Associations between gut microbiota and osteoporosis or osteopenia in a cohort of Chinese Han youth.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mass and microstructural deterioration of bone. Changes in the composition and structure of gut microbiota (GM) are related to changes of bone mass and bone microstructure. However, the relationship between GM and bone mineral density (BMD) is complex, and data are especially scarce for Chinese Han youth.

The novel probiotic preparation based on Lactobacillus spp. mixture on the intestinal bacterial community structure of Cherry Valley duck.

The development and utilization of probiotics have many environmental benefits when they are used to replace antibiotics in animal production. In this study, intestinal lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the intestines of Cherry Valley ducks. Probiotic lactic acid bacterial strains were screened for antibacterial activity and tolerance to produce a Lactobacillus spp.

Association of gene polymorphisms and intestinal microbiota in Chinese Han adolescents.

Gut microbiota are closely related to health, and the β2-adrenergic receptor () gene is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. However, little is known about the relationship between gene polymorphisms and intestinal microbiota. In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between gene polymorphisms and gut microbiota in Chinese Han adolescents.

Intestinal Microbiota of Wintering in Two Lakes in the Middle and Lower Yangtze River Floodplain.

The intestinal microbiota of migratory birds participate in the life activities of the host and are affected by external environmental factors. The difference in habitat environment provides diversity in external environmental selection pressure for the same overwintering waterfowl, which may be reflected in their intestinal microbiota. Caizi lake and Shengjin Lake in the Middle and Lower Yangtze River Floodplain are the main habitats for migratory waterfowl in winter, especially the ().

Lactobacillus fermentum 1.2133 display probiotic potential in vitro and protect against Salmonella pullorum in chicken of infection.

The efficacy of Lactobacillus as an antibiotic substitute has been investigated as one of the potential strategies to prevent Salmonella infection in poultry. The purpose of this study was to explore the antibacterial activity of Lactobacillus fermentum 1.2133 (Lact.

Effect of S5 Intervention on Intestinal Microbiota Composition of Chickens Challenged with .

To understand the mechanism of lactic acid bacteria against Salmonella enteritidis infection; we examined how lactic acid bacteria regulated the intestinal microbiota to resist infection by pathogenic bacteria. The probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri S5 was used to construct an animal model of S. enteritidis infected broilers.

Antagonistic activity and mechanism of SQ511 against .

is an important food-borne pathogen. The use of antibiotics is a serious threat to animal and human health, owing to the existence of resistant strains and drug residues. Lactic acid bacteria, as a new alternative to antibiotics, has attracted much attention.

Biological characteristics and whole-genome analysis of the potential probiotic, Lactobacillus reuteri S5.

Lactic acid bacteria are micro-organisms used for probiotic purposes and form major parts of human and mammalian intestinal microbiota, exerting important health-promoting effects on the host. Here, we evaluated Lactobacillus reuteri strain S5 isolated from the intestines of healthy white feather broilers. Lactobacillus reuteri S5 grew best after 20 h of incubation in MRS medium.

The ion-imprinted oyster shell material for targeted removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution.

In order to realize the sustainable utilization of waste oyster shell and develop a targeted removal technology for cadmium. A novel ion-imprinted oyster shell material (IIOS) was prepared by surface imprinting technique. The prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope, Fourier infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, thermogravimetric analysis and N adsorption-desorption.

Acid-sensitive and L61-crosslinked hyaluronic acid nanogels for overcoming tumor drug-resistance.

Low intracellular drugs concentration is one of the main representations of multidrug resistance (MDR), which often results in a weak or failed chemotherapy on cancer treatment. Herein, an acid-sensitive and pluronic L61-linked hyaluronic acid nanogels (HA-L61OE/NGs) were developed for solving this problem. The nanogels could well hold more drugs under neutral condition, while triggering efficiently drugs release (61.

Analysis of high-throughput sequencing for cecal microbiota diversity and function in hens under different rearing systems.

Rearing systems play an important role in animal welfare, health and the composition of the gut microbiome. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different rearing systems on the composition and function of cecal microbiota in chickens. The 120-day-old Lohmann hens of cage rearing systems (CRS) and free-range systems (FRS) were studied.

Effects of probiotics on cecal microbiome profile altered by duck Escherichia coli 17 infection in Cherry Valley ducks.

Avian colibacillosis is one of the most serious infectious bacterial diseases that endanger the modern poultry industry. Lactobacillus is believed to inhibit intestinal pathogens and maintain a healthy gut microbiota. This study aimed to investigate Lactobacillus supplementation in Cherry Valley ducks to prevent the intestinal flora dysbiosis caused by Duck Escherichia coli 17.

Antagonistic trait of Lactobacillus reuteri S5 against Salmonella enteritidis and assessment of its potential probiotic characteristics.

Salmonella enteritidis is an important foodborne pathogen that has caused multiple outbreaks of infection associated with poultry and egg consumption. Thus, the prevention and inhibition of Salmonella enteritidis infection are of great concern. Lactic acid bacteria have anti-pathogenic activity; however, their underlying mechanisms and modes of action have not yet been clarified.

Comparative metagenomic sequencing analysis of cecum microbiotal diversity and function in broilers and layers.

The composition of the gastrointestinal microorganisms in poultry is closely associated with the host and its environment. In this study, using 16S rRNA and metagenomic techniques, we comprehensively analyzed the structure and diversity of the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens (BC) and laying hens (LH). The 16S rRNA sequencing analysis showed Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria were the main cecal bacterial phyla in BC and LH.
