The present invention relates to a novel microorganism and a use thereof for preventing, alleviating, or treating intestinal diseases. The strain according to one embodiment has effects of inhibiting intestinal atrophy and reducing bloody stools, and thus is useful for the prevention, amelioration, or treatment of intestinal diseases. In addition, since the strain is significantly reduced in the patient group, the strain can be used for early diagnosis of intestinal diseases or selection of a risk group.

The invention provides a Crohn disease early screening marker based on plasma proteomics. The early screening marker comprises the following nine proteins: CD274, CHI 3L1, REG1B, ITGAV, PRSS8, ITGA11, GDF15, DEFA1DEFA1B and IL6. The early screening marker provided by the invention can accurately and non-invasively predict CD as long as 16 years before diagnosis, which provides an important value for early screening of CD high risk groups and formulation of intervention measures. The invention also provides application of the Crohn disease early screening marker and an early screening kit for Crohn disease prediction.

The present invention discloses a preparation method and application of metalloproteinase-9 antigenic determinant-imprinted nanoparticles. The preparation method adopts the epitope imprinting method to design and synthesize the MMP-9 carboxyl-terminal nonapeptide YDILQCPED as the antigenic determinant template. Zinc acrylate and the green low-melting reagent choline chloride-MAA are used as functional monomers to prepare the imprinted nanoparticles. The polymerization factors that affect the adsorption performance of the imprinted nanoparticles are investigated, and MMP-9 imprinted nanoparticles with excellent adsorption effect, strong specificity, and high reproducibility are obtained. The prepared MIPs can be used as a new highly selective adsorption material for MMP-9 protein and have good application prospects for the enrichment, separation, and detection of trace cancer markers. They are of great significance in the early screening, early diagnosis, treatment guidance, prognosis assessment, and screening of high-risk populations of cancer patients.

Disclosed herein are methods for detecting a false positive initial sample result in a subject initially identified as having, or at risk for, cancer. Such methods can be performed on a sample obtained from the subject while undergoing a colonoscopy. Thus, methods can be useful for confirming or contradicting the initial identification that the high risk subject is at risk for cancer. Altogether, such methods are valuable for improving precision of a cancer test.

The invention discloses application of specific macular morphological characteristics as a biomarker for early prediction of age-related macular degeneration. The specific macular morphological characteristics are as follows: under non-mydriasis natural light, the macular is divided into a central area, an inner ring and an outer ring, the inner ring and the outer ring are further divided into four directions of upper and lower nasal temple, and the specific macular morphological characteristics are shown on the upper parts of the thin inner ring and the outer ring, the thick central area and other outer ring parts. The invention reveals that specific macular morphological characteristics can be used as a biomarker for early prediction of age-related macular degeneration through a potential profile analysis method for the first time. According to comparison with a population macular thickness reference value, the high-risk population of senile macular degeneration is identified through the deviation value, and risk stratification and early intervention are promoted.
