Effect of probiotic intervention on intestinal flora and immune status in patients with secondary infections to HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure
To assess the effect of probiotic intervention on intestinal flora and immune status in patients with secondary infections to HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).
Methods
2
A total of 101 patients with HBV-ACLF treated in our hospital between January
2017 and June
2018 were enrolled in this study
including 56 without secondary infections (HBV-ACLF group) and 45 with secondary infections to HBV-ACLF (secondary infection group)
with 67 healthy participants as controls. All the patients with HBV-ACLF were treated with bifidobacterium quadruple live bacteria tablets in addition to the routine treatments for 1 month. From all the participants
fecal
specimens were collected before and after the treatment to analyze the changes in
Lactobacillus
Bifidobacterium
Escherichia coli
Enterococcus
yeast
Staphylococcus
Bacteroides
and
Streptococcus mutans
; peripheral blood samples were also obtained for testing the serum levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA)
IgG and IgM using ELISA; the changes in T lymphocyte subsets CD3
+
CD4
+
and CD8
+
were detected using immunofluorescence flow cytometry
and the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP)
tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)
interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8(IL-8) were determined using ELISA.
Results
2
Compared with the control group
the patients with HBV-ACLF in both groups before the treatment showed significantly reduced abundance of intestinal
Lactobacilli
and
Bifidobacteria
and increased abundance of
Escherichia coli
Enterococcus
yeast
Staphylococcus
Bacteroides
and
Streptococcus pneumoniae
(
P
<
0.05)
with significantly lowered levels of IgA
IgG
IgM
NK
CD4
+
and CD4
+
/CD8
+
(
P
<
0.05) and elevated levels of CRP
TNF-α
IL-6 and IL-8 (
P
<
0.05); These changes were even more obvious in patients with secondary infections than in those without infections (
P
<
0.05). After the treatment
the intestinal
Lactobacilli
Bifidobacteria
and blood levels of IgA
IgG
IgM
NK
CD4
+
and CD4
+
/CD8
+
increased significantly (
P
<
0.05)
and intestinal
Escherichia coli
Enterococcus
yeast
Staphylococcus
Bacteroides
Streptococcus pneumoniae
and the levels of CRP
TNF-α
IL-6 and IL-8 were all decrea
sed in both HBV-ACLF group and the secondary infection group (
P
<
0.05). No significant differences in CD3
+
or CD8
+
cells were found among the 3 groups either before or after the treatment (
P
>
0.05).
Conclusion
2
The patients with secondary infections to HBV-ACLF have abnormal changes in intestinal flora and immune status
which can be improved by probiotic intervention.
