Abstract:Results: Alpha diversity was higher in non-metastasis cohort than that in metastasis cohort, but no significance (observed species P ¼ 0.08, and Shannon index P ¼ 0.03). Beta diversity was higher in non-metastasis cohort than that in metastasis cohort significantly (weighted unifrac p<0.01). Compared to non-metastasis cohort, the relative abundance rate of familie verrucomicrobia (metastasis cohort 0.056 and nonmetastasis cohort 0.022, p<0.05) was greater in metastasis cohort, of which Akkermansia muciniphila … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
