Article Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) induces cognitive impairment associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, making it crucial to explore natural remedies targeting the microbiota-gut-brain axis. This study aims to investigate whether var. W.C. Cheng (a traditional medicine-food plant rich in flavonoids) can mitigate cognitive impairment caused by SD by modulating the gut microbiota. The sleep-deprived mouse model was established using the multiple platform water environment method. This study investigated the effects of var. flavonoids (FCFs) via behavioral tests, 16S rRNA sequencing, and biochemical analyses to assess cognitive function, gut microbiota, and related pathways. FCF alleviated SD-induced cognitive deficits, reversed gut microbiota dysbiosis (increased beneficial bacteria like , reduced harmful ones like ), promoted short-chain fatty acids production, improved colonic histopathology and intestinal barrier function, reduced serum lipopolysaccharide, inhibited glial cell activation and TLR4/NF-κB signaling, and regulated neurotransmitters. In conclusion, FCF ameliorates SD-induced cognitive impairment through regulating gut microbiota, enhancing intestinal barrier, and suppressing neuroinflammation via the microbiota-gut-brain axis, providing a theoretical basis for its application.

Ethnic fermented foods represent a significant repository for discovering novel probiotic entities. These fermented foods, entrenched in indigenous practices, have conserved a distinct microbiota through generations. Exploration of these fermented foods could yield microbial consortia capable of transforming human health.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a prevalent intestinal pathogen that significantly impacts both human and animal health. G83, isolated from giant panda feces, has demonstrated notable probiotic properties. In this study, C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into Control, ETEC, and G83 groups.

Parity, the number of pregnancies carried beyond 20 weeks, influences the maternal gut microbiome. However, whether parity modulates the infant microbiome longitudinally remains underexplored. To address this, 746 infants in a longitudinal cohort study were assessed.

It is unknown how human health is affected by the current increased consumption of ultra-processed plant-based meat analogues (PBMA). In the present study, rats were fed an experimental diet based on pork or a commercial PBMA, matched for protein, fat, and carbohydrate content for three weeks. Rats on the PBMA diet exhibited metabolic changes indicative of lower protein digestibility and/or dietary amino acid imbalance, alongside increased mesenteric (+38%) and retroperitoneal (+20%) fat depositions despite lower food and energy intake.

Despite undisputed success of orthopaedic procedures, surgical site infections (SSI) such as periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) continues to compromise the outcome and result in major clinical and economic burden. The overall rate of infection is expected to rise in the future resulting in significant associated mortality and morbidity. Traditional concepts have largely attributed the source of PJI to exogenous pathogens.
