Abstract:
Objective To investigate effect of probiotics in the treatment of patients with severe hepatitis and its influence on inflammatory cytokines.Methods A retrospective analysis of the data of patients with severe hepati-tis were maded.There were 100 patients,which including 50 cases of the observation group and 50 cases of control group,the control group was given conventional treatment,the observation group was given Bacillus viable capsule (Zhengchangsheng) for 4 weeks,2 granule a time and three times a day.The clinical symptoms were observed before and after treatment,the blood was exsanguinated for detecting bowel flora,total bilirubin,liver function and inflamma-tory cytokines.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 86%,which was significantly higher than 56% of the control group(χ2 =11.409,P <0.01).The enterobacter of the observation group after treatment was (6.71 ±1.30)lgn/g,which was lower than before treatment(t =3.602,P <0.05),the bifidobacterium,lactobacillus, bacteroides were (7.88 ±1.18)lgn/g,(8.08 ±1.65) lgn/g,(8.30 ±1.20)lgn/g,respectively,which were higher than before treatment(t =3.772,3.707,3.523,all P <0.05).The intestinal flora in the control group had no differ-ence before and after treatment.After treatment,the total bilirubin,ALT,plasma endotoxin of the observation group and the control group were (195.0 ±25.4)μmol/L and (307.6 ±40.5)μmol/L,(58.2 ±11.5)U/L and (90.2 ± 10.5)U/L,(0.18 ±0.06)EU/mL and (0.29 ±0.08)EU/mL,respectively,which were lower than before treatment (t =16.307,9.408,10.157 and 4.032,8.075,5.076,all P <0.01).The serum TNF -α,IL -6 levels of the obser-vation group were (106.2 ±12.5)pg/mL,(82.3 ±18.9)pg/mL,which were lower than before treatment(t =3.732, 4.017,all P <0.05),which of the control group were (130.5 ±20.6)pg/mL,(110.2 ±17.8)pg/mL,there was no difference before and after treatment.The IL -2,IL -10 levels of the observation group were (60.7 ±10.0)pg/mL, (31.7 ±6.6)pg/mL,which were significantly higher than before treatment(t =3.757,3.877,all P <0.05),which of the control group were (46.2 ±5.8)pg/mL,(23.4 ±5.1)pg/mL,which had no difference before and after treat-ment.The total bilirubin,ALT,plasma endotoxin,serum TNF -α,IL -6 levels of the observation group were lower than the control group(t =7.653,8.104,3.309,3.511,3.787,all P <0.05).The IL -2,IL -10 levels of the obser-vation group were higher than the control group(t =3.487,3.428,all P <0.05).Conclusion Probiotics can correct intestinal flora,reduce plasma endotoxin,inhibit inflammatory mediators,reduce inflammation of the liver damage, improve liver function and clinical symptoms and should be introduced in the treatment of severe hepatitis.
