Probst Y, Kinnane E. Quality of reporting health behaviors for multiple sclerosis (QuoRH-MS): A scoping review to inform intervention planning and improve consistency of reporting. Brain Behav 2024; 14:e3635. [PMID: 39148370 PMCID: PMC11327400 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.3635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition that necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to aid those living with MS in managing their disease. Health behavior, or lifestyle modification, is an emerging approach to MS self-management. MS researchers utilize measurement tools to ensure that interventions are best suited to the outcomes, thereby potentially influencing practice. The aim of this study was to investigate which tools are being used for health behavior management studies in people living with MS and develop an aid for tool selection. METHODS A scoping review guided by the PRISMA-Sc checklist and the JBI manual for evidence synthesis was employed with a systematic search strategy executed across four scientific databases: Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Libraries. The types of assessment tools used were extracted from the included studies. Each tool was categorized into the health behavior intervention discipline (nutrition, exercise, and psychology) and then subcategorized by the tool's purpose. The frequency of use was determined for each tool. Reporting of validation of the assessment tools were collated to inform a tool selection checklist. RESULTS The review identified a total of 248 tools (12 nutrition, 55 exercise, and 119 psychology unique reports) from 166 studies. Seventy-seven multidimensional tools were identified including measures of quality of life, fatigue, and functional scales. Only 88 studies (53%) referred to the validity of the tools. The most commonly reported tools were the dietary habits questionnaire (n = 4, nutrition), 6-minute walk test (n = 17, exercise), Symbol Digits and Modalities Test, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (n = 15 each, psychology) with the Expanded Disability Status Scale reported 43 times. CONCLUSION Evidence from interventions may inform practice for health professionals. This review provides insights into the range of tools reported across health behavior intervention studies for MS and offers a guide toward more consistent reporting of study methods.

Systemic multiomics evaluation of the therapeutic effect of Bacteroides species on liver cirrhosis in male mice. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0534922. [PMID: 37819146 PMCID: PMC10848840 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.05349-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
IMPORTANCE The human gut microbiome mediates bidirectional interaction within the gut-liver axis, while liver diseases, including liver cirrhosis, are very closely related to the state of the gut environment. Thus, improving the health of the gut-liver axis by targeting the intestinal microbiota is a potential therapeutic approach in hepatic diseases. This study examines changes in metabolomics and microbiome composition by treating bacteria derived from the human gut in mice with liver cirrhosis. Interorgan-based multiomics profiling coupled with functional examination demonstrated that the treatment of Bacteroides dorei pertained to protective effects on liver cirrhosis by normalizing the functional, metabolic, and metagenomic environment through the gut-liver axis. The study provides the potential value of a multiomics-based and interorgan-targeted evaluation platform for the comprehensive examination and mechanistic understanding of a wide range of biologics, including gut microbes. Furthermore, the current finding also suggests in-depth future research focusing on the discovery and validation of next-generation probiotics and products (postbiotics).

Abstract
To investigate cognitive reserve as a possible moderator in the relationship between fatigue and depressive symptoms in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Fifty-three PwMS (37 female; mean age, 52.66; mean education, 14.81) completed comprehensive neuropsychological testing and psychosocial questionnaires assessing the perceived effects of fatigue (Fatigue Impact Scale) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen). Cognitive reserve (CR) was operationalized as Fixed CR and Malleable CR. Fixed CR was quantified as the standardized mean of years of education and a vocabulary-based estimate of premorbid intelligence. Malleable CR was quantified as the standardized mean of cognitive exertion, exercise, and socializing items from the Cognitive Health Questionnaire. Regressions on depressive symptoms examining fatigue, both conceptualizations of CR, and their interactions were explored. A Bonferroni correction was used; results were considered significant at an alpha level of p < .01. The interactions between fatigue and both conceptualizations of CR were significant, p = .005 (Fixed CR); p = .004 (Malleable CR). Simple effects tests revealed that fatigue only predicted depressive symptoms in PwMS with low Fixed CR or low Malleable CR (p's < .001), and not in those with high Fixed or high Malleable CR (p > .01). Cognitive reserve moderated the relationship between fatigue and depressive symptoms in PwMS. Specifically, fatigue does not appear to influence depression in PwMS with high cognitive reserve. Having higher cognitive reserve (either Fixed or Malleable) may reduce the likelihood that fatigue will lead to depressive symptoms in MS.

Metabolomic profiles in relapsing-remitting and progressive multiple sclerosis compared to healthy controls: a five-year follow-up study. Metabolomics 2023; 19:44. [PMID: 37079261 DOI: 10.1007/s11306-023-02010-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system associated with immune dysfunction, demyelination, and neurodegeneration. The disease has heterogeneous clinical phenotypes such as relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS), each with unique pathogenesis. Metabolomics research has shown promise in understanding the etiologies of MS disease. However, there is a paucity of clinical studies with follow-up metabolomics analyses. This 5-year follow-up (5YFU) cohort study aimed to investigate the metabolomics alterations over time between different courses of MS patients and healthy controls and provide insights into metabolic and physiological mechanisms of MS disease progression. METHODS A cohort containing 108 MS patients (37 PMS and 71 RRMS) and 42 controls were followed up for a median of 5 years. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was applied for untargeted metabolomics profiling of serum samples of the cohort at both baseline and 5YFU. Univariate analyses with mixed-effect ANCOVA models, clustering, and pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify patterns of metabolites and pathway changes across the time effects and patient groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Out of 592 identified metabolites, the PMS group exhibited the most changes, with 219 (37%) metabolites changed over time and 132 (22%) changed within the RRMS group (Bonferroni adjusted P < 0.05). Compared to the baseline, there were more significant metabolite differences detected between PMS and RRMS classes at 5YFU. Pathway enrichment analysis detected seven pathways perturbed significantly during 5YFU in MS groups compared to controls. PMS showed more pathway changes compared to the RRMS group.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by a complex etiology that is mirrored by the perplexing and inconsistent treatment responses observed across different patients. Although epigenetic research has garnered rightful interest in its efforts towards demystifying and understanding aberrant responses to treatment, the interim undoubtedly requires alternative non-pharmacological approaches towards attaining more effective management strategies. Of particular interest in this review is resistance training (RT) as a non-pharmacological exercise-based interventional strategy and its potential role as a disease-modifying tool. RT has been reported across literature to positively influence numerous aspects in the quality of life (QoL) and functional capacity of MS patients, and one of the attributes of these benefits may be a shift in the immune system of these individuals. RT has also been proven to affect different immune system key players associated with MS pathology. Ultimately, this brief review aims to provide a potential yet crucial link between RT, alterations in the expression profile of the immune system, and finally an imminent improvement in the overall well-being and QoL of MS patients, suggesting that utilizing RT as an interventional exercise modality may be an effective strategy that would aid in managing such a complex and debilitating disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise is a cornerstone in rehabilitation of persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), which is known to elicit beneficial effects on various symptoms and to have a potential disease-modifying effect. However, it remains to be elucidated if the existing MS exercise literature covers the full age and disability span of pwMS. OBJECTIVE To systematically review MS exercise studies and provide a detailed mapping of the demographic and clinical characteristics of the included pwMS. METHODS A systematic review of MS exercise studies were performed using MEDLINE and EMBASE. From the resulting MS exercise studies, mean sample characteristics were extracted. RESULTS 4576 records were identified, from which 202 studies were included. Of these, 166 studies (82.2%) enrolled pwMS aged 35-54 years, 10.9% enrolled pwMS <35 years, and 6.9% enrolled pwMS ≥55 years (only 1.5% enrolled pwMS ≥60 years). A total of 118 studies (58.4%) reported Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), with 88.1% of included pwMS having an EDSS between 2.0 and 6.5, while only one study enrolled pwMS with an EDSS ≥7.0. Finally, 80% of the studies included pwMS having a disease duration of 5-14.5 years. CONCLUSION Exercise studies in pwMS included primarily middle-aged (35-54 years) pwMS having an EDSS of 2.0-6.5 and a disease duration of 5-14.5 years. Few exercise studies were identified in young and older pwMS, in pwMS with mild disability and severe disability, and in pwMS having shorter or longer disease durations. These findings highlight the need for further investigation of exercise in these specific subgroups of pwMS as benefits of exercise might not generalize across subpopulations.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that leads to the demyelination of nerve axons. An increasing number of studies suggest that patients with MS exhibit altered metabolic profiles, which might contribute to the course of MS. However, the alteration of metabolic profiles in Chinese patients with MS and their potential roles in regulating the immune system remain elusive. In this study, we performed a global untargeted metabolomics approach in plasma samples from 22 MS-affected Chinese patients and 21 healthy subjects. A total of 42 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) belonging to amino acids, lipids, and carbohydrates were identified in the plasma of MS patients and compared with those in healthy controls. We observed an evident reduction in the levels of amino acids, such as L-tyrosine, L-isoleucine, and L-tryptophan, whereas there was a great increase in the levels of L-glutamic acid and L-valine in MS-affected patients. The levels of lipid and carbohydrate metabolites, such as sphingosine 1-phosphate and myo-inositol, were also reduced in patients with MS. In addition, the concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-17 and TNF-α, were significantly increased, whereas those of several anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-1ra, IL-7, and MIP-1α, were distinctly reduced in the plasma of MS patients compared with those in healthy subjects. Interestingly, some DAMs, such as L-tryptophan and sphingosine 1-phosphate, showed an evident negative correlation with changes in the level of TNF-α and IL-17, while tightly positively correlating with altered concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as MIP-1α and RANTES. Our results revealed that altered metabolomic profiles might contribute to the pathogenesis and course of MS disease by modulating immuno-inflammatory responses in the peripheral system, which is essential for eliciting autoimmune responses in the central nervous system, thus resulting in the progression of MS. This study provides potential clues for developing therapeutic strategies for MS in the near future.
