Background: Endoscopic evaluation plays a pivotal role in the assessment of treatment response in ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to determine the interobserver agreement (IOA) for assessment of mucosal lesions, and to determine lesions predictive of global assessment of endoscopic severit

## Background: We aimed to determine the optimal approach to assess disease activity (i.e., biological inflammation) in ulcerative colitis (UC) by comparing patients' and physicians' rating of the disease. Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter, double-cohort study. The first cohort was com
## Background: Polyamines are important in cell growth and wound repair, but have also been implicated in inflammation-induced carcinogenesis. polyamine metabolism includes back-conversion of spermine to spermidine by the enzyme spermine oxidase (smo), which produces hydrogen peroxide that causes o
Background: L-arginine (L-Arg) is a semi-essential amino acid that is the substrate for both nitric oxide and polyamine synthesis. Cellular uptake of L-Arg is an active transport process that is subject to competitive inhibition by L-ornithine (L-Orn) and L-lysine (L-Lys). We investigated L-Arg util
