Severe gut mucosal injury induces profound systemic inflammation and spleen-associated lymphoid organ response.

Clinical evidence indicates a connection between gut injuries, infections, inflammation, and an increased susceptibility to systemic inflammation. Nevertheless, the animal models designed to replicate this progression are inadequate, and the fundamental mechanisms are still largely unknown. This research explores the relationship between gut injuries and systemic inflammation using a Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS)-induced colonic mucosal injury mouse model. Continuous treatment of adult mice with 4% DSS drinking water yielded a remarkable mortality rate by day 7, alongside intensified gut injury and detectable peripheral inflammation. Moreover, RNAscope in situ hybridization with 16S rRNA probe noted bacterial penetration into deeper colon compartments of the mice following treatment with DSS for 7 days. Histological analysis revealed inflammation in the liver and lung tissues of DSS-treated mice. In addition, we found that DSS-treated mice exhibited elevation of Alanine transaminase (ALT) and Aspartate transaminase (AST) in peripheral blood and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in the liver. Notably, the DSS-treated mice displayed a dampened metabolic profile, reduced CD45 marker expression, and an increase in apoptosis within the lymphoid organ such as spleen. These findings suggest that high-dose DSS-induced gut injury gives rise to sepsis-like systemic inflammation characterized by multiple organ injury and profound splenocyte apoptosis and dysfunction of CD45+ cells in the spleen, indicating the role of the spleen in the pathogenesis of gut-derived systemic inflammation. Together, the severe colonic mucosal injury model facilitates research into gut damage and associated peripheral immune responses, providing a vital framework for investigating mechanisms related to clinically relevant, gut-derived systemic inflammation.

Eugenic fictions and radical resistances

AbstractThis paper considers the inspiration of Charles Darwin and J. S. Mill for writers and feminists at the end of the nineteenth century, tracing ways in which Darwin's anti‐essentialism and his commitment to monogenism—the idea of the unity of races—and Mill's challenge to innatism—the idea that biology is wholly determining—provided a vital framework for early objections to eugenics. This anti‐essentialism also helped to expose ways in which capitalism employed biologism, the attribution to nature of that which is social. The paper also explores the opposition to fascism which a socialist internationalism informed by monogenism was able to provide in the early twentieth century, as evidenced in the work of Sylvia Pankhurst and at the Battle of Cable Street. It concludes by considering, through the friendship of Hardy and Sassoon, ways in which poetry protesting the First World War denounced the biologistic thought and division that so often underpinned militarism.

Earth vitality: An integrated framework for tracking Earth sustainability

The Anthropocene era is characterized by the escalating impact of human activities on the environment, as well as the increasingly complex interactions among various components of the Earth system. These factors greatly affect the Earth’s evolutionary trajectory. Despite notable strides in sustainable development practices worldwide, it remains unclear to what extent we have achieved Earth sustainability. Consequently, there is a pressing need to enhance conceptual and methodological frameworks to measure sustainability progress accurately. To address this need, we developed an Earth Vitality Framework that aids in tracking the Earth sustainability progress by considering interactions between spheres, recognizing the equal relationship between humans and nature, and presenting a threshold scheme for all measures. We applied this framework at global and national scales to demonstrate its usefulness. Our findings reveal that the current Earth Vitality Index is 63.74, indicating that the Earth is in a “weak” vitality. Irrational social institutions, unsatisfactory life experiences and the poor state of the biosphere and hydrosphere have remarkably affected the Earth vitality. Additionally, inequality exists between high-income and low-income countries. Although most of the former exhibit poor human-nature interaction, all of them enjoy good human well-being, while the opposite is true for the latter. Finally, we summarize the challenges and possible options for enhancing the Earth vitality in terms of coping with spillover effects, tipping cascades, feedback, and heterogeneity.
