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.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and the influence on T cell subsets of telbivudine in the treatment of HBeAg -positive chronic hepatitis B , guide clinical treatment .Methods 70 patients HBeAg -positive chronic hepatitis B in our hospital were randomly divided into the telbivudine group which were received telbi -vudine 600mg/d and lamivudine group which were received lamivudine 100mg/d,35 cases of each group ,both group had been treated for 48 weeks,the liver function (ALT,AST) were detected for making a statistics of ALT normaliza-tion,the serum were extracting for detecting HBV -DNA and making a statistics of HBV -DNA negative rate by PCR,the HbeAg were detected for making a statistics of HBeAg seroconversionby ECLIA ,T cell subsets ( CD3+,CD4+, CD8+,CD4+/CD8+) were detected by flow cytometry ,observed adverse events .Results The ALT,AST,HBV-DNA of the telbivudine group and lamivudine group after treatment were (36.04 ±7.62)U/L and (63.53 ±14.13)U/L, (34.26 ±8.51)U/L and (55.31 ±15.48)U/L,(2.22 ±0.73)copies/mL and (3.28 ±0.95)copies/mL,all indi-cators significantly lower than before treatment (t =24.826,18.564,7.495 and 17.413,13.331,5.442,all P<0.05),and the ALT,AST of the telbivudine group were significantly lower than the lamivudine group ( t=3.867, 3.774,3.498,all P<0.05).The ALT normalization,HBV-DNA negative rate,HBeAg seroconversion rate of the telbivudine group and lamivudine group were 97.14%and 74.29%,94.29%and 68.57%,62.86%and 37.14%, telbivudine group,the telbivudine group were significantly higher than that of lamivudine group (χ2 =7.467,7.652, 4.629,all P<0.05).The CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+of telbivudine group and lamivudine group after treatment were (66.3 ±3.8)%and (60.6 ±3.5)%,(38.8 ±5.4)% and (35.2 ±4.4)%,(1.33 ±0.16)% and (0.95 ±0.11)%,all indicaitons significantly higher than before treatment ( t =5.442,6.173,3.753 and 3.404,3.635, 3.222,all P <0.05),the telbivudine group were significantly higher than lamivudine group (t =3.473,3.207, 3.422,all P<0.05).Conclusion The telbivudine has better efficacy than the lamivudine in the treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B because of enhancing immune function ,can improves ALT normalization ,HBV-DNA negative rate and HBeAg seroconversion rate ,inhibit HBV replication .
