Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from inappropriate immune activation in the gut. The two main types are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, distinguished by the location and depth of inflammation. IBD is caused by genetic susceptibility interacting with defects in the epithelial barrier and immune response to the gut microbiota, leading to chronic inflammation.

One of the most critical roles performed by fibroblasts, both in normal and cancer tissue, is the production and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Not only does the ECM impart structural support and strength to tissues, it also provides attachment sites for cell surface receptors, and functions as a reservoir of cytokines and other growth factors27The structure of tumor-associated ECM is abnormal, with loose structure and disorganized collagen fibers28Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of enzymes capable of degrading components of the ECM and are critical in maintenance of the ECM. Degradation of the ECM by MMPs releases growth factors, enhances migration, and alters cell:cell and cell:ECM interactions29. Although MMPs can be produced by tumor cells, most are produced by fibroblasts and macrophages, and high levels of MMPs are found at the tumor:stroma interface7. Because MMPs are secreted into the surrounding environment by these cells, they are a good example of the interaction that occurs between a tumor and its environment.
Evidence indicates that MMPs are key players in multiple steps of tumor progression; they promote metastasis, angiogenesis, and even tumor initiation. One of the many paradoxes of MMP activity is that MMPs often have opposing effects depending on the composition of the tumor environment and the nature of MMPs present. For example, MMPs can either promote or inhibit angiogenesis, depending on the molecules they release from the ECM3029. Because of their potent effects on tumor formation and metastasis, several clinical trials attempted to use MMP inhibitors as anticancer therapy. However, these trials were soon stopped as patients developed muscle and bone pain, formed connective tissue nodules, and developed joint disorders. These trials highlight the difficulty of targeting molecules critical for the function of multiple tissues
The Tumor Stroma and Metastasis
• Seed and Soil hypothesis: given tumor cells (seeds) can only colonize particular distant tissues (soil) that have a suitable growth environment.
• Two key events must occur for site-specific metastasis to occur: 1) formation of a viable landing spot and 2) expression of appropriate genes in the tumor cells.
• Tumor cells may invade foreign tissue but fail to colonize it. The reasons for this are unknown. These cells are considered 'dormant' cancer cells.

The fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (WHO CNS5) incorporates numerous molecular changes with clinicopathologic utility that are important for the most accurate classification of CNS neoplasms.
WHO CNS5 does not recommend specific methods for molecular assessment.
WHO CNS5 has grouped tumors according to the genetic changes that enable a complete diagnosis.
IDH (Astrocytoma, Oligodendroglioma and Glioblastoma) and H3 (Diffuse midline glioma, Diffuse hemispheric glioma).
Some by looser oncogenic associations. Like MAPK pathway alteration (Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumor).
Some are classified by histological similarities even though molecular signatures vary.
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, Ganglioglioma, Papillary glioneuronal tumor.
Many by using molecular features to define new types and subtypes.
Medulloblastoma.
The term “type" is used instead of “entity” and “subtype” is used instead of “variant".
The fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System follows the recommendations of the 2019 cIMPACT-NOW Utrecht meeting.
Names have been simplified, and only location, age, or genetic modifiers with clinical utility have been used.
Extra-ventricular neurocytoma vs Central neurocytoma.
The characteristics of tumors that are highly characteristic are included in tumor definitions and descriptions, even if they do not appear in the tumor name itself.
chordoid gliomas occurring in the third ventricle
Sometimes tumor names reflect morphologic features that are not present in every example, and they may also reflect historical associations.
Some myxopapillary ependymomas are minimally myxoid, and some may not be overtly papillary.
Xanthomatous change may be limited to a small fraction of cells in pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas.
Medulloblast has not been identified in developmental studies, in cases of Medulloblastoma.
As they would be disruptive to clinicians and may lead to confusion, they were not changed.
Tumors are now graded within types, modifier terms like "anaplastic" are not routinely used.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

• IBD is a chronic condition resulting from inappropriate mucosal immune
activation
• Two disorders comprising IBD are
•Ulcerative colitis (UC)
•Crohns disease (CD)
3. INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
• Distinction between Ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease depends upon the
distribution of affected sites
• Crohn’s Disease : Most often distal small intestine & colon
• Ulcerative Colitis : Colon & Rectum
CROHNS DISEASE ULCERATIVE COLITIS
4. INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
• Ulcerative Colitis is limited to the mucosa and submucosa.
• In contrast Crohns Disease referred to as regional enteritis is typically transmural

• ATG16L1 and IRGM – are part of autophagy pathways
• Autophagy is involved in intracellular homeostasis, contributing to
the degradation and recycling of cytosolic contents and organelles as
well as removal of intracellular microbes.
• In Crohns disease - ATG16L1 and IRGM mutations result in protein
which adversely affect the normal autophagy and does not allow
repair of worn out cell parts and defense against microbes
12. INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Immune response
• Two main types of IBD represent clearly distinct forms of gut
inflammation.
• CD has been considered to be driven by a Th1 response.
• UC has been associated with Th2 response.
• Newly described Th17 cells are also involved in the gut inflammatory
response in IBD.

Editor's Notes
NOD2 gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 16 at band 21
It encodes for NOD2 protein which is intracellular and binds to bacterial peptidoglycans and activates the signaling events including NF-κβ pathway leading to the production of inflammatory cytokines
This protein is active in immune system cells like monocytes, macrophages and WBC’s and also in intestinal epithelial cells and Paneth cells
In normal individuals there is lack of immune responsiveness to dietary antigens and commensal flora in intestinal lumen
The mechanism responsible for this is by the activation of CD4+T cells secreting cytokines inhibitory to inflammation (IL-10, TGF-β) which suppress inflammation in the gut wall
In the IBD, this immune mechanism of suppression of inflammation is defective and this results in uncontrolled inflammation.
Main types of CD4+ T cells involved in IBD are Th1 cells secrete proinflammatory cytokines IFN γ and TNF which induces transmural granulomatous inflammation seen in CD. IL-12 initiates Th1 cytokine pathway
Th2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 which induces superficial mucosal inflammation characteristically seen in UC
Th17 cells contribute to pathogenesis by producing IL-17 which inturn activates neutrophils and contributes to disease pathogenesis
Defects in intestinal epithelial tight junction barrier are present in CD
In patients with CD and their relatives, barrier dysfunction associated with specific disease associated NOD2 polymorphism - can activate innate and adaptive mucosal immunity and sensitize subjects to disease
Activation of effector cytotoxic T cells and cytokine release result in generation of activated matrix metalloproteinases, enzyme that are mediators of tissue destruction.
Polymorphism in certain transcription factor like Hepatocyte Nuclear factor 4α are associated with reduced intestinal barrier function and are associated with UC and not with CD.
HNF 4α that controls epithelial tight junctions and intestinal permeability is reduced (down regulated) in UC.
The roles of intestinal microbiota, epithelial function and mucosal immunity suggests a cycle by which there is transepithelial influx of luminal bacterial components which activates innate and adaptive immune responses.
In a genetically susceptible host, the subsequent release of TNF and other immune mediated signals direct epithelia to increase tight junction permeability which causes further increase in the influx of luminal material.
Smoking has protective effect on the development of UC with lower rate of relapse. In contrary it increases the risk of CD and is associated with higher rate of post operative disease. Nicotine has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on Th2 lymphocytes but no effect on Th1 lymphocytes.
Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increasing risk of IBD
High dose, prolonged using duration and frequent use of NSAID had been associated with an increased risk of CD and UC. NSAIDS has affect due to COX -1 inhibitory effect of drug which inhibits protective mucosal prostaglandin production and increased leukocyte migration and adherence.
Use of antibiotics is an important environmental factor, influencing the risk of IBD through their effect on the microbiome
Stress plays a role in pathogenesis of both CD and UC.
