Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), one of the most prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorders, is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain and abnormal defecation habits, resulting in a severe healthcare burden worldwide. The pathophysiological mechanisms IBS are multi-factorially involved, including food antigens, visceral hypersensitivity reactions, brain–gut axis. Numerous studies have found that gut microbiota intestinal mucosal immunity play an important role development crosstalk with multiple mechanisms. Therefore, based on existing evidence, this paper elaborates damage activation disturbance closely related to progression IBS. Combined application prospect, it also provides references for further in-depth exploration clinical practice.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, accompanied by itching and swelling. The main pathological mechanism of AD related to the imbalance between Type 2 helper cells (Th2 cells) 1 (Th1 cells). Currently, no safe effective means treat prevent are available; moreover, some treatments have side effects. Probiotics, such as strains Lactobacillus , can address these concerns via various pathways: i) facilitating high patient compliance; ii) regulating Th1/Th2 balance, increasing IL-10 secretion, reducing cytokines; iii) accelerating maturation immune system, maintaining intestinal homeostasis, improving gut microbiota; iv) symptoms AD. This review describes treatment prevention using 13 species . commonly observed in children. Therefore, includes higher proportion studies on children fewer adolescents adults. However, there also that do not improve even worsen allergies In addition, subset genus relieve has been identified vitro future should include more vivo randomized controlled clinical trials.

Recent studies have revealed that gut microbiota (GM) is involved communication with brain, through a bidirectional network known as gut-brain axis. This involves humoral, immunological, endocrine, neural pathways. Gut dysbiosis negatively impacts these pathways, leading to neurological complications cognitive deficits.
