Relationships Between Diurnal Changes of Tongue Coating Microbiota and Intestinal Microbiota.

The oral cavity and the intestine are the main distribution locations of human digestive bacteria. Exploring the relationships between the tongue coating and gut microbiota, the influence of the diurnal variations of the tongue coating microbiota on the intestinal microbiota can provide a reference for the development of the disease diagnosis and monitoring, as well as the medication time. In this work, a total of 39 healthy college students were recruited.

Tongue color clustering and visual application based on 2D information.

Purpose: Studies have shown the association between tongue color and diseases. To help clinicians make more objective and accurate decisions quickly, we take unsupervised learning to deal with the basic clustering of tongue color in a 2D way.

Methods: A total of 595 typical tongue images were analyzed.
