The intestinal epithelium is derived from intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and has direct contact with nutrients and toxins. However, whether methionine (Met) or a methionine hydroxyl analogue (2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (HMB)) can alleviate deoxynivalenol (DON)-induced intestinal injury remains unknown. Mice were treated orally with Met or HMB on days 1-11 and with DON on days 4-8. On day 12, the mice were sacrificed, and the jejunum was collected for crypt isolation and culture. Mouse enteroids were treated with DON and Met or HMB ex vivo. The results showed that Met and HMB increased the average daily feed intake and average daily gain of the mice. Met and HMB also improved the jejunal structure and barrier integrity and promoted ISC expansion, as indicated by the increased enteroid formation efficiency and area, under DON-induced injury conditions. In addition, DON-induced decreases in ISC activity were rescued Wnt/β-catenin signaling reactivation by Met or HMB in vivo and ex vivo. Collectively, our findings reveal that Met and HMB alleviated DON-induced intestinal injury by improving ISC expansion and reactivating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Our study thus provides a nutritional intervention for intestinal diseases involving Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Background: The independent associations of physical activity (PA), sleep duration (SL), and screen time (ST) with health outcome measures have been well-documented among children and adolescents, but not in youth with moderate/severe ADHD. To this end, the present study aimed to investigate the associations between three components within 24-hour movement behaviour (24-HMB) framework and core symptoms and school engagement in youth with moderate/severe ADHD.

Methods: This study used pooled data from the 2021-2022 U.

Background: Adherence to the World Health Organization's 24-hour movement behavior (24-HMB) guidelines is associated with various health outcomes. However, its relationship with bone mineral density (BMD) in young children has not been investigated. This study aimed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between adherence to the 24-HMB guidelines and BMD in young children.

Article Synopsis
  • Adenomyosis is a uterine condition that can cause painful periods, abnormal bleeding, and discomfort during sex, affecting young women's fertility and overall well-being.
  • Recent studies show that this condition is being diagnosed more often in adolescents, particularly those with severe menstrual pain and heavy bleeding.
  • A review of five studies found that 25-45% of young women (ages 12-25) with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain were diagnosed with adenomyosis, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to consider this diagnosis in similar cases.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study examined how following the 24-hour movement behavior guidelines (which include physical activity, reduced screen time, and sufficient sleep) affects the quality of life (QOL) for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
  • - Out of 1073 participants, only a small percentage adhered to all movement behavior guidelines, and those who did reported significantly higher QOL scores compared to those who did not follow any guidelines.
  • - The research found that the benefits of meeting these guidelines were most notable in adolescents who didn't experience back pain and who had a positive self-image, emphasizing the need for healthy lifestyle habits.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed the prevalence of U.S. youth, aged 6-17 and prescribed eyeglasses/contact lenses, meeting 24-hour movement behavior (24-HMB) guidelines, which include recommendations for physical activity, screen time, and sleep.
  • Results showed only 6.57% of participants met all three guidelines, while over 23% did not meet any, pointing to a significant gap in health behavior among this demographic.
  • The analysis also revealed demographic variations, with females and Hispanic youth less likely to meet multiple guidelines, highlighting potential areas for targeted interventions.
