Gut microbiome is integral to the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. A novel probiotic Lactobacillus intestinalis (L. intestinalis) exerts a protective effect against dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in mice.

The characteristics of FD overlap in Chinese population with latest Rome IV criteria were unclear. This large-scale outpatient-based study assessed the characteristics of FD overlap in South China.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFImbalance of gut microbiota homeostasis is related to the occurrence of ulcerative colitis (UC), and probiotics are thought to modulate immune microenvironment and repair barrier function. Here, in order to reveal the interaction between UC and gut microbiota, we screened a new probiotic strain by 16S rRNA sequencing from Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice, and explored the mechanism and clinical relevance. (), as a potential anti-inflammatory bacterium was decreased colonization in colitis mice.

- The study assessed the feasibility of using three-dimensional ultrasound with VOCAL technology to monitor fetal intracranial volume and analyze brain growth in normal fetuses.
- Involving 821 pregnant women across different gestational weeks, the study found a strong correlation between intracranial volume and gestational age, as well as with biparietal diameter and head circumference.
- Results indicated that normal fetal brain volume consistently increased during pregnancy, achieving over a 10-times growth by the second and third trimesters, with VOCAL technology showing solid repeatability for these measurements.
Aim: To determine whether fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) affects visceral sensitivity, inflammation, and production of intestinal short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in an irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) mouse model.
Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to daily oral gavage of saline solution with or without FOS (8 g/kg body weight) for 14 d. Mice were further assigned to receive either daily one-hour water avoidance stress (WAS) or sham-WAS for the first 10 d.
Objective: To probe into a treatment method for increasing clinical therapeutic effect on xerophthalmia.
Methods: Forty-five cases were randomly divided into acupuncture group 1, acupuncture group 2 and control group. The acupuncture group 1 were treated with acupuncture based on syndrome types, and the acupuncture group 2 with acupuncture at local acupoints, and the control group with dripping of artificial tears.
