About 1/3 of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients suffered from poor response worldwide. And these patients present intestinal disturbances. We aimed to identify signatures of microbiota and metabolites in PBC patients with poor response, comparing
The results of abdominal ultrasound: a liquid dark area was identified in the right appendage area, about 138 × 118 mm in size, with clear boundary and transparent internal space, the left ovary was normal, without obvious abnormality in the left appendage area. Results of CT-scan: 1....
changes, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. However, bariatric surgery is one of the few effective methods widely used to attain significant and sustained weight loss. Bariatric surgeries, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) [5], can improve immed...
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is a type of bariatric surgery that alters the gastrointestinal tract to reduce food intake and nutrient absorption, thereby promoting significant weight loss. RYGB has been shown to offer protective effects against NAFLD and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)...
Animal studies show that high fat (HF) diet-induced gut microbiota contributes to the development of obesity. Oil composition of high-fat diet affects metabolic inflammation differently with deleterious effects by saturated fat. The aim of the present st
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis demonstrated that UT1 abundantly synthesized butyrate in growth medium in the presence of soluble starch, and the production was gradually increased along with bacterial growth, whereas the levels of acetate were proportionally deceased (Figure 1e)....
On post-op day (POD) 2, she was discharged home upon tolerating a liquid diet. She presented to the Emergency Department (ED) four days later with multiple episodes of diarrhea and lethargy. Stool studies did not reveal any infection. She was hydrated and discharged home. On POD 16, she...
Zeta potential or ζ-potential, is a physical property representing the developing charge at the interface between a solid surface and its liquid surrounding, and from a clinical perspective, a ζ-potential of ± 30 mV renders NPs more appropriate for testing due to the increased stability [...
Nearly half of the patients with intra-abdominal infectious complications (IIC), have a fistula in the small gastric pouch mostly occurring after the 5thPOD, in majority diagnosed on observed changes in the appearance of the draining liquid and confirmed by contrast radiography of the esophagus and...
Acetate, propionate and butyrate concentrations were determined in cecal contents, supernatants from bacterial culture and culture media after water extraction of acidified samples using gas liquid chromatography (Nelson 1020, Perkin-Elmer, St Quentin en Yvelines, France) as described previously [61]. SC...
