The Gut Microbiota Predispose to the Pathophysiology of Acute Postradiotherapy Diarrhea
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Severe diarrhea may complicate pelvic radiotherapy and force interruption of treatment. As there is no current clinical or experimental information on the role of the gut microbiota in this pathogenesis, we conducted a pilot observational study on the fecal microbiota in patients receiving pelvic radiotherapy. METHODS: The study involved 10 patients who underwent 5 wk of radiotherapy for abdominal tumors and 5 controls. Four fecal samples were collected from each individual: before, during, at the end, and 2 wk after treatment. Following the amplification of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene from the samples, DNA fingerprinting and cloning-sequencing techniques were used to determine their microbial profile and composition, respectively. RESULTS: Six patients suffered acute postradiotherapy diarrhea and 4 did not. In patients without diarrhea, as well as in healthy volunteers, microbial diversity was stable over a period of 7 wk. However, patients exhibiting diarrhea showed a progressive modification in their microbial diversity. A radical drop in similarity index was observed at the end (P= 0.026) and still 2 wk after radiotherapy (P= 0.014). Interestingly, cluster analysis of the microbial profile in the first sample (S1) (collected before radiotherapy) displayed a dendogram where patients that presented diarrhea clustered separately from those that did not develop diarrhea after radiotherapy. Moreover, sequence analysis of dominant bacteria in the S1 sample confirmed differences between the diarrhea and nondiarrhea groups. DISCUSSION: In this set of patients, susceptibility or protection against diarrhea after radiotherapy could be linked to different initial microbial colonization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
