Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
HSCT patients with acute steroid-resistant GI-related GVHD
Patients will receive 500ml fecal microbiota which were sprayed evenly on the entire colon through colonscopy or duodenal nutrition tube injection which collected from one unrelated healthy donors. Patients receiving FMT treatment will be followed for at least 1,3,5,7 days.Stool, blood and colonic mucosa samples will be serially collected and tested (before pre-treatment, 1,3,5,7 days after FMT).
