Summary: This study collected fecal samples from advanced HCC patients treated with nivolumab and found that responders had higher gut bacterial diversity compared to non-responders. The study also identified specific bacterial taxa associated with therapeutic response in HCC patients. Additionally, certain bacterial ratios and species were proposed as predictive markers for response to nivolumab in HCC treatment.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between fecal microbiota and acute diarrhea in children, specifically with rotavirus infection. It was found that children with acute diarrhea exhibited dysbiosis in their gut microbiota, with lower microbial diversity and richness compared to the control group. The composition of the microbiota also differed between the acute diarrhea group and the control group.

Summary: The study investigates the short-term alteration of gut microbiome after antibiotic therapy in patients undergoing prostate biopsy. The findings show changes in the composition of gut microbiome, but the long-term effects or implications on diseases such as prostate pathology are still unknown.

Summary: This study investigated the correlations between gut microbiome (GM) composition and pain perception as well as psychological states in young healthy male subjects. The results showed significant associations between pressure pain threshold and Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phylum, as well as between anxiety state and Bifidobacterium genus. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of GM composition on pain perception and psychological states.

Summary: The study demonstrated the regulatory role of Gardenia jasminoides (GJ) on the intestinal microbiome in alleviating atopic dermatitis (AD) symptoms. GJ administration improved pathological changes induced by antibiotics and DNCB by restoring intestinal microbiome composition, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for AD.

Summary: This article summarizes the recent findings on the correlation between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and dysbiosis, as well as the prevention and treatment methods. The most common changes in the microbiome of GDM patients are an increase in Firmicutes phylum or a decrease in Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria phyla. Gut dysbiosis persists postpartum and affects the development of newborns. Probiotic supplementation and regular physical activity have strong evidence in controlling blood glucose levels.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review of clinical trials using MDX as a placebo and evaluated its effects on human physiology and gut microbiota. The results showed that MDX often induces effects on human physiology and gut microbiota, questioning its validity as a placebo-control in clinical trials.

Summary: Our study revealed a positive association between LTI and the abundance of phylum Firmicutes and the phyla F/B ratio in patients with type 2 DM. This correlation was particularly evident in patients with high body mass index and was independent of glycemic control or medication usage.

Summary: The B/F ratio in diabetic patients may be a potential biomarker for the development of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy, but no significant differences in gut microbial abundance for any specific phylum were found between the control and diseased population.

Summary: Despite knowledge of classical coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease remain high. New factors that may affect the development of CAD, such as the gut microbiome, are extensively investigated. CAD is associated with altered gut microbiome composition and function, including changes in Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and alpha-beta biodiversity.

Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global public health concern, with pulmonary TB being the most common form of the disease. However, intestinal TB (ITB), which is mostly secondary to pulmonary TB, is also a significant issue. Recent studies have investigated the potential role of the gut microbiome in TB development. This review summarizes the findings of studies investigating the gut microbiome in both pulmonary TB and ITB patients compared with healthy controls, highlighting the crucial role of the gut microbiome in TB, particularly in ITB development.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the gut microbiome of snub-nosed monkeys, including raising patterns, age, sex, and diarrheal status, and provide reference for protection strategies. The results showed that raising pattern was the predominant factor influencing the microbiome structure and proportionality, with wild monkeys having higher bacterial diversity and captive monkeys having higher diversity of antibiotic resistant genes.

Summary: This study analyzes the effects of gut microbiome on host phenotype by replacing the original gut microbiome with a new one within the same individual. The results show that different gut microbiomes have different effects on weight gain, and weight gain is negatively correlated with the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio.

Summary: Cesarean section delivery significantly affects the composition and development of gut microbiota in infants, resulting in decreased relative abundance of certain bacteria and alterations in specific functional genes. The study findings provide new insights into strategies for preventing Cesarean section-related disorders in later life.

Summary: Diet plays a crucial role in influencing our intestinal microbiota and ecosystem balance, but a clearly defined dietary regime to ensure its health is still lacking. The Mediterranean diet may potentially have significant benefits for our health through direct interaction with our microbiota.
