Chief complaint :<\/td>\nHe had symptoms of difficulty in thinking and was said to have adolescent crisis syndrome.\n\nGradually, he began to withdraw from society.\nHe has been taking medication for a long time.\nDelusions have been getting worse for the past 10 years. Depression turned into manic-depression and now only schizophrenic symptoms. I read a book and heard it was the effect of gut bacteria, so I used probiotics, but no change.\nI’ve also given him Lactobify, NOW’s Probio, Alpha Lipo, VitC, VitB, etc., but it hasn’t cleared up much. He now has many tic symptoms, poor comprehension, and gradual progression of symptoms.\nHe says he is being manipulated both verbally and physically.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u30101st transplantation questionnaire\u3011\n(From the patient)\nHe is aware that he is getting a little better.\nHis stomach is not bad.\nHe can sleep at night. His appetite is normal.\nHis smoking has not increased.\n(From his family) The more days pass, the calmer he becomes.

(From the patient) The auditory hallucinations are a little better, but still remain.\nHe is still in an unstable mood because he can’t get rid of his problems.\nPeople around him say things about him (auditory hallucinations).\nThe nature of his stools has not changed. No constipation or diarrhea. Appetite is stable.<\/div>\n\n
\n\n\u30103rd transplantation questionnaire\u3011\n(From the patient)\nI STILL HAVE AUDITORY HALLUCINATIONS. SLEEPS WELL. I DON’T GET FRUSTRATED VERY MUCH.\nI FEEL ABOUT HALF BETTER. I AM GLAD I TRIED THE TRANSPLANT.\nI HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT EVERY DAY.\n(FROM FAMILY) I STILL HAVE AUDITORY HALLUCINATIONS. CONSCIOUSNESS SEEMS CLEARER.\nCIGARETTE SMOKING HAS INCREASED TO ABOUT 4 PACKS.

Transplant Evaluation :<\/td>\nClear improvement of symptoms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pre- and post-transplant flora balance test changes :<\/td>\n[Before implantation] June 2019 Implementation.\n
Lack of diversity<\/div>\n
…C. cluster Blautia is too common. Bacteria increase to protect the host temporarily, but if it has been ongoing, it may have caused chronic inflammation<\/div>\n
\u30fbC. cluster14ab, IV, and Blautia indicates sympathetic dominance and symptoms such as intense assumption, irritability, and insomnia.<\/div>\n
Bacteroides is also present, but it requires a balanced intake of dietary fiber and animal protein from meat and fish in order to produce organic acids and send signals to the brain properly.<\/div>\n\n
\n\n\uff3bNone [during transplantation].\n\n
\n\n[Post-transplant] November 2019.\nCompared to pre-transplant, the diversity and balance of intestinal flora seems to be improving. However, the percentage of Other is increasing. I think a little follow-up is necessary. I would like you to pay attention to your lifestyle and eating habits.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Transplant General Comments and Discussion :<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lack of diversity of intestinal bacteria.\nConsideration from each bacterium. Sympathetic nervous system dominance, which is evident in symptoms such as intense assumption, irritability, and insomnia. In order to produce organic acids and send signals to the brain properly, a balanced intake of dietary fiber and animal protein from meat and fish must be consumed.\nDuring the transplant, the patient appeared to be mildly to moderately improved. As soon as the patient left the same day of transplantation, the improvement was so obvious to those around her.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\uff1cIntestinal flora balance Post-transplant data\uff1e\n\n\"\"\n\n
