Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study focuses on abnormalities in the gut microbiota (intestinal flora) as a visible indicator of changes in intestinal function associated with systemic inflammation. We hypothesized that intestinal dysfunction caused by systemic inflammation following stroke promotes abnormalities in the gut microbiota, leading to the development of malnutrition and, subsequently, sarcopenia. By verifying this hypothesis and elucidating the impact of temporal changes in the gut microbiota on malnutrition and sarcopenia, we aim to develop treatment strategies to prevent the complication of sarcopenia following stroke. This forms the basis of our research plan.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

In previous studies, we identified malnutrition as the most influential risk factor for sarcopenia during the early stages of stroke onset. This is attributed to several factors: stroke-induced brain cell death often triggers systemic inflammation; in cases where patients experience consciousness disorders or dysphagia secondary to stroke, fasting periods immediately after onset may lead to apoptosis in the intestinal mucosa, resulting in mucosal atrophy; and the predominance of sympathetic nervous system activity suppresses intestinal motility, making digestive and absorption disorders such as diarrhea and constipation more likely. These factors collectively predispose patients to malnutrition.
