Saliva could be key to inflamed bowels
A chemical in saliva has been found to greatly improve the condition of patients with inflamed bowels, scientists said today.
Treatment with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) could prove to be a major breakthrough for sufferers, it was claimed.
Bowel inflammation, or ulcerative colitis, is a distressing condition which causes ulceration and bleeding.
The cause of colitis is unknown, but it affects about 95,000 people in the UK, with 5,500 new cases being diagnosed each year.
EGF is a molecule produced naturally in human saliva. In the study, a group of 24 colitis patients with worsening symptoms were either given enemas of EGF or a dummy treatment.
Every patient also received the drug 5-ASA, part of the standard therapy for the condition. Over a period of 14 days virtually all patients treated with EGF stopped experiencing symptoms, unlike those only being helped by 5-ASA.
Patients given EGF continued to improve several months after treatment stopped, and suffered almost no side effects.
Chief scientist Professor Ray Playford, from Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and Imperial College, London, said: "Ulcerative colitis is a very difficult disease to live with.
"We've been working on finding alternative therapies to treat the condition and are delighted with the results of this latest trial.
"Long-term use of some of the standard therapies such as high dose steroids can result in serious side effects, such as diabetes and osteoporosis, and there is therefore an urgent need for new approaches.
"All the patients who were given EGF noticed relief from symptoms within two weeks of starting the treatment, a remarkably rapid improvement for patients with such distressing symptoms."
The findings were reported today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
