Antibiotic use as a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease across the ages: a population-based cohort study

Adam S. Faye et al.

Summary: This study used Danish nationwide registries to investigate the association between antibiotic exposure and the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results showed that antibiotic exposure was associated with an increased risk of IBD, especially in individuals aged 40 years and older. The risk was highest within 1-2 years after antibiotic exposure and with the use of antibiotics targeting gastrointestinal pathogens.

Harnessing polymer-derived drug delivery systems for combating inflammatory bowel disease

Yuji Pu et al.

Summary: The current clinical treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) suffer from severe side effects, low long-term treatment efficacy, and increased risks of infection and malignancy. However, naturally bioactive small molecules, reactive oxygen species scavengers, and gut microbiota modulators have emerged as promising candidates for IBD treatment. Polymeric systems have been engineered as delivery vehicles to improve the bioavailability and efficacy of these therapeutic agents, while reducing their systemic toxicity. This article surveys polymer-derived drug delivery systems for combating IBD.

Stable colonization of Akkermansia muciniphila educates host intestinal microecology and immunity to battle against inflammatory intestinal diseases

Bin Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers found that stable colonization of live A. muciniphila at lesion sites is essential for its anti-inflammatory function.

Exosome based miRNA delivery strategy for disease treatment

Zhengwen Fang et al.

Summary: miRNAs are non-coding RNAs that play an important role in regulating physiological activities by targeting various mRNAs. However, the degradation of miRNA in vivo limits its clinical application. Exosomes, with their ability to cross biological barriers and communicate with cells, are excellent carriers for miRNAs. It has been shown that exosomes loaded with miRNAs can enrich specific endogenous miRNAs and regulate various physiological activities. They have shown promising performance in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease treatment, and regenerative medicine. This paper provides a systematic description of the application and research progress of exosomes carrying miRNA in these fields.

Summary: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by inflammation limited to the mucosa, but persistent clinical disease activity can occur even when mucosal healing has been achieved. UC increases the risk of disease progression and can lead to various complications. Unlike Crohn's disease, halting the progression of UC has been overlooked. This review highlights the progressive nature of UC and proposes further study of its natural history and treatment goals.

Functional brain rewiring and altered cortical stability in ulcerative colitis

Hao Wang et al.

Summary: Despite recent advances, there is still a major need to better understand the interactions between brain function and chronic gut inflammation and its clinical implications. Alterations in executive function have previously been identified in several chronic inflammatory conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases. The study found that participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) showed increased functional connectivity and decreased modularity compared to those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy controls (HC). Additionally, UC participants exhibited changes in eigenvector centrality in specific brain networks, such as decreased centrality in the executive control network and increased centrality in the visual network. These brain alterations in UC were also associated with clinical parameters, including depression and anxiety measures.

Chitosan-based oral colon-specific delivery systems for polyphenols: recent advances and emerging trends

Sunni Chen et al.

Summary: Oral colon-targeted delivery systems (OCDSs), which offer enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects, have gained significant attention in the treatment of colon and non-colon diseases. Chitosan, a biopolymer with great biocompatibility and sensitivity to colonic flora, serves as an ideal biomaterial for OCDS construction. This review provides a detailed overview of the preparation of chitosan-based delivery systems and summarizes recent research findings on its application in nutritional and biomedical fields, shedding light on the future development of OCDSs.
