Filter by:The study is a single-center, randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial conducted at ZHUMC's endoscopy unit. It aims to assess the short-term effects of probiotic administration on disease course, quality of life, and nutritional status among patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Patients with UC and CD will be recruited from the endoscopy unit's outpatients and divided into two groups: a control group and an intervention probiotic group. The intervention probiotic group will receive the probiotic intervention for 2 months. During the study period, two visits will be scheduled for all patients. At each visit, medical and nutrition surveys will be filled out, and body composition measurements will be conducted. These assessments will help evaluate the impact of probiotic administration on the participants' disease progression, their quality of life, and their nutritional status. Overall, the study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of probiotic supplementation in managing IBD and improving the well-being of patients with these conditions.
Tourette syndrome is a refractory type of tic disorder. Previous clinical studies have confirmed that Tuina has a good effect on TS, but the mechanism of action is still uncertain. Studies have found that the pathogenesis of TS may be related to immune factors, and patients will accompanied by the overflow of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) during the onset of the disease. Other studies have found that the serum levels of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgGM, IgGA, IgGE, complement C3 and complement C4 are closely related to the pathogenesis of TS, and the abnormal humoral immune response mediated by food intolerance has an important impact on the pathogenesis of mental illness in children. The immune system plays a very complex role in TS. Based on this, we hypothesized that there may be differences in serum humoral immune effector levels between children with TS and healthy children, whether these differences are related to the consumption of certain allergenic foods or not, and so does Tuina spinal balancing can improve the clinical symptoms of children with TS by changing the levels of inflammatory and immune factors in peripheral serum. This study studied the peripheral mechanism of humoral immune effector mediated by Tourette syndrome and the intervention effect of Tuina through comprehensive scale analysis and advanced laboratory technology, which will provide a scientific theoretical basis and a safe and effective method for the treatment of multiple tics, and will have broad application prospects.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the efficacy of the newly developed 5Ad diet against the widely researched low fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharide and polyols (FODMAP) diet in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms associated with functional bowel disorders/food intolerances. The primary aims of this RCT are to determine: - Whether the 5Ad diet is at least as effective as the low FODMAP diet in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms associated with FBDs/food intolerances. - Whether either the 5Ad diet or the low FODMAP diet are effective in reducing mental and physical fatigue. To achieve the above aims, an RCT will be conducted with the 5Ad diet in one arm vs the active phase of the low FODMAP diet in the other arm, in a cross-over design with a 7 days washout phase in between. Both dietary protocols will be followed by each participant for 7 days. Researchers will compare the results from the 2 dietary protocols in order to ascertain the superiority of one over the other in regards to 6 gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, bowel urgency, straining and incomplete defecation), stool form and frequency of defecation.
The study will compare the immune response in CeD patients to wheat and barley gluten at high doses (1 gram), and also investigate the reponses to low dose barley gluten and also hydrolyzed, malted barley. This will be done by four one-day challenges with intervals around four weeks.
Since the prevalence of adverse reactions to foodstuffs (ARFS) has been steadily increasing and has become an alarming health concern, the general objective of this study is to analyze the prevalence of ARFS in Spanish adults of different physical condition.
Previous studies have shown that stool transplantation (FMT) have positive effect in symptoms for some patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Studies have shown that it is possible by FMT to reverse the microbiome of the recipient's intestine in the direction of the microbiome of the donor. The effect on eating habits for engraftment of microbiome by FMT is unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether FMT relieves FODMAP diet extension without worsening intestinal symptoms in IBS patients.
The FARE Patient Registry will serve as a prospective, observational food allergy reporting system that stores detailed health and other basic information about patients' real-world experiences with food allergies, to encourage open sharing of de-identified data and participation in clinical trials. The FARE Patient Registry intends to make and support scientific discoveries by enabling the food allergy community to participate directly in research.
