Article Abstract

Gut microbiota dysbiosis has a critical role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases, prompting the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches like fecal microbiota transplantation, which involves the transfer of fecal microbiota from a healthy donor to a recipient with the aim of restoring a balanced microbial community and attenuating inflammation. Fecal microbiota transplantation may exert beneficial effects in inflammatory bowel disease through modulation of immune responses, restoration of mucosal barrier integrity, and alteration of microbial metabolites. It could alter disease course and prevent flares, although long-term durability and safety data are lacking. This review provides a summary of current evidence on fecal microbiota transplantation in inflammatory bowel disease management, focusing on its challenges, such as variability in donor selection criteria, standardization of transplant protocols, and long-term outcomes post-transplantation.

Background: The gut microbiota plays a vital role in various physiological processes, including metabolism. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) involves transferring fecal matter from a healthy donor to rebalance a patient's intestinal dysbiosis. The impact of FMT on metabolic syndrome (MetS) is subject to debate.

Aim: To characterise periodontal and faecal microbiomes of individuals with periodontal health (PH) and diseases, and evaluate associations with periodontal, sociodemographic, anthropometric, nutritional and lifestyle factors.

Materials And Methods: Dental biofilm and faecal samples from individuals (n = 24/group) with PH, gingivitis (GG) and periodontitis (PE) were sequenced (16S rRNA). Anthropometric data and questionnaires on demographics, lifestyle, diet and intestinal habits were collected.

This study investigated fermentation-induced alterations in the structural and physicochemical properties of Brassica rapa L. polysaccharide (BRL-G) and their effects on gut microbiota composition. An in vitro continuous bioreactor system was used, combining ultrasound-microwave-assisted enzymatic extraction with fecal microbiota co-culture.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Shen Ling Bai Zhu San (SLBZS) is a classical Chinese herbal formula and has been used for treating chronic diarrhea (CD) for several centuries. However, there is a lack of robust evidence on how SLBZS regulates immune function to improve CD.

Aim Of The Study: To reveal the spleen-invigorating and antidiarrheal effects of SLBZS in chronic diarrhea mice induced by spleen-deficiency, as well as to explore the underlying mechanism.

Background: A plant-focused, healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet enriched with dietary fiber, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fats, is well known to positively influence the gut microbiota. Conversely, a processed diet high in saturated fats and sugars negatively impacts gut diversity, potentially leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, and chronic, low-grade inflammation. Despite this understanding, the mechanisms by which the Mediterranean diet impacts the gut microbiota and its associated health benefits remain unclear.
