According to reports, gut microbiota and metabolites regulate the intestinal immune microenvironment. In recent years, an increasing number of studies reported that bile acids (BAs) of intestinal flora origin affect T helper cells and regulatory T cells (Treg cells). Th17 cells play a pro-inflammatory role and Treg cells usually act in an immunosuppressive role. In this review, we emphatically summarised the influence and corresponding mechanism of different configurations of lithocholic acid (LCA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) on intestinal Th17 cells, Treg cells and intestinal immune microenvironment. The regulation of BAs receptors G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1/TGR5) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) on immune cells and intestinal environment are elaborated. Furthermore, the potential clinical applications above were also concluded in three aspects. The above will help researchers better understand the effects of gut flora on the intestinal immune microenvironment via BAs and contribute to the development of new targeted drugs. 相似文献
Outcomes of the current management of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) rupture are still unsatisfactory. Recent literature demonstrated the efficacy of the paracrine action of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in ligament rupture healing. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of arthroscopic administration of allogeneic umbilical cord-derived MSC (UC-MSC) conditioned medium (secretome) for the treatment of PCL rupture.
Patients and methods
This is a prospective study including 12 individuals with PCL rupture grade 1 or 2 who were performed arthroscopy and secretome administrations. The functional and radiologic outcome of the knee was examined one year following intervention.
Results
Preoperatively, posterior drawer test revealed three cases of grade 2+ and nine cases of grade 1+, whereas the final follow-up revealed two cases of grade 2+ and ten cases of grade 1+ PCL rupture. At final follow-up, the mean scores for the IKDC, modified Cincinnati, and Lysholm were 90.58 ± 4.30, 90.90 ± 2.15, and 89.42 ± 3.16, respectively. The means of the serial hop tests were 90.33, 94.16, 93.66, and 95.33 for single, triple, crossover, and time hop tests, respectively. Five patients were able to resume competitive sport after an average of 25.8 weeks (25–38). The final MRI analysis revealed that six knees (50%) regained PCL continuity with low signal intensity, five knees (41.6%) returned near-normal PCL continuity, and one knee (8.3%) regained PCL continuity but with deformed outlines.
Conclusions
Short-term follow-up indicated that the secretome generated from allogenic UC-MSC produces excellent functional and radiographic results in grade I-II PCL rupture.
Evidence has accumulated to support the early involvement of altered gastrointestinal (GI) function in neurodegenerative disease. However, risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD) among individuals with a GI biopsy of normal mucosa or nonspecific inflammation is unknown.
Methods
This matched cohort study included all individuals in Sweden with a GI biopsy of normal mucosa (n = 480,346) or nonspecific inflammation (n = 655,937) during 1965–2016 (exposed group) as well as their individually matched population references and unexposed full siblings. A flexible parametric model and stratified Cox model were used to estimate hazard ratio (HR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results
Individuals with normal mucosa or nonspecific inflammation had a higher risk of AD and PD during the 20 years after biopsy. Compared with the population references, individuals with normal mucosa had an increased risk of AD (incidence rate [IR] difference = 13.53 per 100,000 person-years, HR [95% CI] = 1.15 [1.11–1.20]) and PD (IR difference = 6.72, HR [95% CI] = 1.16 [1.10–1.23]). Elevated risk was also observed for nonspecific inflammation regarding AD (IR difference = 13.28, HR [95% CI] = 1.11 [1.08–1.14]) and PD (IR difference = 6.83, HR [95% CI] = 1.10 [1.06–1.14]). Similar results were observed in subgroup and sensitivity analyses and when comparing with their unexposed siblings.
Conclusions
Individuals with a GI biopsy of normal mucosa or nonspecific inflammation had an increased risk of AD and PD. This adds new evidence of the early involvement of GI dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease. 相似文献
The impact of the 2022 International Consensus Classification (ICC) of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) needs study. We analysed data from 989 MDS subjects classified using the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria to determine the impact of the new proposal. Our analyses suggested the ICC criteria of MDS-SF3B1 identifies a more homogenous disease entity than the WHO 2016 criteria of myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS). MDS, not otherwise specified with single lineage dysplasia (MDS, NOS-SLD) patients had a better prognosis than MDS, NOS with multilineage dysplasia (MDS, NOS-MLD) patients. MDS with mutated TP53 and MDS/acute myeloid leukaemia with mutated TP53 patients had the briefest survivals. These data support the ICC of MDS, which allows more accurate diagnoses and risk stratification. 相似文献
