Was defined by: a) Global NIH scoring: patients had mild cGVHD if only 1 or 2 organs (except lungs) were involved, with a maximum score 1 in all affected organs. Moderate cGVHD involved at least 1 organ with clinically significant, but not major disability (maximum score 2); or 3 or more organs with no clinically significant functional impairment (maximum score 1 in all affect organs). A lung score 1 was classified as moderate. Severe cGVHD indicated major impairment caused by cGVHD (score 3 in any organ). Lung scores of 2 or 3 were classified as severe. Organs scored included the skin, eyes, mouth, GI tract, liver, lungs, and joint/fascia. The genital area was scored in females only20 (link); b) NIH average score which is a result of total NIH score for each of the organ systems divided by the total number of organ systems analyzed (8 for female and 7 for male); c) Lee symptom scale: degree of patient bother with cGVHD symptoms. It is a 30-item symptom scale with 7 subscales which correlate highly with patients' self-assessed mild, moderate, and severe cGVHD manifestations23 (link); d) using the physical component summary (PCS) scale, drawn from the SF-36 v.2, a well validated measure of self-assessed health24 (link); e) Schirmer's tear test performed in each eye with anesthesia scored from 0-30 mm; f) Oral Mucositis Rating Scale (OMRS) a rating scale (0-273) used to grade and measure oral changes including erythema, atrophy and ulceration25 (link); g) Percentage of skin body surface area (BSA) affected by: erythema, moveable sclerotic skin manifestations, and non-moveable skin changes and fasciitis.22 (link)

FMT was performed through oral gavage of mucus (first day) and faeces (second and third days) preparations from donor mice. This protocol facilitates the engraftment of the mucus-associated bacteria. Donor mice were untreated (normobiotic) donors, DSS-treated (dysbiotic) or treated with metronidazole (1 g/L), vancomycin (1 g/L), streptomycin (2 g/L) or a cocktail of the three antibiotics combined in order to deplete distinct taxa of bacteria. Mucus was scraped from colons, diluted in PBS and administered to recipients at 1:1 ratio. Faeces were collected, diluted in PBS (50 mg/ml) and administered to recipients by oral gavage (10 mg/mouse) one day after the end of acute DSS administration.
For in vivo IL-10R blockade, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 250 µg InVivoMAb anti-mouse IL-10R (BioXCell, clone 1B1.3 A), or its Isotype (BioXCell), daily for 4 days starting from one day before FMT treatment.

We analyzed data from the patient population enrolled in the SELECT BC study that completed both the EQ-5D-3L and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires at baseline. Because AEs were not assessed after the study treatment, we included only the EQ-5D-3L and EORTC QLQ-C30 measured before the end of the last course of the study treatment. We summarized profiles of health utility and HRQOL, and calculated completion rates, defined as the number of completed questionnaires divided by the number of expected responses, excluding patients after the study treatment. We examined predictive factors of incomplete assessments using a multivariable logistic generalized estimating equation.
For processing AE data, we chose 15 non-hematological AEs relevant to the treatment of metastatic breast cancer: febrile neutropenia, fever, fatigue, alopecia, allergy, diarrhea, oral mucositis, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, edema, motor neuropathy, sensory neuropathy, arthralgia, and myalgia. We then identified the last grade of each AE immediately before EQ-5D-3L and EORTC QLQ-C30 assessment (i.e. 3, 6, and 12 months). We counted the total number of incidences for each AE at three time points, and calculated the difference between incidence date of AEs and assessment date of the EQ-5D-3L and EORTC QLQ-C30. Finally, we selected AEs with ten or more incidences for subsequent analysis, meaning that we did not analyze AEs with fewer incidences because those estimates that essentially reflect the small number of assessments would be unstable and imprecise.
We used linear marginal mean models with time-dependent AEs to quantify the impact of each AE on health utility and HRQOL [27 ]. Analyses using the linear marginal mean model were adjusted for baseline scores, age, treatment, time, and treatment-by-time interaction (see Online Resource 1 for more details) [28 ]. First, we conducted separate analysis, where only a single analyzable AE (i.e. ten or more incidences) was included in the model. We then conducted simultaneous analysis, where all analyzable AEs were included in the models. Grades of AEs were modeled using linear and quadratic terms. We fitted the models using the generalized estimating equation method [27 ].
All analyses were conducted using SAS version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). All p value evaluations were two-sided, and a p value < 0.05 was considered nominally statistically significant without multiplicity adjustment.

The presence and severity of oral mucositis and candidiasis were assessed in all participants at three-time points of the study: i) on the day of the first RT session (initial assessment); ii) halfway through RT treatment (intermediate assessment); and iii) on the day of the last RT session (final assessment). The intermediate evaluation occurred between the 14th and 20th RT sessions for the participants assigned to the GConv and between the 8th and 12th sessions for the GHipo.
Oral mucositis was evaluated according to the methodology proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which established the classification criteria to assess this oral mucosa condition [20 ]. It is a visual and noninvasive evaluation of the oral cavity, where the categorization follows the following parameters: grade 0, no changes; grade 1, pain/erythema; grade 2, erythema and ulcers; grade 3, ulcers (liquid diet only); grade 4, it is not possible to ingest food.
The presence of pseudomembranous candidiasis was clinically evaluated [21 (link)]. This evaluation was based on the observation of anatomic localization, features, and removal of the pseudomembrane by rubbing the lesion with gauze, with the adjacent mucosa appearing normal or erythematous, usually painless [21 (link)].
Both evaluations were performed on all participants by a single operator with extensive academic training in dentistry and clinical experience, properly trained in all stages proposed to minimize biases related to different perceptions of the oral condition of the participants. In addition to visual evaluation, the participant was also asked about the intensity of pain and difficulty swallowing food.

In order to extract dishes related to CRDFs and non-CRDFs, 1279 dishes consumed by participants in the 2016–2018 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. Contribution analysis (CA) and variability analysis (VA) were performed to select FFQ dish items. CA is a statistical method that calculates the cumulative contribution of a dish to each DF. For example, all dishes can contribute to energy, but CA will sort all dishes by their highest contribution first. When selecting dishes that contributed up to 90% of the 21 DFs, 579 dishes met these criteria. Therefore, we selected dishes until the cumulative ratio of each DF reached 50%. VA is a statistical method that calculates the between-individual variance of dish intake for DF through multivariate regression analysis. VA enabled us to select dish items while considering inter-individual variability. When we selected dishes that contributed up to 90% of the 21 DFs, 438 dishes met these criteria, and 88 dishes contributed up to 50%. Therefore, we included dishes up to the point where the cumulative sum of VA was 70%.
Of the 1279 dishes eaten by the participants, the final dish lists were selected using the CA and VA methods. A total of 196 dish items were extracted. After regrouping based on the similarity of main ingredients and cooking method, a final 107 dish items were selected. Then, honey and ginger were added to the FFQ list (Figure 1) because they are known to reduce the side effects of anti-cancer treatment. A meta-analysis has reported that honey can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of patients with cancer and delay and reduce the onset of oral mucositis [19 (link),20 (link),21 (link),22 (link)]. Ginger is also a traditional vomiting remedy [23 (link)] and may reduce nausea, vomiting, and fatigue [24 (link)].

In each group, chemotherapy and the induction of oral mucositis were carried out as previously described by Katagiri et al. [1 (link)], and inoculation with Candida albicans was performed as described by Takakura et al. [9 (link)]. Briefly, for chemotherapy, 7 mg/kg cisplatin on day 1 and 10 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 were intraperitoneally injected into the mice. For C. albicans inoculation, 5.0 × 106 cells/25 µL of the ATCC 48130 strain were orally administered at day 2, 3, and 5 of chemotherapy. Prophylactic treatment in Groups A, B, and C was performed on days 3, 4, and 5 (Figure 1). In Group A, the mouth was carefully cleaned with sterile cotton and saline until no removable stains remained in the entire mouth. In Group B, 2% miconazole gel was administrated orally at 60 mg/kg with sterile cotton (Mochida Pharmaceutical, Tokyo, Japan). In Group C, fluconazole 1 mg/mL (Pfizer, Tokyo, Japan) was administrated intravenously at 0.52 mg/kg. All mice were sacrificed on day 6 with a lethal dose of general anesthesia. At the same time, a blood sample for culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was taken from the cardiac apex without any contamination.

Population-based retrospective cohort data came from Korea National Health Insurance claims for 172,462 primiparous women aged 25–40 and delivered in 2017. This retrospective cohort study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Korea University Anam Hospital on 5 November 2018 (2018AN0365). Informed consent was waived by the IRB.
The dependent variable was PTB (birth before 37 weeks of gestation) in 2017. Four categories of PTB were introduced according to the ICD-10 Code: (1) PTB 1—PTB with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) only; (2) PTB 2—preterm labor and birth without PROM; (3) PTB 3—PTB 1 or PTB 2; (4) PTB 4—PTB 3 or other indicated PTB (Table S1). The 188 independent variables covered the following information: (1) demographic/socioeconomic determinants in 2016, including age and socioeconomic status measured by an insurance fee with the range of 1 (the highest socioeconomic group) to 20 (the lowest socioeconomic group); (2) dental diseases for any of the years 2002–2016, i.e., dental cavity, oral mucositis, periodontitis, salivary gland disease, tooth loss; (3) gastrointestinal diseases for any of the years 2002–2016, i.e., Crohn’s disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis; (4) obstetric history in 2016, that is, infertility; (5) medication history in 2016 including benzodiazepine, calcium channel blocker, nitrate, progesterone, sleeping pill, and tricyclic antidepressant. The selection of these 186 independent variables were based on previous studies and data availability. These data on disease and medication history were screened from ICD-10 and ATC codes, respectively (Supplementary Tables S1 and S2).

For oral mucositis index scoring, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane every 24–48 h. Mice induction was briefly done in a chamber at 5% isoflurane in oxygen until the loss of the righting reflex occurred. Animals were then left in the chamber with isoflurane 2% in oxygen for 2–3 min before being removed to perform the oral mucositis scoring. The time required for mice examination and image collection for each mouse was approximately 2–3 min.
At the end of each experimental time point (specifically days, 14, 16, and 19 of the experiment), and after weighing the animals, mice were euthanized by exsanguination via cardiac puncture under general anaesthesia. Briefly, general anaesthesia was induced in a chamber at 5% isoflurane in oxygen until loss of the righting reflex occurred. Animals were then maintained on 2–3% isoflurane via a nose cone and laid on the back, and a 25–26 gouge needle was inserted into the heart at a 15–30° angle from the point just beyond the sternum. Negative pressure was applied slowly to withdraw the maximum amount of blood (~ 1 ml) from the heart. To ensure the mice were dead, cervical dislocation was also performed.
The general anaesthesia procedure and post procedure monitoring were conducted in accordance with the Melbourne University’s “General anaesthesia for mice and rats” Animal Care and Use Standard.
