Abstract Background COVID-19 is an infectious disease characterized by multiple respiratory and extrapulmonary manifestations, including gastrointestinal symptoms. Although recent studies have linked gut microbiota to diseases such as influenza, little known about the role of in pathophysiology. Methods To better understand host-gut interactions COVID-19, we microbial community barrier function using metagenomic metaproteomic approaches 63 patients 8 non-infected controls. Both...

Though gut microbiome disturbance may be involved in the etiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), data on microbiome's dynamic change during pregnancy and associations with glucose metabolism are still inadequate. In this prospective study comprising 120 pairs GDM patients matched pregnant controls, a decrease diversity microbial species changes community composition advancing gestation found while no such trends observed patients. Multivariable analysis identifies 10 GDM-related...

Abstract Background Circulating levels of amino acids were associated with blood pressure (BP) in observational studies. However, the causation such associations has been hypothesized but is difficult to prove human Here, we aimed use two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses evaluate potential causal circulating BP and risk hypertension. Methods We generated genetic instruments for nine by conducting meta-analyses genome-wide association study (GWAS) UK Biobank participants metabolomic...

Integrative analysis of high-quality metagenomics and metabolomics data from fecal samples provides novel clues for the mechanism underpinning gut microbe-human interactions. However, regarding influence collection methods on both are sparse. Six (the gold standard [GS] [i.e., immediate freezing at -80°C with no solution], 95% ethanol, RNAlater, OMNIgene Gut, occult blood test [FOBT] cards, Microlution) were used to collect 88 eight healthy volunteers whole-genome shotgun sequencing (WGSS)...

Due to climate change, the frequency and intensity of heat waves other extreme weather events are rapidly increasing. Compared general population, pregnant women fetuses increasingly vulnerable effects temperatures associated with occurrence adverse birth outcomes, including preterm (PTB). However, its risk is currently uncertain. The objective research examine effect ambient temperature on PTB in women. This study included 6,850 from Tongji-Shuangliu Birth Cohort.

A prospective cohort study was conducted to investigate sleep status during the early and second trimester of pregnancy in pregnant women on adverse birth outcome, such as preterm birth, low weight small for gestational age. Multivariable logistic regression models were used analyze association with outcomes generated odds ratio 95% confidence interval. 5,418 included analysis. In multivariable model, compared 7.1–8 h/night, ≤ 7 h/night increases risk (OR: 1.43, CI: 1.12,1.85), decreased who...

Emerging evidence has highlighted that olfactory dysfunction, a common feature of aging, is increasingly linked to cognitive decline in older adults. However, research on the underlying mechanism, particularly role nasal microbiome, remains limited. In this study, we investigated associations between function, and cognition among 510 adults with an average age 77.9 years. Olfactory function was assessed using brief Chinese Smell Identification Test, assessments were conducted via Mini-Mental...

Abstract The interplay among cigarette smoking status, oral microbiota, and cardiometabolic health is poorly understood. We aimed to examine the association of status with microbiota assess identified microbial features risk factors in a Chinese population. This study included 587 participants within Central China Cohort, including 111 smokers 476 non-smokers, their was profiled by 16S rRNA sequencing. Both alpha- beta-diversity were distinct between non-smokers ( p < 0.05). With...

Recurrent oral ulcer (ROU) is a prevalent and painful disorder with implications beyond physical symptoms, impacting quality of life necessitating comprehensive management. Understanding the interplays between dietary factors, microbiota, ROU crucial for developing targeted interventions to improve systemic health. Dietary behaviors plant-based diet indices including healthful index (hPDI) were measured based on validated food frequency questionnaire. Saliva microbial features profiled using...

Background Contemporary risk assessment in patients with coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) often relies on invasive angiography. However, we aimed to explore the potential of metabolomic biomarkers reflecting residual CAD after moderate lipid‐lowering therapy. Methods and Results We analyzed serum profile among 2560 newly diagnosed undergoing therapy, through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy quantified 175 metabolites, predominantly lipoproteins their components. severity was...
