05, p less then 0.01, p less then 0.01, respectively) and of GABAAα1 in the prefrontal cortex (p less then 0.01). Heat-inactivated lactobacilli alleviated these abnormal changes. Antibiotics greatly decreased the Shannon index of the fecal microbiota and significantly increased the number of Proteobacteria (p less then 0.001), with fewer Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes (p less then 0.05). Antibiotics not only cause microbiota dysbiosis, but also cause abnormal changes in important molecules in the gut-brain axis. All these abnormal changes are alleviated by heat-inactivated L. paracasei N1115. This indicates that heat-inactivated L. paracasei N1115 has a certain improvement effect on changes caused by antibiotics.Food contamination by fungi and mycotoxins presents a problem for food safety even today. Since lactic acid (LA) has Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status, the aim of this research was to determine its potential in protection of food against mycological and mycotoxicological contamination. In this study, LA showed an inhibitory effect on the growth of food-borne fungi (Penicillium aurantiogriseum K51, Aspergillus parasiticus KB31, Aspergillus versicolor S72, and Aspergillus niger K95) and on biosynthesis of sterigmatocystin (STE). For the antifungal effect of LA on the growth of food-borne fungi, the disc diffusion and microdilution methods were performed. The effect of LA on the STE biosynthesis by A. versicolor was determined using an LC-MS/MS technique. The largest inhibition zone was observed for A. versicolor (inhibition zone of 24 ± 0.35 mm), while there were no inhibition zones for A. niger and A. parasiticus at all tested LA concentrations. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of LA on fungi ranged from 25.0 mg/mL to 50.0 mg/mL, while the minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) ranged from 50.0 mg/mL to 100.0 mg/mL. Complete inhibition of STE biosynthesis by A. versicolor was observed at an LA concentration of 50.0 mg/mL. The obtained results showed that LA could be efficient for protection of food against mycological and STE contamination.Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) potentially provide the first line of immune defense against enteric pathogens. In addition, there is growing evidence supporting the involvement of IELs in the pathogenesis of gut disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Various kinds of molecules are involved in the dynamics of IELs, such as homing to the intestinal epithelium and retention in the intestinal mucosa. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest family of cell surface receptors and regulate many biological responses. Although some GPCRs, like CCR9, have been implicated to have roles in IEL homing, little is still known regarding the functional roles of GPCRs in IEL biology. In this review, we provide a concise overview of recent advances in the roles of novel GPCRs like GPR55 and GPR18 in the dynamics of IELs.Recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota-derived metabolites affect many biological processes of the host, including appetite control and weight management. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome in obesity influences the metabolism and excretion of gut microbiota byproducts and consequently affects the physiology of the host. Since identification of the gut microbiota-host co-metabolites is essential for clarifying the interactions between the intestinal flora and the host, we conducted this systematic review to summarize all human studies that characterized the gut microbiota-related metabolites in overweight and obese individuals. A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases yielded 2,137 articles documented up to July 2018. After screening abstracts and full texts, 12 articles that used different biosamples and methodologies of metabolic profiling and fecal microbiota analysis were included. Amino acids and byproducts of amino acids, lipids and lipid-like metabolites, bile acids derivatives, and other metabolites derived from degradation of carnitine, choline, polyphenols, and purines are among the gut microbiota-derived metabolites which showed alterations in obesity. These metabolites play an important role in metabolic complications of obesity, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. The results of this study could be useful in development of therapeutic strategies with the aim of modulating gut microbiota and consequently the metabolic profile in obesity.Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos regarding developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Background YouTube is one of the most popular websites used as a source of information, but the variety in authorship and lack of a peer-review process are problems. JAK inhibitor review Methods The search string "developmental dysplasia of the hip" was inputted to the YouTube search engine, and the first 52 videos returned as a response were assessed. The Video Power Index (VPI) (like ratio*view ratio/100) was used to assess the popularity of the videos. Global Quality Score (GQS) and DDH scores (DDHS) were used to evaluate the quality and educational quality of the videos, and the Journal of the American Medical Association Score (JAMAS) was used to evaluate the accuracy of the source of information. Results According to our research, the mean duration time of the videos was 526 seconds (SD 813), and the average view count of the videos was 34,644. The mean time since upload was 1,907 days (SD 1,137). On average, the videos received 10.9 comments, 210.3 likes, and 6.8 dislikes. The mean like ratio and VPI were 92.9 (SD 19.57) and 25.8 (SD 53.43), respectively. The mean JAMAS, GQS, and DDHS of all videos evaluated were 1.37 (SD 0.7), 2.46 (SD 1.09), and 4.63 (SD 5.00), respectively. The DDHS and GQS were positively correlated (p 0.001; r 65.8%). The GQS and the DDHS were higher in the academic group than in the commercial group (p 0.01 and p 0.037, respectively). Conclusions The videos regarding DDH on YouTube generally had poor quality. As a result, to maintain an optimal parent-physician or patient-physician relationship, we suggest that international health societies make their own educational videos for parents, patients, and fellow physicians. Level of evidence Level 3.
