概括
儿童的肠道菌群或真菌群体表现出与亚托皮炎 (AD) 和超重相关的明显模式. 像Saccharomyces这样的特定真菌可能在这些条件的发展中发挥作用.
科学领域:
- 微生物学 微生物学
- 儿科健康 儿科健康
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
背景情况:
- 肠道细菌变化与成人非传染性疾病有关,但肠道菌群的作用,特别是在儿童中,仍未得到充分研究.
- 很少有研究探讨了小儿群体的肠道菌群和非传染性疾病之间的关联.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究婴儿和儿童的肠道菌群组成.
- 确定肠道真菌生物组模式与儿童亚托皮炎 (AD) 和超重的发展之间的关系.
主要方法:

Anatomy of the Intestines

Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...
