Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a rapidly increasing inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract worldwide. Recent research suggests that factors such as genetics, environment, microbiota, and immune responses are involved in its development, but the underlying causes are unclear. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota, particularly a decrease in specific genera, has been identified as a possible trigger for IBD. Improving gut microbiota and identifying specific bacterial species are crucial for understanding and treating IBD and autoimmune diseases.

Summary: The gut microbiome is closely associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study used bibliometric analysis to examine the association between the two terms by analyzing 3890 publications from 2000 to 2020. The results showed a rapid growth in publications on this topic since 2008, with the United States and Harvard University being the most productive country and institution, respectively. The journal Inflammatory Bowel Diseases had the highest number of published articles, while Gut was the most influential journal with the highest citation count. The most focused IBD-related topics identified through co-citation analysis were gut microbiota, metagenomics, bacterial community, fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, and colitis-associated colorectal cancer. Keyword cluster and burst analyses revealed that current research in the field of IBD mainly focuses on gut microbiota, metagenomics, and fecal microbiota transplantation. The literature in this field primarily explores alterations of the intestinal microbiota, microbial metabolites, and related host signaling pathways, with frequent mentions of probiotic treatment. This bibliometric analysis provides insights for future research and the development of the gut microbiome and IBD field.

Summary: Genetically modified probiotics have shown efficacy in colitis models through diverse mechanisms, including modulation of gut microbiota diversity and composition, production of beneficial bacterial metabolites, regulation of inflammatory cytokine levels, modulation of oxidative stress, and improvement of intestinal barrier integrity. However, more clinical trials are needed to identify genetically modified probiotics that are both effective and safe for further clinical translation.

Summary: A prebiotic-probiotic living capsule (PPLC) was constructed by coculturing probiotics and Gluconacetobacter xylinus in a prebiotic-containing fermentation broth. The shaking of the culture led to the secretion of cellulose fibrils by G. xylinus, which could spontaneously encapsulate probiotics to form microcapsules under shear forces. The microcapsules, containing dense colonies of probiotics, demonstrated excellent therapeutic performance in treating enteritis mice.

Summary: Recently observed alterations of fungal load in the gastrointestinal tract of IBD patients suggest interkingdom interactions amongst different gut microbial communities. These discoveries point to the potential utilization of antifungals and probiotics that target bacteria and fungi in managing IBD.

Summary: Gut microbes play a specific function in intestinal diseases and have become a research hotspot in the pharmaceutical field due to their immense diversity and complexity. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with an unclear etiology, but gut microbes have been found to play a critical role in its pathogenesis. Understanding the relationship between gut microbes and IBD is important for elucidating the disease's mechanism and exploring potential therapeutic approaches.

Summary: Currently, many studies have been conducted to develop strategies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment. However, few have explored the synergistic effects of materials and probiotics in IBD treatment. In this study, probiotics-loaded dietary fiber microspheres were prepared and their potential in IBD therapy was investigated. The microspheres loaded with probiotics showed good monodispersity, biocompatibility, and the best effects in relieving IBD symptoms and promoting body weight recovery compared to other groups, indicating the synergistic effects of probiotics and dietary fiber in IBD treatment. These results demonstrate the enormous potential of probiotics-loaded microspheres for IBD therapy.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are immune-mediated, chronic relapsing diseases with a rising prevalence worldwide. Probiotic bacteria may impact immunomodulation by regulating dendritic cells to produce tolerogenic DCs, which could play a role in the treatment of IBD and associated conditions.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions with unknown etiology and immunomediated pathogenesis. Research on the intestinal microbiome and the vitamin D/VDR pathway have shown promising potential for novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment of IBD. Probiotic bacteria have shown more exciting results in experimental models than in clinical practice, and understanding their properties and mechanisms of action may lead to new therapeutic applications.

Summary: The effects of probiotic strains BL986 and LC122 on intestinal barrier function and gut microbiota in IBD zebrafish were investigated. The results showed that both probiotics improved intestinal mucosal barrier function and altered the composition and function of the microbiota in different IBD models. The impact of probiotics on IBD was influenced by the subtypes of IBD and the age of the zebrafish.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a serious chronic intestinal disorder that poses challenges in treatment. The emergence of cell membrane nanomaterials (CMNs) has revolutionized IBD treatment by enhancing drug properties and targeting inflammation effectively. This review explores various CMNs delivery systems for IBD treatment and proposes a hierarchically programmed delivery modality for improved efficiency and future research.

Summary: The clinical efficacy, drug sustainability, dose intensification, and therapeutic drug monitoring of ustekinumab therapy in patients with Crohn's disease were evaluated in this prospective, nationwide, multicenter cohort study. The study found that ustekinumab showed favorable drug sustainability and clinical efficacy in patients with severe disease phenotype and previous anti-tumor necrosis factor failure. However, frequent dose intensification was required.
