Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic and recurrent inflammatory diseases. Although the typical symptoms are localized in the gastrointestinal tract, there are also extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) associated with IBD, probably caused by immune reactions secondary to the pathology of origin. Anybody can be affected by EIMs, which can be dermatological, pulmonary, ocular, musculoskeletal, hepatobiliary and neurological, et al. This represents a therapeutic challenge for clinicians, who must first establish a diagnostic and then a multidisciplinary therapeutic path, in order to guarantee an optimal quality of life for the patient.

Background: inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic disorders that affect the gastrointestinal tract but which also present extraintestinal manifestations. One of the problems related to IBD is the presence of both female and male infertility. Aim: determine the correlation between IBD and male and female infertility by analyzing the literature. Material and methods: Studies carried out in the last twenty years have been selected through the pubmed search engine. Only studies were selected that in their conclusions showed a real correlation between IBD and infertility. Results: the first cause of infertility in both sexes is related to the surgical interventions that patients have to face during the course of the disease, but there are also psychological causes or causes related to the use of drugs used for therapy. Conclusions: further studies are needed to understand what are the real mechanisms underlying infertility in subjects suffering from IBD.

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element of pivotal importance to human health. Se is incorporated into selenoproteins (SePs) which have pleiotropic effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and in the production of active thyroid hormone. These findings may explain the relationship between Se deficiency and pathogenesis of various human diseases including thyroid disorder. In line with these observations, the therapeutic effectiveness of Se supplementation has already been reported in patients with various thyroid diseases. However, there are still controversial data about the optimal dose of Se to be administered, as well as the duration and efficacy of treatment and safety of this trace element. It is currently recommended to administer Se supplements following the assessment of any deficiency status of this element and, after that, its association with chronic autoimmune thyroid disease has been proven. Consistent with these observations, several clinical studies have highlighted the fact that Se supplementation in patients with chronic autoimmune thyroid disease was associated with a reduction of thyroid autoantibodies, and with an improvement of the thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. The beneficial effects of Se supplementation have been reported in subjects with thyroid disease during the hyperthyroid phase. The restoration of euthyroidism is a major goal in the management of thyrotoxicosis of Graves' disease. In line with these observations, clinical studies have shown that, in patients with Graves' disease and autoimmune thyroiditis, treatment with a combination of antithyroid drugs and Se restore the euthyroid status faster than the administration of anti-thyroid drugs alone. The review shows that the treatment of an autoimmune thyroid disease with Se may bring about beneficial effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) represent chronic idiopathic disorders, including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), in which one of the trigger factors is represented by aberrant immune interactions between the intestinal epithelium and the intestinal microbiota. The involvement of heat shock proteins (HSPs) as etiological and pathogenetic factors is becoming of increasing interest. HSPs were found to be differentially expressed in the intestinal tissues and sera of patients with CD and UC. It has been shown that HSPs can play a dual role in the disease, depending on the stage of progression. They can support the inflammatory and fibrosis process, but they can also act as protective factors during disease progression or before the onset of one of the worst complications of IBD, colorectal cancer. Furthermore, HSPs are able to mediate the interaction between the intestinal microbiota and intestinal epithelial cells. In this work, we discuss the involvement of HSPs in IBD considering their genetic, epigenetic, immune and molecular roles, referring to the most recent works present in the literature. With our review, we want to shed light on the importance of further exploring the role of HSPs, or even better, the role of the molecular chaperone system (CS), in IBD: various molecules of the CS including HSPs may have diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential, promoting the creation of new drugs that could overcome the side-effects of the therapies currently used.

- Abstract
Introduction: Hernia repair using prosthetic mesh materials has become the preferred method of repair, as the recurrence rates are much lower than with conventional repair techniques. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare open small- and medium-sized abdominal wall hernia repair with flat patch mesh versus three-dimensional mesh (plug) in terms of recurrence and complication rates., Methods: The medical records of 300 patients who underwent abdominal wall hernia repair using flat patch mesh versus three-dimensional mesh between January 2010 to December 2015 were reviewed. All patients were followed up after 1 month, 3 month and 1 year. The rate of recurrence, and short-term postoperative complications such as incidence of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs), hematoma and seroma were evaluated., Results: Short-term follow-up data were available for all patients. The first group was composed of 150 patients that were treated with a flat polypropylene mesh (68% presened umbilical hernia and 32% presented epigastric hernia). The second group was composed of 150 patients that were treated with a three-dimensional polypropylene mesh (60% presented umbilical hernia and 40% presented epigastric hernia). The majority of postoperative (1-month) complications were wound related, representing superficial SSI or seroma. Our results showed a statistically significant reduction of SSIs [3 (2%) vs 13 (8.6%); p = 0.038] and seroma [2 (1.3%) vs 12 (8%); p = 0.030] in the group of patients treated with plugs compared to flat-mesh group. There was no statistically significant difference in hernia recurrences., Discussion: Usage three-dimensional mesh for open small- and medium-sized umbilical or epigastric hernia repair represents a feasible and safe technique that significantly lowers the incidence of complications such as SSIs and seroma. Furthermore, compared to flat patch mesh, plugs displayed non-inferiority in terms recurrence. Further, well-designed clinical trials could be realized to investigate possible applications of plugs in treatment of small- and medium-sized umbilical and epigastric hernias., Key Words: Mesh, Umbilical Hernia.
