The aim of this study was to investigate systemic changes that occur in Alzheimer's disease, in particular the association between changes in peripheral organ metabolism, changes in gut microbial composition, and Alzheimer's disease development. To do this, we analyzed peripheral organ metabolism and the gut microbiota in amyloid precursor protein-presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) transgenic and control mice at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age. Twelve-month-old APP/PS1 mice exhibited cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease-related brain changes, distinctive metabolic disturbances in peripheral organs and fecal samples (as detected by untargeted metabolomics sequencing), and substantial changes in gut microbial composition compared with younger APP/PS1 mice. Notably, a strong correlation emerged between the gut microbiota and kidney metabolism in APP/PS1 mice. These findings suggest that alterations in peripheral organ metabolism and the gut microbiota are closely related to Alzheimer's disease development, indicating potential new directions for therapeutic strategies.

Background: Complex perianal fistulas, challenging to treat and prone to recurrence, often require surgical intervention that may cause fecal incontinence and lower quality of life due to large surgical wounds and potential sphincter damage. Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) and their exosomes (hUCMSCs-Exo) may promote wound healing.
Methods: This study assessed the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety of these exosomes in treating complex perianal fistulas in SD rats.

Background: Evidence has revealed that oestrogen deprivation-induced osteolysis is microbiota-dependent and can be treated by probiotics. However, the underlying mechanism require further investigation. This study aims to provide additional evidence supporting the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment and to explore the pathophysiology of oestrogen-deprived osteolysis.

Background: Recent studies show that the increase in breath hydrogen (BH) and symptoms after ingestion of inulin is reduced by co-administering psyllium.
Objectives: To determine if slowing delivery of inulin to the colon by administering it in divided doses would mimic the effect of psyllium. Primary endpoint was the BH area under the curve AUC.

Background: Kombucha, a fermented beverage obtained from a Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY), has shown potential in modulating gut microbiota, although no clinical trials have been done.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effects of regular black tea kombucha consumption on intestinal health in individuals with and without obesity.
Methods: A pre-post clinical intervention study was conducted lasting eight weeks.

The gut microbiota plays a crucial regulatory role in various physiological processes, yet its impact on corneal homeostasis remains insufficiently understood. Here, we investigate the effects of antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis (AIGD) and germ-free (GF) conditions on circadian gene expression, barrier integrity, nerve density, and immune cell activity in the corneas of mice. Through RNA sequencing, we found that both AIGD and GF conditions significantly disrupted the overall transcriptomic profile and circadian transcriptomic oscillations in the cornea.
