Filter by:This project will involve administering a multi-strain probiotic supplement to investigate the capacity to improve exercise performance and/or recovery. This will be done by assessing physiological measures (e.g. performance and muscle soreness), biochemical measures (e.g. oxidative stress and inflammation), and microbial diversity (i.e. associations with bacteria present in the gut). Participants will be well-trained, recreational exercisers and will visit the laboratory a total of eight times, including an 8-week probiotic vs placebo supplementation period.
Radiation proctitis is a common complication after radiation therapy for pelvic tumors. The investigators found that live bifidobacterium and lactobacillus tablets combined with compound glutamine enteric-coated capsules can significantly relieve the symptoms of radiation proctitis through preliminary clinical practice, but the mechanism is unknown. Through a prospective randomized controlled study, this study intends to investigate the incidence of grade 2 or higher acute radiation proctitis in patients of locally advanced rectal cancer after radiotherapy with the combined therapy. And through various scales, next-generation sequencing methods and other methods to evaluate the clinical symptoms, colonoscopy, imaging, and changes in the species and abundance of intestinal flora before and after treatment. To further explore the related pathways and mechanisms affecting radiation proctitis.
Endurance athletes will be invited to participate in the following study. Subjects will visit the laboratory on three occasions, each time following an overnight fast. Briefly, following an initial assessment and familiarisation, participants will be required to complete an endurance bout of cycling exercise in hot environmental conditions before and after 4 weeks of supplementing with a probiotic or placebo. During the exercise bouts, breath samples will be collected for measurements of whole-body metabolism, blood samples will be collected to assess serum metabolites and markers of gastrointestinal (GI) damage, and subjective measures of effort and symptoms of GI thermal distress will be collected. Before and after each exercise bout, participants will be required to provide a faecal sample for analysis of the microbiome and GI inflammation
The purpose of this project is to study the the efficacy and safety of probiotics implantation through infusion during colonoscopy in the treatment of functional constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. The study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled, cohort study. The invesitigators plan to enroll 80 patients with functional constipation and 80 patients with irritable bowel syndrome. The invesitigators will randomize the included study subjects. The experimental group receive basic treatment and a single infusion of probiotics through colonoscopy. The control group receive basic treatment and a single injection of normal saline through colonoscopy. The invesitigators will follow up the patients for 8-12 weeks. The primary endpoint is the efficacy of the single colonoscopic probiotics infusion in functional constipation and irritable bowel syndrome patients. The secondary endpoint is the safety of the single colonoscopic probiotics infusion in functional constipation and irritable bowel syndrome patients. Other exploratory objectives include the alterations in clinical indicators, fecal microbiota, and intestinal microbiota metabolites in feces and serum.
Probiotics, a component that is generally referred to as a living microorganism or a microorganism present in a host. Most studies have shown that probiotics can regulate immune function in the body. Many studies have attempted to understand whether the use of probiotics can prevent allergic diseases or not.
Based on alterations in the intestinal microbiota in children with ASD and the high comorbidity between ASD and ADHD, the aim of this project was to assess whether the administration of probiotics with strains related to the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and GABA had a positive effect on social behavior, attention, and behavior.
The present study is a double-blinded randomized clinical trial with a duration of 28 days.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Gut microbiome dysbiosis may be associated with the pathophysiology of ADHD. Investigators previously found the relative abundance of Sutterella stercoricanis were increased and Bifidobacterium bifidum were decreased in the ADHD group. Investigators hypothesize that ADHD patients receiving supplementary Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bf-688) is able to increase the proportion of Bf-688; inhibit the proportion of Sutterella; and improve ADHD symptoms.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be performed to assess the efficacy of a probiotic containing Lactobacillus reuteri in improving post-surgical wound healing after impacted tooth extractions. The Primary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of L. reuteri in improving post-extractive healing. The Secondary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of L. reuteri in association with an antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin) in reducing the incidence and severity of antibiotic-associated gastro-intestinal symptoms.
