ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the safety and therapeutic effect of probiotics combined with ornithine aspartate on patients with liver cirrhosis complicated by hepatic encephalopathy.Methods:72 patients with hepatic encephalopathy hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Technology from January 2017 to December 2021 were randomly. According to the principle of comparability between groups in terms of gender and age, the group was divided into an observation group (36 cases) and a control group (36 cases) using a random number table method. The control group was treated with ornithine aspartate, while the case group was treated with probiotics combined with ornithine aspartate. The curative effect of the two groups of patients and the changes of serum inflammatory factors, intestinal flora and intestinal mucosal barrier function were observed.Results:The total effective rate of the case group was higher than that of the control group [97.22%(35/36) vs 83.33%(30/36)], The difference between groups is statistically significant (χ 2=2.53, P=0.112). After treatment, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), blood ammonia, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the two groups-α (TNF-α)、C-reactive protein (CRP), enterobacter, enterococcus content, endotoxin, D-lactic acid, diamine oxidase, and digital connection test (NCT) time were lower than before treatment [(-130.89±31.67) U/L vs (-98.64±43.41) U/L,(-137.81±31.92) U/L vs (-79.58±45.42) U/L, (-57.13±21.07) μmol/L vs (-45.92±18.11) μmol/L,(-164.06±19.30) μmol/L vs (-148.98±12.97) μmol/L, (-5.35±2.30) ng/L vs (2.18±2.77) ng/L,(-5.51±2.07) μmol/L vs (-3.72±1.50) ng/L, (-12.60±3.65) ng/L比(-7.97±5.86) ng/L, (-45.95±20.34) mg/L vs (-21.14±19.09) mg/L, (-2.70±1.53) vs (-1.31±2.47), (-2.50±1.26) vs (-1.39±1.97),(-0.32±0.09) EU/ml vs (-0.19±0.09) EU/ml, (-47.58±18.52) nmol/L vs (-32.31±22.21) nmol/L,(-3.44±1.06) U/ml vs (-1.86±1.30) U/ml, (-31.75±10.09) s vs (-14.58±10.10) s] and the scores of bifidobacterium, lactobacillus, and digital sign test (DST) were higher than before treatment [(2.77±1.76) vs (1.13±2.06), (3.23±1.61) vs (1.06±2.31), (32.58±5.72) vs (16.33±6.16)]. After treatment, ALT, AST, TBIL, blood ammonia, IL-6, IL-8, TNF in the case group-α, CRP, Enterobacter, Enterococcus content, endotoxin, D-lactic acid, diamine oxidase, NCT time were lower than those in the control group, and bifidobacterium, lactobacillus, DST scores were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences(t-values of 3.60, 6.29, 2.42, 3.89, 5.28, 4.21, 4.03, 5.34, 2.87, 2.86, 6.11, 3.17, 5.63, 7.21, 3.61, 4.64 and 11.59. P-values of 0.001, <0.001, 0.018, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, 0.005, 0.006, <0.001, 0.002, <0.001, <0.001, 0.001, <0.001, and <0.001). Conclusions:Micro-ecological preparation combined with ornithine aspartate has a significant therapeutic effect on patients with hepatic encephalopathy, which can significantly improve liver function and cognitive function of patients, reduce blood ammonia level, inhibit inflammatory reaction, improve intestinal flora and intestinal mucosal barrier function, with good safety, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
