Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between adherence to a Japanese-style diet and cognitive decline and gut microbiota. The findings suggest that adherence to a traditional Japanese diet is inversely associated with cognitive decline and may be associated with lower concentrations of gut microbial metabolites.

Summary: The chronic increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines in older adults, referred to as inflammaging, are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Research shows that various rest-activity rhythm characteristics are related to levels of certain inflammatory markers, but the relationship with changes in these markers is less clear.

Summary: Researchers found that anthocyanin-rich diets have a significant impact on gut flora. Conducting large-scale trials is challenging, so merging data from small studies can be helpful. This comprehensive meta-analysis examined the influence of anthocyanins on Firmicutes/Bacteroide ratio and short-chain fatty acids. The results showed that anthocyanin-rich diets reduced the ratio and had the highest impact on acetic acid among three SCFAs. The meta-analysis provided strong evidence that anthocyanin supplementation improves gut health biomarkers.

Summary: The study found that alterations in gut microbiota are associated with HIV infection and cardiovascular disease. In this study, associations between gut microbial species and carotid artery plaque were examined in women with or at high risk of HIV. The findings suggest that certain bacterial species and a microbial metabolite called ImP are associated with carotid artery atherosclerosis, possibly through immune activation and inflammation.

Summary: Maternal diet during pregnancy, particularly fat intake (SFA and MUFA), was found to be associated with intestinal markers and neonatal gut microbiota at birth. The study revealed a positive correlation between maternal fat intake and Firmicutes in the neonatal microbiota, while a negative correlation was observed with fiber, proteins from vegetable sources, and vitamins. This suggests that maternal diet may influence the transmission of microbial profile to the neonate and potentially impact health outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of varied tryptophan diets on the gut microbiome and inflammatory responses in aged mice models, finding that tryptophan-deficient diets led to changes in gut bacterial abundance and increased levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-17A, and IL-1a.

Summary: Glucosinolates and their derivatives are secondary plant metabolites abundant in Brassicaceae, with benefits for human health such as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. However, their formation requires enzymatic reactions catalyzed by myrosinase enzyme. The human gut microbiome can provide myrosinase activity, potentially enhancing the beneficial effects of these compounds.

Summary: This study found that higher diet quality was associated with lower concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers, and the DASH score was more closely related to inflammatory biomarkers related to health in middle-aged and older adults than the MD, DII, and E-DII scores.

Summary: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Crohn's Disease (CD) share clinical similarities and have similar inflammatory pathways. Differences in gut microbiota composition and diet between HS and CD have been observed.

Summary: This study found that higher intake of plant-derived NDEA, NDMA, and NPIP among patients with chronic liver diseases increases the risk of HCC, while there was no significant association between nitrate or total NOC intake and HCC risk. Additionally, the joint effects of HCC-inducing NOCs and positive hepatitis virus status increase the risk of developing HCC. Further prospective investigations are warranted to explore the enhanced carcinogenic effects of NDEA, NDMA, and NPIP among chronic carriers of hepatitis virus.

Summary: Elevated depressive symptoms and chronic lung disease (CLD) were found to be mutual risk factors in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. Early screening and treatment of depression is necessary to reduce the risk of CLD and related comorbidities, including new-onset depression, and to alleviate the disease burden of CLD and depression in China.

Summary: Isocaloric substitution of plant-based protein for animal-based protein may have beneficial effects on preventing all-cause and cardiovascular disease-specific mortality, especially when substituting red and processed meat protein. However, more studies are needed, particularly regarding cancer incidence and other specific aging-related diseases.

Summary: This study examined the association between post-diagnosis dietary inflammatory potential and mortality outcomes among post-menopausal women diagnosed with cancer. It found that a more anti-inflammatory diet plus supplements after a cancer diagnosis was associated with lower all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and mortality from cardiovascular disease and other causes.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between the overall inflammatory potential of diets and esophageal precancerous lesions (EPLs) and esophageal squamous-cell cancer (ESCC). The study found a positive association between the inflammatory potential of diets and the odds of EPLs and ESCC. Consuming anti-inflammatory foods may be beneficial in preventing EPLs and ESCC.
