An argument for using anaerobes as microbial cell factories to advance synthetic biology and biomanufacturing

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaerobes thrive in the absence of oxygen and are an untapped reservoir of biotechnological potential. Therefore, bioprospecting efforts focused on anaerobic microbial diversity could rapidly uncover new enzymes, pathways, and chassis organisms to drive biotechnology innovation.

Building an AI Support Tool for Real-time Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis [PDF]

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease decreasing life quality through symptoms such as bloody diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Endoscopy is a cornerstone of diagnosis and monitoring of UC. The Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) index is the standard for measuring UC severity during endoscopic evaluation.

Multiple Sampling Capsule Robot for Studying Gut Microbiome

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multiple sampling capsule robot (MSCR) is developed for longitudinal gut microbiome analysis. Employing electromagnetic field control, the MSCR can locomote actively, precisely align the selected channel, and collect up to six microbiome samples with minimal cross‐contamination.

Prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome and functional abdominal pain disorders in children with inflammatory bowel disease in remission

JGH Open, Volume 6, Issue 12, Page 818-823, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Despite evidence of an increased prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with the general population, the prevalence of IBS in children with IBD is unclear. In this review, we aimed to identify the reported prevalence of IBS or functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) in children

Lifestyle Issues in Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Smoking

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994
During the pa t decade, smoking habit has been identified as a major exogenous factor in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is associated not only with the development of the disease but al o with the clinical course in established disease.

Pharmacokinetic analysis on compatibility of Atractylodes macrocephala and Paeoniae radix herb pair ameliorates functional constipation model rats using microdialysis with ultra‐performance liquid chromatography

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The active ingredient of the drug determines the effect of the drug, and the compatibility affects the content of the active ingredient of the drug, which in turn affects the exertion of the efficacy. This study partly clarifies the rationality and compatibility of AM‐PR in the treatment of FC.

Inflammatory bowel disease type influences development of elevated liver enzymes

JGH Open, Volume 6, Issue 12, Page 846-853, December 2022., 2022
We evaluated the incidence, predictors, and outcomes associated with elevated liver enzymes (ELE) in a diverse and vulnerable inflammatory bowel disease cohort. In multivariate Cox regression, ulcerative colitis (vs Crohn's disease) had a 34% lower risk of developing new ELE during follow‐up (hazard ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval: 0.46–0.95, P = 0.

Identification of symptom domains in ulcerative colitis that occur frequently during flares and are responsive to changes in disease activity

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2008
Background Ulcerative colitis disease activity is determined by measuring symptoms and signs. Our aim was to determine which symptom domains are frequent and responsive to change in the evaluation of disease activity, which are those defined by three ...

Depression is associated with increased disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis: A propensity score‐matched analysis using a nationwide database in Japan

JGH Open, Volume 6, Issue 12, Page 876-885, December 2022., 2022
Depression might be associated with increased disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), which could lead to a poor clinical course. It might be better to consider referring patients with UC who have depressive symptoms to a psychiatrist to improve their clinical course.
