Background And Aims: Oral administration of acetic acid, a short-chain fatty acid, has been shown to efficiently reduce obesity and insulin resistance in both experimental animals and humans. The anti-atherosclerotic effect of acetate is expected owing to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress characteristics; however, this remains to be fully understood.

Methods: For 12 weeks, apolipoprotein E-deficient mice were administered 0.

Background: The effect of labor epidural anesthesia (LEA) on the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in offspring has been investigated recently, and available results are inconsistent.

Methods: We searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases for relevant studies and performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature. Subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the sources of heterogeneity.

Background: Growing evidence indicates that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and dementia share similar pathological mechanisms, but no consensus has yet emerged on the effect that IBD and dementia are associated. To explore such a possible correlation, we summarize herein the epidemiological evidence. We subject relevant studies to meta-analysis.

Background: The study sought to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the risk of colorectal adenoma or cancer in patients with microscopic colitis (MC).

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and EMBASE databases was performed. Pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to examine the effect of MC on the risk of colorectal adenoma or cancer.

Background: Growing evidence suggests that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) share similar pathological mechanisms and risk factors.

Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence for a relationship between IBS and PD. Risk estimates from individual studies were pooled using random-effects models.

Background: Numerous studies have suggested that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) might be associated with increased risk of miscarriage. However, these results are conflicting and inconclusive.

Methods: We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the relationship between NSAIDs exposure and risk of miscarriage.

Receptor-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. Herein, we report our effort on the discovery, optimization, and evaluation of benzothiazole and benzimidazole derivatives as novel inverse agonists of RORγ. The representative compound (designated as XY123) potently inhibited the RORγ transcription activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) value of 64 nM and showed excellent selectivity against other nuclear receptors.

Article Synopsis
  • * It analyzed data from 19 observational studies, revealing that any infection heightened the risk of developing CD later in life, with antibiotics also contributing to this risk.
  • * The findings suggest that early exposure to infections or antibiotics may disrupt gut health and immune function, leading to increased chances of CD, but alternative explanations for the associations cannot be completely ruled out.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been proven to effectively protect against HPV infection and infection-associated cancer. However, there are concerns about the relationship between HPV vaccination and the risk of autoimmune disorders (ADs). Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the relationship between HPV vaccination and ADs risk.

We report the design, optimization, and biological evaluation of nuclear receptor RORγ inverse agonists as therapeutic agents for prostate cancer treatment. The most potent compound 27 (designated as XY101) exhibited cellular activity with an IC value of 30 nM in a cell-based reporter gene assay with good selectivity against other nuclear receptor subtypes. The cocrystal structure of 27 in complex with the RORγ ligand binding domain provided a solid structural basis for its antagonistic mechanism.
