Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal malignancies and is considered the third major cause of mortality globally. Probiotics have been shown to protect against the CRC cascade in numerous studies. Aims The goal of this systematic review was to gather the preclinical studies that examined the impact of probiotics on the alteration of gut microbiota profiles (bacterial communities) and their link to colorectal carcinogenesis as well as the potential processes involved. Methods The search was performed using Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. Five parameters were used to develop search filters: "probiotics," "prebiotics," "synbiotics," "colorectal cancer," and "animal model." Results Of the 399 full texts that were screened, 33 original articles met the inclusion criteria. According to the current findings, probiotics/synbiotics could significantly attenuate aberrant crypt foci (ACF) formation, restore beneficial bacteria in the microbiota population, increase short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and change inflammatory marker expression. Conclusions The present systematic review results indicate that probiotics could modulate the gut microbial composition and immune regulation to combat/inhibit CRC in preclinical models. However, where the evidence is more limited, it is critical to transfer preclinical research into clinical data.

Abstract
IntroductionDespite the accessibility of several live attenuated vaccines for animals, currently, there is no licensed vaccine for brucellosis in human populations. Available and confirmed animal vaccines may be harmful and considered inappropriate for humans. Thus, human vaccines for brucellosis are required. We aimed to evaluate the effects of Brucella vaccines on mouse models and discuss the potential mechanisms of these vaccines for the design of the appropriate human vaccines.Materials and methodsA systematic search was carried out in Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed/Medline databases. The following MeSH terms were applied: brucellosis, vaccine, Brucella, and vaccination. The original manuscripts describing the Brucella vaccines on mouse models were included. The review articles, editorials, correspondences, case reports, case series, duplicate publications, and articles with insufficient data were excluded.ResultsOf the 163 full texts that were screened, 17 articles reached to inclusion criteria. Combining the results of these trials revealed a reduction in bacterial load and colonization rate of Brucella in the spleen, an increase in inflammatory markers, especially IFN-γ and IL-4, and the highest levels of antibody classes in vaccinated animals compared to animals challenged with various virulent strains of Brucella. The majority of studies found that different anti-Brucella vaccines induced a significant protective effect in animals challenged with Brucella strains. Additionally, mice were given the highest level of Brucella vaccine protection and significant clearance of Brucella strains when the immunization was delivered via the IP (intraperitoneal) or IP-IN (intranasal) routes.ConclusionBrucella is responsible for half-million new cases globally annually, and the lack of a proper human vaccine poses the risk of brucellosis. A variety of vaccines are used to prevent brucellosis. Subunit vaccines and recombinant human vaccines have higher safety and protective properties. Although vaccination helps brucellosis control, it does not eradicate the disease. Thus, we recommend the following strategies. (a) establishment of a registration system; (b) close monitoring of slaughterhouses, markets, and herds; (c) training veterinarians; (d) legal protection of the consequences of non-compliance with preventive measures.

Abstract
Prediabetes consists of the intermediary stage between normal glucose regulation and overt diabetes mellitus and develops when blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to confirm a type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis (T2DM). Recent evidence suggests that probiotics could be promising approaches to improve this state. In this study, we performed a systematic review to compile the results of clinical trials investigating the effects of pro-/pre-/synbiotics on prediabetes subjects from 2010 to 2020. The article search was carried out in Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Clinical trials.gov, ProQuest, Open Grey, and Google Scholar. Search filters were developed using 2 parameters: "prestate diabetes" and "probiotics." Of the 418 studies that were screened, 15 original articles reached the inclusion criteria. Pooling data from these trials showed positive and significant effects of probiotics in the reduction of hyperglycemia, insulin concentration levels, lipid profile, and BMI (Body mass index). Administration of probiotics may provide beneficial and healthful effects in the clinical management of patients with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. Different probiotics compositions have shown beneficial and noticeable effects on glucose homeostasis, lipid profiles, BMI, and inflammatory markers in subjects with prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, and healthy individuals and could be advantageous in recomposing the gut microbiota back into the normal state during the prediabetic state.

Abstract
AIMS The main objective of the present study was to assess and compare the safety and inhibitory efficacy of Lactobacillus acidophilus against cholera toxin and shigatoxin production by measuring CTX-B and Stx1 expression level in Caco-2 cells exposed to Vibrio cholerae (as a non-invasive small intestine pathogens and Shigella dysenteriae (as an invasive colon pathogen). METHODS Caco-2 cells were incubated with L. acidophilus 2 h before infection by V. cholerae and S. dysenteriae. Following RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, relative toxins mRNA levels were determined according to a comparative critical threshold (Ct) real-time PCR. L. acidophilus didn't show any cytotoxic effect on Caco-2 cells. RESULTS L. acidophilus revealed a protective effect for Caco-2 cells against S. dysenteriae and V. cholera by 51% and 57%, respectively, which was determined by MTT assay and further confirmed by morphological examination. Pretreatment of Caco-2 cells with L. acidophilus prior to exposure to V. cholerae, attenuated the CTX-B expression in V. cholerae to about 1.76 folds. Expression of Stx1 by S. dysenteriae was also down-regulated to 1.6 folds following pretreatment of Caco-2 cells by L. acidophilus. No significant difference was observed in the attenuator role of L. acidophilus in toxin production by S. dysenteriae as a colon-invasive bacterium, compared with V. cholerae, the non-invasive pathogen of small intestine. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study suggest that L. acidophilus is safe with protective effect for human epithelial colorectal cells, and is effective enough to be applied as a supplementary treatment for attenuation of toxin production in acute infectious diarrhea caused by V. cholerae and S. dysenteriae.

Abstract
The hypothalamus (HYP) and hippocampus (HIP) are important regions involved in stress responses. These areas are also associated with reward processing. In this study, the effects of acute and subchronic stress on the changes in apoptotic factors (Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, caspase-3 activation and PARP degradation) in the HYP and HIP during conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm were evaluated. Male Wistar rats were divided into two saline- and morphine-treated supergroups. Each supergroup contained control, acute stress (AS) and subchronic stress (SS) groups. In all groups, CPP paradigm was done and thereinafter alterations of apoptotic factors were measured by western blot. The results revealed that in the HYP, all mentioned factors increased significantly in saline- or morphine-treated animals during AS and SS. On the other hand, in the HIP, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in saline-treated animals increased significantly during AS and SS, while in morphine-treated animals this ratio did not have any significant alteration during AS and was decreased during SS compared with morphine-control group. Caspase-3 and PARP increased during AS and SS in saline- or morphine-treated animals. For example, caspase-3 increased during AS and SS in morphine-treated animals by 2.4 folds and PARP (89 KDa) increased by 3.1 and 3.5 folds, respectively. Interestingly, the increase of apoptotic factors in morphine-treated animals was more considerable than that of saline-treated animals. These results strongly implied that AS and SS trigger apoptotic events in the HYP and HIP of saline- and/or morphine-treated animals as well as morphine reinforces the effect of stress on the induction of apoptosis.

Abstract
Herein, we investigated the protective effect of Salvia sahendica against H(2)O(2)-induced cell death in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Our data show that S. sahendica blocks apoptosis pathway by inhibition of cytochrome c release from mitochondria and leakage of calcium from endoplasmic reticulum. It also activates/inactivates two members of Bcl-2 family, Bax and Bcl-2. Bax inhibition and Bcl-2 activation suppress release of cytochrome c from mitochondria that prevents cleavage of caspase-3. Besides S. sahendica suppresses ER stress via attenuation of intracellular levels of calcium. Suppression of ER stress decreased calpain activation and subsequently cleavage of caspase-12. Altogether, these results indicate that S. sahendica protects PC12 cells treated with H(2)O(2) via suppression of upstream factors of apoptosis pathway. While oxidative stress is an early event in Alzheimer disease, it seems that S. sahendica prevents deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species by stabilizing mitochondrial membranes and inhibiting ER stress.
