Project description:The human intestine is colonized with a complex microbial community and forms a super organism with the human body. Intestinal microorganisms include more than 1,000 kinds of bacterias, and their flora is very complex and functions are very diverse. The intestinal flora affects the body’s nutrition, immunity and metabolism through interaction with the human body and the external environment, and is closely related to multiple systems. When the flora structure and function are changed, it will lead to the occurrence of various diseases or increase the risk of disease. In recent years, the role of intestinal microbes in tumorigenesis and development, as well as the role of diagnosis and treatment have been paid more and more attention. Abnormal intestinal flora can not only promote tumorigenesis, but also affect radiochemotherapy and immunotherapy effects. It is worth noting that the huge impact of the intestinal flora on immunotherapy suggests that immune checkpoint inhibitors can maximize the efficacy by protecting the balance and diversity of the intestinal microecology. Therefore, in this study, quantitative analysis of the diversity and abundance of intestinal, urinary tract flora, and urine components before and after adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric and bowel cancer was performed. The link between treatment efficacy and prognosis.
Project description:Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) has been implicated in symptoms associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), though mechanisms remain poorly defined and treatment involves non-specific antibiotics. Here we show that SIBO based on duodenal aspirate. culture reflects an overgrowth of anaerobes, does not correspond with patient symptoms, and may be a result of dietary preferences. Small intestinal microbial composition, on the other hand, is significantly altered in symptomatic patients and does not correspond with aspirate culture results. In a pilot interventional study we found that switching from a high fiber diet to a low fiber, high simple sugar diet triggered FGID-related symptoms and decreased small-intestinal microbial diversity and small-intestinal permeability. Our findings demonstrate that characterizing small intestinal microbiomes in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms may allow a more targeted antibacterial or a diet-based approach to treatment.
