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.

Minimally Invasive Bowel Cancer Detection through Vibrating Microrobot‐Induced Elastography

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive diagnostic method for bowel cancer detection combines vibrating microrobots and laser speckle contrast imaging to map tissue elasticity. By analyzing vibration‐induced resonance, detailed elasticity maps are produced, clearly differentiating tumors from healthy tissue.

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.

An Overview of the Possible Exposure of Infants to Microplastics

Life
Microplastics are small plastic pieces with sizes less than 5 mm. They are becoming a global concern due to the potential risk to human health. The potential risks of microplastics may be greater for infants because they do not have sufficiently ...

Alterations in gut microbiota and metabolites contribute to postoperative sleep disturbances

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we classified postoperative patients into poor sleepers (PS) and good sleepers (GS) based on the bispectral index (BIS), and transplanted their fecal microbiota to pseudo‐germ‐free rats to analyze the sleep changes in rats and the potential mechanism.

Yunweiling alleviates functional constipation: integrating network pharmacology and experimental study

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In a study combining network pharmacological analysis and experimental verification, yunweiling has been shown improve functional constipation by inhibiting the PI3K‐Akt‐p53 signaling pathway and reducing the expression of TP53. Abstract Background This study investigated the impacts and mechanisms of yunweiling in the management of Functional ...

Identifying the optimal dose of cannabidiol by intrabuccal administration in Kramnik (C3HeB/FeJ) mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) has numerous therapeutic properties, and is used to treat neurological conditions, such as neuroinflammation. However, the optimal dose of CBD to penetrate the brain requires further investigation. The primary aim of this study was to use a mouse model and the intrabuccal route for CBD administration to determine the optimal dose at ...

Dietary Qiwenghuangbo powder–enriched Limosilactobacillus reuteri protects the intestinal epithelium and alleviates inflammation via a strain‐specific mechanism

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Dietary Qiwenghuangbo powder improved growth performance and intestinal health of weaned piglets, as well as altered microbiota composition as significant enrichment of Limosilactobacillus reuteri. Furthermore, out of three isolated L. reuteri, two strains could alleviate pathogen infection and intestinal inflammation in the colitis models induced by ...
