Radiation therapy induced intestinal barrier damage and repair process - differences in salivary metabolites and monitoring of intestinal barrier function by Zhang Jingjing, Wang Kun, Qiao Yanyu, Zhang Mengjie, Chen Yunqing, Tian Yulong, Jiao Xuelong, Tan Xiaojie, Jiang Haitao, Hou Feng

“…This study was conducted to investigate the changes, repair patterns, and potential mechanisms in patients after radiotherapy.MethodsThis study detected inflammatory factors in postoperative intestinal mucosal tissue and serum, as well as metabolites in saliva samples, and collected hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained pathological images in CRC patients who had received and did not receive radiotherapy.ResultsThe results showed that after radiotherapy, there were significantly impaired intestinal mucosal tissue structure; obviously elevated inflammatory factors in intestinal mucosal tissue and blood; as well as upregulation/downregulation of metabolites in saliva samples.ConclusionIn conclusion, findings in this study may provide potential reference for predicting the recovery of intestinal mucosa and selecting the optimal timing for surgery after radiotherapy. …”
