Cancer treatment-associated gut microbial perturbation/dysbiosis has been implicated in the pathobiology of sleep disturbance; however, evidence is scarce. Eighteen newly diagnosed rectal cancer patients (ages 52-81 years; 10 males) completed a sleep disturbance questionnaire and provided stool samples for 16s RNA gene sequencing during chemo-radiotherapy. Descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon test and regression analyses were computed. Regression analyses showed the Shannon's diversity index to be a significant factor associated with sleep disturbance. This preliminary work suggests that the biological "gut-brain axis" mechanism may be associated with symptoms of sleep disturbance.
癌症治疗相关的肠道微生物扰动/失调与睡眠障碍的病理生理学有关;然而,证据有限。18 名新诊断的直肠癌患者(年龄 52-81 岁;男性 10 名)在化疗和放疗期间完成了睡眠障碍问卷,并提供了粪便样本进行 16s RNA 基因测序。计算了描述性统计、Wilcoxon 检验和回归分析。回归分析显示,香农多样性指数是与睡眠障碍相关的重要因素。这项初步工作表明,生物学的“肠-脑轴”机制可能与睡眠障碍的症状有关。
