The exploitation of novel wound healing methods with real-time infection sensing and high spatiotemporal precision is highly important for human health. Pt-based metal-organic cycles/cages (MOCs) have been employed as multifunctional antibacterial agents due to their superior Pt-related therapeutic efficiency, various functional subunits and specific geometries. However, how to rationally apply these nanoscale MOCs on the macroscale with controllable therapeutic output is still challenging.

Objectives: To study the association between infliximab trough level (IFX-TL) prior to maintenance treatment and disease outcome in children with Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 35 children with CD who received induction therapy with infliximab (IFX) and the measurement of IFX-TL before maintenance treatment from August 2018 to November 2021. Clinical data and laboratory markers at baseline and before maintenance treatment were collected, and the association between outcome and IFX-TL was analyzed.

Background: Interleukin 10 receptor alpha subunit (IL10RA) dysfunction is the main cause of very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) in East Asians.

Aim: To identify disease-causing gene mutations in four patients with VEO-IBD and verify functional changes related to the disease-causing mutations.

Methods: From May 2016 to September 2020, four young patients with clinically diagnosed VEO-IBD were recruited.

Background: Infantile-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IO-IBD) occurs in very young children and causes severe clinical manifestations, which has poor responses to traditional inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatments. At present, there are no simple and reliable laboratory indicators for early screening IO-IBD patients, especially those in whom the disease is caused by monogenic diseases.

Aim: To search for valuable indicators for early identifying IO-IBD patients, especially those in whom the disease is caused by monogenic diseases.

Background: To investigate the unique features of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children, we wanted to identify whether there might be a strong correlation between the disease phenotype and its prognosis at various ages in paediatric patients.

Methods: We collected data from patients diagnosed with IBD (ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD)) from 2002 to 2016. The diagnosis was made according to the Porto criteria and Paris Classification.

ERp29 is a novel endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that plays an important role in protein unfolding and secretion. Recently, it has been reported to be widely implicated in control of tumorigenesis in some tumors. However, the potential function of ERp29 in gastric cancer remains poorly understood.

Aim: To perform sequencing analysis in patients with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) to determine the genetic basis for VEO-IBD in Chinese pediatric patients.

Methods: A total of 13 Chinese pediatric patients with VEO-IBD were diagnosed from May 2012 and August 2014. The relevant clinical characteristics of these patients were analyzed.

ERp19, a mammalian thioredoxin-like protein, plays a key role in defense against endoplasmic reticulum stress. It belongs to the protein disulfide isomerize (PDI) family, whose members have been implicated in development of breast, ovarian and gastrointestinal cancers. However, the role of ERp19 in gastric cancer (GC) remains undefined.

Aim: To investigate dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) expression in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: The expression of DC-SIGN in IECs was examined by immunohistochemistry of intestinal mucosal biopsies from 32 patients with IBD and 10 controls. Disease activity indices and histopathology scores were used to assess the tissue lesions and pathologic damage.

Background: The purpose was to estimate the incidence and characteristics of childhood inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during 2000-2010 in Shanghai, China.

Methods: IBD patients between the ages of 0 and 18 years old were identified by survey of computerized medical information. Relevant data were extracted from their corresponding medical records.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate whether celiac disease (CD) could be the cause of chronic diarrhea in Chinese patients.

Patients And Methods: During the period of January 2005 to December 2008, patients with chronic diarrhea in pediatric hospitals from 4 major cities (Shanghai, Wuhan, Jinan, and Chengdu) in China were included in the study. The clinical history, physical findings, and laboratory data were collected and analyzed.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children in Shanghai.

Method: This study was conducted on the infants and young children who were below 24 months of age recruited consecutively from April 2008 to June 2008 from the 12 communities in Minhang district in Shanghai. The questionnaire on gastrointestinal symptoms and growth was sent to 5030 children < 24 months old.
