Human pathophysiological status highly depends on microbiota activity; its presence is in fact necessary to a healthy development, as well as for backing up immune system in the defense from pathogens. Gut microbiota also acts as a metabolic player that takes part in host metabolism by partially regulating bile acids (BAs) metabolism, as well as farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signalling. In fact, if microbiota functions are totally or even partially impaired, its role in supporting both BAs and FXR pathways will be undermined too, resulting in a diminished liver regeneration function. Hepatic pathologies have been associated to impaired gut microbial diversity, that can trigger a positive feedback cycle that worsen liver injury and obstruct liver regeneration process. Alcoholic liver disease subjects were typically infected by Bacteroides species and expanded Proteobacteria ones. Thus, it can be inferred that an intimate relationship between microbiota, hepatic metabolism and injury as well as regeneration is standing. Within this complex scenario, it is not surprising that the gut-liver axis could be also part of the regenerative mechanisms that, under certain circumstances, occur within the hepatic environment. This opinion paper aims to put together some of the evidences related to this thesis in order to consolidate it and give new insights about it.

This document reviews the relationship between the gut and kidney, known as the gut-kidney axis. It discusses how recent technological advances have improved understanding of the gut microbiome and its role in health and disease. The gut microbiome helps absorb nutrients, synthesize vitamins and enzymes, and produces short-chain fatty acids that support epithelial integrity and immunomodulation. Disruptions to the gut microbiome balance (known as dysbiosis) have been linked to various diseases. The review also briefly discusses the urinary microbiome and its role in urinary tract health. It suggests the gut microbiome can influence other body systems like the kidneys, and that disruptions to microbial communities may undermine their interactions with human cells and
Systems Nutrition of the Gut-Liver Axis and the Role of the MicrobiomeNorwich Research Park
This document summarizes a presentation on systems nutrition and the role of the gut-liver axis and microbiome. It discusses how the small intestine plays a key role in early pro-inflammatory disturbances by affecting the gut microbiota and their metabolites. The gut microbiota influences the intestinal and systemic metabolome and host metabolic regulation through transcription factors like PPARγ, FXR, and AHR. Beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila may lose benefits under certain dietary conditions like heme. Targeting the small intestine and microbiota with foods, bioactives, probiotics or drugs could improve gut and liver health.
The document discusses the role of gut microbiota in nutrition and health. It makes three key points:
1) The gut microbiota contributes nutrients and energy to the host through fermenting nondigestible dietary components, and maintains a balance with the host's metabolism and immune system in a healthy state.
2) Diet has a major influence on microbial community composition in both the short and long term, opening possibilities for manipulating health through diet.
3) There is significant interindividual variation in gut microbiota composition within populations that influences responses to drugs and diet. Achieving a better understanding of microbiota profiles that support health is important.
- Diet, physical exercise, and other factors can shape the composition of the human gut microbiome. A diet high in microbiota-accessible carbohydrates promotes a diverse microbiome that supports metabolic health. Physical exercise is also able to modify the gut microbiota in beneficial ways. Visceral fat accumulation has been linked to the microbiome, and diet and microbiota may synergistically impact host visceral fat mass. Recommendations include consuming a diet rich in fibers, vitamins, and minerals that require gut microbiota to aid absorption.

This document discusses the relationship between gut microbiota and diabetes. It begins by defining microbiota and describing the bacterial composition in different body sites. Environmental factors like breastfeeding, antibiotics, and diet impact the development of gut microbiota. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance in the normal microbiota, has been linked to various diseases like obesity, metabolic syndrome, and both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A high-fat diet can cause dysbiosis and metabolic endotoxemia, increasing inflammation and insulin resistance. Probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary fiber may help maintain a healthy microbiota and prevent diabetes. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the complex relationship between the gut, immune system, and development of
Human intestinal microbiome in health and diseasesarnab ghosh
This document summarizes research on the human intestinal microbiome. It discusses how culture-independent techniques have revealed the enormous diversity of microbes in the human gut. The gut microbiota plays important roles in immunity, metabolism, and other bodily functions, and imbalances are associated with various diseases. The composition of the gut microbiota changes over a person's lifetime from birth through adulthood and old age due to factors like mode of birth, diet, antibiotic use, and age-related immune changes. Understanding these dynamics may lead to new disease treatments targeting the gut microbiome.
This document discusses the role of probiotics in adult gastroenterology. It provides a brief history of probiotics dating back to Elie Metchnikof in 1908. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. The gut microbiota plays an important role in health, and probiotics may help treat or prevent conditions caused by microbial imbalances like infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, and liver diseases. Probiotics have demonstrated benefits, but their effects tend to be strain-specific and more research is still needed, especially for conditions like Crohn's disease. Safety concerns also exist for certain at-risk populations.
This document outlines the gastrointestinal tract structures and functions and the gastrointestinal immune system. It begins with an overview of the structures and functions of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon. It then discusses the immune tissue found in the gastrointestinal tract, including inductive sites like Peyer's patches and effector sites in the lamina propria. It also covers the innate immunity components in the gastrointestinal tract, such as mucosal barriers, antimicrobial peptides, Toll-like receptors, the intestinal microbiome, and immune cells.
1. The document discusses gut microbiota and its relationship to health. It provides background on methods used to study the microbiome, such as next generation sequencing and fecal transplantation.
2. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence microbiome composition are examined, including genetics, diet, medication, and disease states. Many diseases are associated with distinct microbiome profiles.
3. Studies of population cohorts explore the effects of various factors on the microbiome and identify biomarkers. Comparisons of healthy, IBS, and IBD groups show differences in taxonomic profiles and metabolic pathways between conditions.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits when colonize the gastrointestinal tract. The various microbial strains are now found to provide therapeutic effects through the metabolites they produce, digestion of dietary fibers, inhibition of pathogen adhesion, provide missing enzyme, maintaining homeostasis and also controlling brain activities which may lead to autism if disturbed.
A study found that consuming milk fat promotes growth of normally rare sulphate-reducing bacteria in mice, which stimulates harmful immune responses and causes more severe colitis in mice genetically prone to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Milk fat increases taurine-conjugated bile acids that feed these bacteria, namely Bilophilia wadsworthia, leading them to produce metabolites like hydrogen sulfide that damage the gut. These findings help explain how certain diets may influence IBD by altering the gut microbiome in genetically susceptible individuals.

1. The document discusses the role of nutrition challenges and sensing mechanisms in adaptation and disease. It summarizes research on how different diets affect gene expression, organ function, and disease development using mouse models.
2. One study found that a weekly alternating diet between calorie restriction and a medium-fat diet in mice protected the liver from fatty liver disease compared to mice fed a constant medium-fat or calorie-restricted diet.
3. The research suggests unsaturated fats may be more efficiently taken up in the small intestine, activating nutrient sensing pathways and preventing organ overload and early disease development, compared to saturated fats.
The document discusses the gut microbiota and its role in health and disease. In health, the gut microbiota forms a symbiotic relationship with the host, helping digest food, produce vitamins, and regulate the immune system. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance in the gut microbiota, is associated with various diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, and cancer. The gut microbiota influences disease by affecting barrier function, immune activation, and chronic inflammation.
The influence of intestinal microflora in development of diabetes type IIIvan Mindov
Recent studies show that the intestinal microflora has a significant influence on the development of type 2 diabetes. Variations in the intestinal microflora could positively or negatively impact development and protection against type 2 diabetes. The gut microbiota, an 'exteriorized organ', contributes to overall metabolism and the conversion of food into nutrients and energy, and imbalances in the gut microbiota are increasingly considered an important pathogenic factor in diseases like type 2 diabetes and obesity. Changes to the gut microbiota could be responsible for increased endotoxemia in response to a high-fat diet, triggering the development of obesity and diabetes.
Role of Gut Microbiota in Lipid MetabolismSharafat Ali
It has become widely appreciated that our gut symbionts play integral roles in human health since perturbations of this bacterial community or the products they can produce have been associated with increased susceptibility to a variety of diseases.
This document discusses the role of gut microbiota and dysbiosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It notes that dysbiosis, or an imbalance in gut bacteria, can lead to increased production of short-chain fatty acids which promote hepatic lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis. Dysbiosis also increases intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation, activating toll-like receptors and causing inflammation in the liver through cytokines and chemokines. Other effects include decreased levels of the fasting-induced adipose factor, increased lipoprotein lipase activity, and impaired choline and bile acid metabolism. Modulating the gut microbiota through prebiotics, probiotics, or fecal microbiota transplantation may be a potential

The document discusses the relationship between the gut and joints in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It suggests that gut-joint interactions are an important part of RA pathogenesis, as is becoming clearer. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome occurs before clinical onset of RA and likely influences disease development. This dysbiosis could open up new therapeutic opportunities, such as restoring microbial balance and preventing trafficking of immune cells from the gut to the joints. Considering the role of the gut-joint axis in RA pathogenesis offers possibilities for new early-stage treatments to reduce RA symptoms.

Research Progress of Intestinal Flora and High Fat Diet ObesityJohnJulie1
Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by an energy imbalance, which is becoming an increasingly prevalent and ubiquitous problem worldwide. Its cause is complex, including genetic factors, high fat diet, intestinal tract bacterium group. The effect of intestinal flora on obesity has been widely recognized in the past few years. This article reviews the possible mechanism of intestinal flora in the occurrence of obesity, then proposes a new idea for using intestinal flora to intervene obesity.
The document discusses the significance of the gut microbiome and potential roles of probiotics. It notes that the gut microbiome contains trillions of microbes and plays an important role in health, immunity, and metabolism. Factors like diet, lifestyle, antibiotics, and other medications can disrupt the normal gut microbiome and lead to dysbiosis, which has been linked to various conditions. Probiotics may help maintain a balanced gut microbiome and mitigate disruption through interactions with the immune system and production of metabolites. Future research could further explore probiotics and manipulation of gut flora to treat certain diseases.
Application Of Prebiotics And Probiotics In Poultry ProductionLori Mitchell
This document discusses the application of prebiotics and probiotics in poultry production. It summarizes that the intestinal microbiota provides resistance to enteric pathogens through mechanisms like competing for resources and stimulating the immune system. Probiotics and prebiotics are potential alternatives to antibiotics for disease resistance as they can encourage beneficial bacterial growth. Ideal probiotics and prebiotics should selectively encourage specific beneficial bacteria and positively impact the host. Research suggests prebiotics and probiotics may reduce pathogen colonization in poultry through competitive exclusion and immunomodulation.
This document discusses prebiotics and their effects on immunity. It begins with definitions of prebiotics provided by Gibson & Roberfroid and describes the criteria a substance must meet to be considered a prebiotic. It then discusses various types of prebiotics like inulin, fructooligosaccharides, trans-galactooligosaccharides and their structures and roles. The document also explores proposed mechanisms of how prebiotics may modulate immunity, such as by changing gut bacteria composition, producing short-chain fatty acids, increasing mucin production, and interacting with carbohydrate receptors. It provides examples of studies demonstrating immune effects of specific prebiotics.
This document discusses the relationship between diet, gut microbiome, and bone health. It summarizes that prebiotic fibers which are resistant to digestion can alter the gut microbiome by promoting the growth of bacteria like Bifidobacterium. This altered microbiome is correlated with increases in calcium absorption and measures of bone density and strength in animal and human studies. Specifically, soluble corn fiber was shown to increase fractional calcium absorption in adolescents which was correlated with changes in several gut bacteria genera involved in fiber fermentation. More research is still needed to fully understand the mechanisms and validate these findings.
The document discusses the relationship between the gut microbiota and obesity. It notes that obesity rates have more than doubled in the past 30 years due to shifts to western diets high in refined carbohydrates and processed foods. Research has found the gut microbiota plays a role in energy harvesting and fat storage, and influences susceptibility to metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity. Studies show a less diverse gut microbiota, as measured by lower bacterial gene counts, is associated with increased adiposity, insulin resistance, and inflammation - risk factors for obesity and related diseases. Diet-induced changes to the gut microbiota may perpetuate obesity by disturbing host metabolism.
2018 Advances in Probiotic Regulation of Bone and Mineral Metabolism.pdfRafaelSoares161650
This document discusses advances in understanding how probiotics can regulate bone and mineral metabolism. It summarizes that probiotics have been consumed for thousands of years and reside in the gastrointestinal tract where they can modify the microbiota composition and intestinal barrier function, resulting in benefits to bone health. Specifically, probiotics may benefit bone through multiple potential mechanisms including modifying the intestinal microbiome, improving intestinal barrier function, and impacting immune cells involved in bone remodeling. Future studies are still needed to further identify the specific mechanisms of how probiotics signal from the gut to the bone to provide benefits.
remodelling of the intestinal ecosystem during caloric restriction or fasting...SunilKumar865955
The document discusses the effects of fasting on the gut microbiome and intestinal tissues. It finds that fasting leads to profound remodeling of the intestinal epithelium and changes in immune function and inflammation. This remodeling contributes to changes in the gut microbiota as fasting induces a metabolic switch from utilizing glucose to fatty acids. Intermittent fasting is shown to increase protective gut bacteria and reduce markers of intestinal inflammation and injury. Fasting also increases colonization resistance against pathogens and favorably modulates metabolic parameters important for cancer treatment.
The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in maintaining our health, with its balance and diversity being key to overall well-being. Dysbiosis, or disruptions in this delicate ecosystem, can lead to a range of harmful effects on the body, including digestive problems, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and increased risks of various diseases. Recognizing the significance of gut health and adopting practices that promote a balanced microbiota, such as a healthy diet and lifestyle choices, is crucial for optimizing our physical and even mental health.The gut microbiota is a vast and complex collection of microorganisms that profoundly affects human health.The gut microbiota assists in a range of bodily functions, including:
harvesting energy from digested food
protecting against pathogens
regulating immune function
strengthening biochemical barriers of the gut and intestine

Type 2 Diabetes is a debilitating metabolic disorder which is also the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. Current therapeutic regimes to date have failed to achieve significant long-term glycemic control even with intensive insulin therapy as revealed by deregulated Hb1Ac and C-peptides levels. In the current study, we have evaluated the effect of regenerative cellular therapy for functional recovery from Diabetic pathophysiology. 10 patients with a median age of 51 years were selected for the study and subjected to bone marrow isolation. These samples were processed under sterile conditions for the enrichment of mononuclear cells (BM MNCs) from bone marrow. After strict quality control and characterization of cells, 2 x 106 cells/kg of BM MNCs were infused back into the patient through the anterior pancreaticoduodenal artery.

Regenerative Medicine: A Multidisciplinary Approach to a Complex Problem_Crim...CrimsonpublishersITERM
Despite the successful progresses in organ transplant, the organs shortage and the long waiting lists make it of the most challenging issues of our times. In fact, just a small percentage of patients receive transplants [1,2]. while every day around 18 people die waiting for them [3]. The possibility to create de novo tissues and organs and/or to promote their regeneration is of prominent interest in the research community. In the last years, many innovative approaches have been introduced and new technological advancements are undergoing. Currently, the most diffused methodologies rely on regenerative medicine, that combines the use of stem cells, stimulated with specific factors, and scaffolds, where cells can grow to substitute damaged tissues, inducing their repair and improving their functions [4]. Scaffolds possess a defined structure, with precise pore size and distribution [5,6], and determined mechanical properties which can tackle stress ensuring biological interconnections [7]. Regenerative medicine combines different disciplines, such as chemistry, physics, biology and tissue engineering to obtain functional materials. In this minireview, we will focus on the materials and fabrication methods that are used to prepare the scaffolds, the type of cells that are commonly used for regeneration, and finally the current advances in clinical approval.
Tissue Engineering and Human Regenerative Therapies in Space: Benefits for Ea...CrimsonpublishersITERM
Living and working in space presents many challenges for maintenance of optimal human physiology and psychology. The physical effects of microgravity and increased radiation exposure together with the psychological effects of isolation on human beings pose problems which are under intense investigation by global space agencies, corporate and academic research institutions. An unsurmountable challenge, at least today, for deep space exploration and colonisation (DSEC) is the longevity of human lifespan and the potential for organ system dysfunction which may lead to premature death and mission termination in the absence of bio-reparative capabilities. The unique nature of microgravity encountered in space provides both a challenge and an opportunity for regenerative medicine that cannot be fully replicated on Earth. This minireview describes some recent advances in the use of stem cells, tissue engineering and the potential for 3D bioprinting in space as future concepts for consideration in the design of missions supporting longer term space exploration and colonisation.
From 3D Cell Culture System to Personalized Medicine in Osteosarcoma_Crimson ...CrimsonpublishersITERM
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy presenting typically during childhood and adolescence. However, few improvements of the survival outcomes for osteosarcoma patients have been achieved since the last three decades. Despite the rarity of the diagnosis, the complexity of tumor microenvironment and the genetic heterogeneity of osteosarcoma remain the major obstacles to understanding the mechanisms involved in tumor progression and metastasis, and to screening the pharmacologically active molecules for better drugs. Compared to the 2D cell culture system, 3D cell culture system is much closer to the in vivo physiological condition in tumor. Thus, 3D cell culture system could be a powerful technique to screen therapeutic agent towards personalized medicine in osteosarcoma.
Advances and Innovations and Impediments in Tissue Engineering and Regenerati...CrimsonpublishersITERM
This document summarizes recent advances, innovations, and challenges in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Three-dimensional printing and bioprinting technologies have shown promise in fabricating tissue scaffolds and engineered tissues, but challenges remain around printing resolution and speed. Four-dimensional bioprinting allows shape-changing structures in response to stimuli and could be useful for in vivo studies. While engineered tissues have replicated some organ functions in vitro, fully functional vascularized organs remain a long-term goal. Regulatory frameworks need revisions to adequately assess new regenerative therapies and balance innovation with safety. Overall, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have improved medical research and applications, but continued technology development and regulatory support are needed to fully realize

Comparison of the Acute Hypervolemic Capacities of Erythropoietin and U-74389...CrimsonpublishersITERM
Aim: This study compared the hyper volemic capacities of erythropoietin (Epo) and antioxidant drug U-74389G based on 2 preliminary studies. The provided results at mean corpuscular volumes (MCV) levels augmentation were co-evaluated in a hypoxia re oxygenation protocol of an animal model.
Materials and methods: MCV levels (MCVl) were evaluated at the 60th reoxygenation min (for groups A, C and E) and at the 120th reoxygenation min (for groups B, D and F) in 60 rats. Groups A and B received no drugs, rats from groups C and D were administered with Epo; whereas rats from groups E and F were administered with U-74389G.
Results: The first preliminary study of Epo non-significantly increased the MCVl by 0.30%+0.39% (p-value=0.4430). However, the second preliminary study of U-74389G significantly rised the MCVl by 1.60%+0.43% (p-value=0.0005). These 2 studies were co-evaluated since they came from the same experimental setting. The outcome of the co-evaluation was that U-74389G has 4.352528-fold hypervolemic potency than Epo (p-value=0.0000).
Conclusion: The anti-oxidant capacities of U-74389G accelerate the acute hypervolemic properties; presenting 4.352528-fold rise on MCVl than epo (p-value=0.0000)

Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
