Abstract:Abstract: Objective To investigate the excessive growth of intestinal bacteria in the internal orifice of different types of appendix under endoscopy. Methods 153 cases were screened from outpatient health checkups. Glucose hydrogen breath test was performed to record the bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. Colonoscopy was performed to record the shape of the appendix, which was divided into the shape of the appendix. Funeral, membrane-like, and fissure-type three groups were used to compare the growth of intestinal bacteria in three groups. Results Proportion of the shape of the appendix in the physical examination population: funnel type 63.4% (97/153) > membrane type 22.2% (34/153) > fissure type 14.4% (22/153); The positive rate of intestinal bacterial overgrowth in the funnel-type group was much higher than that in the membrane-type group and the fracture-type group, and the difference was significant (P < 0.01); The positive rate of intestinal bacterial overgrowth in the membrane-type group was higher than that in the fracture group, and the difference was significant (P < 0.01). Conclusions The endoscopic shape of the appendix is much higher than that of the membrane type and fissure type. It is clinically important to pay attention to the possibility that the funnel of the appendix can easily coexist with intestinal bacteria.
