Abstract

Recently, the relationship between intestinal flora and its metabolites and tumorigenesis, inflammatory bowel diseasesas well as radiation-induced intestinal injury has captivated widespread attention from researchers. Accumulated evidence derived from nuclear accident investigation, animal model experiment and clinical research has proven the role of intestinal flora and its metabolites as the biomarkers to evaluate the radiation dose and severity of radiation-induced intestinal injury. This article reviews the relationship between intestinal flora and its metabolites and radiation-induced intestinal injury, aiming to provide theoretical reference for assessing the risk of radiation-induced intestinal injury. Key words: Intestinal flora; Metabolite; Radiation-induced injury; Biomarker
