Depression, projected to be the predominant contributor global disease burden, is a complex condition with diverse symptoms including mood disturbances and cognitive impairments. Traditional treatments such as medication psychotherapy often fall short, prompting pursuit of alternative interventions. Recent research has highlighted significant role gut microbiota in mental health, influencing emotional neural regulation. Fecal transplantation (FMT), infusion fecal matter from healthy donor into patient, emerges promising strategy ameliorate depressive by restoring microbial balance. The microbial-gut-brain (MGB) axis represents critical pathway through which potentially rectify dysbiosis modulate neuropsychiatric outcomes. Preclinical studies reveal that FMT can enhance neurochemicals reduce inflammatory markers, thereby alleviating behaviors. Moreover, shown promise clinical settings, improving gastrointestinal overall quality life patients depression. review highlights gut-brain depression need for further validate long-term safety efficacy FMT, identify specific therapeutic strains, develop targeted modulation strategies. Advancing our understanding could revolutionize treatment, shifting paradigm toward microbiome-targeting therapies.

Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection playsa significant role in the etiology and progression of liver‐relatedpathologies, encompassing chronic hepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, eventual hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC). Notably, HBV stands as primary etiologicalfactor driving development HCC. Given contribution ofHBV to liver diseases, a comprehensive understanding immunedynamics microenvironment, spanning infection,fibrosis, HCC, is essential. In this review, we focused on thefunctional alterations CD8 + T cells within pathogenic livermicroenvironment from We thoroughly reviewed roles ofhypoxia, acidic pH, metabolic reprogramming, amino acid deficiency, inhibitory checkpointmolecules, immunosuppressive cytokines, gut‐liver communication shapingthe dysfunction microenvironment. Thesefactors significantly impact clinical prognosis. Furthermore, comprehensivelyreviewed cell‐based therapy strategies for diseases,encompassing infection, Strategies includeimmune checkpoint blockades, T‐cell targeting therapy, therapeuticT‐cell vaccination, adoptive transfer genetically engineered cells, along with combined usage programmed cell death protein‐1/programmeddeath ligand‐1 (PD‐1/PD‐L1) inhibitors mitochondria‐targeted antioxidants.Given that at various stages hepatitis Bvirus‐induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV HCC) shows promise, reviewedthe ongoing need research elucidate complex interplay between microenvironment toHCC. also discussed personalized treatment regimens, combining therapeuticstrategies harnessing gut microbiota modulation, which holds potential forenhanced benefits. conclusion, review delves into changes, during HCC progression, andrelated diseases.

Autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by excessive and misdirected immune responses against the body's own musculoskeletal tissues. Their exact aetiology remains unclear, with genetic, demographic, behavioural environmental factors implicated in disease onset. One prominent hypothesis for initial breach tolerance (leading to autoimmunity) is molecular mimicry, which describes structural or sequence similarities between human microbial proteins (mimotopes). This similarity can lead cross-reactive antibodies T-cell receptors, resulting an response autoantigens. Both commensal microbes microbiome pathogens trigger thereby potentially contributing onset ARDs. In this review, we focus on role mimicry rheumatoid arthritis systemic lupus erythematosus. Moreover, implications also briefly discussed ankylosing spondylitis, sclerosis myositis.
