Human Gut Microbiota

ABSTRACT Prebiotics confer benefits to human health, often by promoting the growth of gut bacteria that produce metabolites valuable to the human body, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). While prebiotic selection has strongly focused on maximizing the production of SCFAs, less attention has been paid to gases, a by-product of SCFA production that also has physiological effects on the human body. Here, we investigate how the content and volume of gas production by human gut microbiota are affected by the chemical composition of the prebiotic and the community composition of the microbiota. We first constructed a linear system model based on mass and electron balance and compared the theoretical product ranges of two prebiotics, inulin and pectin. Modeling shows that pectin is more restricted in product space, with less potential for H2 but more potential for CO2 production. An ex vivo experimental system showed pectin degradation produced significantly less H2 than inulin, but CO2 production fell outside the theoretical product range, suggesting fermentation of fecal debris. Microbial community composition also impacted results: methane production was dependent on the presence of Methanobacteria, while interindividual differences in H2 production during inulin degradation were driven by a Lachnospiraceae taxon. Overall, these results suggest that both the chemistry of the prebiotic and the composition of the microbiota are relevant to gas production. Metabolic processes that are relatively prevalent in the microbiome, such as H2 production, will depend more on substrate, while rare metabolisms such as methanogenesis depend more strongly on microbiome composition. IMPORTANCE Prebiotic fermentation in the gut often leads to the coproduction of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gases. While excess gas production can be a potential problem for those with functional gut disorders, gas production is rarely considered during prebiotic design. In this study, we combined the use of theoretical models and an ex vivo experimental platform to illustrate that both the chemical composition of the prebiotic and the community composition of the human gut microbiota can affect the volume and content of gas production during prebiotic fermentation. Specifically, more prevalent metabolic processes such as hydrogen production were strongly affected by the oxidation state of the probiotic, while rare metabolisms such as methane production were less affected by the chemical nature of the substrate and entirely dependent on the presence of Methanobacteria in the microbiota.

The article reviews the chemical composition of borehole and surface waters in three villages of one of the regions of Georgia - Kakheti, Gurjaani Municipality. The study was specifically focused on iodine content in waters. It turned out that certain amount of iodine really existed in borehole waters, which means that by everyday drinking of water, the human body gets maybe not the complete required amount of iodine, but at least some part of it. It was also discovered, that according to certain parameters, waters are clean, do not contain heavy metals and can be freely used for drinking and cooking. The chemical composition of the Alazani River was also examined according to all four seasons. This river is interesting because of being used for irrigation of vineyards and fruit gardens.

One of the most important components of the human diet is the berries and stone fruits. They are rich in sugars, organic acids and biologically active substances - antioxidants. Together, the presented indicators (chemical composition and antioxidant activity) are important for the stable operation of the human body and the technological process when processing plant materials. When analyzing the chemical composition of berries and large fruits from the collection of the Research Institute "Zhigulevskie Gardens", it was revealed that the grade of raw materials influences the determined indexes.The highest value of soluble solids is occupied by the samples of apricot (leading Krugly variety), Black currant (leading Orloviya variety), raspberry (Balzam is leading).The lowest value of soluble solids was observed in strawberry varieties Kama. Analyze berries and fruits differ in the content of organic acids slightly. The maximum content of sugars in apricot, and the minimum for black currant. In the studied fruits, the highest content of phenols was recorded in the black currant. The varieties of flavonoids are different: strawberry Festivalaya, black currant Perun, apricot Khabarovskiy and raspberry Balzam. Low results showed apricot (grade Krugly, Pogremok). The high antioxidant activity was shown by the raspberry varieties Lyubetovskaya and Balzam. The chemical composition and antioxidant activity of fruits and berries play an important role not only for the human body, but also for the technological process during their processing. For this reason, analysis of the feedstock is an important stage in the development and manufacture of food products with a directed antioxidant effect.

Intervertebral disc (IVD) is the largest avascular structure in the human body and nutrition supply into IVD is mainly through diffusion from the peripheral blood vessels. Poor nutrition supply to the disc is believed to be one of the causes for disc degeneration. While many studies have aimed at studying and analyzing the effect of mechanical loading on water content, chemical composition, and nutritional levels in IVD [1–3], no study has been reported to investigate the effect of mechanical compression on oxygen diffusion in the IVD tissue. The objective of this study was to determine oxygen diffusivity in annulus fibrosus (AF) samples under different levels of compression.

Stone Cutting

Stone cutting for construction work is carried out by disk diamond wheels the rotation speed of which, and, consequently, the cutting speed is 35-50 m/s. In view of the high intensity of the cutting process and intensive microchip formation, the process of stone cutting is accompanied by considerable dust formation, which can be both harmful and dangerous in the work. The greatest danger is represented by dust particles, which dimensions are 5 μm or less. These particles have the greatest pathogenic effect on the respiratory system of the human body. In addition, the settling time of these particles is measured in hours. Thus, even after the termination of work, the risk of dust exposure to the human body remains. Insignificant time of inhalation of these particles can lead a person to disability and death. Insurance payments in case of disability and compensation in case of death of an employee for these reasons all over the world amount to multibillion sums, which, even for this reason, makes the issue of combating this phenomenon very urgent. In this paper, the process of generation of hazardous and harmful production factors arising as a result of dust formation during the stone cutting, the regularity of dust distribution by fractions, quantitative indicators of the process for improving equipment, as well as individual and collective means of personnel protection are determined. The shape and dimensions of the cutting grains of the cutting discs are studied in the paper, depending on the grain material and the grain size of the cutting disc. Thecurvature radii of the cutting grains depend on the grain material and the grain size of the cutting disc. The actual number of grains participating in cutting and, consequently, in dust formation is shown. The dimensions of the dust particles depend on the graininess of the cutting discs and the processing regimes. Using the law of normal particle size distribution, the percentage of dust particles is determined depending on processing conditions. The rate of particle settling depends on their size and mass. The formation of a dust-air mixture and its probable concentration and chemical composition of dust depend on the chemical composition of the cutting materials. Regularities are obtained, which can give an opportunity to improve the individual and collective protection of workers from this harmful production factor.
