A study on the relationship between intestinal microflora and clinicopathological features and long-term renal survival in patients with lupus nephritis by HUANG Pei-qiong, SONG Qiao-qiao, SHU Quan

“…Objective To study the relationship between intestinal microflora and clinicopathological features and long-term renal survival in patients with lupus nephritis（LN）.Methods The patients who were diagnosed as LN in our hospital from August 2017 to August 2018 were selected as the LN group,and the patients who were diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus（SLE） in the same period and had normal renal function were selected as the SLE group,and the healthy persons who were examined as the control group.The contents of intestinal microflora in the feces was measured,the influencing factors of end-stage renal disease（ESRD） in LN patients were analyzed by COX regression model,and the predictive value of intestinal microflora to ESRD in LN patients was analyzed by ROC curve.Results The content of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the feces in the LN group were significantly lower than those in the SLE group and control group,and the content of Escherichia coli was significantly higher than that in the SLE group and control group（P<0.05）.Compared with patients without arthritis,and with normal serum creatinine（SCr） and non-severe proteinuria and Ⅲ/Ⅲ+V stage in the LN group,the content of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the feces significantly decreased,the content of escherichia coli significantly increased in the patients with arthritis,increased SCr,severe proteinuria and Ⅳ/Ⅳ+V stage in the LN group（P<0.05）.The COX regression analysis showed that the course of LN,SCr,pathological type and content of bifidobacteria were the influencing factors of ESRD in LN patients（P<0.05）; ROC curve analysis showed that the content of bifidobacteria in the feces of LN patients had predictive value for ESRD.Conclusions The disturbance of intestinal flora in LN patients is related to clinicopathological features,and the decrease of bifidobacteria in intestinal flora is related to the occurrence of ESRD,and has predictive value for ESRD.…”

Patterns of intestinal flora imbalance in diabetic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes based upon high-throughput sequencing by Song Dan-dan, Mi Yan, Wang Cai-li

“…Objective To explore the patterns of intestinal flora imbalance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2 DM）and diabetic kidney disease（DKD）as compared to normal controls to examine the specific intestinal flora species of disease patients.Methods Taking inpatients as research objects, 20 T2 DM patients and 20 DKD counterparts were selected while 10 healthy family members of DKD patients and 10 healthy physical examination subjects as normal controls（control）.Their stool samples were collected.Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology was employed for DNA sequencing at 16 SrDNA-V4 region of all bacteria in stool samples.And QIIME2 was utilized for process and analyze the original sequence.Results Compared with normal control group, DKD and T2 DM groups had significant differences in the composition of intestinal flora（P<0.05）.From phylum to mesh level, the bacteria with the most differential abundance among healthy subjects was Firmicutes.Staphylococcaceae families and Muribaculum genus had high numbers of intestinal flora in T2 DM patients.Corynebacteriales order, Eisenbergiella genu and Ralstonia genus showed the most difference in the enrichment of DKD patients.The abundance value of Muribaculum genusis was relatively accurate to distinguish T2 DM patients and normal controls（AUC=0.9048）.The abundance values of genera Eisenbergiella and Muribaculum could distinguish the samples of DKD and T2 DM subjects（AUC=0.9091）.Conclusions DKD and T2 DM patients have the same signal of changes in intestinal flora.However, there are also differences.Muribaculum genus can be used as a gut microbial marker for distinguishing T2 DM patients from normal controls.Genera Eisenbergiella and Muribaculum can be used as markers for distinguishing DKD and T2 DM patients.…”
