The intestinal microecology is an extremely complex ecosystem consisting of gut microbiota, intestinal mucosa and the intestinal immune system. The intestinal microecology performs several important functions and is considered to be an essential 'organ' because it plays an important role in regulating human metabolism. Fucoidan contains a large amount of fucose and galactose residues, as well as various other neutral and acidic monosaccharides. Fucoidan particularly effects tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes and obesity by repairing intestinal mucosal damage and improving the intestinal microecological environment. It has been proposed that fucoidan could be used as a prebiotic agent for pharmaceutical and functional foods. In this review, we elucidate the potential mechanisms of the metabolic regulation of fucoidan with respect to the intestinal microecology of diseases. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Introduction: In Crohn's disease (CD), lesions are mainly distributed in a segmental manner, with the primary sites of involvement being the ileum and colon. Heterogeneity in colon and ileum results in location-specific clinical presentations and therapeutic responses. Mucosal healing tends to be more readily and quickly achieved in the colon than in the ileum, where lesions are more likely to develop into complex behaviors.

Trichinellosis, a zoonotic disease transmitted through food and caused by , is a significant health concern worldwide. Therefore, developing a safe and effective vaccine to combat infection is essential. In this study, a nonantibiotic strain lacking the gene served as a live bacterial vector to deliver antigens to the host, creating a novel oral vaccine.

Organ transplantation is a vital intervention for end-stage organ failure; however, ischemia-reperfusion injury is a complication of transplantation, affecting the prognosis and survival of transplant recipients. As a complex ecosystem, recent research has highlighted the role of the intestinal microecology in transplantation, revealing its significant interplay with ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review explores the interaction between ischemia-reperfusion injury and intestinal microecology, with a special focus on how ischemia-reperfusion injury affects intestinal microecology and how these microecological changes contribute to complications after organ transplantation, such as infection and rejection.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome of multiorgan failure caused by dysregulation of the host response to infection and is a major cause of death in critically ill patients. In recent years, with the continuous development of sequencing technology, the intestinal microecology of this disease has been increasingly studied. The gut microbiota plays a host-protective role mainly through the maintenance of normal immune function and the intestinal barrier.

Hyperuricemic nephropathy is one of the important complications of hyperuricemia, which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients. The pathogenesis of hyperuricemic nephropathy involves a variety of factors, including: amino acid metabolism disorder, energy metabolism abnormality, increased nucleotide metabolism, lipid metabolism disorder and bile acid metabolism imbalance, REDOX process disorder, cell cycle and apoptosis imbalance, signal transduction and inflammatory response enhancement, and intestinal flora imbalance.
