(Adnkronos) - Il segretario del Gruppo italiano per lo studio delle malattie infiammatorie croniche intestinali Massimo Claudio Fantini: “il sistema di raccolta dati a livello nazionale permetterà appunto di fare ricerca. E Standard di cura per fornire indicazioni su cosa tendere in tutti i centri che hanno in carico pazienti con malattie infiammatorie croniche intestinali”. Il punto su queste patologie.

00:00Among the important news of this edition of the National Congress of the Italian Group
00:11for the Study of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases, there is the presentation of the Foundation,
00:19an instrument that the scientific society has strongly wanted, dedicated exclusively to research.
00:28We need in Italy to have an instrument that can promote, at the national level,
00:34research that can then determine whether there has been an improvement
00:40of what our knowledge of these diseases is.
00:44Within the Foundation, there is a system of data collection
00:49that will allow us, on a national scale, to have those data that are needed for research.
00:56Finally, there is the presentation of the care standards.
00:59This is a project in which the GbD is committed to providing, in Italian territory,
01:06those that can be indications on what to expect in all those centers
01:13that have patients with intestinal chronic inflammatory diseases at their disposal.
01:19Intestinal chronic inflammatory diseases are pathologies,
01:24as the name suggests, characterized by the development of a chronic inflammation
01:28that is located at the intestinal level, then with differences between the two main forms of disease,
01:35reticulocirrhosis and Crohn's disease.
01:37They are growing in industrialized countries because they are probably linked
01:43to what for us is an improvement of hygienic and sanitary conditions,
01:47which unfortunately has had a negative impact on what is the immune system of each of us,
01:54which is used for centuries, if not millennia, to live in certain conditions,
02:01is found to be under-stimulated and at the same time stimulated by agents and substances.
02:11You see environmental pollution, but you also see that what we add to food,
02:17ultra-processed foods, contain substances that now it is clear to have an impact
02:23on what is the possibility that our immune system in the end reacts to antigens,
02:30that is, substances that are normally present at the level of the intestine.
02:37You see bacterial products, but you also see substances that are introduced with food
02:43that trigger an immune response, an immune response that,
02:47due to the persistence of these stimuli, leads to a chronic inflammatory process.
02:55We must not even forget what it is and what it has been,
02:59which is still the early exposure to antibiotics, which has a clear predisposing effect
03:06to determine this imbalance between the immune system and the intestinal bacterial flora,
03:11what we now call the intestinal microbiome,
03:15and which is at the basis of the development of chronic inflammation.
