Effect of Gut Microbiota & Fecal Inflammatory Marker on Childhood

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Childhood gastroenteritis establishes gastrointestinal disease and increase the economic burden, and the pediatric population is especially vulnerable to these gastrointestinal infections. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of intestinal microbiota and their relationship with childhood gastroenteritis.

Clinical Trial Description

Childhood gastroenteritis establishes gastrointestinal disease and increase the economic burden, and the pediatric population is especially vulnerable to these gastrointestinal infections. According to a World Health Organization report in 2003, the median incidence of diarrhea for all children age under 5 years was 3.2 episodes per child-year, and this number has not changed significantly since 1980s. In Taiwan, the enteric pathogens associated mortality is low, but the social burden and economic costs are substantial because of the high incidence.

Intestinal microflora are able to use the substances consumed in the diet: bacteria can transform complex polysaccharides and monosaccharides in short-chain fatty acids. Short-chain fatty acids are a source of energy for colonocytes and directly affect the storage of lipids and the absorption and metabolism of food, creating the so-called 'second meal effect'.

Qualitative and quantitative alterations of commensal flora may result in various gastrointestinal and extraintestinal diseases. One of the first interactions these bacteria have when interacting with the intestinal epithelial cells lining the GI tact.

The first aim of this study is to evaluate the role of intestinal microbiota and their relationship with childhood gastroenteritis. The second aim of this study is determining the inflammatory markers (such as fecal TNF-α, interleukin -6, calprotectin, lactoferrin) on the host of childhood gastroenteritis. The investigators try to seek to gain an advanced understanding effect of intestinal microbiota and fecal inflammatory marker in the childhood gastroenteritis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
