Abstract:Objective To study the influence of probiotics combined with enteral nutrition on Inflammation, bacterial translocation and immune function in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients. Methods Seventy-two cases of SAP patients in our hospital from July 2013 to December 2015 were collected and divided into observation group and control group according to the double blind randomized method, each group had 36 cases in it. Patients in observation group were treated with probiotics combined with enteral nutrition and those in control group were treated enteral nutrition only, each lasted for two weeks. On admission and two weeks after treatment, serum contents of inflammatory cytokines were measured by cytometric bead array (CBA). Results Two weeks after treatment,serum IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, Endotoxin, D-lactate were lower in observation group than those in control group (P < 0.05); peripheral blood CD3+ T lymphocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ were higher in observation group than those in control group, CD8+ T lymphocyte level was lower in observation group than that in control group(P < 0.05). Effective rate of observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Probiotics combined with enteral nutrition can relieve systemic inflammatory response ,inhibit intestinal flora translocation, improve the immune function in patients with SAP and improve the short-term treatment effect.
