UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007413	Intestinal Mucosa	Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI.

D010131	Aminosalicylic Acid	An antitubercular agent often administered in association with ISONIAZID. The sodium salt of the drug is better tolerated than the free acid.	4-Aminosalicylic Acid,p-Aminosalicylic Acid,para-Aminosalicylic Acid,Alumino-4-Aminosalicylic Acid,Pamisyl,Rezipas,p-Aminosalicylic Acid Monolithium Salt,p-Aminosalicylic Acid Monopotassium Salt,p-Aminosalicylic Acid Monosodium Salt,p-Aminosalicylic Acid, Aluminum (2:1) Salt,p-Aminosalicylic Acid, Calcium (2:1) Salt,p-Aminosalicylic Acid, Monosodium Salt, Dihydrate,4 Aminosalicylic Acid,Acid, Aminosalicylic,Alumino 4 Aminosalicylic Acid,p Aminosalicylic Acid,p Aminosalicylic Acid Monolithium Salt,p Aminosalicylic Acid Monopotassium Salt,p Aminosalicylic Acid Monosodium Salt,para Aminosalicylic Acid
D003093	Colitis, Ulcerative	Inflammation of the COLON that is predominantly confined to the MUCOSA. Its major symptoms include DIARRHEA, rectal BLEEDING, the passage of MUCUS, and ABDOMINAL PAIN.	Colitis Gravis,Idiopathic Proctocolitis,Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Ulcerative Colitis Type,Ulcerative Colitis
D003424	Crohn Disease	A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.

D000636	Aminosalicylic Acids	A group of 2-hydroxybenzoic acids that can be substituted by amino groups at any of the 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-positions.	Acids, Aminosalicylic
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012460	Sulfasalazine	A drug that is used in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. Its activity is generally considered to lie in its metabolic breakdown product, 5-aminosalicylic acid (see MESALAMINE) released in the colon.
