New drugs (latest treatment options) for colitis include fecal flora transplantation, microecological agents, and stem cell therapy.
1. Fecal flora transplantation is a new method emerging in recent years for the treatment of colitis, which refers to the transfer of healthy intestinal flora to the intestines of patients with colitis as a way to correct microbial disorders and re-establish normal flora. Numerous studies have shown that the treatment of colitis is safe and can induce colitis remission.
2. Microecological agents can activate the body’s protective immune response through direct action on intestinal bacteria, thus regulating the gastrointestinal tract, and can be used for maintenance therapy during the remission period of colitis. Probiotics (e.g. Bifidobacterium bifidum) have been shown to be effective in terms of inflammation levels in colitis.
3. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to migrate tissues as well as immunomodulate, and their main therapeutic goals are to alleviate inflammation, reduce the rate of surgery, and improve patients’ quality of life in the long term, which provides a new therapeutic direction for a wide range of colitis patients.
All of the above treatment options are the latest research programs for the treatment of colitis, but it is not recommended that patients try on their own to avoid adverse reactions, the drug should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
