Objective To explore the relationship between the gut microbiome (GM) and psoriasis using a two-sample two-way Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Methods The forward analysis uses the gut microbiota as the exposure factor, and its genetic data are derived from the genome-wide association study dataset published by the MiBioGen consortium. Psoriasis was used as the outcome variable, and its genetic data were obtained from the UK Biobank. The reverse MR analysis, on the other hand, took psoriasis as the exposure and the specific gut microbiota taxonomic units identified in the forward analysis as the outcome variable. MR analysis was conducted using maximum likelihood, MR Egger regression, weighted median, inverse variance weighting (IVW), and weighted models to study the causal relationship between the gut microbiota and psoriasis. Then, sensitivity analyses including horizontal pleiotropy test, Cochran’s Q test, and leave-one-out analysis were used to evaluate the reliability of the results. Results A total of 51 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 5 fungi were included in the forward study. The forward IVW analysis results showed that, the class Mollicutes [odds ratio (OR)=1.003, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.001, 1.006), P=0.004], genus Lachnospiraceae FCS020 group [OR=1.003, 95%CI (1.000, 1.006), P=0.041], and phylum Tenericutes [OR=1.003, 95%CI (1.001, 1.006), P=0.004] were causally associated with an increased risk of psoriasis. The family Victivallaceae [OR=0.998, 95%CI (0.997, 1.000), P=0.005] and order Pasteurellales [OR=0.998, 95%CI (0.996, 1.000), P=0.047] were also linked to a decreased risk of psoriasis. The results of the sensitivity analysis were robust. There was no evidence of a reverse causal relationship from psoriasis to the identified bacterial taxa found in the results of reverse MR analysis results. Conclusions The abundance of three species, class Mollicutes, genus Lachnospiraceae and phylum Tenericutes, may increase the risk of psoriasis. The abundance of two species, family Victivallaceae and order Pasteurellales may reduce the risk of psoriasis. These results provide new directions for the prevention and treatment of psoriasis in the future, but further research is needed to explore how the aforementioned microbiome affects the progression of psoriasis.

We performed the diagnosis by upper gastrointestinal radiography, gastroscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography and CT scan. All the 25 patients underwent surgical resection, of which 6 with pancreaticoduodenectomy, 18 with local resection, 1 with tissue biopsy and stomach intestinal anastomosis. With 5 to 96 months followup after operation, 1, 3 and 5year survival rates were 95.4%, 85.5% and 67.3%. Conclusion: Preoperative diagnosis of most of GIST was dependent on CT scan, upper gastrointestinal radiography and gastroscopy. The choices of surgical procedures are mainly determined by the location and size of the tumors, local excision should choose the correct way to rebulid alimentary tract.
Objective To investigate the effect of mesenteric lymphatic duct liagtion and glutamine enteral nutrition on intestine and distant organs in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods Forty male SD rats undergoing gastrostomy were randomly assigned into 5 groups (n=8): sham operation group, normal enteral nutrition group, normal enteral nutrition+lymphatic duct ligation group, glutamine group and glutamine+lymphatic duct ligation group. Sham operation group only received laparotomy after 7 days of full diet, the other four groups were subjected to 60 min of intestinal ischemia after 7 days of enteral nutrition, and the two lymphatic duct ligation groups were plus mesenteric lymphatic duct ligation. The original nutrition continued 3 days after reperfusion. Intestinal permeability was detected on day 1 before reperfusion, day 1 and 3 after reperfusion. Intestinal morphology was observed, endotoxin, D-lactate and diamine oxidase levels in serum, and apoptotic index in lung tissue were detected on day 3 after reperfusion. Results The intestinal permeability in each group was significantly increased on day 1 after reperfusion (Plt;0.05), and which in normal enteral nutrition+lymphatic duct ligation group and glutamine+lymphatic duct ligation group were significantly decreased on day 3 after reperfusion (Plt;0.05). The mucosal thickness and villus height of ileum and mucosal thickness of jejunium in glutamine+lymphatic duct ligation group were significantly higher than those in other groups (Plt;0.05), and villus height of ileum in glutamine group was higher than that in normal enteral nutrition group (Plt;0.05); those morphology indexes in normal enteral nutrition+lymphatic duct ligation group were higher than those in normal enteral nutrition group, but there was no statistical signification (Pgt;0.05). Apoptosis index of lung tissue in lymphatic duct ligation groups was significant lower than that in no-ligation groups (Plt;0.05). Levels of endotoxin, D-lactate, and diamine oxidase in lymphatic duct ligation groups had downward trends compared with no-ligation groups, but there was no statistical signification (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury of rats can cause intestinal permeability increase, bacterial endotoxin translocation and systemic inflammatory response. Mesenteric lymphatic duct ligation and glutamine enteral nutrition intervention can weak lung tissue damage, increase thickness of intestinal mucosa, maintain intestinal barrier function, reduce endotoxin translocation and attenuate systemic inflammatory response. Enteral nutrition with glutamine was better than normal enteral nutrition.
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on intestinal flora in patients with colorectal cancer.MethodsBy convenient sampling method, 60 patients with colorectal cancer were selected from August 2018 to December 2019 in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and randomly divided into ERAS group and traditional treatment group (traditional group). Among them, the perioperative clinical management was carried out according to the ERAS management and traditional treatment process in the the ERAS group and in the traditional group, respectively. The fresh fecal samples were collected within 24 h after admission and the first natural defecation after operation. The bacterial 16 Sr DNA V3–V4 region was sequenced by Illumina MiSeq sequencer, and the results were analyzed by bioinformatics.ResultsA total of 60 patients with colorectal cancer were included, 30 cases in the traditional group and 27 cases in the ERAS group (3 people temporarily withdrew from the study). There were no significant differences in the basic informations between the two groups (P>0.05). ① Before or after operation, there were no significant differences in Shannon index and Simpson index between the two groups. The difference between preoperative and postoperative comparison in the same group was also not statistically significant (P>0.05). ② Beta diversity analysis showed that there was no significant difference in community composition between the traditional group and the ERAS group before operation, and there was a clear boundary between the traditional group and the ERAS group after operation. ③ At the phylum level, compared with the preoperative abundance, the postoperative abundance Firmicutes decreased by 26.5% and 5.5% in the traditional and ERAS group, respectively; Bacteroidetes increased by 21.6% and 4.7% in the traditional and ERAS group, respectively; Proteobacteria increased by 7.2% and 2.2% in the traditional and ERAS group, respectively. At the genus level, compared with the preoperative abundance, the postoperative abundance of Bacteroides in the traditional group increased by 17.6% and in the ERAS group decreased by 1.6%; Bifidobacterium decreased by 1.8% and 1.3% in the traditional group and in the ERAS group, respectively.ConclusionsERAS does not affect species diversity of intestinal flora. Although ERAS has some damage to structure of intestinal flora, it is weaker than traditional process, so it is more conducive to reconstruction and restoration of intestinal microecological environment.
Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is one of the most common and complex complications of diabetes. In recent years, studies have shown that gut microbiota can regulate inflammatory response, intestinal permeability, glucose metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation, synthesis, and energy consumption by regulating factors such as lipopolysaccharides, short chain fatty acids, bile acids, and branched chain amino acids, achieving the goal of treating DNP. This paper summarizes the relevant mechanisms of gut microbiota in the treatment of DNP, the relevant intervention measures of traditional Chinese and western medicine, in order to provide new ideas for clinical treatment of DNP.

Objective To analyze the variation of intestinal microflora in patients with colorectal cancer by SYBR GreenⅠreal-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and reveal the role and significance of intestinal microflora in the colorectal cancer-associated molecular pathogenesis. Methods A set of 16S rRNA gene group of species-specific primers for Bifidobacterium spp., Lactobacillus group, Escherichia coli, and ddl gene-targeted species-specific primers for Enterococcus faecalis and feces Enterococcus were designed. Patients with colorectal cancer (colorectal cancer group, n=30) and healthy volunteers (normal control group, n=30) were included and whose feces were collected to extract bacterial genome DNA. SYBR GreenⅠ real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to analyze the five mentioned bacterial amounts. Results Level of Bifidobacterium spp. (4.52±0.49) and Lactobacillus group (5.46±0.12) in colorectal cancer group were significantly lower than those （9.25±0.83 and 7.45±0.37） of normal control group (Plt;0.05), whereas levels of Escherichia coli (5.82±0.47), Enterococcus faecalis (10.6±0.30) and feces Enterococcus (5.74±0.16) in colorectal cancer group were significantly higher than those （4.68±0.32, 4.95±0.24, and 5.03±0.43） of normal control group (Plt;0.05). Conclusions The fecal microflora composition of patients with colorectal cancer is significantly decreased in Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus group, whereas increased in Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and feces Enterococcus. These data underline that the occurrence and progress of colorectal cancer may be related to intestinal microflora.
Objective To compare the clinical effects of early enteral and parenteral nutrition, and to study their effects on cytokine release, cellular immune function and protein metabolism in early postoperative patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods Thirty-six patients with gastrointestinal cancer were randomly divided into early postoperative enteral nutrition (EN) group (19 cases) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group (17 cases), and they were supported with EN or PN during postoperative period of 1-7 days, respectively. The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured by ELISA. The total lymphocyte count (TLC) and subgroups of lymphocyte (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 and NK cell) were determined with flow cytometer. The urea and creatinine of the 24 h excretory urine were examined at four different phases: preoperative (pre), 1st d, 3rd d and 5th d after operation (pod). The clinical recovery indicators and the complication incidence were also observed. Results All the patients followed the project of nutritional support and relevant examinations, and there was no severe complication and no patient died during the research. The IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10, the 24 h urea and creatinine increased, while the serum TNF-α and TLC (except 3, 5 pod of EN group) decreased. There was no marked change of the proportion of lymphocyte subgroups after operation and there was no significant difference of the changes of IL-1β, IL-10 and TNF-α between the two groups as well. The levels of IL-6 (3, 5 pod), the 24 h urea (3, 5 pod) and creatinine (3, 5 pod) were significantly lower in EN group than those in PN group （P＜0.05）, whereas TLC (3, 5 pod) were significantly higher than that in EN group （P＜0.05）. In addition, the postoperative infection incidence （10.5% vs 35.3%）, fever duaration, rehabilitation time and medical cost were significantly lower in EN group than those in PN group （P＜0.05）.Conclusion The early postoperative EN has an advantage over PN in the patients with gastrointestinal cancer, which could decrease the release of cytokine and suppress protein metabolism resulting from operational stress, and could reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and inflammatory reaction time. They could also improve the cellular immune function and decrease the rebilitation duration and medical cost.
Objective To evaluate the safety and effect of seromuscular layer anastomosis in small intestinal suture. Methods Forty patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases undergoing biliojejunostomy or cystojejunostomy were randomly divided into seromuscular layer anastomosis group (n=20) and two-layer anastomosis group (n=20) before operation， which received Roux-en-Y end-to-side jejunal seromuscular layer anastomosis and two-layer anastomosis, respectively. Intestinal anastomotic complications and other indexes such as anus venting time were recorded in each group. Results Neither group had intestinal anastomotic complications such as leakage, stricture, obstruction and hemorrhage. Time of venting to normal were (3.6±0.9) d and (3.6±0.8) d in seromuscular layer and two-layer anastomosis group respectively, there was no significant difference between them (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Seromuscular layer anastomosis is a safe and effective method of small intestinal anastomsis.
