- 微生物组研究 微生物组研究
- 遗传流行病学遗传流行病学
背景情况:
- 胰腺管腺癌 (PDAC) 由于其高死亡率和日益增加的发病率,对全球健康构成了重大挑战.
- 新出现的证据表明,肠道微生物组及其代谢物在PDAC发展中可能发挥作用.
- 观察性研究在确定因果关系方面是有限的,需要强大的分析方法.
研究的目的:

- 用遗传方法来补充现有的观察数据,以更好地了解肠道微生物群对胰腺癌发生的影响.
- 确定可能影响PDAC发展的特定细菌属和代谢物.
主要方法:
- 使用两样本的孟德尔随机化 (MR) 设计,利用大规模的基因组广泛关联研究 (GWAS) 数据.
- 选择的单核酸多态 (SNP) 与109种与微生物组相关的代谢物和119种肠道细菌的循环水平相关.
- 使用逆方差加权MR分析和使用PanScan和PanC4联盟 (8,769例,7,055对照) 的GWAS数据的灵敏度分析.
主要成果:

01:50What is Monogastric Digestion?
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.
01:30Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test
Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...
