Diabetic gastroparesis, a common complication of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), presents a significant treatment challenge. is emerging as a potential therapy. is a traditional Chinese medicine formula with the potential for treating diabetic gastroparesis by modulating gut microbiota and cAMP/PKA signaling pathways. This study explores the mechanisms behind 's effects on T2DM-induced gastroparesis, focusing on its impact on gut microbiota and the cAMP/PKA pathway. A rat model of type 2 diabetic gastroparesis was established through a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ) injection, and the effects of were assessed. Additionally, protein expression related to the cAMP/PKA pathway was examined, and 's influence on gut microbiota was studied using 16S rRNA sequencing. significantly alleviated hyperglycemia, improved gastric pathology in rats with gastroparesis, enhanced the expression of 5-HT4, cAMP, PKA, and pPKA in the gastric antrum, and rebalanced gut microbiota. demonstrates the therapeutic potential for T2DM-associated gastroparesis by modulating the cAMP/PKA pathway and gut microbiota.

Background And Aims: Oral microbiota may contribute to the development of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) disorders. We aimed to study the association between the microbiome of saliva, subgingival and buccal mucosa, and UGI disorders, particularly precancerous lesions. We also aimed to determine which oral site might serve as the most effective biomarker for UGI disorders.

Increasing evidence suggests that dysbiosis of gut microbiota exacerbates chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Curcumin (CUR) has been reported to alleviate renal fibrosis in animal models of CKD. However, the relationship between CUR and gut microbiome in CKD remains unclear.

Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and irreversible interstitial lung disease characterized by a lack of effective therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant interest in the realm of lung regeneration due to their abundant availability, ease of isolation, and capacity for expansion. The objective of our study was to investigate the potential therapeutic role of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in the management of PF, with a focus on the alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites during the use of UC-MSCs for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the possible mechanisms involved.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore the alteration of microbiota and SCFA in gut and inflammation in acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients, and to test the hypothesis that a disorder of gut microbiota will lead to the alteration of SCFA, which will aggravate inflammation in AECOPD patients.

Methods And Results: 24 patients with AECOPD and 18 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Gut microbiota were analyzed by 16S rDNA and serum was used to detect levels of inflammatory factors by ELISA.

Purpose: Previous researches have suggested an important association between gut microbiota (GM) and vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis. This study aimed to explore the association between 196 GM taxa and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods: This study used Mendelian randomization (MR), linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), and polygenic overlap analysis.
