Objective: To observe the effect of intestinal probiotics in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the effect on liver function and inflammatory factors.

Methods: 34 healthy rats were selected for the study and divided into 10 rats in the control group, 12 rats in the model group, and 12 rats in the treatment group according to the random number table method. The control group was given behavioral and lifestyle interventions, and the treatment group was given Bifidobacterium minus Black enteric capsules 5 g/(kg-d) by strong feeding method on the basis of the control group. The fatty liver index (FLI), liver ultrasound examination results, liver function, and inflammatory factor levels were compared among the three groups. After 8 weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant differences between the FLI values and liver ultrasound results of the three groups, and the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triacylglycerol (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels of the observation group were lower than those of the control group and the model group. The levels of serum high molecular weight lipocalin (HMW-APN) and interleukin 22 (IL-22) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) were lower than those in the control and model groups, and the differences were statistically significant ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: Intestinal probiotics can improve the clinical efficacy of patients with NAFLD, improve liver function, and alleviate the inflammatory response, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of patients with NAFLD.

Obesity can change the immune microenvironment of adipose tissue and induce inflammation. This study is dedicated to exploring the internal mechanism by which different intensities of exercise reprogram the immune microenvironment of epididymal adipose tissue in nutritionally obese mice. C57BL/6J male obese mouse models were constructed by high-fat diet, which were respectively obese control group (OC), moderate intensity continuous exercise group (HF-M), high intensity continuous exercise group (HF-H) and high intensity intermittent exercise group (HF-T).

Importance: Caries is the most common chronic childhood disease, with substantial health disparities.

Objective: To test whether parent-targeted oral health text (OHT) messages outperform child wellness text (CWT) messages on pediatric caries increment and oral health behaviors among underserved children attending pediatric well-child visits.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The parallel randomized clinical trial, Interactive Parent-Targeted Text Messaging in Pediatric Clinics to Reduce Caries Among Urban Children (iSmile), included participants who were recruited during pediatric medical clinic visits at 4 sites in Boston, Massachusetts, that serve low-income and racially and ethnically diverse (herein, underserved) populations.
