The present review highlights the role of the gut microbiota in CRC precipitation, the potential mechanisms and use of microorganisms as CRC biomarkers, and strategies to modulate microbiota for the prevention and treatment of CRC.Patient context - the "envirome" - can have a significant impact on patient health. While envirome indicators are available through large scale public data sources, they are not provided in a format that can be easily accessed and interpreted at the point of care by healthcare providers with limited time during a patient encounter. We developed a clinical decision support tool to bring envirome indicators to the point of care in a large pediatric hospital system in the Kansas City region. The Envirome Web Service (EWS) securely geocodes patient addresses in real time to link their records with publicly available context data. End-users guided the design of the EWS, which presents summaries of patient context data in the electronic health record (EHR) without disrupting the provider workflow. Through surveys, focus groups, and a formal review by hospital staff, the EWS was deployed into production use, integrating publicly available data on food access with the hospital EHR. Evaluation of EWS usage during the 2020 calendar year shows that 1,034 providers viewed the EWS, with a total of 29,165 sessions. This suggests that the EWS was successfully integrated with the EHR and is highly visible. The results also indicate that 63 (6.1%) of the providers are regular users that opt to maintain the EWS in their custom workflows, logging more than 100 EWS sessions during the year. The vendor agnostic design of the EWS supports interoperability and makes it accessible to health systems with disparate EHR vendors.Strain Marseille-P1302 was isolated from the stool of a 2-year-old Nigerian boy suffering from Kwashiorkor, a form of severe acute malnutrition. The strain grows in aerobic atmosphere and bacterial cells are Gram-positive cocci ranging in diameter from 0.8 to 1 μm. Strain Marseille-P1302 exhibits a 16S rRNA sequence similarity of 94.97% with Brevilactibacter flavus strain VG341T, but phylogenetically-closest species with standing in nomenclature is Brevilactibacter sinopodophylli strains KCTC 33808Twith the sequence similarity of 93.41%. The draft genome of strain Marseille-P1302 is 2,934,258bp-long with a 70.38% G+C content, and contains 2,704 protein-coding genes and 55 RNAs that includes 9 rRNA genes. On the basis of these data, we propose the creation of the new genus Nigeribacterium gen. nov., with strain Marseille-P1302T (= CSUR P1302 = DSM 29084) being the type strain of new species Nigeribacterium. massiliense gen. nov., sp. nov.Ascaris lumbricoides and A. suum are two closely related parasites that infect humans and pigs. The zoonotic potential of A. suum has been a matter of debate for decades. Here we sought to investigate the potential human infection by A. suum and its immunological alterations. We orally infected five healthy human subjects with eggs embraced by A. suum. The infection was monitored for symptoms and possible respiratory changes, by an interdisciplinary health team. Parasitological, hematological analyses, serum immunoglobulin, cytokine profiles, and gene expression were evaluated during the infection. Bucladesine order Our results show that A. suum is able to infect and complete the cycle in humans causing A. lumbricoides similar symptoms, including, cough, headache, diarrhea, respiratory discomfort and chest x-ray alterations coinciding with larvae migration in the lungs. We also observed activation of the immune system with production of IgM and IgG and a Th2/Th17 response with downregulation of genes related to Th1 and apoptosis. PCA (Principal componts analysis) show that infection with A. suum leads to a change in the immune landscape of the human host. Our data reinforce the zoonotic capacity of A. suum and bring a new perspective on the understanding of the immune response against this parasite.In this work, the application of various mesoporous silica grades in the preparation of stabilized ternary amorphous solid dispersions of Felodipine using hot melt extrusion was explored. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of mesoporous silica in these dispersions without the need for any organic solvents i.e., no pre-loading or immersion steps required. The physical and chemical properties, release profiles of the prepared formulations and the surface concentrations of the various molecular species were investigated in detail. Formulations containing 25 wt% and 50 wt% of Felodipine demonstrated enhanced stability and solubility of the drug substance compared to its crystalline counterpart. Based on the Higuchi model, ternary formulations exhibited a 2-step or 3-step release pattern which can be ascribed to the release of drug molecules from the organic polymer matrix and the external silica surface, followed by a release from the silica pore structure. According to the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, the release rate and release mechanism are governed by a complex quasi-Fickian release mechanism, in which multiple release mechanisms are occurring concurrently and consequently. Stability studies indicated that after 6 months storage of all formulation at 30% RH and 20 °C, Felodipine in all formulations remained stable in its amorphous state except for the formulation comprised of 40 wt% Syloid AL-1FP with a 50 wt% drug load.Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is one of the most lethal malignant tumors, its drug resistance, immunosuppression and metastasis makes the traditional chemotherapy and immunotherapy inefficient. Here we confirmed a 3-aminophenylboronic acid-modified low molecular weight heparin-D-α-tocopheryl succinate micellar nanoparticle (PBA-LMWH-TOS NP, PLT NP) could inhibit orthotopic pancreatic tumor and its spontaneous metastases. The small particle size and high affinity of PBA to sialic acid residue (SA) made PLT/PTX NPs significantly targeted and accumulated in both pancreatic tumor tissues and metastases. The immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic tumor was most caused by the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells, mainly myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). We first reported that P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) was expressed on the surfaces of MDSCs in pancreatic tumor tissues. Meanwhile, we found that LMWH could inhibit the early stage of adhesion cascade between vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and MDSCs by interfering with P-selectin/PSGL-1 binding, thus inhibiting MDSC recruitment to pancreatic tumor tissues.
