简介:AbstractThe incidence and prevalence of asthma have increased remarkably in recent years. There are lots of factors contributing to the occurrence and development of asthma. With the improvement of sequencing technology, it has been found that the microbiome plays an important role in the formation of asthma in early life. The roles of the microbial environment and human microbiome in the occurrence and development of asthma have attracted more and more attention. The environmental microbiome influences the occurrence of asthma by shaping the human microbiome. The specific mechanism may be related to the immune regulation of Toll-like receptors and T cells (special Tregs). Intestinal microbiome is formed and changed by regulating diet and lifestyle in early life, which may affect the development and maturation of the pulmonary immune system through the intestinal-pulmonary axis. It is well-recognized that both environmental microbiomes and human microbiomes can influence the onset of asthma. This review aims to summarize the recent advances in the research of microbiome, its relationship with asthma, and the possible mechanism of the microbiome in the occurrence and development of asthma. The research of the microbial environment and human microbiome may provide a new target for the prevention of asthma in children who have high-risk factors to allergy. However, further study of "when and how" to regulate microbiome is still needed.

简介:neovascularization的形成是许多眼睛的脉管的疾病的一个普通病理学的特征,并且是在病人的视觉损失的一个重要原因。Neovascularization能引起网膜的出血,玻璃的出血,和另外的严肃的复杂并发症,导致视觉的损失。intraocularneovascularization的治疗是眼科学研究的焦点。在最近的年里,一些研究发现了autophagy是仔细与脉管的endothelial生长因素和neovascularization的形成有关。Autophagy被期望为intraocularneovascularization的治疗成为一个新目标。因此,这篇文章在autophagy和intraocularneovascularization的形成上考察研究。
