The combination of probiotics with TCM demonstrates superior efficacy compared to 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), probiotics alone, or TCM alone in managing UC. This approach effectively controls clinical symptoms, reduces intestinal inflammation, and lowers recurrence rates with minimal adverse events. Utilizing a mixture of different probiotics alongside individually tailored TCM appears to be a promising clinical strategy for UC treatment.

Selenium, incorporated into selenoproteins, plays a pivotal role in the modulation of gastrointestinal inflammation by influencing macrophage function and driving a switch from a proinflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. This phenotypic plasticity, accompanied by changes in cytokines, chemokines, and bioactive metabolites, contributes to the resolution of inflammation in the gut and restoration of epithelial barrier integrity. The review highlights the importance of selenium-dependent regulation of arachidonic acid metabolism and emphasizes the role of macrophages in supporting resolution in IBD.

Experimental Study Cholesterol Pu-Erh Tea
Healthy mice were administered water or 0.25% Pu-erh tea over a period of seven weeks, and then subjected to a disruption of their light/dark cycle for forty days. The assessment of effects was based on changes in neurotransmitter secretion and gene oscillations, intestinal inflammation, and the balance of intestinal microbes and metabolites.
Results indicated that Pu-erh tea had beneficial impacts in regulating neurotransmitter secretion and clock gene oscillations, especially indole and 5-hydroxytryptamine pathways, a key process involving the gut-liver-brain axis. Moreover, the tea's metabolites improved release of brain hormones, thus enhancing hepatic glycolipid metabolism and lowering intestinal oxidative stress. Further observed beneficial effects included promotion of liver lipid metabolism and reduction of intestinal inflammation, via the enterohepatic circulation.

Experimental Study Colitis Digestive Health Gut Microbiota
The study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of two French natural mineral waters (NMWs) - NMW1 (rich in calcium, magnesium, sodium, carbon, and iron) and NMW2 (mainly bicarbonate) - on intestinal inflammation. Intestinal epithelial cells were stimulated with heat-inactivated Escherichia coli or hydrogen peroxide and then treated with NMWs. Additionally, moderate colitis was induced in Balbc/J mice using 1% dextran sulfate sodium. These mice were then given either NMW1, NMW2, or control water. The study assessed general symptoms, histological features of colitis, fecal lipocalin-2 levels, pro-inflammatory KC cytokine levels, and the global mucosa-associated microbiota.
Both NMW1 and NMW2 showed anti-inflammatory effects in treated intestinal cells. In the colitis-induced mice, NMW1 notably reduced inflammation, evidenced by lower disease activity scores, reduced fecal lipocalin-2, decreased release of pro-inflammatory KC cytokines, and smaller intestinal epithelial lesions. NMW1 also helped in maintaining the normal state of mucosa-associated microbiota. These findings suggest the potential of these NMWs in managing inflammatory bowel disease through modulating gut microbiota.
