正畸治疗与口腔微生物群变化的相关性研究

随着口腔微生物群变化的研究不断深入，正畸治疗与口腔微生物群之间的关系逐渐显现。正畸治疗会对口腔微生物群甚至全身微生物群产生重要的影响。一般的正畸治疗主要是让患者佩戴牙齿矫正器，这会导致患者的口腔微生物群被破坏，从而引发一系列如龋齿、牙周炎、牙龈炎等口腔疾病，甚至会威胁到人体的其他器官，有研究表明口腔微生物群比例失衡会导致人体的肝脏等器官感染，从而诱发一系列人体疾病。所以，进行正畸治疗的患者要特别重视口腔健康，做好口腔清洁工作，防止口腔疾病的出现。

微生物在人类疾病中的作用不容忽视,这些微生物与人类共同进化,协同机体维持免疫和代谢功能。超过100万亿个共生微生物在人体各处定植,包括口腔、皮肤和胃肠道。口腔是人体微生物种类最丰富的地方之一,仅次于胃肠道。环境和功能上的差异使得口腔和肠道的常驻微生物群的组成基本不同,并在两个黏膜部位形成独特的微生态系统。新的证据表明,口腔和肠道微生物及其代谢产物为研究人类的反应机制打开了新的大门。更重要的是,它揭示了新的和潜在的治疗方法,包括粪菌移植、益生菌和益生元等,但是确切的作用机制仍不明确。作为一种有价值的治疗方法,值得我们进行更深入的研究。

Intestinal microbiota in human health and disease: the impact of probiotics

The complex communities of microorganisms that colonise the human gastrointestinal tract play an important role in human health. The development of culture-independent molecular techniques has provided new insights in the composition and diversity of the intestinal microbiota. Here, we summarise the present state of the art on the intestinal microbiota with specific attention for the application of high-throughput functional microbiomic approaches to determine the contribution of the intestinal microbiota to human health. Moreover, we review the association between dysbiosis of the microbiota and both intestinal and extra-intestinal diseases. Finally, we discuss the potential of probiotic microorganism to modulate the intestinal microbiota and thereby contribute to health and well-being. The effects of probiotic consumption on the intestinal microbiota are addressed, as well as the development of tailor-made probiotics designed for specific aberrations that are associated with microbial dysbiosis.     

The gut microbiota in the metagenomics era: sometimes a friend, sometimes a foe

The normal intestinal microflora (microbiota) represents a complex, dynamic, and diverse collection of microorganisms, which usually inhabit the gastrointestinal tract. Normally, between this flora and the human host a mutually beneficial long-term symbiotic relationship is established, where the host contributes essential nutrients necessary for the survival of the microbiota and the latter fulfils multiple roles in host nutrition and development. Several achievements have recently converged to renew interest in studying the normal gut microbiota: the development of molecular methods of studying the microbial communities, the improved understanding of host-microbe interactions in health and disease, and the potential for therapeutic manipulation of the microbiota. We present recent data concerning the molecular technologies of studying the microbiota and new findings regarding the composition of the normal flora. We underline the beneficial activities of the gut flora on the human host. We emphasize the recent findings in the alterations of the microbiota in various medical conditions (celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, colorectal cancer, allergic disorders, and especially inflammatory bowel diseases). The results of these new studies suggest that changes of the microbiota could be linked to the etiopathogenesis of these diseases. These outstanding findings could be used for further diagnostic tools and/or therapy.

Novel antibody assessment method for microbial compositional alteration in the oral cavity

Recently, it has been demonstrated that dysbiosis, an alteration in commensal microflora composition, is intimately involved in the onset of a variety of diseases. It is becoming increasingly evident that the composition of commensal microflora in the oral cavity is closely connected to oral diseases, such as periodontal disease, and systemic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease. Next-generation sequencing techniques are used as a method to examine changes in bacterial flora, but additional analytical methods to assess bacterial flora are needed to understand bacterial activity in more detail. In addition, the oral environment is unique because of the role of secretory antibodies contained in saliva in the formation of bacterial flora. The present study aimed to develop a new method for evaluating the compositional change of microbiota using flow cytometry (FCM) with specific antibodies against the bacterial surface antigen, as well as salivary antibodies. Using specific antibodies against Streptococcus mutans, a causative agent of dental caries, and human IgA, bacterial samples from human saliva were analyzed via FCM. The results showed that different profiles could be obtained depending on the oral hygiene status of the subjects. These results suggest that changes in the amount and type of antibodies that bind to oral bacteria may be an indicator for evaluating abnormalities in the oral flora. Therefore, the protocol established in this report could be applied as an evaluation method for alterations in the oral microbiota.     

Intestinal microbiota and the immune system in metabolic diseases

The intestinal microbiota is comprised of millions of microorganisms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract and consistently interact with the host. Host factors such as diet and disease status affect the composition of the microbiota, while the microbiota itself produces metabolites that can further manipulate host physiology. Dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota has been characterized in patients with certain metabolic diseases, some of which involve damage to the host intestinal epithelial barrier and alterations in the immune system. In this review, we will discuss the consequences of dietdependent bacterial dysbiosis in the gastrointestinal tract, and how the associated interaction with epithelial and immune cells impacts metabolic diseases.     

Iron in infectious diseases friend or foe?: The role of gut microbiota

Iron is a trace element involved in metabolic functions for all organisms, from microorganisms to mammalians. Iron deficiency is a prevalent health problem that affects billions of people worldwide, and iron overload could have some hazardous effect. The complex microbial community in the human body, also called microbiota, influences the host immune defence against infections. An imbalance in gut microbiota, dysbiosis, changes the host's susceptibility to infections by regulating the immune system. In recent years, the number of studies on the relationship between infectious diseases and microbiota has increased. Gut microbiota is affected by different parameters, including mode of delivery, hygiene habits, diet, drugs, and plasma iron levels during the lifetime. Gut microbiota may influence iron levels in the body, and iron overload and deficiency can also affect gut microbiota composition. Novel researches on microbiota shed light on the fact that the bidirectional interactions between gut microbiota and iron play a role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, especially infections. A better understanding of these interactions may help us to comprehend the pathogenesis of many infectious and metabolic diseases affecting people worldwide and following the development of more effective preventive and/or therapeutic strategies. In this review, we aimed to present the iron-mediated host-gut microbiota interactions, susceptibility to bacterial infections, and iron-targeted therapy approaches for infections.     

The human microbiota associated with overall health

Human body harbors diverse microbes, the main components include bacteria, eukaryotes and viruses. Emerging evidences show that the human microbiota is intrinsically linked with overall health. The development of next-generation sequencing provides an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the complex microbial communities that are associated with the human body. Many factors like host genetics and environmental factors have a major impact on the composition and dynamic changes of human microbiota. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the relationship between human health and human microbiota (skin, nasal, throat, oral, vaginal and gut microbiota), then to focus on the factors modulating the composition of the microbiota and the future challenges to manipulate the microbiota for personalized health.
