Summary: The study found that Google searches with rhinosinusitis-specific search terms consistently peaked during the winter around the world over a 15-year period, indicating sustained interest in rhinosinusitis. These findings indirectly support the model of viral infection or exposure as the predominant cause of acute rhinosinusitis and acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis.

Summary: Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) through dysbiosis, leading to inflammatory signaling pathway disturbances that promote neuroinflammation and neuronal death. Understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and CNS can help identify probiotic-based supplementation as a potential therapeutic option for AD.

Summary: The study demonstrates the beneficial effects of probiotic supplementation in modulating metabolic disorders induced by PFBS, highlighting the antagonistic interaction between PFBS and probiotics in regulating gut-liver axis activities. The probiotics improved nutrient reserves, enhanced intestinal protection, and prevented ferroptosis induced by PFBS exposure, showing promising application values in aquaculture industry and ecological conservation.

Summary: Mounting evidence suggests that probiotics can be used to treat allergic asthma by modulating the gut microbiota, and that the effects of probiotics may be influenced by environmental factors such as diet. In a rat model, high-fiber diet alleviated allergic symptoms and airway inflammation, while high-fat diet worsened inflammation imbalance. The study showed that different dietary patterns influenced the efficacy of L. paracasei in treating allergic asthma.

Summary: This systematic review examines the effects of corticosteroids on the respiratory microbiome. The results suggest that corticosteroids may impact the diversity and composition of the respiratory microbiome, but there is considerable heterogeneity among studies. Further research is needed to better understand the influence of corticosteroids on the respiratory microbiome.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of Lactobacillus brevis MJM60390 on hyperuricemia induced by a high-purine diet and potassium oxonate in a mouse model. The results showed that supplementation with L. brevis MJM60390 reduced serum uric acid levels, inhibited xanthine oxidase activity, and reversed kidney damage. Additionally, the supplementation enhanced the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria producing butyrate.

Summary: The study suggests that specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) play an important role in chronic rhinosinusitis inflammation. Resolvin D2 was elevated in rhinosinusitis patients, while Lipoxin A(4) was significantly increased in patients with polyps. Smoking was associated with lower concentrations of 15-lipoxygenase metabolites.
