Objective To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in SD rat model of diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Methods Twenty-five male SD rats were randomly divided into control (C) (n=10) and diabetes (M) (n=15) groups. Rats in the group M received intravenous injection of streptozotocin (30 mg/kg) once per day for 5 consecutive days. Fecal samples were collected and examined for the V3 region of the 16S rDNA gene by Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing. The abundance and composition of gut microbiota were analyzed by cluster analysis. Results DNA sequence analysis was successfully performed. The Chao 1 index was lower in the group M than group C (P< 0. 05). The Shannon index was lower and the Simpson index was higher in the group M than group C (P<0. 05). At phylum level, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Tenericutes, TM7, and Actinobacteria was lower in the group M than group C (P< 0. 05). At genus level, 4 weeks after injection,the abundance of Lactobacillus was lower and that of Bacteroidetes was higher in the group M than group C ( P< 0. 05). 12 weeks after injection, the relative abundance of Lactobacillus,Bacteroides and Ruminococcus was higher and that of Bifidobacterium was lower in the group M than group C ( P< 0. 05). Conclusions This STZ-induced diabetic SD rat model has a low abundance and diversity of gut microbiota. Quantitative analysis of gut microbiota composition in this animal model provides a basic data for the study of relationship between diabetes mellitus and gut microbiota.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to analyze the current status of outcome indicators in randomized controlled trials (RCT) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), so as to provide references for constructing the core outcome set (COS) of TCM in the treatment of CAG. MethodChina National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for RCTs of TCM in the treatment of CAG in the last five years. The risk of bias of included studies was evaluated, and the selection status of outcome indicators was statistically analyzed. ResultA total of 150 RCTs were included, with a sample size of 44-398 cases. 164 outcome indicators were reported, with an application frequency of 1 229 times. The outcome indicators were classified into seven indicator domains according to functional attributes, followed by physical and chemical examination (69.41%), TCM syndrome (12.69%), symptoms and signs (11.15%), safety indicators (5.37%), quality of life (0.65%), long-term prognosis (0.65%), and economic evaluation (0.08%). According to the statistical analysis, there were problems in the selection of outcome indicators in RCTs of TCM for treating CAG, including various indicators, non-standard name reports, unclear primary and secondary indicators, random combination of subjective and objective indicators, neglected patient report outcome indicators, missing long-term prognosis and economic indicators, insufficient reporting of safety indicators, and inconsistent measurement tools and measurement time points. ConclusionIn the past five years, there have been many problems in the selection of outcome indicators in RCTs of TCM for treating CAG. It is necessary to actively promote the construction of the COS of TCM in the treatment of CAG and promote the high-quality development of clinical research of TCM.
