Article Abstract
Fecal microbiota transplantation is an emerging disease-modifying therapy. The viability of the microbiome in feces and its successful transfer depends on the preparation of fecal microbiota suspension. However, currently, no standard operation procedure is proposed for fecal suspension preparation. This study aims to compare the effect of different preparation methods on the composition of fecal microbiota composition in the rat. Four methods were used to collect the fecal suspension from fresh rat fecal (Group A), including stirring with normal saline (Group B), stirring with normal saline and then standing (Group C), stirring with normal saline and filtered with gauze (Group D), and stirring with normal saline and centrifuged (Group E). 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16S rDNA) sequencing technology was used to analyze the microbiota diversity and composition of each group of samples. Compared with fresh feces, the bacterial richness of the fecal suspension obtained by the four methods was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The structural similarity with fresh fecal microbiota from high to low is groups B, D, C, and E. All four methods changed the microbiota structure to varying degrees, thus may affect the effect of FMT. In conclusion, choosing different methods to prepare fecal suspensions may help to better optimize the application of FMT.

Background: The microbiota‒gut‒brain axis is increasingly recognized as a critical pathway in the pathogenesis of depression and the response to antidepressant treatments. Esketamine(S-Ket), a noncompetitive glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, has shown a rapid and long-lasting antidepressant effects. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the antidepressant actions of S-Ket remain unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to establish an model simulating periodontal biofilm architecture with three representative periodontal pathogens and evaluate its systemic impact through oral gavage administration in C57BL/6 mice. The findings provide mechanistic insights into the oral-gut axis dysbiosis, elucidating potential pathways linking periodontal inflammation to gastrointestinal pathophysiology.
Methods: Fifty 7-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into five groups(n=10/group): control (H), (F), (P), (S) and biofilm (BF, + + ) groups.

Parasite control is a major challenge and contributor to economic loss and animal illness in the small ruminant industry. Given the burden of parasitism and lack of anthelmintic resistance surveillance, the purpose of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of fenbendazole in sheep and goats in Southern New England in the United States. Thirty sheep and eighty goats from nineteen farms in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island were sampled for fecal egg counts (FEC) pre- and post-administration of a 10 mg/kg oral dose of fenbendazole (Panacur® 10 % oral suspension).

Introduction: This study aims to systematically explore the regulatory effects of ghrelin on hindlimb skeletal muscle function and gastrointestinal smooth muscle in mice. The objective is to elucidate the improvement effects of ghrelin on functional constipation through regulating skeletal muscle function and gastrointestinal motility, providing new theoretical support for the prevention and treatment of functional constipation.
Methods: Dexamethasone-induced cell models and tail suspension-induced mouse models were employed to analyze the regulatory effect of ghrelin on the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 signaling pathway.
AbstractResearchers commonly collect fecal samples from wild animals to monitor steroid metabolites and associate them with ecology and behavior. This method requires that we develop and validate species-specific methods that are appropriate for various field conditions and compatible with laboratory resources. We compared multiple extraction and storage methods for analyzing fecal progesterone metabolites (fPms) in wild female Verreaux's sifaka ().
