what is depression

Depression is the most common mental illness in today's society. Today's young people often use this word when surfing the Internet, "You even called me depressed", "This is too depressing", and even a new Internet vocabulary was born for this purpose - "emo", which generally refers to negative emotions, decadence, depression, and depression.

What kind of disease is depression clinically?

Depression is actually a typical condition of depressive disorder.Depression is a mental disorder with high prevalence and high clinical cure rate. However, due to the lack of awareness of the disease among ordinary people, fewer patients insist on receiving formal treatment. Therefore, it is also characterized by low treatment acceptance rate and high recurrence rate.

Causes and symptoms

Until now, the cause of depression is still unclear, but it is a disease with a clear biological basis, which is caused by a combination of physical factors and environmental factors. Its clinical features are mainly continuous and long-term depression, accompanied by obvious anxiety.

The pathological changes of depression are mainly manifested in the central nervous system, manifesting as a reduction in the function of central monoamine neurotransmitters, especially norepinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine; followed by neuroendocrine abnormalities. Most people with depression just want to lie in bed every day and don't want to do anything else. In severe cases, schizophrenia symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, persecutory delusions, or multiple personalities may occur. It is the most important type of mental illness in modern people.

Diagnosis: Depression, constipation for more than 30 years

Before transplantation

Ms. Yang, who was once an actress, often did not eat anything and sometimes took laxatives to maintain her figure for photogenic effects. Years of bad eating habits led to damage to her gastrointestinal function, which eventually led to constipation. It took a long time to go to the toilet every time. I am afraid that others will wait for me, so I dare not go far away. Have a bowel movement once every 3 days.

They are listless all day long, lose their passion for the things they used to like to do, and are unable to concentrate; they close themselves off and feel that life has lost the fun.

molecular report

Donor-recipient matching report:

Clinically, the comprehensive gut microbiota test provided by TreatGut Health is used to determine whether the microecological environment in the patient's intestinal tract is imbalanced and the risk of various diseases based on the composition and structure analysis of the bacterial flora; andBased on the characteristics of gut microbiota, basic information such as age, gender, region, and health status, donor-recipient matching is performed through analysis of the donor-recipient matching model.;Finally, the doctor combined the test results and clinical diagnosis for treatment, which will be carried out in March 2022.Precision Microbiota TransplantationFirst course of treatment, passed 3 timesoral capsuletransplant in the form. The test results of this patient before and after treatment are shown in the following tables:

After transplantation

Comparison report before and after transplantation

From the test report below, we can see that the score of the gut microbiota has significantly improved, from the original 51.2 points to 77.8 points; the diversity of the gut microbiota has been improved, the abundance of beneficial bacteria in the body has increased, and the harmful bacteria have decreased; many disease risks have also improved;

After one course of Precision Microbiota Transplantation:

After three microbiota transplantations, Ms. Yang's bowel movements improved from once every 3 days to once every 2 days. The diagnosis of anxiety and depression has been alleviated, and she feels more at ease. It is much easier to fall asleep at night than before. In life, communication with people has gradually become full of passion, and she is no longer negative and decadent.

Precision Microbiota Transplantation

In China, microbiota transplantation has been used to treat diseases for more than 1,700 years. In 300-400 AD, Chinese medicine practitioner Ge Hong described in detail the use of fecal suspensions to treat serious illnesses such as food poisoning and severe diarrhea in his book "Emergency Prescriptions". In recent years, microbiota transplantation has been used in the treatment of more than 30 diseases at home and abroad.

Precision Microbiota Transplantation(Precision Microbiota Transplantation, PMT) refers to passing the gut microbiota of healthy donors through an intelligent intestinal bacteria processing systemMade into suspension or capsule, adoptDonor-receptor matchingThe technology selects the optimal donor flora, transplants it into the patient's intestines, and rebuilds the normal functional gut microbiota to achieve the treatment of intestinal and extraintestinal diseases.

TreatGut defines Precision Microbiota Transplantation from the following aspects,

Leading the microbiota transplantation industry towards the 3.0 era.
