Anti-NMDAR encephalitis in Crohn’s disease undergoing long-term infliximab treatment: A case report
Infliximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody against anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), has revolutionized the management of inflammatory bowel disease. However, a recent nested case-control study showed that anti-TNF-α therapy exposure in patients with

CD3+CD4+LAP+Foxp3-regulatory cells of the colonic lamina propria limit disease extension in ulcerative colitis [PDF]
Background and Aims: In ulcerative colitis (UC), inflammation begins in the rectum and can extend proximally throughout the entire colon. The extension of inflammation is an important determinant of disease course, and may be limited by the action of ...

Comparative study of under-expressed prognostic biomarkers and pivotal signaling pathways in colon cancer and ulcerative colitis using integrated bioinformatics approach [PDF]
Colon cancer is a prevalent gastrointestinal malignancy arising in the colon. Ulcerative colitis(UC) is one of the risk factors of colorectal cancer. The detection of under-expressed biomarkers and molecular mechanisms in UC and colon cancer can lead to effective management of colitis-associated cancer. A total of two mRNA expression datasets (GSE87473
