Introduction Anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) therapies have revolutionized the management of Crohn's disease (CD). However, they increase the risk of viral reactivation, particularly hepatitis B virus (HBV). This study aims to define the HBV serological profiles of patients with CD who are candidates for biological therapy, identifying profiles at potential risk for reactivation or exacerbation following immunosuppressive treatment.

Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), a lipid metabolism-related factor localized in tricellular tight junctions (tTJs), plays an important role in maintaining the epithelial homeostasis. LSR is highly expressed in well-differentiated cancers, and its expression decreases during malignancy. The LSR antibody inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis in some cancers.

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infects cells through the cellular receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and the protease TMPRSS2 for the priming of viral spike protein. Thus, changes in these key proteins due to chronic conditions can increase risk for SARS-CoV2 infection; but significance of changes may differ is these changes correspond to full-length species or proteolytic fragments. Here, we determined that full-length ACE2 decreased in the plasma of uninfected Crohn's disease (CD) patients before treatment onset compared to controls.

Background: Exclusive enteral nutrition is an established treatment for active Crohn's disease (CD) but the role of partial enteral nutrition (PEN) in the broader management of the disease is less clear. This systematic review and meta-analysis reviewed the literature on the role of PEN in CD management.
Methods: This review was conducted following Cochrane recommendations.
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common vasculitis syndrome that mainly affects children. Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a tuberculosis (TB) infection without signs or symptoms. Here, we report the case of a boy who traveled from abroad, was diagnosed with KD at our hospital, and underwent multidisciplinary treatment, including anti-TNFα therapy.
