The emergence of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has greatly transformed the life expectancy people living with HIV (PWH). Today, over 76% individuals have access to this life-saving therapy. However, progress come a new challenge: an increase in age-related non-AIDS conditions among patients HIV. These manifest earlier PWH than uninfected individuals, accelerating aging process. Like PWH, population experiences immunosenescence marked by increased proinflammatory environment. This phenomenon is linked chronic inflammation, driven part cellular structures called inflammasomes.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Recent studies have underscored the significant role of gut microbiota in pathogenesis IBS. Physical exercise, as non-pharmacological intervention, has been proposed to alleviate IBS symptoms modulating microbiota. Aerobic such running, swimming, cycling, shown enhance diversity abundance beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus Bifidobacterium. These bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids that possess anti-inflammatory properties support barrier integrity. Studies involving patients participating structured aerobic exercise programs reported improvements their microbiota's composition diversity, alongside an alleviation like pain bloating. Additionally, positively influences mental health reducing stress improving mood, which can further relieve via gut-brain axis. Long-term interventions provide sustained benefits, maintaining stability, supporting immune functions, systemic inflammation. However, must be tailored individual needs avoid exacerbating symptoms. Personalized plans starting with low-to-moderate intensity gradually increasing maximize benefits minimize risks. This review examines impact various types intensities physical on patients, highlighting need for explore optimal protocols.

Background/Objectives: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a persistent inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract, distinguished by impairment of intestinal epithelial barrier, dysregulation gut microbiota, and abnormal immune responses. Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp., traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine for issues such as bleeding dysentery, has garnered attention its potential therapeutic benefits. However, effects on IBD remain largely unexplored. Methods: In this study, major compounds from leaf extract (CCLE) were initially characterized LCMS-IT-TOF. The model was developed C57BL/6 mice administering continuous 4% (w/v) dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) aqueous solution over period seven days. body weight, colon length, activity index (DAI), histopathological examination using hematoxylin eosin (H&E) staining performed model. levels main factors, specifically TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, myeloperoxidase (MPO), quantified employing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Additionally, tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Occludin) oxidative stress enzymes (iNOS, SOD1, CAT) investigated qPCR. Subsequently, flow cytometry employed to analyze populations various cells within spleen, thereby assessing impact CCLE systemic homeostasis mice. Finally, 16S rDNA sequencing conducted examine composition relative abundance microbiota across different experimental groups. addition, molecular docking analysis assess interaction between principal components aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). Results: We identified bioactive CCLE: catechin, cajachalcone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-(2-phenylcinyl)-benzoic acid, longistylin A, C, pinostrobin, amorfrutin cajaninstilbene acid. Our results demonstrated that oral administration significantly alleviates symptoms DSS-induced modulating balance gut-derived pro- anti-inflammatory cytokines.
