These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 10 September 2020; Accepted: 15 October 2020; Published: 19 October 2020 Abstract: The gut microbiota encompasses a diverse community of bacteria that carry out various functions influencing the overall health of the host. These comprise nutrient metabolism, immune system regulation and natural defence against infection. The presence of certain bacteria is associated with inflammatory molecules that may bring about inflammation in various body tissues. Inflammation underlies many chronic multisystem conditions including obesity, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus and inflammatory bowel disease. Inflammation may be triggered by structural components of the bacteria which can result in a cascade of inflammatory pathways involving interleukins and other cytokines. Similarly, by-products of metabolic processes in bacteria, including some short-chain fatty acids, can play a role in inhibiting inflammatory processes. In this review, we aimed to provide an overview of the relationship between the gut microbiota and inflammatory molecules and to highlight relevant knowledge gaps in this field. -
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: the Quest for the Holy Grail
REVIEW Fecal microbiota transplantation in inflammatory bowel disease: the quest for the holy grail B Pigneur1,2,3,* and H Sokol3,4,5,6,* Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is due to an aberrant immune response toward luminal antigens, probably commensal bacteria, in genetically susceptible subjects and is also influenced by environmental factors. An imbalanced intestinal microbiota known as ‘‘dysbiosis,’’ characterized by an increased proportion of pro-inflammatory microorganisms and a decreased proportion of anti-inflammatory microorganisms, has been repeatedly observed in IBD and is now recognized as a key factor in the gut inflammatory process. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has gained interest as a novel treatment option in IBD. The goal of FMT in IBD is not only to correct the dysbiosis, but also to restore a normal dialog between the host immune system and the microbiota. Data are still scarce, but the results of the first studies suggest that FMTcould be a promising therapy in IBD. More studies are needed to define the best indications, optimal timing, frequency, mode of delivery, and the optimal donor for each patient. INTRODUCTION has only recently been proven to be efficient in a randomized Although major progress has been achieved in recent years, the control trial.8 Following this study, FMT is now being evaluated pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not yet in several other microbiota-driven diseases and particularly in been fully elucidated. It is generally accepted that IBD is caused IBD. CDI is a pure ecological problem characterized by a defect by an aberrant immune response toward luminal antigens, in gut microbiota barrier properties.9,10 IBD, however, is far most likely commensal bacteria, in genetically susceptible more complex and involves a deregulation of the host-microbes subjects and is also under the influence of environmental cross talk. -
Gut Health in Veterinary Medicine: a Bibliometric Analysis of the Literature

Simple Summary: Gut health has been a main topic in veterinary medicine research after the ban on the use of antimicrobial growth promoters. Gut health has been defined as absence/prevention/avoidance of gastrointestinal disease so that the animal is able to perform its physiological functions. A biblio- metric analysis is a set of statistical methods used to explore trends in the scientific literature such as number of publications, most prolific countries and main research areas to highlight publication dynamics and gaps of knowledge. In this case, a bibliometric analysis was performed on veterinary gut health using the database Web of Science and the R package Bibliometrix. A total of 1696 docu- ments were retrieved between 2000 and 2020, showing an increase of 22.4% in the number of annual publications. Pigs (34.8%), poultry (chicken, duck, turkey and quail—33.9%) and aquaculture (fishes, crustaceans and frog—15.0%) were the most studied species while a scarce number of publications was found on felines, cows, horses, rodents, goats and sheep. China (24.7%), USA (17.2%) and Canada (5.7%) were the most productive countries. Three main research lines aimed to explore animal nutrition, prevention of inflammatory diseases and microbiota composition were identified. -

775 Sixth International Conference on Webometrics, Informetrics And
Sixth International Conference on Webometrics, Informetrics and Scientometrics & Eleventh COLLNET Meeting, October 19 – 22, 2010, University of Mysore, ALGORITHMIC GENERATION OF SPECIALTY PROFILES FOR MEDICAL JOURNALS Pudovkin A.I Institute of Marine Biology, Vladivostok 690041, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] E. Garfield ThomsonReuters Scientific, 1500 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, PA 19130-4067, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A procedure for generating a topical profile of a medical journal is proposed. The procedure consists in calculating of the relatedness index Rgeom of a target journal with all 50 JCR medical categories and identification of top-related ones. The set of highly related categories (3 or 5) may be regarded as the specialty profile of the target journal. We illustrate the method by considering the content of 7 medical journals, 6 specialized ones and a leading multi-scope journal: Annals of Surgery, Circulation, Clinical Infectious diseases, European Heart Journal, Gut, Shock, and New England Journal of Medicine. The data for our analyses are taken from the 2006 and 2009 JCR Science Edition ―Related Journals‖ listings for each medical category. It is shown that the resulting specialty profiles are quite stable in time and well correspond to JCR‘s assignment of journals to subject categories. JCR‘s category assignment is a heuristic procedure performed by an expert, while our procedure is comletely algorithmic. KeyWords: journal topical specification; medical journals; JCR; Journal Relatedness Indexes Introduction The problem of classification, that is, specialty characterization of journals is an old and difficult one (Katz and Hicks, 1995; Boyack et al., 2005; Klavans and Boyack, 2006; Leydesdorff, 2006; Zhang et al., 2010a, b). -

Received: 13 October 2020; Accepted: 30 October 2020; Published: 1 November 2020 Abstract: Gut microbiota represent an interesting worldwide research area. Several studies confirm that microbiota has a key role in human diseases, both intestinal (such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, intestinal infectious diseases, irritable bowel syndrome) and extra intestinal disorders (such as autism, multiple sclerosis, rheumatologic diseases). Nowadays, it is possible to manipulate microbiota by administering prebiotics, probiotics or synbiotics, through fecal microbiota transplantation in selected cases. In this scenario, pancreatic disorders might be influenced by gut microbiota and this relationship could be an innovative and inspiring field of research. However, data are still scarce and controversial. Microbiota manipulation could represent an important therapeutic strategy in the pancreatic diseases, in addition to standard therapies. In this review, we analyze current knowledge about correlation between gut microbiota and pancreatic diseases, by discussing on the one hand existing data and on the other hand future possible perspectives.

Abstract: Tea polyphenols (TPs) are the general compounds of natural polyhydroxyphenols extracted in tea. Although a large number of studies have shown that TPs have obvious neuroprotective and neuro repair effects, they are limited due to the low bioavailability in vivo. However, TPs can act indirectly on the central nervous system by affecting the “microflora–gut–brain axis”, in which the microbiota and its composition represent a factor that determines brain health. Bidirectional communication between the intestinal microflora and the brain (microbe–gut–brain axis) occurs through a variety of pathways, including the vagus nerve, immune system, neuroendocrine pathways, and bacteria-derived metabolites. This axis has been shown to influence neurotransmission and behavior, which is usually associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. In this review, we discuss that TPs and their metabolites may provide benefits by restoring the imbalance of intestinal microbiota and Citation: Zhang, Z.; Zhang, Y.; Li, J.; that TPs are metabolized by intestinal flora, to provide a new idea for TPs to play a neuroprotective Fu, C.; Zhang, X.
