Academic Background Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by recurrent inflammation and ulceration of the colonic mucosa. Current treatments for UC primarily rely on immunosuppressive drugs, such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologics. However, the immunosuppressive properties of these drugs incr...
Infantile Hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign vascular tumor in children, with an incidence rate of approximately 4%-10%. Although most IH cases resolve spontaneously, some cases may lead to permanent pigmentation, fibrous tissue accumulation, and scarring, affecting the appearance and quality of life of children. Additionally, certain IH cas...
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies globally, with its prognosis closely related to immune responses within the tumor microenvironment. In recent years, Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS), as an essential component of the tumor microenvironment, have been associated with favorable patient outcomes. TLS are aggregates o...
Academic Background Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease often accompanied by various extraintestinal complications, among which pulmonary infections are particularly severe. Although previous studies have indicated interactions between the intestinal and pulmonary immune systems, the specific mechanisms involving neutrop...
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial lining of the nasopharynx, characterized by a distinct geographical distribution, particularly with high incidence rates in Southeast Asia and Southern China. Despite significant progress in NPC treatment in recent years, the prognosis for patients remains poor, esp...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily including Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD). In recent years, the incidence of IBD has been on the rise globally, placing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Although it is widely accepted that IBD is associ...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily includes Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD). The incidence of IBD has been increasing globally, imposing significant health and economic burdens on patients and society. Currently, the diagnosis of IBD relies mainly on endoscopy, but this method is exp...
In recent years, the significant role of the human gut microbiota (HGM) in the metabolism of drugs and nutrients has gradually been recognized. The gut microbiota not only affects the bioavailability of orally administered drugs but also participates in the biotransformation of drugs and bioactive molecules through its metabolic enzymes, thereby in...
Iodine (I) is a trace element of significant importance to human health and the environment. It is a major component of human thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), directly influencing thyroid function. However, approximately 1.9 billion people worldwide are affected by Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD), with symptoms i...
Flatulence is a common occurrence in daily life, often resulting from the fermentation of undigested food components by the gut microbiota. While flatulence is generally harmless, it can lead to discomfort, bloating, and even chronic conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Certain foods, particularly those rich in dietary fiber like bean...
