Color and power Doppler ultrasound are useful methods for the assessment of patients with gastrointestinal diseases. The aim of our study was to assess color Doppler and power Doppler ultrasound, during the evolution of patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease treated with salazopyrin. We included in the study 10 patients with inflammatory bowel diseases diagnosed by colonoscopy with multiple biopsies. All the patients underwent color and power Doppler ultrasound using Jeffrey criteria for the evaluation of intestinal vasculature. Biological examinations included: erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum C reactive protein, blood cell count, fibrinogenemia, protein electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis. The results of our study indicated a diminished blood flow at the level of the affected intestinal segments after one month of salazopyrin treatment. Color and power Doppler ultrasound might thus represent a useful method for monitoring the response in inflammatory bowel disease treatment.
彩色多普勒超声和能量多普勒超声是评估胃肠道疾病患者的有用方法。我们研究的目的是评估在用柳氮磺胺吡啶治疗的溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩病患者的病情发展过程中彩色多普勒和能量多普勒超声的情况。我们纳入了10例经结肠镜检查及多次活检确诊为炎症性肠病的患者。所有患者均采用杰弗里标准进行彩色和能量多普勒超声检查以评估肠道血管系统。生物学检查包括：红细胞沉降率、血清C反应蛋白、血细胞计数、纤维蛋白原血症、蛋白电泳和免疫电泳。我们的研究结果表明，柳氮磺胺吡啶治疗1个月后，受累肠段的血流减少。因此，彩色多普勒超声和能量多普勒超声可能是监测炎症性肠病治疗反应的一种有用方法。
