Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of liver disorders of varying severity, ultimately leading to fibrosis. This spectrum primarily consists of NAFL and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is closely associated with disturbances in the gut microbiota and impairment of the intestinal barrier. Non-gut commensal flora, particularly bacteria, play a pivotal role in the progression of NAFLD. Notably, , a principal bacterium involved in periodontitis, is known to facilitate lipid accumulation, augment immune responses, and induce insulin resistance, thereby exacerbating fibrosis in cases of periodontitis-associated NAFLD. The influence of oral microbiota on NAFLD the "oral-gut-liver" axis is gaining recognition, offering a novel perspective for NAFLD management through microbial imbalance correction. This review endeavors to encapsulate the intricate roles of oral bacteria in NAFLD and explore underlying mechanisms, emphasizing microbial control strategies as a viable therapeutic avenue for NAFLD.

An oral microbiota-based deep neural network model for risk stratification and prognosis prediction in gastric cancer.

J Oral Microbiol

January 2025

Integrative Microecology Clinical Center, Shenzhen Clinical Research Center for Digestive Disease, Shenzhen Technology Research Center of Gut Microbiota Transplantation, The Clinical Innovation & Research Center, Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Viral Oncology, Department of Clinical Nutrition, Shenzhen Hospital, Southern Medical University, Shenzhen, China.

Background: This study aims to develop an oral microbiota-based model for gastric cancer (GC) risk stratification and prognosis prediction.

Methods: Oral microbial markers for GC prognosis and risk stratification were identified from 99 GC patients, and their predictive potential was validated on an external dataset of 111 GC patients. The identified bacterial markers were used to construct a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model, a Random Forest (RF) model, and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model for predicting GC prognosis.

Study of an arginine- and tryptophan-rich antimicrobial peptide in peri-implantitis.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol

January 2025

Department of Periodontology, School and Hospital of Stomotology, Tianjin Key Laboratory of Oral Soft and Hard Tissues Restoration and Regeneration, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.

The combination of hydrophilic arginine residues and hydrophobic tryptophan residues is considered to be the first choice for designing short-chain antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) due to their potent antibacterial activity. Based on this, we designed an arginine- and tryptophan-rich short peptide, VR-12. Peri-implantitis is a significant microbial inflammatory disorder characterized by the inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding an implant, which ultimately leads to the progressive resorption of the alveolar bone.

Primary purulent bacterial pericarditis due to in the absence of an esophago-pericardial fistula.

Oxf Med Case Reports

Internal Medicine, Grandview Medical Center, 3690 Grandview Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35243, United States.

Purulent bacterial pericarditis is a rare and progressive infection with a high mortality. It is rarely due to , a commensal bacteria found in the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and the genitourinary tract. Here we present a 71-year-old man with history of esophageal adenocarcinoma, status post distal esophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy 2 years prior, who developed cardiac tamponade secondary to primary purulent bacterial pericarditis in the absence of an esophago-pericardial fistula.

Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran-Dr Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRI) are biological factors used in several types of cancer, including non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). One of the EGFR inhibitors that has been approved for NSCLC is afatinib. Dermatologic adverse events are the most commonly reported and may impair the patient's compliance to the therapy as it causes aesthetic discomfort and significantly impact the patient's quality of life.
