Probiotic prophylaxis in predicted severe acute pancreatitis: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
: Background Infectious complications and associated mortality are a major concern in acute pancreatitis. Enteral administration of probiotics could prevent infectious complications, but convincing evidence is scarce. Our aim was to assess the effects of

Role of Gut Barrier Function in the Pathogenesis of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

open access: yesGastroenterology Research and Practice, 2015
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common forms of chronic liver disease, and its incidence is increasing year by year. Many efforts have been made to investigate the pathogenesis of this disease.

Comparison of Efavirenz and Dolutegravir on Gut Microbiome and Gut Barrier Functions. [PDF]

open access: yesACS Omega
Dolutegravir (DTG) is increasingly replacing efavirenz (EFV) as the recommended first-line antiretroviral therapy (cART) component due to its superior tolerance. However, both EFV-based and DTG-based cART regimens are associated with metabolic and neuropsychiatric disorders through mechanisms that remain poorly understood.

Salmonella transiently reside in luminal neutrophils in the inflamed gut. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Enteric pathogens need to grow efficiently in the gut lumen in order to cause disease and ensure transmission. The interior of the gut forms a complex environment comprising the mucosal surface area and the inner gut lumen with epithelial cell debris and

Beyond allergic progression: From molecules to microbes as barrier modulators in the gut-lung axis functionality

open access: yes, 2023
The “epithelial barrier hypothesis” states that a barrier dysfunction can result in allergy development due to tolerance breakdown. This barrier alteration may come from the direct contact of epithelial and immune cells with the allergens, and indirectly,

Crossing barriers: infections of the lung and the gut [PDF]

open access: yesMucosal Immunology, 2009
Although known as respiratory pathogens, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and its sister coronaviruses frequently cause enteric symptoms. In addition, other classically non-enteric viruses (such as HIV and influenza) may also have enteric effects that are crucial in their pathogeneses.

Mesalazine in the initial management of severely acutely malnourished children with environmental enteric dysfunction : a pilot randomized controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is an acquired syndrome of impaired gastrointestinal mucosal barrier function that is thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of stunting in early life. It has been conceptualized as an adaptive
