Childhood obesity is a global public health problem that seriously affects the normal growth and development of children. In recent years, a large number of studies have pointed out that the intestinal microbiome is closely related to childhood obesity, and the treatment strategies targeting the intestinal microbiome have a certain improvement effect on childhood obesity. This article elaborates on the establishment and development of intestinal microbiome, intestinal microbiome characteristics, the mechanisms of intestinal microbiome involvement in the occurrence and development of childhood obesity, and potential intervention strategies, so as to provide more ideas for basic and clinical research on childhood obesity.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease in which pancreatic β cells are destroyed, resulting in an absolute lack of insulin. Intestinal microbiota and its metabolites can promote the progression of T1DM by destroying pancreatic β cells, increasing insulin resistance, increasing intestinal permeability, interfering with immune response. Therefore, fecal microbiota transplantation is expected to become a new method for preventing and treating T1DM in the future. This article mainly explores possible pathways for the application of fecal microbiota transplantation in T1DM, including protection of pancreatic β cells, improving insulin resistance, reducing intestinal permeability, and regulating immune responses.
Lung cancer is one of the most lethal cancer, and the overall survival rate of lung cancer patients is very low. With the increasing research on lung cancer, the critical role of intestinal flora in lung cancer treatment has been gradually discovered. Among the various therapeutic approaches targeting the intestinal flora, Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is considered as a potential strategy to treat lung cancer by interfering with the homeostasis of the intestinal flora. FMT can improve the efficacy of lung cancer treatment and attenuate the side effects associated with immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy by remodeling the microbial composition, modulating the metabolites, and activating immune responses. The aim of this paper is to discuss the current status and potential mechanisms of FMT in lung cancer treatment, and to provide a new strategy for regulating the intestinal flora to enhance the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.
