AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

• Sigmoid volvulus is the most common type of colonic volvulus and early recognition and intervention is essential. • Endoscopic detorsion is the initial step once bowel ischemia and perforation are absent clinically or radiologically. • Sigmoid colectomy is definitive management to reduce recurrence. • Metachronous transverse colon volvulus is a rare occurrence that can follow surgical operations for sigmoid volvulus.

Establishment of a Low-Cost and Efficient In Vitro Model for Cultivating Intestinal Microbiota.

January 2025

Dongguan Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine, School of Public Health, Guangdong Medical University, Dongguan 523808, China.

The Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME) has hindered widespread adoption due to its high cost. This study founded biomimetic multilink fermentation equipment (BMLFE), priced at half or even lower than SHIME. It was improved based on multilink fermentation equipment (MLFE) by modifying materials, peristaltic pumps, fermentation time, and dietary habits while calculating transfer time and volumes and conducted anaerobic fermentation for 15 days followed by monitoring changes in intestinal microbial composition and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

Application of a dynamic colonic gastrointestinal digestion model to red wines: a study of flavanol metabolism by the gut microbiota and the cardioprotective activity of microbial metabolites.

Food Funct

January 2025

Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino-ICVV (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas-CSIC, Universidad de La Rioja-UR, Gobierno de La Rioja), Finca La Grajera, Ctra. de Burgos Km. 6 (LO-20, - salida 13), 26007 Logroño, Spain.

Over the last decade, research has emphasized the role of the microbiome in regulating cardiovascular physiology and disease progression. Understanding the interplay between wine polyphenols, the gut microbiota, and cardiovascular health could provide valuable insights for uncovering novel therapeutic strategies aimed at preventing and managing cardiovascular disease. In this study, two commercial red wines were subjected to dynamic gastrointestinal digestion (GIS) to monitor the flavanol-microbiota interaction by evaluating the resulting microbial metabolites.
