Gut Microbiota Modulation by Inulin Improves Metabolism and Ovarian Function in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel strategy targeting gut microbiota for managing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Inulin, a gut microbiota modulator, notably boosts the growth of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs)‐producers, represented by Bifidobacterium, thereby improving glucolipid metabolism and ovarian function of PCOS through suppressing the inflammatory ...

PI3K-CCL2-CCR2-MDSCs axis: A potential pathway for tumor Clostridia-promoted CD 8+ T lymphocyte infiltration in bile tract cancers

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2023
Background: Most patients with resected bile tract cancers (BTCs) survive for less than 5 years; however, some achieve better prognosis. The tumor microbiome can improve survival by regulating the tumor immune microenvironment. However, whether the tumor

A tutorial on evaluating time-varying discrimination accuracy for survival models used in dynamic decision-making [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Many medical decisions involve the use of dynamic information collected on individual patients toward predicting likely transitions in their future health status. If accurate predictions are developed, then a prognostic mode can identify patients at greatest risk for future adverse events, and may be used clinically to define populations appropriate ...

Gut Microbiota Colonization in Early Life Influences Susceptibility to Adulthood Hepatic Lipid Accumulation in High‐Fat‐Diet‐Fed Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study indicates that perinatal antibiotic exposure elevates susceptibility to high‐fat‐diet‐induced hepatic lipid accumulation via disrupting early‐life gut microbiota colonization. The decreased Lactobacillus colonization inhibits primary‐to‐secondary bile acid conversion, lowering secondary bile acids, enhancing adulthood intestinal lipid ...

Joint Analysis of Individual-level and Summary-level GWAS Data by Leveraging Pleiotropy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
A large number of recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for complex phenotypes confirm the early conjecture for polygenicity, suggesting the presence of large number of variants with only tiny or moderate effects. However, due to the limited sample size of a single GWAS, many associated genetic variants are too weak to achieve the genome-wide ...

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in Ciliopathies: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
HDAC6 regulates primary cilia, crucial for cellular signalling and environmental responses. Dysregulation of HDAC6 contributes to ciliopathies, affecting multiple organs. This review examines HDAC6's role in ciliogenesis, its interaction with signaling molecules, and its potential as a therapeutic target.

Towards Unsupervised Cancer Subtyping: Predicting Prognosis Using A Histologic Visual Dictionary [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Unlike common cancers, such as those of the prostate and breast, tumor grading in rare cancers is difficult and largely undefined because of small sample sizes, the sheer volume of time needed to undertake on such a task, and the inherent difficulty of extracting human-observed patterns.

Liver and biliary disease in childhood

open access: yesMedicine, 2002
Acute liver disease or failure in children is the result of viral hepatitis (A, B, E or sero-negative), indeterminate hepatitis or inherited metabolic liver disease. The clinical presentation includes jaundice, coagulopathy and encephalopathy. Uncomplicated acute hepatitis resolves spontaneously, but progressive acute liver failure is fatal in 70% of ...

A Compound Screen Based on Isogenic hESC‐Derived β Cell Reveals an Inhibitor Targeting ZnT8‐Mediated Zinc Transportation to Protect Pancreatic β Cell from Stress‐Induced Cell Death

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Pancreatic β cell loss by cellular stress contributes to diabetes pathogenesis. The study demonstrates that WFS1–ZnT8–zinc axis regulates vicious cycle of zinc transportation and cellular stress in pancreatic β cell. Based on that, the study applies a strategy for compound screening targeting ZnT8 based on human models, and identifies anisomycin, as a ...

Regulatory effect of gut microbes on blood pressure

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 513-531, December 2022., 2022
The interaction between gut microbiota and hypertension, the genera which affect the blood pressure in taxonomic level, and the commonly used treatments to hypertension based on the gut microbes were summarized in this review. The increases of Lactobacillus, etc.
