Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and atrial fibrillation (AF) are prevalent global health concerns that significantly impact societal economic well-being. This study explored the potential associations between H. incidence progression of AF. Emerging research suggests may influence AF through various pathways, including systemic inflammation, metabolic disturbances, immune responses, changes in gut microbiota. These pathways provide a novel perspective on etiology AF, suggesting chronic could exacerbate or even initiate arrhythmic events typical Current evidence, while preliminary, points to significant correlations, particularly markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) lipid metabolism, which heightened individuals with active infection. However, exact mechanisms causal nature this relationship remain elusive, studies showing conflicting results. inconsistency underscores need for more comprehensive rigorously designed clinical experimental elucidate fully interactions Understanding these connections is crucial developing innovative treatments management strategies targeting microbial influences patients. Future should focus defining role eradication assessing its disease patient outcomes.

Food allergens are the key triggers of allergic diarrhea, causing damage to immune-rich ileum. This weakens mucosal barrier and tight junctions, increases intestinal permeability, exacerbates allergen exposure, thereby worsening condition. Sesamin, a natural lignan isolated from sesame seed, has shown potential in regulating immune responses, but its effects on health remain unclear. In this study, we constructed an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced diarrhea mouse model, which demonstrated increased mast cell degranulation, reduced junction integrity, impaired function. Pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly ileum, along with unbalanced cluster differentiation 4 (CD4

Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or are more prone to gastrointestinal (GI) than the general population. These can significantly affect their health, learning, and development due various factors such as genetics, environment, behavior. The causes of GI in children ASD include gut dysbiosis, immune dysfunction, food sensitivities, digestive enzyme deficiencies, sensory processing differences. Many studies suggest that numerous experience problems, effective management is crucial. Diagnosing typically done through genetic, neurological, functional, behavioral assessments observations, while tests not consistently reliable. Some may increase risk developing exacerbating symptoms. Addressing issues individuals improve overall well-being, leading better behavior, cognitive function, educational abilities.

The gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms, plays an essential role in maintaining immune and metabolic homeostasis. Disruption this microbial balance, known as dysbiosis, has been increasingly implicated the pathogenesis chronic inflammatory conditions, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, autoimmune diseases, well disorders such diabetes obesity. A crucial mechanism through which microbiota exerts its effects on host physiology is via production bioactive metabolites. These metabolites, short-chain fatty acids, bile tryptophan derivatives, are key modulating responses regulating functions. Dysbiosis disrupts function these thereby contributing to dysregulation, inflammation, disease progression. This review examines microbiota-derived metabolites with focus their immunomodulatory effects. deeper understanding mechanisms may open way for novel therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring homeostasis mitigating global burden diseases.

Digestive system diseases have evolved into a growing global burden without sufficient therapeutic measures. Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is considered as new potential economical therapy for its probiotic effects in the gastrointestinal system. We provided an overview of researches supporting various L. strains' application treating common digestive diseases, including infantile colic, diarrhea, constipation, functional abdominal pain, Helicobacter pylori infection, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, colorectal cancer and liver diseases.The summarized literature this review was derived from databases PubMed, Web Science, Google Scholar.The may depend on direct indirect mechanisms, metabolite production well modulation intestinal microbiome, preservation gut barrier function, regulation host immune These actions are largely strain-specific activation or inhibition certain signal pathways.
