Alterations in the composition of commensal bacterial populations, a phenomenon known as dysbiosis, are linked to multiple gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, or to infections by diverse enteric pathogens. Blastocystis is one of the most common single-celled eukaryotes detected in human faecal samples. However, the clinical significance of this widespread colonization remains unclear, and its pathogenic potential is controversial. To address the issue of Blastocystis pathogenicity, we investigated the impact of colonization by this protist on the composition of the human gut microbiota. For that purpose, we conducted a cross-sectional study including 48 Blastocystis-colonized patients and 48 Blastocystis-free subjects and performed an Ion Torrent 16S rDNA gene sequencing to decipher the Blastocystis-associated gut microbiota. Here, we report a higher bacterial diversity in faecal microbiota of Blastocystis colonized patients, a higher abundance of Clostridia as well as a lower abundance of Enterobacteriaceae. Our results contribute to suggesting that Blastocystis colonization is usually associated with a healthy gut microbiota, rather than with gut dysbiosis generally observed in metabolic or infectious inflammatory diseases of the lower gastrointestinal tract.

Novel Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant GI Diseases.

Authors:
Paulius Jonaitis Vytautas Kiudelis Greta Streleckiene Rolandas Gedgaudas Jurgita Skieceviciene Juozas Kupcinskas

Dig Dis 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Background: Various non-invasive biomarkers have been used in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of different gastrointestinal (GI) diseases for years. Novel technological developments and profound perception of molecular processes related to GI diseases over the last decade has allowed researchers to evaluate genetic, epigenetic and many other potential molecular biomarkers in different diseases and clinical settings. Here we present a review of recent most relevant papers in order to summarize major findings on novel biomarkers in the diagnosis of benign and malignant GI diseases. Read More

Both inorganic (IHg) and organic (MeHg) forms of Hg can be converted into each other by methylation or demethylation, leading to changes of Hg speciation and distribution in fish. However, Hg biotransformation in fish is not thoroughly understood and the key factors in this process are unclear. The present study investigated the in vivo Hg transformation in a marine fish (Acanthopagrus latus) and explored the roles of intestinal microbiota in Hg biotransformation. Read More

Adequate sunlight exposure helps reduce bone loss and is important to bone health. Currently, about 90% of the world population spends a major portion of daily life under artificial lighting. Unlike sunlight, LED white light, the main source of artificial lighting, has no infrared radiation, which is known to be beneficial to human health. Read More

The study investigated the benefit of a Bacillus subtilis probiotic (Bs 29,784) in necrotic enteritis (NE)-challenged broilers. Four treatments were performed with 312 male day-old Ross 308 reared in floor pens from day 0 to day 35: 2 groups fed control diet without or with NE challenge (CtrlNC and CtrlNE); 2 groups fed probiotic and antibiotic supplements in the control diet with NE challenge (ProNE and AntNE). Necrotic enteritis challenge procedures commenced with inoculation of Eimeria spp 1 mL/bird per os at day 9 and Clostridium perfringens EHE-NE18 (approximately 10 cfu/mL) 1 mL/bird per os at day 14 and day 15.

The metabolites of gut microbiome are important host-health regulating factors and can be interrupted when the host is exposed to environmental pollutant via ingestion route. Arsenic contaminated drinking water is one of the most serious environmental health problems worldwide. Therefore, the arsenic-induced alterations of gut microbiome and metabolome, especially the persistence and reversibility of the alterations after the long-term arsenic exposure will be interesting to know.
