Advances in the appetite regulation of gut microbiome / 医学研究生学报

The pathogenic and therapeutic effect of gut microbiome is a hot topic in recent years .Many researchers gradually focused on the relationship between the eating disorder and the gut microbiome .The gradual in-depth studies show that gut microbiome can intervene in the host′s metabolic state by multiple approaches to regulate appetite and bring new inspiration for the treatment of dis -eases.In this article, we review all important findings in this field and discuss the mechanism how gut microbiome effects appetite regu -lation.

Research progress on effect of microRNAs in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease / 医学研究生学报

Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is an important contributor to disease pathogenesis.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, conserved, single-stranded non-coding small RNA with 18-25 nucleotides in length, which regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally.Several studies found that miRNAs could affect the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through multiple ways.This article reviews the roles of miRNAs in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by regulating lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammatory, intestinal mucosal barrier, cell apoptosis and so on.
