Summary: This study revealed differences in intestinal microbiota composition among groups of CRC patients, young volunteers, and old volunteers. The enrichment of specific bacteria in different age groups and in CRC patients suggests potential protective or tumorigenic roles, highlighting the importance of gut bacteria in colorectal cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the composition, structure, and function of gut microbiota in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). The results showed that the gut microbiome of DR patients was significantly different from that of healthy controls. The alterations in the microbiome were associated with various bacterial genera and had implications for the clinical diagnosis and potential therapeutic targets for DR. A stochastic forest model was also developed to differentiate DR patients from healthy controls based on seven bacterial genera.

Summary: This study examined the diversity of bacteria and fungi in the gut microbiota of commercial broilers raised in cages. The results showed that the composition of the gut microbiota was influenced by age, with increasing richness and diversity as the broilers grew older. The gut microbiota had a unique structure in the early days after birth, and then underwent significant changes during periods of rapid growth and weight gain. Furthermore, certain bacteria and fungi played key roles in the gut microbiota of broilers, and their loss may impact the intestinal homeostasis of broilers.

Summary: This study reveals that an imbalance in the composition and function of the gut microbiota may be one of the etiological mechanisms underlying Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). The gut microbiota may serve as new targets for the treatment of cardiotoxicity and cardiovascular diseases.

Summary: There is an urgent need to find new screening methods for the early detection of esophageal cancer, as this can lead to better clinical outcomes. The dysbiosis of the esophageal microbiome, as well as the oral microbiome, has been found to be associated with the development of esophageal cancer. Therefore, studying the changes in the oral microbiome can help identify markers for early detection of this cancer.

Summary: There were significant differences in gut microbiota composition and metabolic pathways between tuberculosis patients and healthy controls. Antibiotic exposure was found to further reduce diversity and deplete beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiota of TB patients. Microbial functional analysis showed lower biosynthesis capacity of amino acids and fatty acids in TB patients compared to healthy controls.

Summary: The study compared 192 Japanese volunteers' fecal 16S analysis data using modified V1-V2 and standard V3-V4 primers. Results showed that the bacterial composition derived from the V34 region might differ from the actual abundance, suggesting that the modified V12 primer set is more desirable for analyzing the Japanese gut microbiota.

Summary: The pathogenesis of gut microbiota in humans can be indicated by techniques such as 16S rRNA sequencing, showing significant differences between normal individuals and patients with gastric cancer, which is crucial for early diagnosis. This study reviewed results from the past 5 years, finding similarities in gut microbiota between patients with gastric cancer and esophageal cancer, but comparisions with small intestinal cancer were limited due to low incidence. The research progress on using gut microbiota for early screening of gastric cancer was summarized, providing further directions in this field.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between gut microbiota and the onset and remission of bullous pemphigoid (BP). The researchers sequenced the gut microbiota of BP patients, BP patients in remission, and healthy controls, and found differences in microbial composition between the groups. They identified certain bacteria that were more abundant in BP patients and found correlations between specific bacteria and clinical parameters. This study provides insights into the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and therapeutic effects of BP.

Summary: Dietary additives, such as berberine, are used to reduce intestinal inflammation in the broiler industry. This study investigated the effects of berberine on gut microbiota and gut health in chickens. Berberine was found to improve gut morphology and decrease inflammation, and it also influenced the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota. The study suggests that berberine supplementation at an optimal dose can be beneficial for chicken gut health.

Summary: The study found associations between long-term dietary patterns and gut microbiota in a large sample of Chinese adults, with whole grain and vegetable intakes explaining variance in microbiota composition. Using a data-driven approach, a dietary pattern characterized by lower refined grain intake was linked to higher abundances of certain microorganisms. The results highlight the complex relationships between diet and gut microbiota, providing insights for microbiome studies on human chronic diseases.

Summary: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in kidney transplantation is associated with alterations in gut microbiota, with recipients experiencing decreased bacterial richness in the gut microbiota compared to controls. Specific taxa such as Clostridiales could potentially serve as biomarkers to distinguish recipients with AMR. Additionally, functional pathways in the gut microbiota differ significantly between AMR and control groups.

Summary: The study suggests that the relationship between gut microbiota and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and lung cancer is still unclear, but certain bacteria identified from the VFDB database may serve as potential biomarkers for screening the cancers. Klebsiella and Streptococcus's relative abundance can distinguish patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and lung cancer from healthy controls, while the absolute abundance of Klebsiella can further distinguish between the two types of cancer patients.

Summary: This study found differences in microbial community structure between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and adjacent non-tumor tissues, with Streptococcus and Labrys being the main bacteria in tumor and non-tumor tissues, respectively. The complexity of microbial interactions in tumor tissues was weaker compared to non-tumor tissues, and there were statistically significant differences in the relative abundance of 24 taxa between tumor and non-tumor tissues. Furthermore, the lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and biotin metabolism in the microbiome of cancer tissues were found to be more significant.
