Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most typical lethal cancers. One of the main factors for better outcomes in CRC management is the early detection of the disease. As an integral component of human metabolism and homeostasis, gut microbiome has recently been a subject of extensive research for its role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of CRC. Microbial dysbiosis (the decrease in beneficial gut flora and the increase of detrimental populations) leads to chronic inflammation and genetic alteration in the host cells, triggering and promoting CRC carcinogenesis. Identifying these microbial changes in depth would potentially isolate the pathogenic microbiota species and establish biomarker models for early detection of CRC. On the other hand, modifying these microbial changes would help formulate preventative and therapeutic strategies for CRC, developing a more precise CRC management plan according to each patient's microbial print. This essay explains gut microbiome composition, microbial changes (dysbiosis) in CRC carcinogenesis, the probability of creating microbiome-based CRC biomarkers, and potential microbiome-targeted treatment options.

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a prevalent infectious condition in children. This study aimed to assess the regulatory effects of Re-Du-Ning on the intestinal microflora of pediatric patients with HFMD.
Methods: Fecal samples were collected from children affected by HFMD, who were diagnosed at the traditional Chinese medicine pediatrics outpatient and emergency departments of Liuzhou Women and Children's Healthcare Hospital, as well as from healthy children undergoing physical examinations at the same hospital during the same period.

Background: Oral microbiome homeostasis is important for children's health, and microbial community is affected by anesthetics. The application of anesthetics in children's oral therapy has become a relatively mature method. This study aims to investigate the effect of different anesthesia techniques on children's oral microbiota.

Although disturbances in the gut microbiome have been implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS), little is known about the changes and interactions between the gut microbiome and blood metabolome, and how these changes affect disease-modifying therapy (DMT) in preventing the progression of MS. In this study, the structure and composition of the gut microbiota were evaluated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and an untargeted metabolomics approach was used to compare the serum metabolite profiles from patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and healthy controls (HCs). Results indicated that RRMS was characterized by phase-dependent α-phylogenetic diversity and significant disturbances in serum glycerophospholipid metabolism.

Soil health and One Health are global concerns, necessitating the development of refined indicators for effective monitoring. In response, we present the Anaconda R Package, a novel tool designed to enhance the analysis of eDNA data for biomonitoring purposes. Employing a combination of different approaches, this package allows for a comprehensive investigation of species abundance and community composition under diverse conditions.
