Coeliac disease (CD) is associated with alterations in gut microbiota composition. This study evaluated the effects of probiotics on gut microbiota composition and clinical symptoms of treated CD patients. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial study, 31 CD patients that were randomly classified as probiotics (n = 15) and placebo (n = 16) groups received 10 colony-forming units/capsule for 12 weeks. Fecal samples were collected before and after probiotics, or placebo administration and the changes in intestinal microbiota were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. Probiotic administration improved the patients' clinical symptoms when compared to the placebo group. Fatigue score was significantly reduced by the intake of probiotic supplements (P = 0.02). Except for spp., the relative abundances of , spp., spp., cluster I, , and were higher in probiotics group. Accordingly, a 12-week multi-strain probiotic treatment regimen may modify the composition of intestinal microbiota and improve GI symptoms in CD patients.

Background: Difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2T RA) refers to a subset of patients who fail to achieve adequate disease control after the use of two or more biological or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) with different mechanisms of action, while maintaining active inflammatory disease. This presents a therapeutic challenge and highlights the need to explore contributing factors such as the potential role of the gut microbiota. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the gut microbiota and inflammation in patients with D2T RA in comparison to patients with easy-to-treat RA (E2T RA).

Introduction: The beneficial effects of probiotics are encountered by their low viability in gastrointestinal conditions and their insufficient stability during manufacturing, throughut the gastrointestinal transit, and storage. Therefore, novel systems are highly required to improve probiotics delivery.

Methods: In this study, Lactobacillus gasseri (L), Bifidobacterium bifidum (B), and a combination of L+B were encapsulated in chitosan (CS)-polyacrylic acid (PAA) complex systems (CS-PAA).

Background: Serovar Typhimurium (. Typhimurium) infection can cause inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, leading to gastroenteritis, fever and other diseases in humans and animals. More and more studies have emphasized the broad prospects of probiotics in improving inflammation and oxidative stress, but the ability and mechanism of (LA) to alleviate the inflammatory/oxidative reaction caused by pathogens are still unclear.

Damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota are critical factors in HIV progression, reciprocally influencing each other. Besides bacteria, the fungal microbiota, a significant component of the gut, plays a pivotal role in this dysregulation. This study aims to investigate changes in the gut mucosal barrier and mycobiota during the initial stages of HIV infection, focusing on the involvement of intestinal fungi and their secretions in mucosal damage.

Background: Mendelian randomization is believed to attenuate the biases inherent in observational studies, yet a meta-analysis of Mendelian randomization studies in osteoporosis has not been conducted thus far. This study aims to evaluate the connection between potential causal factors and the risk of osteoporosis by synthesizing evidence from Mendelian randomization studies.

Methods: The databases PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were systematically searched for Mendelian randomization studies investigating factors influencing osteoporosis up to May 2024.
