TO THE EDITOR—Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a highly effective therapy for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) [1].However, the methods of administration used most frequently— colonoscopy, nasoduodenal infusion, and enema—are inconvenient for patients and healthcare facilities. Thus, recent demonstrations that FMT can be administered via oral capsules and as a frozen pre...

Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective therapy for treating recurrent C. difficile infection. However, the FMT mechanism of action poorly understood, and implementation limited. A previous study from our lab identified a critical role CD4+ FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) in enabling engraftment subsequent resolution Here, we investigated cellular cytokine network regul...

An arsenic-chelating metallothionein (fMT) from the arsenic-tolerant marine alga Fucus vesiculosus was expressed in Escherichia coli, resulting in 30- and 26-fold-higher As(III) and As(V) binding, respectively. Coexpression of the As(III)-specific transporter GlpF with fMT further improved arsenic accumulation and offered high selectivity toward As. Resting E. coli cells coexpressing fMT and Gl...

Abstract—In this paper we investigate filtered multitone modulation (FMT) for broadband multiuser powerline communications. FMT generalizes the popular OFDM scheme through the deployment of sub-channel shaping filters. We address the implementation problem, and we derive a novel efficient digital implementation of both the synthesis filterbank and the analysis filterbank assuming to multiplex t...

Gut dysbiosis is a characteristic of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of IBD. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective strategy to restore intestinal microbial diversity and has been reported to have a potential therapeutic value in IBD. Our recent study reported a holistic integrative therapy called "step-up FMT strategy," which ...

Abstract Background To investigate the potential beneficial effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT ) on gastrointestinal symptoms, gut dysbiosis and immune status in discharged COVID-19 patients. Case presentation A total 11 patients were recruited April, 2020, about one month average after they from hospital. All subjects received FMT for 4 consecutive days by oral capsule administrat...
