Abstract
BACKGROUND Research has showcased a correlation between disruptions in gut microbiota and primary membranous nephropathy (pMN), giving rise to the concept of the 'gut-kidney axis'. However, the precise relationship between gut microbiota and pMN remains elusive. Hence, this study endeavors to investigate whether a causal relationship exists between gut microbiota and pMN utilizing Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS The primary method employed for MR analysis is the inverse variance weighting method, supplemented by MR-Egger and the weighted median method, to infer causality. This approach was validated within the pMN cohort across two distinct populations. RESULTS At the species level, the abundance of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Alistipes indistinctus was negatively correlated with the risk of pMN. Conversely, pMN was positively associated with Bacilli abundance at the class level, Lachnospiraceae abundance at the family level, and Dialister abundance at the genus level. Specifically, at the species level, pMN was positively correlated with the abundance of Ruminococcus lactaris, Dialister invisus, and Coprococcus_sp_ART55_1. CONCLUSION These findings lay the groundwork for future research exploring the interplay between pMN and the gut microbiota, with substantial implications for the prevention and treatment of pMN and its associated complications.

[PMID: 38910967 PMCID: PMC11190430 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
For gastrointestinal anastomosis, metallic biodegradable staples have a broad application potential. However, both magnesium and zinc alloys have relatively low strength to withstand the repeated peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we developed a novel kind of biodegradable high-nitrogen iron (HN-Fe) alloy wires (0.23 mm), which were fabricated into the staples. The tensile results showed that the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of HN-Fe wires were 1023.2 MPa and 51.0 %, respectively, which was much higher than those of other biodegradable wires. The degradation rate in vitro of HN-Fe wires was slightly higher than that of pure Fe wires. After 28 days of immersion, the tensile strength of HN-Fe wires remained not less than 240 MPa, meeting the clinical requirements. Furthermore, sixteen rabbits were enrolled to conduct a comparison experiment using HN-Fe and clinical Ti staples for gastroanastomosis. After 6 months of implantation, a homogeneous degradation product layer on HN-Fe staples was observed and no fracture occurred. The degradation rate of HN-Fe staples in vivo was significantly higher than that in vitro, and they were expected to be completely degraded in 2 years. Meanwhile, both benign cutting and closure performance of HN-Fe staples ensured that all the animals did not experience hemorrhage and anastomotic fistula during the observation. The anastomosis site healed without histopathological change, inflammatory reaction and abnormal blood routine and biochemistry, demonstrating good biocompatibility of HN-Fe staples. Thereby, the favorable performance makes the HN-Fe staples developed in this work a promising candidate for gastrointestinal anastomosis.

Parabacteroides goldsteinii enriched by Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae 'Chachiensis' polysaccharides improves colitis via the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-involved PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:133726.

Abstract
Epidemiological and preclinical studies have indicated a factual association between gut microbiota dysbiosis and high incidence of colitis. Dietary polysaccharides can specifically shift the composition of gut microbiome response to colitis. Here we validated the preventive role of polysaccharides from Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae 'Chachiensis' (PCRCP), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, in colitis induced by dextrose sodium sulfate (DSS) in both rats and mice. We found that treatment with PCRCP not only significantly reduced DSS-induced colitis via down-regulating colonic inflammatory signaling pathways including PI3K-Akt, NLRs and NF-κB, but also enhanced colonic barrier integrity in rats. These protective activities of PCRCP against DSS-induced injuries in rats were in part due to the modulation of the gut microbiota revealed by both broad-spectrum antibiotic (ABX)-deleted bacterial and non-oral treatments. Furthermore, the improvement of PCRCP on colitis was impaired by intestinal neomycin-sensitive bacteria in DSS-exposed mice. Specifically, in vivo and in vitro treatment with PCRCP led to a highly sensible enrichment in the gut commensal Parabacteroides goldsteinii. Administration of Parabacteroides goldsteinii significantly alleviated typical symptoms of colitis and suppressed the activation of PI3K-Akt-involved inflammatory response in DSS-exposed mice. The anti-colitic effects of Parabacteroides goldsteinii were abolished after the activation of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway by lipopolysaccharide treatment in mice exposed to DSS. This study provides new insights into an anti-colitic mechanism driven by PCRCP and highlights the potential prebiotic of Parabacteroides goldsteinii for the prevention of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigated the separate impacts of diet and pre-operative antibiotics on gut microbiome and colonic anastomotic healing using a mouse model. METHODS Male C57BL/6J mice were fed either low-fat-high-fibre (SD) or high-fat-low-fiber (WD) groups for 6 weeks, then further received either pre-operative antibiotics or a control sham before a colonic anastomotic procedure was performed. After 7 days, the anastomosis was assessed and microbiota composition and biodiversity were analyzed in anastomotic tissue and stool. RESULTS WD-fed mice had shorter survival (5.2 ± 2.3 vs. 6.9 ± 2.3 days, p = 0.022), increased weight loss (5.55 ± 3.80g vs. 2.65 ± 2.36g, p = 0.03), and reduced biodiversity compared to SD-fed mice. Pre-operative antibiotics improved anastomotic healing scores (1.33 ± 0.65 vs. 2.08 ± 0.79, p = 0.02) and reduced Enterococcus faecalis growth in tissue and stool (p = 0.02, p = 0.02). Improved anastomotic healing correlated with lower Enterococcus abundance (p = 0.04) and higher collagen III and IV levels (p = 0.01, 0.04) in anastomotic tissue. CONCLUSION SD promotes enhanced post-operative recovery and increased microbiome biodiversity, while pre-operative antibiotics enhance anastomotic healing by suppressing Enterococcus faecalis growth, mitigating collagen III/IV degradation.

Abstract
The ISS rodent habitat has provided crucial insights into the impact of spaceflight on mammals, inducing symptoms characteristic of liver disease, insulin resistance, osteopenia, and myopathy. Although these physiological responses can involve the microbiome on Earth, host-microbiota interactions during spaceflight are still being elucidated. We explore murine gut microbiota and host gene expression in the colon and liver after 29 and 56 days of spaceflight using multiomics. Metagenomics revealed significant changes in 44 microbiome species, including relative reductions in bile acid and butyrate metabolising bacteria like Extibacter muris and Dysosmobacter welbionis. Functional prediction indicate over-representation of fatty acid and bile acid metabolism, extracellular matrix interactions, and antibiotic resistance genes. Host gene expression described corresponding changes to bile acid and energy metabolism, and immune suppression. These changes imply that interactions at the host-gut microbiome interface contribute to spaceflight pathology and that these interactions might critically influence human health and long-duration spaceflight feasibility.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly prevalent and is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The incidence rate of CRC remains alarmingly high despite screening measures. The main curative treatment for CRC is a surgical resection of the diseased bowel segment. Postoperative complications usually involve a weakened gut barrier and a dissemination of bacterial proinflammatory lipopolysaccharides. Herein we discuss how gut microbiota and microbial metabolites regulate basal inflammation levels in the gut and the healing process of the bowel after surgery. We further elaborate on the restoration of the gut barrier function in patients with CRC and how this potentially impacts the dissemination and implantation of CRC cells in extracolonic tissues, contributing therefore to worse survival after surgery.

Abstract
Over the last decades, surgical complication rates have fallen drastically. With the introduction of new surgical techniques coupled with specific evidence-based perioperative care protocols, patients today run half the risk of complications compared with traditional care. Many patients who in previous years needed weeks of hospital care now recover and can leave in days. These remarkable improvements are achieved by using nutritional stress-reducing care elements for the surgical patient that reduce metabolic stress and allow for the return of gut function. This new approach to nutritional care and how it is delivered as an integral part of enhancing recovery after surgery are outlined in this review. We also summarize the new and increased understanding of the effects of the routes of delivering nutrition and the role of the gut, as well as the current recommendations for artificial nutritional support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of the response to preoperative treatment enables the provision of a more appropriate personalized therapeutic schedule for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), which remains an enormous challenge, especially neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemoradiotherapy (nICRT). METHODS This prospective, multicenter cohort study enrolled patients with LARC from 6 centers who received nICRT. The dynamic variation in the gut microbiome during nICRT was evaluated. A species-level gut microbiome prediction (SPEED) model was developed and validated to predict the pathological complete response (pCR) to nICRT. FINDINGS A total of 50 patients were enrolled, 75 fecal samples were collected from 33 patients at different time points, and the pCR rate reached 42.4% (14/33). Lactobacillus and Eubacterium were observed to increase after nICRT. Additionally, significant differences in the gut microbiome were observed between responders and non-responders at baseline. Significantly higher abundances of Lachnospiraceaebacterium and Blautiawexlerae were found in responders, while Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Porphyromonas were found in non-responders. The SPEED model showcased a superior predictive performance with areas under the curve of 98.80% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 95.67%-100%) in the training cohort and 77.78% (95% CI: 65.42%-88.29%) in the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS Programmed death 1 (PD-1) blockade plus concurrent long-course CRT showed a favorable pCR rate and is well tolerated in microsatellite-stable (MSS)/mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR) patients with LARC. The SPEED model can be used to predict the pCR to nICRT based on the baseline gut microbiome with high robustness and accuracy, thereby assisting clinical physicians in providing individualized management for patients with LARC.

Abstract
The prebiotic inulin has been vaunted for its potential to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Inulin fermentation resulting in the production of short-chain fatty acids, primarily butyrate, has been reported to be associated with properties that are beneficial for gut health and has led to an increased consumption of inulin in the Western population through processed food and over-the-counter dietary supplements. However, in clinical trials, there is limited evidence of the efficacy of inulin in preventing colorectal cancer. Moreover, recent data suggest that improper inulin consumption may even be harmful for gastro-intestinal health under certain circumstances. The main objective of this review is to provide insight into the beneficial and potentially detrimental effects of inulin supplementation in the context of colorectal cancer prevention and enhancement of treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BrCa) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in women and one of the leading causes of female mortality. Its occurrence and progression are influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, lifestyle, and hormones. In recent years, the gut microbiota has been identified as a significant factor affecting BrCa. The gut microbiota refers to the collective population of various microorganisms in the human gastrointestinal tract. Gut microbiota is closely associated with human health and disease development, participating in crucial physiological functions such as digestion, metabolism, immune response, and neural regulation. It has been found to influence the occurrence and treatment of BrCa through a variety of mechanisms. This article aims to review the immunomodulatory role of the gut microbiota in the development and treatment of BrCa.

Abstract
The sphere of artificial intelligence (AI) is ever expanding. Applications for clinical practice have been emerging over recent years. Although its uptake has been most prominent in endoscopy, this represents only one aspect of holistic patient care. There are a multitude of other potential avenues in which gastrointestinal care may be involved. We aim to review the role of AI in colorectal cancer as a whole. We performed broad scoping and focused searches of the applications of AI in the field of colorectal cancer. All trials including qualitative research were included from the year 2000 onwards. Studies were grouped into pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative aspects. Pre-operatively, the major use is with endoscopic recognition. Colonoscopy has embraced the use for human derived classifications such as Narrow-band Imaging International Colorectal Endoscopic, Japan Narrow-band Imaging Expert Team, Paris and Kudo. However, novel detection and diagnostic methods have arisen from advances in AI classification. Intra-operatively, adjuncts such as image enhanced identification of structures and assessment of perfusion have led to improvements in clinical outcomes. Post-operatively, monitoring and surveillance have taken strides with potential socioeconomic and environmental savings. The uses of AI within the umbrella of colorectal surgery are multiple. We have identified existing technologies which are already augmenting cancer care. The future applications are exciting and could at least match, if not surpass human standards.

Abstract
Background The relationship between gut microbiota and breast cancer has been extensively studied; however, changes in gut microbiota after breast cancer surgery are still largely unknown. Materials and methods A total of 20 patients with breast cancer underwent routine open surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from 1 June 2022 to 1 December 2022. Stool samples were collected from the patients undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer preoperatively, 3 days later, and 7 days later postoperatively. The stool samples were subjected to 16s rRNA sequencing. Results Surgery did not affect the α-diversity of gut microbiota. The β-diversity and composition of gut microorganisms were significantly affected by surgery in breast cancer patients. Both linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis and between-group differences analysis showed that surgery led to a decrease in the abundance of Firmicutes and Lachnospiraceae and an increase in the abundance of Proteobacteria and Enterobacteriaceae. Moreover, 127 differential metabolites were screened and classified into 5 categories based on their changing trends. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed significant changes in the phenylalanine metabolic pathway and exogenous substance metabolic pathway. Eight characterized metabolites were screened using ROC analysis. Conclusion Our study found that breast cancer surgery significantly altered gut microbiota composition and metabolites, with a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in potentially harmful bacteria. This underscores the importance of enhanced postoperative management to optimize gut microbiota.

Abstract
Backgrounds Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important component of tumor microenvironment, and its abnormal expression promotes tumor formation, progression and metastasis. Methods Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify ECM-related hub genes based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) data. COAD clinical samples were used to verify the expression of potential biomarkers in tumor tissues, and siRNA was used to explore the role of potential biomarkers in cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Results Three potential biomarkers (LEP, NGF and PCOLCE2) related to prognosis of COAD patients were identified and used to construct ERGPI. Immunohistochemical analysis of clinical samples showed that the three potential biomarkers were highly expressed in tumor tissues of COAD patients. Knockdown of LEP, NGF or PCOLCE2 inhibited COAD cell proliferation and EMT. Dictamnine inhibited tumor cell growth by binding to these three potential biomarkers based on molecular docking and transplanted tumor model. Conclusion The three biomarkers can provide new ideas for the diagnosis and targeted therapy of COAD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of antimicrobial prophylaxis with ampicillin-sulbactam (ABPC/SBT) compared with cefazolin (CEZ) on the short-term outcomes after esophagectomy. BACKGROUND CEZ is widely used for antimicrobial prophylaxis in esophagectomy without procedure-specific evidence, whereas ABPC/SBT is preferred in some hospitals to target both aerobic and anaerobic oral bacteria. METHODS Data of patients who underwent esophagectomy for cancer between July 2010 and March 2019 were extracted from a nationwide Japanese inpatient database. Overlap propensity score weighting was conducted to compare the short-term outcomes [including surgical site infection (SSI), anastomotic leakage, and respiratory failure] between antimicrobial prophylaxis with CEZ and ABPC/SBT after adjusting for potential confounders. Sensitivity analyses were also performed using propensity score matching and instrumental variable analyses. RESULTS Among 17,772 eligible patients, 16,077 (90.5%) and 1695 (9.5%) patients were administered CEZ and ABPC/SBT, respectively. SSI, anastomotic leakage, and respiratory failure occurred in 2971 (16.7%), 2604 (14.7%), and 2754 patients (15.5%), respectively. After overlap weighting, ABPC/SBT was significantly associated with a reduction in SSI [odds ratio 0.51 (95% CI: 0.43-0.60)], anastomotic leakage [0.51 (0.43-0.61)], and respiratory failure [0.66 (0.57-0.77)]. ABPC/SBT was also associated with reduced respiratory complications, postoperative length of stay, and total hospitalization costs. The proportion of Clostridioides difficile colitis and noninfectious complications did not differ between the groups. Propensity score matching and instrumental variable analyses demonstrated equivalent results. CONCLUSIONS The administration of ABPC/SBT as antimicrobial prophylaxis for esophagectomy was associated with better short-term postoperative outcomes compared with CEZ.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen is typically delivered to patients via oxygen inhalation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), potentially resulting in systemic hyperoxia from liberal oxygen inhalation or localized hyperoxia in the lower body from peripheral venoarterial (VA) ECMO. Consequently, this exposes the gastrointestinal tract to excessive oxygen levels. Hyperoxia can trigger organ damage due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species and is associated with increased mortality. The gut and gut microbiome play pivotal roles in critical illnesses and even small variations in oxygen levels can have a dramatic influence on the physiology and ecology of gut microbes. Here, we reviewed the emerging preclinical evidence which highlights how excessive inhaled oxygen can provoke diffuse villous damage, barrier dysfunction in the gut, and gut dysbiosis. The hallmark of this dysbiosis includes the expansion of oxygen-tolerant pathogens (e.g., Enterobacteriaceae) and the depletion of beneficial oxygen-intolerant microbes (e.g., Muribaculaceae). Furthermore, we discussed potential impact of oxygen on the gut in various underlying critical illnesses involving inspiratory oxygen and peripheral VA-ECMO. Currently, the available findings in this area are somewhat controversial, and a consensus has not yet to be reached. It appears that targeting near-physiological oxygenation levels may offer a means to avoid hyperoxia-induced gut injury and hypoxia-induced mesenteric ischemia. However, the optimal oxygenation target may vary depending on special clinical conditions, including acute hypoxia in adults and neonates, as well as particular patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery or VA-ECMO support. Last, we outlined the current challenges and the need for future studies in this area. Insights into this vital ongoing research can assist clinicians in optimizing oxygenation for critically ill patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anastomotic leak (AL) is a major complication in colorectal cancer surgery and consists of the leakage of intestinal content through a poorly healed colonic wound. Colorectal cancer recurrence after surgery is a major determinant of survival. We hypothesize that AL may allow cancer cells to escape the gut and lead to cancer recurrence and that improving anastomotic healing may prevent local implantation and metastatic dissemination of cancer cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We investigated the association between AL and postoperative outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer. Using mouse models of poor anastomotic healing, we assessed the processes of local implantation and dissemination of cancer cells. The effect of dietary supplementation with inulin and 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA), which activate PPAR-γ in the gut, on local anastomotic tumors was assessed in mice undergoing colonic surgery. Inulin and 5-ASA were also assessed in a mouse model of liver metastasis. RESULTS Patients experiencing AL displayed lower overall and oncologic survival than non-AL patients. Poor anastomotic healing in mice led to larger anastomotic and peritoneal tumors. The microbiota of patients with AL displays a lower capacity to activate the antineoplastic PPAR-γ in the gut. Modulation of gut microbiota using dietary inulin and 5-ASA reinforced the gut barrier and prevented anastomotic tumors and metastatic spread in mice. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reinforce the hypothesis that preventing AL is paramount to improving oncologic outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery. Furthermore, they pave the way toward dietary targeting of PPAR-γ as a novel way to enhance healing and diminish cancer recurrence.

[PMID: 38247638 PMCID: PMC10812415 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13010079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM An anastomotic leak is an unpredictable postoperative complication during recovery from colorectal surgery that may require a re-operation. Potentially pathogenic bacteria like Pseudomonas (and Enterococcus) contribute to the pathogenesis of an anastomotic leak through their capacity to degrade collagen and to activate tissue matrix metalloprotease-9 in host intestinal tissues. The microbiome, therefore, is the key to preventing an anastomotic leak after colorectal surgery. The aim of this trial was to investigate whether perioperative selective decontamination with a new mixture of locally acting antibiotics specially designed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis can reduce or even stop early symptomatic leakage. METHOD All hospitalized patients in our University Clinic undergoing colorectal surgery with a left-sided anastomosis were included as two groups; patients in the intervention group received polymyxin B, gentamicin and vancomycin every six hours for five postoperative days and those in the control group did not receive such an intervention. An anastomotic leak was defined as a clinically obvious defect of the intestinal wall integrity at the colorectal anastomosis site (including suture) that leads to a communication between the intra- and extraluminal compartments, requiring a re-do surgery within seven postoperative days. RESULTS Between February 2017 and May 2023, a total of 301 patients (median age of 63 years) were analyzed. An anastomotic leak was observed in 11 patients in the control group (n = 152), but in no patients in the intervention group (n = 149); this difference was highly significant. CONCLUSION The antibiotic mixture (with polymyxin B, gentamicin and vancomycin) used for local decontamination in our study stopped the occurrence of anastomotic leaks completely. According to the definition of anastomotic leak, no further surgery was required after local perioperative decontamination.

Abstract
Major surgery exposes the intestinal microbiota to inflammatory and antibiotic stressors, which alter the microbiota composition of the intestinal lumen and fecal contents. However, it is not sufficiently understood, if such dysbiosis develops already during surgery and if alterations in microbiota may be the cause of surgical complications. End-of-surgery composition of the microbiota in the rectum was assessed in 41 patients undergoing either rectal or duodenopancreatic resection and was compared to baseline before surgery using 16S-rRNA sequencing. A subset of patients developed severe dysbiosis at the end of surgery, which was characterized by an overgrowth of the Proteobacteria phylum that includes the facultative pathogen E. coli. To test if dysbiosis impacts on surgical outcomes, dysbiosis was modeled in mice by a single oral administration of vancomycin prior to cecal ligation and puncture. Dysbiosis was associated with impaired post-surgical survival, dysregulation of the host's immune response, elevated bacterial virulence and reduced bacterial metabolism of carbon sources. In conclusion, dysbiosis can be detected already at the end of surgery in a fraction of patients undergoing major surgery. Modelling surgery-associated dysbiosis in mice using single-shot administration of vancomycin induced dysbiosis and resulted in elevated mortality.

Int J Colorectal Dis 2023; 38:275.

Abstract
PURPOSE Some gut bacteria can produce enzymes (collagenases) that can break down collagen in the intestinal wall. This could be a part of the pathophysiology of anastomotic leakage (AL). This systematic review aimed to investigate if such bacteria were present more frequently in AL patients versus non-AL patients following colorectal surgery. METHODS This systematic review was reported according to the PRISMA and AMSTAR guidelines. Before the literature search, a study protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022363454). We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane CENTRAL on April 9th, 2023, for randomized and observational human studies of AL following colorectal surgery with information on gastrointestinal bacteria. The primary outcome was bacteria with the potential to produce collagenase. The risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, as all studies were observational. RESULTS We included 15 studies, with a total of 52,945 patients, of which 1,747 had AL, and bacteriological information from feces, mucosa, the resected specimen, or drain fluid was presented. In 10 of the 15 studies, one or more collagenase-producing bacteria were identified in the patients with AL. Neither the bacteria nor the collagenase production were quantified in any of the studies. The studies varied greatly in terms of sample material, analytical method, and time of collection. Studies using DNA sequencing methods did not report findings of collagenase-producing bacteria. CONCLUSION Collagenase-producing bacteria are more common in patients with AL following colorectal surgery than in patients without AL, but the significance is unclear. From the current studies, it is not possible to determine the pathogenicity of the individual gut bacteria.

Abstract
Host diet and gut microbiota interact to contribute to perioperative complications, including anastomotic leak (AL). Using a murine surgical model of colonic anastomosis, we investigated how diet and fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) impacted the intestinal microbiota and if a predictive signature for AL could be determined. We hypothesized that a Western diet (WD) would impact gut microbial composition and that the resulting dysbiosis would correlate with increased rates of AL, while FMT from healthy, lean diet (LD) donors would reduce the risk of AL. Furthermore, we predicted that surgical outcomes would allow for the development of a microbial preclinical translational tool to identify AL. Here, we show that AL is associated with a dysbiotic microbial community characterized by increased levels of Bacteroides and Akkermansia. We identified several key taxa that were associated with leak formation, and developed an index based on the ratio of bacteria associated with the absence and presence of leak. We also highlight a modifiable connection between diet, microbiota, and anastomotic healing, potentially paving the way for perioperative modulation by microbiota-targeted therapeutics to reduce AL.

Abstract
AIMS The gut microbiota has been found to be altered in different inflammatory disorders, but its involvement in the regulation of inflammatory cytokines remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impacts of gut microbiota on circulating inflammatory cytokines and their potential roles in host diseases. MAIN METHODS Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted using summary-level data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify significant causal associations between 196 gut microbiota and 41 inflammatory cytokines. Meta-analysis was applied to test the robustness of the results. Enrichment analyses of identified cytokines were further utilized to infer the effects of gut microbiota on the host. KEY FINDINGS The MR analyses and meta-analyses identified the following significant causal associations: phylum Euryarchaeota on interleukin-2 (IL-2) (βIVW = 0.085, P = 1.5 × 10-2) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) (βIVW = 0.065, P = 4.1 × 10-2), phylum Tenericutes and class Mollicutes on macrophage inflammatory protein 1a (MIP1a) (βIVW = -0.142, P = 7.0 × 10-3), class Bacilli on hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (βIVW = -0.106, P = 2.5 × 10-2), order Enterobacteriales on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) (βIVW = 0.182, P = 1.8 × 10-2), and genus Lachnospiraceae NC2004 group on TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) (βIVW = -0.207, P = 6.0 × 10-4). Enrichment analyses suggested that phylum Euryarchaeota and order Enterobacteriales might be risk factors for certain autoimmune diseases and neoplasms, while the phylum Tenericutes may have a protective effect. SIGNIFICANCE This study represents the first evidence confirming the causal effect of specific gut microbial taxa on circulating inflammatory cytokines and sheds light on their potential roles in the development and progression of various host diseases.

Abstract
Obesity is a crucial health problem because it leads to several chronic diseases with an increased risk of mortality and it is very hard to reverse with conventional treatment including changes in lifestyle and pharmacotherapy. Bariatric surgery (BS), comprising a range of various surgical procedures that modify the digestive tract favouring weight loss, is considered the most effective medical intervention to counteract severe obesity, especially in the presence of metabolic comorbidities. The Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery (ERABS) protocols include a set of recommendations that can be applied before and after BS. The primary aim of ERABS protocols is to facilitate and expedite the recovery process while enhancing the overall effectiveness of bariatric procedures. ERABS protocols include indications about preoperative fasting as well as on how to feed the patient on the day of the intervention, and how to nourish and hydrate in the days after BS. This narrative review examines the application, the feasibility and the efficacy of ERABS protocols applied to the field of nutrition. We found that ERABS protocols, in particular not fasting the patient before the surgery, are often not correctly applied for reasons that are not evidence-based. Furthermore, we identified some gaps in the research about some practises that could be implemented in the presence of additional evidence.

Abstract
Men demonstrate higher incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) than women. This study aims to explain the potential causes of such sexual dimorphism in CRC from the perspective of sex-biased gut microbiota and metabolites. The results show that sexual dimorphism in colorectal tumorigenesis is observed in both ApcMin/ + mice and azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated mice with male mice have significantly larger and more tumors, accompanied by more impaired gut barrier function. Moreover, pseudo-germ mice receiving fecal samples from male mice or patients show more severe intestinal barrier damage and higher level of inflammation. A significant change in gut microbiota composition is found with increased pathogenic bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila and deplets probiotic Parabacteroides goldsteinii in both male mice and pseudo-germ mice receiving fecal sample from male mice. Sex-biased gut metabolites in pseudo-germ mice receiving fecal sample from CRC patients or CRC mice contribute to sex dimorphism in CRC tumorigenesis through glycerophospholipids metabolism pathway. Sexual dimorphism in tumorigenesis of CRC mouse models. In conclusion, the sex-biased gut microbiome and metabolites contribute to sexual dimorphism in CRC. Modulating sex-biased gut microbiota and metabolites could be a potential sex-targeting therapeutic strategy of CRC.

Abstract
Ileocecal resection (ICR) is frequently performed in Crohn's disease (CD). NOD2 mutations are risk factors for CD. Nod2 knockout (ko) mice show impaired anastomotic healing after extended ICR. We further investigated the role of NOD2 after limited ICR. C57B16/J (wt) and Nod2 ko littermates underwent limited ICR including 1-2 cm terminal ileum and were randomly assigned to vehicle or MDP treatment. Bursting pressure was measured on POD 5, and the anastomosis was analyzed for matrix turn-over and granulation tissue. Wound fibroblasts from subcutaneously implanted sponges were used for comparison. The M1/M2 macrophage plasma cytokines were analyzed. Mortality was not different between groups. Bursting pressure was significantly decreased in ko mice. This was associated with less granulation tissue but was not affected by MDP. However, anastomotic leak (AL) rate tended to be lower in MDP-treated ko mice (29% vs. 11%, p = 0.07). mRNA expression of collagen-1α (col1 α), collagen-3α (col3 α), matrix metalloproteinase (mmp)2 and mmp9 was increased in ko mice, indicating increased matrix turn-over, specifically in the anastomosis. Systemic TNF-α expression was significantly lower in ko mice. Ileocolonic healing is impaired in Nod2 ko mice after limited ICR by local mechanisms maybe including local dysbiosis.

Abstract
The fungal microbiota is an important component of the complex multikingdom microbial community colonizing the mammalian gastrointestinal tract and has an important role in immune regulation. However, how fungi regulate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is poorly understood. This study found that intestinal fungi regulate immune responses in IBD. Antibiotic-mediated depletion of fungi facilitated the development of IBD. Fungi greatly enhanced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) by enhancing glutaminolysis. Mechanistically, we found that fungi could activate the dectin-1-Syk- NF-κB signaling pathway to promote the expression of key enzymes and transporters involved in glutaminolysis. In summary, our findings reveal that fungal interactions in the human gut could be a promising therapeutic target for IBD.

Abstract
Recovery from gastrointestinal (GI) surgery is often interrupted by the unpredictable occurrence of postoperative complications, including infections, anastomotic leak, GI dysmotility, malabsorption, cancer development, and cancer recurrence, in which the implication of gut microbiota is beginning to emerge. Gut microbiota can be imbalanced before surgery due to the underlying disease and its treatment. The immediate preparations for GI surgery, including fasting, mechanical bowel cleaning, and antibiotic intervention, disrupt gut microbiota. Surgical removal of GI segments also perturbs gut microbiota due to GI tract reconstruction and epithelial barrier destruction. In return, the altered gut microbiota contributes to the occurrence of postoperative complications. Therefore, understanding how to balance the gut microbiota during the perioperative period is important for surgeons. We aim to overview the current knowledge to investigate the role of gut microbiota in recovery from GI surgery, focusing on the crosstalk between gut microbiota and host in the pathogenesis of postoperative complications. A comprehensive understanding of the postoperative response of the GI tract to the altered gut microbiota provides valuable cues for surgeons to preserve the beneficial functions and suppress the adverse effects of gut microbiota, which will help to enhance recovery from GI surgery.
