Conditions
Inflammation
Intestinal Functional Disorder
Registration Number
NCT06437119
Lead Sponsor
Fudan University
Brief Summary

The study attempts to conduct randomized controlled trials to understand whether daily exposure to environmental pollutants can cause harm to human health, explore whether the intake of composite polyphenols can alleviate potential health hazards caused by environmental pollutants, and provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of health hazards caused by environmental pollutant exposure.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fecal microplastics (MPs) levels as assessed by Py-GC/MSup to 2 months

Py-GC/MS method for detecting microplastic (MPs) levels in feces of research subjects. The concentration of fecal microplastics will be reported in units of μ g/g dry weight (μ g/g dw)

Fecal metagenomic sequencing as sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq/HiSeq Xten platformup to 2 months

DNA was extracted from fecal samples using the FastPure Stool DNA Isolation Kit (Magnetic bead) (MJYH, Shanghai, China). The DNA fragments were amplified via bridge PCR and sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq/HiSeq Xten platform (Illumina, USA). Raw data were processed using Fastp and BWA software for quality control and removal of host DNA sequences. The abundance of genes in each sample was described using RPKM.

Blood Metabolomics as assessed by UPLC-TripleTOFAbout 2 months

The pretreated samples were analyzed using an Ultra-high Performance Liquid Chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TripleTOF) system (AB SCIEX). The samples were separated using a BEH C18 chromatography column (100 mm\*2.1 mm i.d., 1.8 µm) and detected via mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometry signal was acquired in positive and negative ion scanning modes, with a mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) range of 50-1000. Raw data were imported into the Progenesis QI software (Waters Corporation, Milford, USA) for processing, generating a data matrix containing retention time, m/z, and peak intensity. The MS and MS/MS spectra were matched with the HMDB (http://www.hmdb.ca/) and Metlin (https://metlin.scripps.edu/) databases to identify metabolites.

Inflammatory cytokines as assesed by Luminex technologyAbout 2 months

The levels of 10 inflammatory cytokines in blood plasma samples were detected using Luminex technology, including IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, TNF-α, and IFN-γ. Inflammatory cytokine indicators are described in pg/ml units.

Blood glucose indicators as assessed by the Hitachi 7180 fully automatic biochemical analyzerAbout 2 months

Using the Hitachi 7180 fully automatic biochemical analyzer to measure glucose (glycated serum protein, GSP; glucose, GLU) indicators. Blood glucose indicators are described in mmol/l units.

Blood lipid indicators as assessed by the Hitachi 7180 fully automatic biochemical analyzerabout 2 months

Using the Hitachi 7180 fully automatic biochemical analyzer to measure lipid (total cholesterol, CHO; triglycerides, TG; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL) indicators. Blood lipid indicators are described in mmol/l units.

Routine blood examination as assessed by the Dima DH36X fully automatic blood cell analyzerAbout 1 months

Using the Dima DH36X fully automatic blood cell analyzer for routine blood examination (three-part differential). We measured the white blood cell count (WBC), lymphocyte count (LYM), monocyte count (MXD), and neutrophil count (NEU) in the blood routine and reported them in units of 10 \* 9 cells/L
