1151inflammatory surgical outcomesReview2023
Trone K et al. · Current nutrition reports (2023)
Even short-term gut microbiome pre-habilitation could alter surgical outcomes significantly.
Collectively, these findings demonstrate a role for microbial abfA cluster in ameliorating FC, establishing principles for genomics-directed probiotic therapies.
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, supplementation with abfA-cluster-carrying B. longum, but not an abfA-deficient strain, enriched arabinan-utilization residents, increased beneficial metabolites, and improved FC symptoms.
Across human cohorts, abfA-cluster abundance can predict FC, and transplantation of abfA cluster-enriched human microbiota to FC-induced germ-free mice improved gut motility.
Collectively, these findings demonstrate a role for microbial abfA cluster in ameliorating FC, establishing principles for genomics-directed probiotic therapies.
Future well-designed RCTs are needed to further confirm these findings.
↓25.2 [-32.62, -17.95]
Glutamine was superior in decreasing tumor necrosis factor-α (MD -25.2; 95% CrI [-32.62, -17.95]), whereas combined omega-3 and arginine supplementation was more effective in decreasing interleukin-6 (MD -61.41; 95% CrI [-97.85, -24.85]).
No nutritional supplements significantly maintained nutritional indicators in CRC patients.
Future well-designed RCTs are needed to further confirm these findings.
1173therapeutic effects of probiotics on depression and its comorbiditiesSystematic Review2023
Gao J et al. · Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology (2023)
In present review, we summarize recent findings regarding the MGB axis in depression and discuss the potential therapeutic effects of probiotics on depression and its comorbidities.
With the transition of human microbiome research from studying associations to investigating mechanistic causality, the MGB axis has emerged as a novel therapeutic target in depression and its comorbidities.
These novel insights have fueled idea that targeting on the gut microbiota may open new windows for efficient treatment of depression and its comorbidities.
Probiotics, live beneficial microorganisms, can be used to modulate gut dysbiosis into a new eubiosis and modify the occurrence and development of depression and its comorbidities.
This review also highlights preventive protocols and therapeutic implications by considering the potential influencing factors, particularly types of probiotic strains, dosages of probiotics, duration of their administration, patients' tolerability, and variations in probiotic effects over the cancer stages.
The non-pharmacological strategy using probiotics could reduce the use of anti-diarrheal or antibiotic agents.
Some individuals experienced shorter length of hospital stay, better gastrointestinal function, and reduced incidence of chemotherapy dose reduction after probiotic administration.
Nonetheless, some studies failed to report the benefits of probiotics in certain patients.
Consumption of vaginal probiotics significantly increased the lactobacilli counts in their vagina while mean proportion of some BV-related bacteria decreased.
In VVC patients, both oral and vaginal capsules lowered the combined score of two most important symptoms, amount of discharge and itching/irritation.
In conclusion, the novel formulations of evidence-based well-focused probiotic L. crispatus strains are effective against BV and VVC being suitable for both vaginal and oral administration.
1193Body weight and BMI reductionMeta-Analysisn=2,3622023
Hu X et al. · PeerJ (2023)
Carnitine was relatively effective in reducing body mass, while chromium, Omega-3, and selenium were beneficial for improving glucose metabolism.
↑96.04 %↑97.73 %
The network meta-analysis showed that carnitine, inositol, and probiotics reduced body weight and body mass index (BMI) compared to placebo, and carnitine outperformed the other supplements (SUCRAs: 96.04%, 97.73%, respectively).
Omega-3 lowered fasting blood glucose (FBG) (SUCRAs: 93.53%), and chromium reduced fasting insulin (FINS) (SUCRAs: 72.90%); both were superior to placebo in improving insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), and chromium was more effective than Omega-3 (SUCRAs: 79.99%).
Selenium was potent in raising the quantitative insulin sensitivity index (QUICKI) (SUCRAs: 87.92%).
Komulainen M et al. · Pediatric allergy and immunology : official publication of the European Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology (2023)
The use of fish oil and/or probiotics from early pregnancy onwards did not lower the odds of childhood allergic diseases or atopy, with the exception of the probiotic intervention which decreased the risk of recurrent wheezing when the infants were two years old.
✓p=0.017OR 0.39 [0.18, 0.84]104w long
The probiotic intervention was associated with lower odds of recurrent wheezing at 24 months (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84, p = .017), but not at 12 months.
The use of fish oil and/or probiotics from early pregnancy onwards did not lower the odds of childhood allergic diseases or atopy, with the exception of the probiotic intervention which decreased the risk of recurrent wheezing when the infants were two years old.
This suggests that the incidence of asthma could also decrease later in childhood and thus these outcomes need to be clarified in further investigations.
1200Beneficial bacteria detection rate in breast milkMeta-Analysisn=242023
Alemu BK et al. · American journal of obstetrics & gynecology MFM (2023)
Maternal probiotic supplements effectively orchestrate the breast milk and infant gut microbiome with a wide range of clinical benefits and safety.
✓p=0.001↑24 %
The overall effect of probiotics on the beneficial bacteria detection rate in breast milk had a risk difference of 24% (95% confidence interval, 0.1-0.37; P<.001; I2=91.12%).
The overall abundance of beneficial bacteria in the infant gut had a standard mean difference of 0.89 log10 colony forming units/g (95% confidence interval, 0.22-1.56; P=.01; I2=95.01%).
It also controlled infant weight gain (standard mean difference, -0.49 kg/equivalent age; 95% confidence interval, -0.82 to -0.17; P<.001; I2=0.00%) and decreased the occurrence of infantile colic (risk ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.16-0.57; P<.001; I2=0.00%).
