Objective To analyze the influence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection on the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 306 patients with T2DM who were treated in the hospital from April 2021 to April 2024 were enrolled as the study subjects. According to whether colorectal adenomatous polyps occurred, the enrolled patients were divided into adenomatous polyp group and non-adenomatous polyp group. The risk factors of colorectal adenomatous polyps in T2DM patients were discussed by univariate and Logistic multivariate regression analyses. The predictive value of Hp on the occurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps was explored by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Among 306 T2DM patients, there were 142 cases of colorectal adenomatous polyps, with an incidence rate of 46.41%. After logistic analysis, it was found that Hp infection, concurrent gallbladder disease, fatty liver, alcohol drinking history and insulin use were independent influencing factors for colorectal adenomatous polyps (OR: 5.518, 95%CI: 2.806-10.850; OR: 2.782, 95%CI: 1.406-5.502; OR: 3.702, 95%CI: 1.684-8.141; OR: 2.125, 95%CI: 1.140-3.964; OR: 5.398, 95%CI: 2.528-11.525, P<0.05). ROR curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of Hp infection in predicting colorectal adenomatous polyps were 0.611, 38.73% and 83.54%. Conclusion The occurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps in patients with T2DM is affected by many factors among which Hp infection has obvious predictive value on its risk.

ObjectiveTo explore the improving effects and its synergistic mechanism of Olibanum before and after processing with vinegar on glycodesoxycholic acid(GDCA) intervention in mice with ulcerative colitis(UC) based on the perspective of intestinal flora. MethodC57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, GDCA group, Olibanum group(1.5 g·kg-1) and vinegar-processed Olibanum(1.5 g·kg-1) group, with 6 mice in each group. Mice in the normal group drank water freely, and mice in the other groups were given 2% dextran sulfate sodium(DSS) periodically to establish a UC mouse model. During the modeling, GDCA group, Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group were intervened by intraperitoneally injection of GDCA(0.05 g·kg-1). From the 13th day after modeling, Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group were given the corresponding doses of drugs by gavage, once a day, for 36 d. During this period, the body mass of mice was recorded and the disease activity index(DAI) was assessed. On day 48, faeces were collected for 16S rRNA and metagenomic sequencing to analyse changes in intestinal flora. On the 49th day, hematoxylin-eosion(HE) staining was used to observe the colon histological lesions, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to determine serum levels of tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-6, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between differential bacterial species and inflammatory factor levels. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed a significant decrease in body weight(P<0.01), a significant increase in DAI(P<0.05), and a significant increase in TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels(P<0.01), and there was partial infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon. Compared with the model group, mice in the GDCA group showed a significant decrease in body weight, a significant increase in DAI and levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6(P<0.01), and severe disruption of colonic crypt structure, extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells, and a significant decrease in goblet cells. Compared with the GDCA group, both the Olibanum and vinegar-processed Olibanum groups showed a significant recovery in body weight, a significant decrease in DAI and levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the modulating effect of vinegar-processed Olibanum was significantly better than that of Olibanum. Alpha diversity showed that Chao1 index of UC mice significantly increased(P<0.01) and Shannon index decreased significantly(P<0.05) in UC mice after GDCA intervention. Beta diversity showed that the microbial community structure of the 5 groups had significant changes, Olibanum and vinegar-processed Olibanum could modulate the changes in the structure of the intestinal flora in UC mice after GDCA intervention. Microbial sequencing results indicated that, compared with the normal group, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in the model group was significantly higher(P<0.05), and the relative abundance of 3 genera and 5 species of flora changed significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in the GDCA group was significantly higher(P<0.05), the relative abundance of 7 pathogenic bacterial genera and four species was significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the relative abundance of three beneficial bacterial genera and Bacteroides_intestinalis was significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01). Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group could modulate the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, the relative abundance of pathogenic bacteria and beneficial bacteria, and the vinegar-processed Olibanum group was significantly superior to Olibanum group in terms of modulating the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, the relative abundance of the three genera and five species of bacteria(P<0.01, P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the relative abundance of Bacteroides_intestinalis was negatively correlated with the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, the relative abundance of Prevotella_sp_CAG873, Bacteroides_sp_CAG927, Bacteroidales_bacterium_52_46 and Bacteroidales_bacterium was positively correlated with TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β levels. ConclusionGDCA can exacerbate UC colonic inflammation, and Olibanum and vinegar-processed Olibanum have an ameliorative effect on GDCA-mediated UC, with the vinegar-processed Olibanum showing a stronger ameliorative effect, the mechanism may be related to the regulation the abundance and structure of intestinal beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, and the reduction of inflammatory factor levels.
