AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to create a fluorescent multiple amplification system for identifying species using 16S rRNA and Cytb genes from mitochondrial DNA.
  • Primers for these genes were designed, and samples from humans and five animal species were analyzed using a Genetic Analyzer, revealing a common product size and unique sizes for each species.
  • The results showed that this system effectively differentiates humans from five common animal species based on amplified DNA products.

Article Abstract

Objective: To establish a fluorescent multiple amplification system of 16S rRNA and Cytb genes located in mitochondrial DNA for species identification.

Methods: A pair of primers of 16S rRNA gene and Cytb gene of the mitochondrial DNA was designed with the software Primer 5.0 to construct a multiple amplification system. The amplified products from human and five species of animals, including cattle, pig, dog, chicken and grass carp were analyzed by 310 Genetic Analyzer.

Results: The amplified products of these samples showed two peaks. The common one was 358bp and the specific one different in unique species was between 231bp and 256bp.

Conclusion: The multiplex amplification system can exactly distinguish the species of human from five common animals.

Background And Aims: Oral microbiota may contribute to the development of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) disorders. We aimed to study the association between the microbiome of saliva, subgingival and buccal mucosa, and UGI disorders, particularly precancerous lesions. We also aimed to determine which oral site might serve as the most effective biomarker for UGI disorders.

Biliary stent occlusion is due, in part, to biofilm formation by bacteria. However, previous culture-based approaches may not have revealed all microorganisms on the surface. Twenty-seven patients underwent endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage for the removal or replacement of plastic biliary stents.

Increasing evidence suggests that dysbiosis of gut microbiota exacerbates chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Curcumin (CUR) has been reported to alleviate renal fibrosis in animal models of CKD. However, the relationship between CUR and gut microbiome in CKD remains unclear.

Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and irreversible interstitial lung disease characterized by a lack of effective therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant interest in the realm of lung regeneration due to their abundant availability, ease of isolation, and capacity for expansion. The objective of our study was to investigate the potential therapeutic role of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in the management of PF, with a focus on the alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites during the use of UC-MSCs for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the possible mechanisms involved.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore the alteration of microbiota and SCFA in gut and inflammation in acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients, and to test the hypothesis that a disorder of gut microbiota will lead to the alteration of SCFA, which will aggravate inflammation in AECOPD patients.

Methods And Results: 24 patients with AECOPD and 18 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Gut microbiota were analyzed by 16S rDNA and serum was used to detect levels of inflammatory factors by ELISA.
