Background: During active ulcerative colitis (UC), vast numbers of granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages (GM) infiltrate the mucosal tissue and can potentially exacerbate inflammation and injury. Accordingly, we were interested to see if selective depletion of GM by adsorption (GMA) impacts mucosal he
## Background: The pathophysiological basis for corticosteroid (cs) failure in ulcerative colitis (uc) is unknown. a transactivation glucocorticoid bioassay (gba) was developed to measure the biological activity of cs by quantifying glucocorticoid response elements. this approach eliminates differe
