Filter by:This randomised control clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of exercise training and diet on physical and functional fitness and immunological and metabolic changes in adults with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Investigators will randomise participants to either 12 weeks of supervised/semi-supervised exercise only, exercise + nutritional guidance, or no exercise.
In this study, the investigators will include PCOS patients and healthy women who meet the trial criteria from the clinical research centers of 3 hospitals, introduce the content of this study to participants, and invite participants to participate. Flow cytometry was used to detect the immune function of peripheral blood samples of PCOS patients, to clarify the immune function characteristics of PCOS patients, and to try to establish an evaluation method of the immune function of PCOS patients.
In this study, the investigators will include PCOS patients who meet the trial criteria, introduce participants to the content of this study, and invite participants to participate. The immune function of peripheral blood samples of PCOS patients was detected by flow cytometry. Participants were further treated with metformin for 6 months and followed up after the intervention. The objective of this study was to investigate immune markers related to the efficacy of metformin in PCOS patients and to predict the efficacy of metformin in PCOS patients using immune function.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the microbial community, host immunity and the presence or absence of concurrent rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease patients with anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis.
This human application test was planned to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of immunodefinition compared to the placebo when the GCWB1176 was consumed for those whose white blood cell level was normal or somewhat decreased.
Almost 3 billion people worldwide, including 89% people in Bangladesh, are exposed to harmful household air pollutants (HAP) emitted from combustion of biomass (wood, agricultural residue, cow dung, etc.) fuel use for cooking. While health risks associated with air-pollution have been reasonably well-studied in developed countries, there is little evidence on health benefits achievable by HAP reduction through clean fuel use, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Earlier the investigators showed that Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) for 24 months, reduced personal PM2.5 exposure by 58.17 percent which induced novel changes in immune and inflammatory responses in the participants; however cardiopulmonary markers remained relatively stable in post-intervention assessment. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the effects of mobile phone based (mHealth) Behavioural Change Communication (BCC) intervention on adoption and exclusive use of LPG. The investigators also aimed to observe whether long-term effects of HAP reduction can impact the subclinical measures of cardio-vascular and pulmonary dysfunction and regulate innate and inflammatory immune function among women and children in semi-rural settings in Bangladesh. The investigators will also investigate the influence of exposure to HAP on antibody response to vaccines (adaptive immunity). The BCC intervention will be provided by conducting a large household level randomized controlled trial by educational intervention using mHealth based technology. In addition, the investigators will continue following the cohort and will conduct rigorous and repeated personalized (24 hours) and area (over 5 days) assessments of PM2.5 and black carbon (BC) exposure to examine the long-term effects of HAP reduction on subclinical measures of cardio-pulmonary and immune dysfunction including effect of HAP exposure on antibody response to vaccine.
The present study will compare the effect of Manapol to DaltonMax on select measures of health. Currently, both ingredients are sold both as a stand-alone dietary supplement and as an active ingredient within various multi-nutrient products. Immune function will be assessed using blood samples to determine white blood cell counts and distributions, and cytokine levels with/without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Additionally, effects specific to antioxidant function and glucose regulation, glucose, insulin, lipid peroxidation, and advanced oxidation protein products will be observed. Antioxidant capacity will also be measured. as well as completion of weekly questionnaires regarding gut health, and microbiome analysis.
This study is designed to investigate the health impact of a vegan diet compared to a usual, omnivorous diet. The investigators plan to study these diets in twins, where one twin follows a vegan diet and the other twin follows an omnivorous diet, thus the investigators control for genetic differences that might impact the effect of the diet.
The purpose of the study is to learn how different dietary interventions affect microbiota diversity in pregnant women and the transmission of microbiota to their infants during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Gut microbiome manipulation to alter the gut-lung axis may potentially protect humans against respiratory infections. However, clinical trials of synbiotics, one of the microbiota-targeted intervention, in this regard is few. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of synbiotics on the incidence and severity of upper respiratory tract infection, gut microbiota composition and function, as well as biomarkers of immune function.
