Detailed Description
Enema is a conventional treatment for Ulcerative Colitis(UC). Mesalazine is suitable for the patients with mild to moderate UC.But for the UC with extending lesions, the conventional anema with Mesalazine or other medicine can not very effective.Colonic Transendoscopic enteral Tubing(TET) is a novel, safe, convenient, and reliable procedure for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation(FMT).Compared with the conventional enema, which is only used for local administration, the Colonic TET enema can achieve total colonic administration.This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Colonic TET for UC.Patients in this study will be divided into 5 groups according to certain criteria: the Mesalazine conventional enema group, the Mesalazine TET enema group, the Compound Glutamine conventional enema group, the Compound Glutamine TET enema group, the Mesalazine and Compound Glutamine TET enema group.Each group was given enema for 7 days.The primary outcome measure was the clinical remission efficacy rate in each group. The secondary outcome measure was the safety of TET.
