Dysregulation of gut microbiome is linked to disease activity of rheumatic diseases
Abstract
Objective rheumatism refers to a large group of diseases with different etiology, mainly characterized by autoimmune disorder. Intestinal flora combines with the digestive organs of the human body to synthesize and secrete the key substances of growth. Several studies have reported abnormal intestinal flora in rheumatic diseases. The purposes of this research were to review the primary studies and figure out the relationship between intestinal flora and rheumatic disease activity. The article search was based on the database of PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Cochrane to collect English language studies that were published from 1985 to 2019. The articles concerning the intestinal flora and disease activities of rheumatic diseases were classified by disease types, and the relationship between disease activities and intestinal flora was summarized. Eight rheumatic diseases were included in the study. It was found that the changes of intestinal flora were significantly correlated with the activities of rheumatic diseases. There were significant differences in the classification of disease activity and the composition of intestinal flora. Interfering with the composition of intestinal flora can apparently modulate the development of dise...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
