For intestinal bleeding, no blood was scored as 0, a hemoccult-positive stool was scored as 2, and gross rectal bleeding was scored as 4. During acute DSS colitis experiments, the animals were euthanized on day 7 of DSS administration. For the post-DSS recovery study, DSS was replaced ...
DAI reflected the intestinal disease activity and was calculated by scoring the weight loss, diarrhoea and rectal bleeding following the method previously described by Cooper [42,43] (Table 2). The DAI values were the sum of the weight loss, stool consistency and faecal occult blood scores. ...
The clinical picture in UC is determined by the extent of the disease and the severity of the inflammation, characterized by the presence of diarrhea and rectal bleeding [2]. Clostridioides colitis (CDI) is a severe inflammation of the inner lining of the large intestine, manifesting as an...
The clinical manifestations of UC are mainly rectal bleeding, diarrhea, tenesmus, and sometimes low abdominal pain [7]. Previous studies have found that the UC recurred in about 15% of patients five years after diagnosis, and in up to about 25% of patients at 10 years [8]. Therefore, ...
