Advances in the study of intestinal flora for the treatment or prevention of spinal cord injury and complications / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Intestinal microorganisms are closely related to human health or disease status. Spinal cord injury is a serious traumatic disease of the nervous system. Recent studies have shown that intestinal flora can affect the progression of spinal cord injury. At the same time, intestinal flora is closely related to spinal cord injury complications such as anxiety, depression, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, constipation, neurocystitis and urinary system infection through intestinal-brain axis, intestinal-lung axis and oral-pulmonary axis. In this paper, the intestinal flora will be used as the starting point to explore the relationship between spinal cord injury, intestinal flora and spinal cord injury complications, providing new ideas for the treatment of spinal cord injury patients and the prevention of complications.
