Histo-blood group antigen contains oligosaccharides that serve as receptors for norovirus (NoV) and rotavirus (RV). The receptors are only present on the surface of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells of secretors; therefore, secretors are susceptible to NoV and RV diarrhea and nonsecretors are resistant. The prevalence of secretors in different countries varies between 50% and 90%. Secretor rates evolved in response to environmental pressures such as infectious diseases.

Absolute quantification of eight human milk oligosaccharides in breast milk to evaluate their concentration profiles and associations with infants' neurodevelopmental outcomes.
J Food Sci

Food Microbiology and Function Research Laboratory, Meiji Co., Ltd., Hachioji, Japan.
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have been positively associated with child neurodevelopment in some cohort studies. However, there is a lack of consistency in the association between HMOs and benefits to infants' brains. Moreover, the quantification methods for HMOs have not yet been standardized.

Article Synopsis
- ABH antigens on red blood cells determine blood types (A, B, AB, O) and are also present in various body fluids; individuals with these antigens in their fluids are known as secretors.
- A study in Shillong, India, assessed salivary secretor status in 250 healthy adults, revealing a 57.2% prevalence, with notable trends linked to age, sex, tribe, and blood groups.
- Findings highlight the forensic potential of saliva in identifying blood groups, which can assist in legal matters related to paternity, immigration, and disaster victim identification, as it can be more readily available than blood samples.

Human milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are a major component in human milk and recognized to play an important role in modulating gut microbiota, intestinal cell response, and the development of the brain and immune system. While HMOs levels from Chinese mothers across different regions of China have been reported, data from Hebei are lacking. Twelve HMOs were measured from a cross-section of Hebei Han mothers over a 15-month lactation period.

Article Synopsis
- * An analysis of 302 pregnant women revealed that non-secretors with certain types of bacterial diversity had shorter gestational periods, particularly in those with depleted bacterial types early in pregnancy.
- * The findings suggest that secretor status and the expression of blood-group antigens play a crucial role in the interaction between vaginal microbiota and pregnancy outcomes, especially regarding preterm birth risks.
