The aim of the study was to analyze fecal volatile organic compounds in premature babies born with a weight of less than 1,500 grams in order to identify predictors of BPD. The study presents the results of the study in parallel groups, which are represented by premature babies born with a weight of less than 1500 grams. In the course of scientific work, 137 children were examined, from which stool samples were taken on the 14th and 28th days of life to detect VOCs using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The Torion T-9 GC / MS was used to separate and identify the VOCs present in the feces of the subjects. After sampling, these children were further divided into two groups: group I (main) - children who realized BPD (n=89) and group II (control) - children who did not realize BPD (n=48). During the study, 28 VOCs were found in the feces of the subjects on the 14th and 28th days of life, among which the three most significant were identified, among them tetradecane, N-nitrosopyrrolidine, and trichloretene.

Studies have shown that gut microbiota (GM) and its metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are associated with the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). This study explored the clinical and laboratory evidence of the relationship of GM and SCFAs to PMO and attempted to determine the potential mechanism of action. 18 patients (Collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University between January 2021 and August 2021) were included in this retrospective study, including 10 PMO women and 8 healthy young women as the healthy control (HC) group from Guangzhou, China.

To explore the mechanism by which vinegar-processed Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix regulates gut microbiota and reduces intestinal toxicity, this study aimed to identify key microbial communities related to vinegar-induced detoxification and verify their functions. Using a derivatization method, the study measured the content of short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs) in feces before and after vinegar-processing of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix. Combined with the results of previous gut microbiota sequencing, correlation analysis was used to identify key microbial communities related to SCFAs content.

The relationship between the gut microbiota (GM) and the health of human beings has been a topic of growing interest in the last few years. Legumes are a rich source of indigestible carbohydrates, including resistant starch (RS), which are substrates of the GM. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the indigestible fraction of legumes on the fecal microbiota of normal-weight (NW) and obese (O) donors.

Methane emissions from ruminant digestion contribute significantly to global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Members of the phylum Rhodophyta (red algae), particularly Asparagopsis sp., have shown promising results in reducing methane emissions in ruminants, due to their high content of halogenated methane analog compounds.
