Project description:To examine potential changes of the intestinal microbiota in mice caused by repeated mild stress, we profiled bacteria and fungi in the mouse feces by sequencing the 16s v3v4 region and the ITS1-2 region.
Project description:To further identify the fecal miRNAs generated in HE, we conducted an miRNA microarray analysis on feces collected from patients with HE and CHB. The microarray analysis of miRNA expression profiles revealed that the abundance of 10 miRNAs was significantly increased in feces from patients with HE, as compared with that from patients with CHB, whereas the abundance of 8 miRNAs was decreased.
