Effect of Carbon Dioxide Insufflation and Appendix on the Restoration of Intestinal Microecology After Colonoscopy.
Conditions: Colonoscopy, Gastrointestinal Microbiome, Appendix, Carbon Dioxide Insufflation
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 40 Years
Healthy volunteers: 1
Enrollment: 38
Sponsor: Zhongshan Hospital Xiamen University
Location: China
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about Influencing factors of intestinal microecological changes before and after colonoscopy.
The main questions it aims to answer are:[question 1] The process of colonoscopic gas insufflation affects the intestinal microecology.
Will the use of carbon dioxide gas insufflation can reduce the changes of intestinal microecology after colonoscopy?[question 2] Can the appendix act as a reservoir for microorganisms to accelerate the recovery of intestinal microecology after colonoscopy?Participants will be asked to accept colonoscopy for once.
Group 1(Control group) will be insufflated air during the colonoscopy; Group 2(Carbon dioxide group) will be insufflated carbon dioxide during the colonoscopy; Group 3(After appendectomy group) will be insufflated air during the colonoscopy.Since Group 1 is comparison group, the investigators will compare Group 2 to see if carbon dioxide gas insufflation can reduce the changes of intestinal microecology after colonoscopy.
Meanwhile, compare Group 3 to see if the appendix can accelerate the recovery of intestinal microecology after colonoscopy.
