Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in animal-derived foods. It is added to others and is available as a dietary supplement and a prescription medication. Vitamin B12 exists in several forms and contains the mineral cobalt [1-4], so compounds with vitamin B12 activity are collectively called “cobalamins”. Methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin are the forms of vitamin B12 that are active in human metabolism [5].

Background & Aims: Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors are heterogeneous and respond differently to treatment. We aimed to investigate if disease activity and quality of life were associated with the individual varying distribution of fat and fat free mass. Methods: A sample of 83 CD patients treated with TNF-α inhibitors were examined in this single center, cross-sectional study. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and muscle function by handgrip strength (HGS). The association to disease activity assessed by Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI), Creactive protein (CRP) and quality of life assessed by Short Health Scale (SHS) was investigated. Results: Increased fat mass index (FMI) was significantly associated to higher disease activity assessed by HBI (p < 0.05) and showed a trend toward a higher CRP level in multivariate non-parametric regression analyses (p=0.07). Univariate tests showed a significant positive association between FMI and SHS as well. Fat free mass index (FFMI) and HGS were not associated to disease activity or quality of life in this population. Conclusion: Despite TNF-α inhibitor therapy, one third of the patients in this study experienced active disease. High FMI was significantly associated to increased disease activity and decreased quality of life. No associations were seen between FFMI, HGS and body composition. Larger studies are needed to confirm these results, and to investigate confounders.
背景与目的:使用肿瘤坏死因子-α (TNF-α)抑制剂治疗的克罗恩病(CD)患者具有异质性，对治疗的反应不同。我们的目的是调查疾病活动和生活质量是否与个体不同的脂肪和无脂肪量分布有关。方法:在这项单中心横断面研究中，对83例接受TNF-α抑制剂治疗的CD患者进行了检查。用生物电阻抗分析法(BIA)测定体成分，用握力分析法(HGS)测定肌肉功能。用Harvey-Bradshaw指数(HBI)、CRP (CRP)和SHS (Short Health Scale)评估生活质量与疾病活动性的关系。结果:脂肪质量指数(FMI)的增加与HBI评估的疾病活动性升高显著相关(p < 0.05)，多变量非参数回归分析显示CRP水平升高的趋势(p=0.07)。单变量检验也显示FMI与SHS之间存在显著正相关。无脂肪质量指数(FFMI)和HGS与该人群的疾病活动或生活质量无关。结论:尽管TNF-α抑制剂治疗，本研究中仍有三分之一的患者出现活动性疾病。高FMI与疾病活动性增加和生活质量下降显著相关。FFMI、HGS和身体成分之间没有关联。需要更大规模的研究来证实这些结果，并调查混杂因素。

One quarter of world’s population is known to be affected by ascariasis. It is endemic in various parts of the subcontinent. Gangetic plain of Bangladesh, West Bengal, Kashmere valley are examples. Biliary ascaiasis is one of the manifestations of ascariasis. We searched literature published from both endemic and non-endemic area and aimed to study different types of clinical presentation, diagnostic tool, complications and their frequency and various treatment option for the management of biliary ascariasis. Biliary colic is the commonest symptom. Acute cholecystitis, obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, pancreatitis, hepatolithiasis, liver abscess are other mode of presentation. Ultrasonography is an excellent non –invasive investigation for diagnosis and follow up of this condition. Majority of cases are treated conservatively. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography) based extraction of Ascaris lubricoids is possible in most of the situation where expert endoscopy services are available. Open common bile duct exploration and removal of worm is necessary in absence of endoscopy. Improvement of personal hygiene, improvement of sanitation and regular anti-helminthic administration can reduce this dreadful consequence of infestation by worms.
