Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks second in incidence and third in cancer mortality worldwide. This situation, together with the understanding of the heterogeneity of the disease, has highlighted the need to develop a more individualised approach to its prevention, diagnosis and treatment through person …

We concluded that hesperidin and FMT both affect the reduction of body weight and improve HFD-related disorders in the HFD-fed mice possibly through modulating the composition of the gut microbiota.

Alterations in the gut microbiome have been implicated in various pathologies. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been offered as a novel treatment for conditions implicated in the disruption of the gut-microbiota axis. This case report details the successful treatment of recurrent nonobstru …

Intratumoral microbiota (IM) has emerged as a significant component of the previously thought sterile tumor microenvironment (TME), exerting diverse functions in tumorigenesis and immune modulation. This review outlines the historical background, classification, and diversity of IM, elucidating its …

CPPS ameliorates the symptoms of DSS-induced UC primarily through the gut microbiota modulation and SCFA/GPR/NLRP3 pathways, making it a promising candidate for UC treatment.

Gut microbiota provides an important insight into clarifying the mechanism of active substances with low bioavailability, but its specific action mechanism varied case by case and remained unclear. Dihydroquercetin (DHQ) is a bioactive flavonoid with low bioavailability, which showed beneficial effe …

Arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) impose a significant burden. Their prevalence rises with age and is linked to gut dysbiosis. Our study aimed to determine whether aged gut microbiota affects arrhythmogenesis. Here, we demonstrated that arrhythmia susceptibility in aged mice could be transm …

Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk, poses a significant global health burden. Recent research has shed light on the bidirectional relationship between gut microbiota (GM) and bone health, presenting a novel avenue for understanding …

In recent years, the incidence of food allergies in children has been increasing annually, significantly affecting the quality of life for patients and their families. It has long been suspected that childhood allergies might potentially lead to behavioral and psychological issues in adulthood, but …

Pulmonary fibrosis is an end-stage respiratory disease characterized by fibroblast proliferation and accumulation of extracellular matrix and collagen, which is accompanied by inflammatory damage. The disease is mainly based on pulmonary dysfunction and respiratory failure, the incidence of it is in …

Aging impairs cognitive function, whereas nutritional intervention can delay aging and age-related diseases. Lycopene (LYC), a naturally occurring carotenoid, posses multiple health-promoting properties, including neuroprotective function. Here, the effects of LYC on memory and behavioral deficits i …

(a) Gut microbiota-derived acetate promotes angiogenesis post-stroke and (b) lymphatic ingrowth into the cerebral cortex was observed in post-dMCAO mice. These findings suggest that selectively promoting SCFA-producing bacteria, particularly acetate-producers, could be a promising therapeutic strate …

The balanced gut microbiota in intestinal mucus layer plays an instrumental role in the health of the host. However, the mechanisms by which the host regulates microbial communities in the mucus layer remain largely unknown. Here, we discovered that the host regulates bacterial colonization in the g …

Berberine (BBR) is used to treat diarrhea clinically. However, its reproductive toxicity is unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of BBR on the male reproductive system. Intragastric BBR administration for 14 consecutive days results in a significant decrease in the serum testosterone c …

Many studies have demonstrated the impact of intestinal microbiota on normal brain development. Moreover, the gut microbiota (GM) is impacted by multiple endogenous and environmental factors that may promote gut dysbiosis (GD). An increasing number of studies are investigating the possible role of t …

An Ontario court was scheduled to hear on Thursday a challenge to the province's decision to grant a new licence to a Pickering long-term care home where more than 70 residents died during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) represent a cornerstone of gut health, serving as critical mediators of immune modulation and overall host homeostasis. Patients with dysbiosis caused by Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) typically exhibit lower SCFAs levels compared to healthy stool don …

These studies provided the experimental basis for the clinical administration of Kui-Jie-Ling and Kui-Jie-Ling combined with adalimumab against UC.

Timely identification of risk factors for the development of CMV infection, the introduction of innovative methods and approaches in diagnosis, and the use of effective methods for treating diseases of the digestive system associated with CMV infection can improve the prognosis of the underlying dis …

Crohn's disease (CD) is a complex, chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by unpredictable flare-ups and periods of remission. Despite advances in treatment, CD remains a significant health burden, leading to substantial direct healthcare costs and out-of-pocket expenses for patients, espe …

The gut microbiota serves a crucial role in the development of host immunity. Immunocompromised patients are particularly vulnerable to dysbiosis not only by virtue of a defect in the immune system but also due to increased susceptibility to infection and multiple courses of antibiotic therapy. Feca …

FMT could regulate the gut microbiota and Th1/Th2 immune balance and might inhibit FA through the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, which would provide a new idea for the treatment of FA.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent type of dementia, but its etiopathogenesis is not yet fully understood. Recent preclinical studies and clinical evidence indicate that changes in the gut microbiome could potentially play a role in the accumulation of amyloid beta. However, the relation …

In this study, we investigated the effects of transplanting Ningxiang pig fecal bacteria on ileum microflora and intestinal barrier of Duroc × Landrace × Large White (DLY) pigs. Thirty-two DLY pigs at 90-d-old were equally assigned to either control groups (fed the basal diet) or test group (fed the …

FMT can defend the intestinal mucosal barrier integrality by increasing the content of exercise fatty acids, and its mechanism may be in connection with its inhibition of TLR4/My- D88/NF-κB signal pathway to relieve inflammation.

Increasing researches reveal gut microbiota was associated with the development of tuberculosis (TB). How to prevent or reduce Mycobacterium tuberculosis colonization in the lungs is a key measure to prevent TB. However, the data on gut microbiota preventing Mycobacterium colonization …
