Filter by:To explore the fecal bile acid profile of patients with radiation enteritis, to clarify the types of bile acids that are closely related to the occurrence of radiation enteritis; to explore the interaction between fecal bile acids and intestinal flora in patients with radiation enteritis, and to lay the foundation for further elucidation of the pathogenesis of radiation enteritis.
This study is carried out in patients with IBD and healthy subjects requiring ileocolonoscopy as part of routine care (disease monitoring or polyp/colon cancer screening). It aims the generation and culturing of organoids from digestive biopsies recovered from healthy and/or pathological (inflammatory) ileal and/or colonic mucosa during an ileo-colonoscopy. These cultures will make it possible to validate the organoid production method used in the context of the research (primary objective). In a second phase (secondary objectives), the study will aim to setup a screening tool by irradiating the organoids (step one) and then evaluate in vitro the regenerative activity of treatments dedicated to improve inflammatory bowel diseases and acute radiation enteritis (step two).
This present study envisaged a single-center, prospective, open-label, placebo and randomized controlled phase II clinical study to assess the efficacy and Safety of Tetrahydrobiopterin in Treating Radiation Enteritis in Gynecological Cancer Patients.
Radiation enteritis is one of the most feared complications after abdominal or pelvic radiation therapy.The gut microbiota is considered to constitute a "microbial organ" which has pivotal roles in the intestinal diseases and body metabolism. Evidence from animal studies demonstrated the link between intestinal bacteria and radiation enteritis. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective microbiota transplantation (SMT) and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for radiation enteritis.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of perioperative glutamine supplemented total parenteral nutrition support on nutritional status, immunologic function and intestinal permeability of patients with chronic radiation intestinal injury. Methods: The 40 patients with CRII were randomized into two groups, the standard TPN group and glutamine-enriched TPN group. The patients were administered total parenteral nutrition for at least four weeks (two weeks pre-operation and two weeks post-operation). The nutritional status, immunologic function, plasma concentration of glutamine and intestinal permeability were measured at 1 day, 1 week and 2 weeks pre-operation, 3 day, 1 week and 2 weeks post-operation. Nutrition status was determined the plasma concentrations of hemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin, transferrin and triglyceride. Immunologic function were measured by the percentages of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, the ratio of CD4 +T cells to CD8+T cells ( CD4 +/CD8 +) was calculated， and serum IgA, IgM and IgG．The intestinal permeability was detected by the urinal ratio of lactulose and mannitol.
This research aims to give an overview of a number of aspects related to the quality of care for adult patients on home parenteral nutrition. Concretely this study follows up different aspects on different moments in the care of the patient pathways: - process indicators concerning indication, parenteral nutrition, training, team access roads and the succession of complications - Outcome indicators - the health-related quality of life - discrepancies in medication use - the role of the different health care providers
The study will consist of pair of double-blind placebo-controlled trials of dietary supplementation with 15g/day FructoOligoSaccharide (FOS) for 7.5 weeks in patients with prostate carcinoma or 5 weeks in patients with cervical or endometrial carcinoma who are to undergo pelvic radiotherapy with intent to cure.
RATIONALE: Octreotide may be effective in preventing or controlling diarrhea in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for anal or rectal cancer. It is not yet known whether octreotide is effective in treating diarrhea. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying octreotide in preventing or reducing diarrhea in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for anal or rectal cancer.
RATIONALE: Pentosan polysulfate may be effective in treating side effects of radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvis. It is not yet known whether pentosan polysulfate is more effective than no further therapy for treating gastrointestinal disturbance caused by previous radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of pentosan polysulfate in treating patients who have inflammation of the rectum, diarrhea, or blood in stools caused by previous radiation therapy to the abdomen and pelvis.
