Four groups were used, each consisting of 24 male ACI rats. Group I received a single subcutaneous injection of 20 mg 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)/kg body weight and was fed on basal diet until the termination of the experiment. Group II received the same single injection as in group I and then, starting one week later, was fed the diet containing 1% dextran sulfate sodium (DS-M-1). Group III received an injection of 0.9% sodium chloride and then DS-M-1 diet. The control group was given neither DMH nor DS-M-1 diet. The experiment was terminated after 40 weeks. A significantly higher incidence of colorectal carcinoma was observed in group II, as compared with group I (P less than 0.02). These data demonstrate the enhancing effect of DS-M-1 on colorectal carcinogenesis.

Microbiota dysfunction induces intestinal disorders and neurological diseases. Mannuronate oligosaccharides (MAOS), a kind of alginate oligosaccharide (AOS), specifically exert efficacy in shaping gut microbiota and relieving cognitive impairment. However, the key regulatory factors involved, such as the specific strains and metabolites as well as their regulatory mechanisms, remain unclear at present.

Purpose: Gut microbiota dysbiosis significantly impacts ulcerative colitis (UC) progression and exacerbation. Probiotics show promise in UC management. This study evaluated the effects of different doses of LV149, an aquatic-derived probiotic, on gut injury repair in male C57BL/6 mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) and investigated the underlying mechanisms.

Gut inflammation is a salient prodromal feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) implicated in pathologic processes leading to nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration. However, existing rodent models of PD are suboptimal for investigating the interaction between gut inflammation and neuropathology. This study aimed to develop a rat model of PD in which gut inflammation exacerbated PD symptoms induced by a parkinsonian lesion.

Administering medication precisely to the inflamed intestinal sites to treat ulcerative colitis (UC), with minimized side effects, is of urgent need. In UC, the inflammation damaged mucosa contains a large number of amino groups which are positively charged, providing new opportunities for drug delivery system design. Here, we report an oral drug delivery system utilizing the tacrolimus-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (TAC/PLGA) particles with an adhesion coating by in situ UV-triggered polymerization of polyacrylic acid and N-hydroxysuccinimide (PAA-NHS).

Although low-dose lactulose has shown a good theoretical foundation for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) in previous studies, the exact effects and mechanism remain unclear. The rats were randomly distributed into 5 groups, i.e.
