Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation compared with placebo in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea (IBS-D) and Mental Health Comorbidity in Young Adults.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the differences in microbiota, height and weight between infants born by cesarean section to obese mothers and randomized to receive fecal microbiota transplant after birth. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Could fecal transplant be used improve gut microbiota and prevent overweight or obesity. - Is the source of colonization a modifiable factor and can it be changed by using an early fecal microbiota transplant.
The emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) has become one of the major threats to the healthcare system in Hong Kong in recent years. The situation is particularly worrisome for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Taking Queen Mary Hospital as an example, the number of CRE cases has surged from 24 in year 2014 to 625 in year 2021. The case burden in Hong Kong is therefore substantial when all 43 public hospitals and institutions in Hong Kong are considered. With the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and active case screening, the number of CRE cases is expected to further increase in an exponential manner. Given that colonization with MDROs is due to gut dysbiosis from antibiotic use, a normal intestinal microbiota is apparently crucial in protecting hosts from colonization with MDROs including CRE. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which involves the infusion of stool from a healthy donor to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of a recipient, has gained popularity in recent years to restore colonic microbial diversity in various diseases associated with gut dysbiosis, e.g. Clostridium difficile (CD) infection, ulcerative colitis and even metabolic diseases. The investigators aim to conduct a double-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the benefit of FMT via lower GI delivery (enema) on CRE clearance.
This clinical trial will investigate the effects of capsules containing stool from healthy donors, called fecal microbial transplant (FMT), in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
The etiology of bowel obstruction is usually diagnosed by imaging techniques such as MSCTE,MRE, et al, which have some disadvantages. For example, in order to obtain better image quality, MSCTE（Multi-slices spiral computed tomography enterography） and MRE（ Magnetic resonance enterography）require patients to take a large amount of intestinal contrast solution orally, while for patients with intestinal obstruction, which may further aggravate the disease. Our study team had confirmed the mid-gut TET could serve as the delivery way of contrast solution for MRE bowel preparation with better accuracy of lesion detection and lower reduction of pain in CD（Crohn's Disease） patients. In this study, contrast solution will be delivered by colonic TET placed by lower GI-endoscopy, then we will evaluate the methodology and clinical value of this kind retrograde imaging technique in patients with intestinal obstructive diseases.
The aim of our study is to investigate the efficacy and mechanism in fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. About 20 Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients will be recruited into our trial for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) treatment,the safety and efficacy of FMT will be observed.
