ObjectiveTo research and summarize the best evidences of probiotic-riched early enteral nutrition for postoperative liver transplantation, and provide references for precise and individual clinical nutrition and probiotics usage management in patients with liver transplantation.MethodsThe scientific problem was established according to the PIPOST. The British Medical Journal Best Practice, Cochrane Library, Jonna Briggs Institute, Guidelines International Network, National Guideline Clearinghouse, etc. were used to search the papers or relative data recordings. The evidence evaluation and summary were carried out based on the previous documents.ResultsOne evidence summary, 2 systematic reviews, and 5 randomized controlled studies were included. Based on the specific questions, 6 dimensions (24 evidences) were extracted and summarized: the early enteral nutrition was used within postoperative 24 h, starting with 20 mL/h, but not more than 125 mL/h, essential nutrients would be fine and tube feeding would be converted to oral feeding as soon as possible; Lactobacillus 20 mg and Bifidobacterium 15 mg were suggested, 3 times/d, probiotic-riched early enteral nutrition for postoperative liver transplantation should be lasted for at least 14 d.ConclusionsEvidence-based medicine is used to collect the best evidence of probiotic-riched early enteral nutrition for postoperative liver transplantation, there are few studies on early enteral nutrition after liver transplantation in China. Application of the best evidence needs to be analyzed and constructed according to current situation of liver transplantation in China.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used in digestive system diseases, but long-term use of PPI may cause Clostridium difficile infection, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and gastrointestinal barrier dysfunction. Probiotics can improve the digestive tract microecological disorder caused by the application of PPI by inhibiting the colonization of bacteria in the intestinal tract, regulating the body’s immunity, reducing the pH value of the intestinal tract, and enhancing the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa. This article elaborates on the influence of PPI on the microecology of the digestive tract and the regulation of probiotics on the microecology of the digestive tract, aiming to provide some ideas for the digestive tract microecological disorders caused by the application of PPI in clinical practice and their intervention strategies.
Childhood obesity is a global public health problem that seriously affects the normal growth and development of children. In recent years, a large number of studies have pointed out that the intestinal microbiome is closely related to childhood obesity, and the treatment strategies targeting the intestinal microbiome have a certain improvement effect on childhood obesity. This article elaborates on the establishment and development of intestinal microbiome, intestinal microbiome characteristics, the mechanisms of intestinal microbiome involvement in the occurrence and development of childhood obesity, and potential intervention strategies, so as to provide more ideas for basic and clinical research on childhood obesity.
Bacterial biofilms are associated with at least 80% of human bacterial infections. The clinical treatment of biofilm infection is still arduous, and therefore many new treatment options are under study, such as probiotics and their derivatives, quorum sensing inhibitors, antimicrobial peptides, phage therapy, organic acids, light therapy, and plant extracts. However, most of these schemes are not mature, and it is important to develop new research directions of anti-biofilms.
Slow wound healing has been a troublesome problem in clinic. In China, traditional methods such as antibiotics and silver sulfadiazine are used to treat skin wound, but the abuse use has many disadvantages, such as chronic wounds and pathogen resistance. Studies have shown that the microorganisms with symbiotic relationship with organisms have benefits on skin wound. Therefore, the way to develop and utilize probiotics to promote wound healing has become a new research direction. In this paper, we reviewed the studies on the bacteriotherapy in the world, described how the probiotics can play a role in promoting wound healing through local wound and intestine, and introduced some mature probiotics products and clinical trials, aiming to provide foundations for further development of bacteriotherapy and products.
