Associations of Fecal Bile Acid Profile and Intestinal Flora With Chronic Radiation Enteritis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

chronic radiation enteritis Non-surgically treated cervical cancer patients develop chronic radiation enteritis after radiation therapy. |
|
No chronic radiation enteritis after radiotherapy Patients with non-surgical cervical cancer do not develop chronic radiation enteritis after radiation therapy. |
|
Patients with cervical cancer Patients with cervical cancer did not undergo any treatment. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Correlation between fecal bile acid profile and chronic radiation enteritis [7 months]
Patients' fecal bile acid profiles were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and screened for the bile acids associated with chronic radiation enteritis.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Correlation between fecal bile acid profile and intestinal microbiota in different groups. [7 months]
Investigators explore the cross-talk between fecal bile acid and gut microbiota according to the results of 16s rRNA sequencing.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
. non-surgical cervical cancer patients aged 18 to 75 years who received radiotherapy;
