## Abstract The causes of exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are unknown. The presence of RNA of an enterovirus, norovirus GI, norovirus GII, rotavirus, astrovirus, and sapovirus was sought in stool samples of 50 children (median age 12.9 years) undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopie

โฆ Synopsis
Recent progresses in basic science have opened new pathogenic scenarios in inflammatory bowel disease. The T helper cell type (Th)1/Th2 paradigm has been outdated thanks to the advances in understanding the function of Th17 cells. Innate immunity, nonimmune cells, and defective tolerogenic mechanisms play a no less crucial role than do adaptive immunity, immune cells, and hyperactivation of effector mechanisms. These new paradigms, together with the no longer ''static'' but ''dynamic'' vision of intestinal inflammation, highlight new possible therapeutic targets in inflammatory bowel disease.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene and protein expression. miRNAs are critical to a normal immune response and have altered expression in multiple immune-mediated disorders. This emerging role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of multiple disease states has led to investigat
