rate of fistula healing compared to placebo group in patients of Crohn's fistula (61.75% vs 40.46%, OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.19 to 4.11, P < 0.05). 3 × 107 cells/mL stem cell (SC) group had an advantage in fistula healing rate with 71.0% compared to other doses group of stem cells (RR 1.3, 95% CI 0.76 to 2.22). And the healing rates of patients with perianal and transsphincteric fistulas (77.95%, 76.41%) were higher than those with rectovaginal fistulas. It was an amazing phenomenon that CDAI and PDAI scores occurred an obviously transient rise with the use of stem cells after 1 month (both of P < 0.05), while they returned to the baseline level by giving stem cells 3 months later. Furthermore, the incidence rate of treatment-related adverse events in the stem cell group was significantly lower than in the placebo group (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.30 to 1.14). CONCLUSIONS Our study has highlighted that stem cells was a promising method in the treatment of Crohn's fistula based on its higher efficacy and lower incidence of adverse events, especially ADSCs and Cx601. While it also needs more clinical and pre-clinical studies to strengthen evidences in the future.

Abstract
In recent years, cell-based therapies have been explored in various immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Cell therapy is the process of introducing new cells into an organism or tissue in order to treat a disease. The most studied cellular treatment in IBD was "stem cells-based therapy", which was explored according to different protocols in terms of type of donors, stem cells sources, study design and clinical endpoints. More recently, preliminary studies have also described the clinical use of "regulatory cells", which include T-reg and Tr1 cells, and "tolerogenic" dendritic cells. Finally, induced pluripotent stem cells are the subject of an intensive preclinical research program on animal models, including those related to colitis.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic and relapsing disorders that affect the quality of life in many individuals around the world. Over the past few years, the prevalence of IBDs is substantially rising which might pose a considerable social and economic burden on health systems. Progresses in the management of chronic inflammatory diseases lead to prolonged remission phase and decreased hospitalization rate. However, during treatment, many patients become refractory to conventional therapies. Recently, advanced approaches using somatic cell therapy medicinal products (SCTMPs) including immune and stem cell-based therapies have drawn many researchers' attentions. Promising results from recent trials, alongside with the emerging market indicated that these therapeutic approaches could be an alternative and promising treatment to conventional therapies. In this review, we will discuss recent advances in cell-based therapies, which have been developed for treatment of IBDs. In addition, the global emerging market and the novel products in this field are highlighted.

Abstract
AIM To assess clinical healing in patients with perianal Crohn's disease with local intrafistular injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma. METHOD The pilot study was conducted at a single centre between January 2013 and December 2015. Autologous platelet-rich plasma was prepared in platelet-rich and platelet-poor fractions for local intrafistular injection in patients with proven, established perianal Crohn's disease. Patients were permitted biological therapies, and the Perianal Crohn's Disease Activity Index was recorded. Patients were followed for 48 weeks for clinical signs of healing (complete, partial or non-healing), monitoring fistula drainage, closure and epithelialization. RESULTS The study included 29 patients (19 males; mean age 38 ± 12.8 years) with four exclusions in the operating room because surgery was not indicated and four lost to follow-up. Five adverse events were recorded, with two requiring the drainage of abscess collections. Of the 21 patients assessable at 24 weeks, there was complete healing, partial healing and non-healing in 7 (33.3%), 8 (38.1%) and 6 (28.6%) patients, respectively. By 48 weeks, there was complete healing, partial healing and non-healing in 6 (40%), 6 (40%) and 3 (20%) patients, respectively, with a reduction in the number of visible external fistula openings at both time points (P = 0.021). By the end of the study, there was a higher trend of healing if biological therapies were continued (85.7% with biologics vs. 75% without, P = 0.527), but there were no statistically significant differences and no differences in the Perianal Crohn's Disease Activity Index. CONCLUSION Autologous platelet-rich plasma is safe in patients with perianal Crohn's disease, with an acceptable healing rate over a medium-term follow-up, particularly if biological therapies are used concomitantly.

Abstract
Crohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that potentially involves the entire gastrointestinal tract. Perianal fistulizing CD (pCD) is a serious and frequent complication associated with significant morbidities and a heavy negative impact on quality of life. The aim of CD treatment is to induce and maintain disease remission and to promote mucosal repair. Unfortunately, even the best therapeutic regimens in pCD do not have long-term efficacy and cause a significant number of side effects. Therefore, it is mandatory to study new therapeutical options such as the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). These cells promote tissue repair via the induction of immunomodulation. The present review aims to analyze the existing updated scientific literature on MSCs adoption in the treatment of pCD to evaluate its efficacy and safety and to compare the use of bone marrow and adipose tissue derived MSCs, type of administration, and dose required for recovery.

Abstract
The global epidemic of chronic degenerative diseases expands rapidly. The pathogenesis of these noncommunicable disorders revolves around innate immunity, microbiome, and stem cell alterations. Understanding the mechanisms behind stem cell biology and their regulatory pathways is a key to understanding the origin of human disease. Stem cells are involved in tissue and organ damage and regeneration. The evidence is mounting that not only eukaryotic cells but also gut microbiota may release extracellular microvesicles that are absorbed from the gut into the portal and systemic circulation. Linking the fields of stem cells, innate immunity and microbiome research opens up new avenues to develop novel diagnostic (e.g., biomarkers), therapeutic (e.g., microbiome modulation, stem cell-based medicines), and prognostic (personalized diets) tools. In this chapter, we present the short overview of various stem and progenitor cells of adult tissues circulating in peripheral blood and their role in the pathogenesis and treatment of digestive diseases. We also briefly discuss the role of host-stem cell-microbial interactions as a new frontier of research in gastroenterology.

Abstract
Background: Crohn’s disease is a pathological condition that has different options of
treatment, but there are patients who need other therapeutic approach, such
as the use of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Aim: Systematic literature review to determine the different ways of
adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells administration in humans with luminal
refractory and perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease. Methods: It was conducted a search for articles (from 2008 to 2018) on PubMed and
ScienceDirect databases using the keywords Crohn’s disease, fistulizing
Crohn’s disease, luminal Crohn’s disease and transplantation of mesenchymal
stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells or stromal cells. Thirteen publications
were selected for analysis. Results: Only one study referred to the luminal Crohn´s disease. The number of cells
administered was variable, occurring mainly through subcutaneous adipose
tissue by liposuction. It could be highlighted the autologous transplant
with exclusive infusion of mesenchymal stem cells. The procedures involved
in pre-transplant were mainly curettage, setons placement and stitching with
absorbable suture, and conducting tests and drug treatment for luminal
Crohn´s disease. During transplant, the injection of mesenchymal stem cells
across the fistula path during the transplant was mainly on the intestinal
tract wall. Conclusion: Although the use of mesenchymal stem cells is promising, the transplant on
the luminal region should be more investigated. The injection of mesenchymal
stem cells, exclusively, is more explored when compared to treatment with
other products. The preparation of the fistulizing tract and the location of
cell transplantation involve standardized health care in most studies.

Abstract
Perianal diseases, common complications of Crohn's disease, are difficult to diagnose/manage. Patients with perianal Crohn's disease suffer from persistent pain and drainage, recurrent perianal sepsis, impaired quality of life, and financial burden. Conventional medical and surgical therapies carry risk of infection, myelosuppression, incontinence, disease recurrence. Although the phenotype of Crohn's disease has been extensively studied, reported outcomes are inconsistent. Endoanal ultrasonography is also becoming popular because of low cost and ability to acquire images in real time. Emerging management strategies for treatment including laser therapy, local injection of agents, use of hyperbaric oxygen, and stem cell therapy, have demonstrated efficacy.

Abstract
Much research has been performed over the last decade on stem cell therapy as treatment for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells, both allogeneic (from someone else) and autologous (from own patient), have been studied with safe and efficacious results in the majority of patients treated for luminal, perianal, and/or fistulizing disease. Here in this review, we highlight all human trials that have been conducted utilizing stem cell therapy treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Patients with fistulizing inflammatory bowel disease are traditionally difficult to treat. This patient population often experiences delayed or insufficient healing of fistulas using current standard regimens including antibiotics, immunomodulators, anti-tumor necrosis factor-α drug, placement of setons, and surgical repair. Several studies over the last ten to fifteen years have been conducted using stem cell therapies with promising results in this patient population. These studies show stem cell therapy in fistulizing disease to be successful in healing between 60%-88% compared to currently 50% with infliximab. Moreover, remission was seen 24 wk to 52 wk in these studies. Further research with a multi-approach treatment using medications, stem cell therapy, and surgical interventions will likely be the future of this innovative treatment approach.

Stem cells: their source, potency and use in regenerative therapies with focus on adipose-derived stem cells - a review. Biotechnol Adv 2018; 36:1111-1126.

Abstract
Stem cells can be defined as units of biological organization that are responsible for the development and the regeneration of organ and tissue systems. They are able to renew their populations and to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. Therefore, these cells have great potential in advanced tissue engineering and cell therapies. When seeded on synthetic or nature-derived scaffolds in vitro, stem cells can be differentiated towards the desired phenotype by an appropriate composition, by an appropriate architecture, and by appropriate physicochemical and mechanical properties of the scaffolds, particularly if the scaffold properties are combined with a suitable composition of cell culture media, and with suitable mechanical, electrical or magnetic stimulation. For cell therapy, stem cells can be injected directly into damaged tissues and organs in vivo. Since the regenerative effect of stem cells is based mainly on the autocrine production of growth factors, immunomodulators and other bioactive molecules stored in extracellular vesicles, these structures can be isolated and used instead of cells for a novel therapeutic approach called "stem cell-based cell-free therapy". There are four main sources of stem cells, i.e. embryonic tissues, fetal tissues, adult tissues and differentiated somatic cells after they have been genetically reprogrammed, which are referred to as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Although adult stem cells have lower potency than the other three stem cell types, i.e. they are capable of differentiating into only a limited quantity of specific cell types, these cells are able to overcome the ethical and legal issues accompanying the application of embryonic and fetal stem cells and the mutational effects associated with iPSCs. Moreover, adult stem cells can be used in autogenous form. These cells are present in practically all tissues in the organism. However, adipose tissue seems to be the most advantageous tissue from which to isolate them, because of its abundancy, its subcutaneous location, and the need for less invasive techniques. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) are therefore considered highly promising in present-day regenerative medicine.
