To understand the microbial social behaviors regulated by acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) in the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) during the restored process after a shock loading, the correlation analyses of AHLs and components of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), AHLs genes and microbes, and AHLs and microbes were investigated. The results showed that the performance could be restored by regulating influent organic loading rate stage-by-stage. A variation in microbial community and endogenous AHLs was also found during the restoration process. It was found that C-HSL had improved the synthesis of protein in EPS and resulted in better aggregation of microbes. C-HSL, as well as C-HSL and 3-oxoC-HSL, could prompt the metabolism of acidogenic fermentation bacteria. While 3-oxoC-HSL was identified as the key signal molecule in enhancing methanogenesis. The present work advanced the understanding of microbial social behaviors and provided an attractive strategy for the restoration of anaerobic digestion after shock loadings.

Gut microbiome differences in individuals with PTSD compared to trauma-exposed controls: a systematic review.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common mental health disorder that can occur following exposure to a traumatic event, and is characterized by symptoms including intrusive memories, dissociation, and nightmares. PTSD poses significant suffering on the individual and can reduce quality of life substantially, however, its mechanisms are not fully understood. It has also been associated with gut abnormalities, such as with irritable bowel syndrome, indicating possible involvement of the gut microbiome and gut-brain axis.

Background: Current guidelines for the treatment of multidrug-resistant/rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) are based on clinical trials evaluating fixed duration regimens. However, when a regimen succeeds, it remains unknown whether a shorter duration could yield the same results. Similarly, if a regimen fails, it is unclear whether extending the treatment could improve outcomes.

Background: Individuals raised in an urban environment (URBANs) show an exaggerated inflammatory response to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) compared with individuals raised in a rural environment. The underlying mechanisms are unclear but may relate to childhood animal contact. As an exaggerated immune (re)activity plays a causal role in the pathogenesis of stress-associated disorders, these findings might explain the higher prevalence of stress-associated disorders in urban vs.

Social status is closely linked to physiological and psychological states. Loss of social dominance can lead to brain disorders such as depression, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The gut microbiota can sense stress and contribute to brain disorders via the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA).
