Filter by:The primary objective of this case-control study aims to explore the role of bacterium Ruminococcus gnavus (R. gnavus) with intestinal biopsy and faecal sampling in the initiation and the development of spondyloarthritis (SPA) in comparison with health control subjets (patients without chronic disease but have indication to digestive endoscopy).
Periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease have been associated by meta-epidemiologic evidence, although their mechanistic connection needs to be further explored. Oral-gut axis is implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory conditions, but to date no studies have evaluated the impact of periodontal treatment on gut ecology. Thus, the present randomised clinical trial is aimed at investigating the effect of intensive or conventional periodontal therapy on the gut microbiome and parameters of systemic inflammation of patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease.
Significant changes in gut microbiota was noted after the high-volume bowel preparation with PEG before colonoscopy. The dynamic changes were found to be short-term. However, the perturbation pattern of gut microbiota found after bowel preparation may link to metabolic syndrome and obesity. No study had investigated the supplementation of probiotic in this dynamic situation before. Here we proposed this study to fulfill the knowledge gap and also inquiry on the potential therapeutic strategy.1.To test the hypothesis of probiotic supplementation after bowel preparation alters the composition of gut microbiota in a short-term and long-term manner.2.To test the hypothesis of GI tract associated symptoms affected by probiotic supplementation after bowel preparation. 3. To test the hypothesis of clinical events, especially parameters of metabolic syndrome affected by probiotic supplementation after bowel preparation.

The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem with a wide range of functions, and it is thought that it can influence multiple processes in the human body. In turn, the composition and activity of the gut microbiome is affected by many factors as well. Antibiotics can be very effective in treating bacterial infections, but they are also associated with detrimental health effects. Previous studies have already shown that antibiotics disturb the human gut microbiome composition by destroying commensal bacteria. As it is well known that the microbiome influences host metabolism, perturbation of the healthy microbiome (dysbiosis) is thought to be disease causing. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are beneficial for the gut microbiome. These so-called indigestible fibers are naturally present in our foods, but cannot be metabolised by the human body. Many bacteria in the human gut are able to ferment these fibers and they subsequently produce beneficial products for the rest of the body. Besides this, fiber intake stimulates growth of commensal bacteria in the human gut. Although it has become increasingly clear that prebiotics have a beneficial effect on the gut microbiome and general health, it is still unclear to which extent the beneficial effects of prebiotics supplementation occur after the gut microbiome is disturbed by antibiotics. We hypothesize that prebiotic supplementation after antibiotics use will improve restoration of the gut microbiome to a healthy state compared to placebo.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the major cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer in adults. Bismuth-based quadruple therapy is recommended by a recent review to be the first-line treatment for H. pylori eradication, replacing clarithromycin-based triple therapy. It is because the eradication rates of triple therapy in adults have declined due to increasing clarithromycin resistance. The best regimen for H. pylori eradication should be the one which succeeds on the first attempt. However, the effectiveness and the optimal duration of bismuth-based quadruple therapy for first-line H. pylori eradication in adults are unknown. Moreover, the impacts on gut microbiota after H. pylori eradication should be concerned; for example, bismuth-based quadruple therapy decreases F. prausnitzii richness. The transient perturbation of the gut microbiota after H. pylori eradication were restored at 8 weeks and one year in subjects receiving clarithromycin-based triple therapy but not fully recovered in those receiving bismuth-based quadruple therapy. Therefore, the important issues are that the short-term and long-term gut dysbiosis and the recovery of gut F. prausnitzii depletion in H. pylori-infected adult patients after bismuth-based quadruple therapy. It is also uncertain the role of irreversible gut dysbiosis even though H. pylori is eradicated in gastric persist inflammation and progress to cancer, and whether probiotics could be helpful in recovering gut dysbiosis. The therapeutic strategy to eradicate H. pylori infection is based on antibiotics; however, this strategy not only increases drug resistant rates of the pathogen but also shapes the gut microbiota. The investigators hypothesize that bismuth-based quadruple therapy could be an optimal regimen for first-line H. pylori eradication in the era of increasing clarithromycin resistance; moreover, gut dysbiosis could be reversed after bismuth-based quadruple therapy. Furthermore, the efficacy of the10-day course is not inferior to that of the 14-day course in H. pylori eradication. The investigators also hypothesize that probiotics could restore gastric or gut dysbiosis, especially gut F. prausnitzii depletion.
In the diagnosis and treatment of patients with sepsis, through routine stool testing and dynamic testing of coagulation function, we found that patients often have stools that are not formed, the proportion of main fecal bacteria is imbalanced, the level of blood bacterial toxins rises, and the abnormal coagulation status indicate the gut microbiome dysbiosis may play an important regulatory role in abnormal blood coagulation in patients with sepsis. Therefore, we propose that the gut microbiome dysbiosis is involved in sepsis-induced coagulopathy. This project intends to prospectively observe the changes in gut microbiome dysbiosis and blood coagulation function in patients with sepsis before and after treatment, and explore whether the changes in gut microbiome dysbiosis promote the development of sepsis through coagulation disorders, provide new research perspectives for diagnosis and treatment for sepsis.
This is a study of the influence of skincare products containing chemicals such as parabens and phthalates on the skin microbiome.
The performance of the microbiota is observed in all clinical and pathological stages of carcinogenesis, since its development, diagnosis and treatment, including prognosis and survival. However, it was found that there is a scarcity of studies on biliary microbiota and its relationship with hepatobiliopancreatic diseases. Therefore, further investigation is necessary, since reaching the biliary microbiota may suggest ways for studies of biomarkers, diagnoses, tests and therapies in hepatobiliopancreatic diseases. For this, bile samples will be collected in cases and controls patients to characterize the microbiota and its variations according to the disease.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterised by an impairment of social interactions and communication, associated with repetitive behaviour and restrictive interests. Clinical phenotypes of this neurodevelopmental disorder are heterogeneous and surprisingly up to 70% of ASD patients have gastro-intestinal (GI) disorders, associated with ASD severity and influence by feeding disorders. Gut-brain axis seems to play a key role in neurodevelopment and ASD pathophysiology. Indeed an intestinal dysbiosis is observed in ASD, as well as intestinal inflammation and permeability. Aspecific inflammatory pattern suggests neuroinflammation processes in ASD. Neuroinflammation is involved in blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity and there are some arguments for a putative BBBimpairment in ASD. Nevertheless, no study has explored all together these parameters in ASD patients. Here we hypothesise that intestinal dysbiosis in ASD could lead to a BBB impairment through neuroinflammation processes. Furthermore, this association between intestinal dysbiosis and BBB impairment could be influenced by a lot of clinical characteristics, such as ASD severity or GI disorders presence. The principal aim of our study is to determine if the gut microbiota composition is associated with the BBB integrity in ASD. The secondary objectives are i) too identify in children with ASD some physiopathological pathways involved in this association, with a focus on associations betweenintestinal dysbiosis, intestinal permeability, intestinal permeability, the Th1/Th2 immune response, neuroinflammation and the BBB integrity; ii) to evaluate the influence of these associations on several clinical features of ASD such as ASD severity or GI disorders intensity; iii) to evaluate the influence of nutritional status on biological and clinical parameters. This study will assess a lot of clinical and biological parameters together, some of them were never explored in ASD children. It will allow to better understand ASD pathophysiology, to highlight new therapeutic pathway, and to promote personalised medicine.
