Objective To explore the effect of probiotics combined with early enteral nutrition on clinical outcome of severe traumatic brain injury patients. Methods PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and VIP were searched to indentify randomized controlled trails (RCTs) concerning probiotics combined with early enteral nutrition in treatment of severe traumatic brain injury patients.Methodological quality of included studies was evaluated, and data were analyzed with The Cochrane Collaboration's soft ware RevMan 5.2.0. Results Seven prospective RCTs met the criteria.Meta analysis showed that probiotics combined with early enteral nutrition could shorten the length of ICU stay [MD=-4.73, 95%CI=(-6.45,-3.00), P<0.000 01], reduce mortality rates [RR=0.44, 95%CI=0.30,0.66, P<0.0001], reduce overall infection rates [RR=0.52, 95%CI=(0.39,0.68), P<0.000 1]. Conclusion Probiotics combined with early enteral nutrition could improve the clinical outcomes of severe brain injury patients.

DUDRICK SJ,PANAITI.Metabolic consequences of patients with gastrointestinal fistulas[J].,2011,37(3):215-225.
ABSTRACT Methods and MaterialsThe historical highlights of the management of fistulas of the gastrointestinal tract during the past century are presented briefly, together with the significant lessons learned from the studies published in the literature. DiscussionThe evolution from predominantly operative or technical approaches to comprehensive multidisciplinary management of metabolic and nutritional support, which are essential to optimal fistula closure, and morbidity and mortality outcomes are discussed. The importance of achieving hemodynamic stability, fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, fistula effluent control, protection of the skin, control of infection and sepsis, and cardiopulmonary and major organ support, preferably by specially trained and motivated teams in critical care units of institutions with the interest, resources, and skills in managing the metabolic consequences of gastrointestinal fistula patients, is emphasized. The current status of the nutritional and metabolic support of patients with gastrointestinal tract fistulas is outlined and discussed briefly. ConclusionsThe optimal metabolic and nutritional management of patients with gastrointestinal tract fistulas is an extraordinary and daunting challenge which has yet to be perfected, demonstrated, and applied universally. Much education, research, motivation, proficiency, and concerted conscientious effort will be required in order to achieve this elusive but noble goal. Some suggestions for achieving success in this endeavor are proffered, consistent with the senior author’s philosophy, which has evolved during a half-century of experience and endeavor in this vital area.

TANM,ZHU JC,DUJ,et al.Effect of probiotics on serum levels of Th1/Th2 cytokine and clinical outcomes in severe traumatic brain-injured patients:a prospective randomized pilot study[J].,2011,15(6):R290.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with a profound immunological dysfunction manifested by a severe shift from T-helper type 1 (Th1) to T-helper type 2 (Th2) response. This predisposes patients to infections, sepsis, and adverse outcomes. Probiotic bacteria have been shown to balance the Th1/Th2 cytokines in allergic murine models and patients. For the present study, we hypothesized that the enteral administration of probiotics would adjust the Th1/Th2 imbalance and improve clinical outcomes in TBI patients.We designed a prospective, randomized, single-blind study. Patients with severe TBI and Glasgow Coma Scale scores between 5 and 8 were included, resulting in 26 patients in the control group and 26 patients in the probiotic group. All patients received enteral nutrition via a nasogastric tube within 24 to 48 hours following admission. In addition, the probiotic group received 109 bacteria of viable probiotics per day for 21 days. The associated serum levels of Th1/Th2 cytokines, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, nosocomial infections, length of ICU stay, and 28-day mortality rate were studied.The patients responded to viable probiotics, and showed a significantly higher increase in serum IL-12p70 and IFN纬 levels while also experiencing a dramatic decrease in IL-4 and IL-10 concentrations. APACHE II and SOFA scores were not significantly affected by probiotic treatment. Patients in the probiotic group experienced a decreased incidence of nosocomial infections towards the end of the study. Shorter ICU stays were also observed among patients treated with probiotic therapy. However, the 28-day mortality rate was unaffected.The present study showed that daily prophylactic administration of probiotics could attenuate the deviated Th1/Th2 response induced by severe TBI, and could result in a decreased nosocomial infection rate, especially in the late period.ChiCTR-TRC-10000835.
SHIMIZUK,OGURAH,HAMASAKIT,et al.Altered gut flora are associated with septic complications and death in critically ill patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome[J].,2011,56(4):1171-1177.
Gut under severe insult is considered to have an important role in promoting infection and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome from the viewpoint of altered intestinal epithelium, immune system and commensal bacteria. There are few reports, however, about the relationship between gut flora and septic complications.We analyzed gut flora in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and evaluated key bacteria and their cutoff values for infectious complications and mortality by using classification and regression trees (CART). Eighty-one SIRS patients with a serum C-reactive protein level higher than 10mg/dL treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 2days were included for the study. We quantitatively evaluated nine types of bacteria in fecal samples by plate or tube technique. Two hundred seventy-one samples were analyzed using CART and logistic regression.The dominant factors for complication of enteritis were the minimum number of total obligate anaerobes and the maximum number of Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. The dominant factors for complication of bacteremia were the minimum numbers of total obligate anaerobes and total facultative anaerobes. The dominant factors for mortality were the numbers of total obligate anaerobes and total facultative anaerobes and age.A decrease in total obligate anaerobes and an increase in pathogenic bacteria in the gut are associated with septic complications and mortality in patients with SIRS. The altered gut flora may be a potential prognostic marker in SIRS patients.
AKYOLS,MAS MR,COMERTB,et al.The effect of antibiotic and probiotic combination therapy on secondary pancreatic infections and oxidative stress parameters in experimental acute necrotizing pancreatitis[J].,2003,26(4):363-367.
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Ciprofloxacin and meropenem have effects on intestinal bacteria that are responsible for pancreatic infection, and on the basis of recent data it has been argued that probiotics, especially those used in the food industry, could improve efforts to prevent and treat secondary pancreatic infections by inhibiting bacterial translocation. AIMS: To evaluate the effects of probiotic treatment alone or in combination with early administration of two different antibiotics on serum amylase, pancreatic histopathology, bacterial translocation, and oxidative markers. METHODOLOGY: Acute pancreatitis was induced in rats with 3% sodium taurocholate (1 mL/kg intraductally), except in group VI (sham group). After the stabilization period, the rats were divided into seven groups (n = 20) randomly. At hour 6 after injection, group I rats received probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii (25 mg/d orally q.d.), group II received meropenem (60 mg/kg intraperitoneally b.i.d.), group III received ciprofloxacin (40 mg/kg intraperitoneally b.i.d.), group IV received the same dose of probiotic plus meropenem, and group V received probiotic plus ciprofloxacin. Treatment was not given to group VI (sham group) and group VII (pancreatitis group). At hour 48 after induction, specimens were collected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Although histopathologic scores in treatment groups were found to be lower than in group VII, the difference was statistically significant only in group V (p < 0.001). In evaluation of oxidative stress, we found that MDA levels decreased and SOD levels increased in treatment groups in comparison with levels in group VII. Probiotic treatment alone reduced bacterial translocation. Probiotic-antibiotic combination therapy was shown to improve histopathologic scores and oxidative parameters.

BICKERTT,TRUJILLO-VARGAS C M,DUECHS M,et al.Probiotic Escherichiacoli Nissle 1917 suppresses allergen-induced Th2 responses in the airways[J].,2009,149(3):219-230.
Recent clinical trials, epidemiological studies and animal experiments have suggested that probiotics may help suppress the development of allergic responses.To investigate whether the application of the probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) protects mice from developing ovalbumin (OVA)-specific T helper-2 responses in the airways.OVA-specific Th2 responses were induced by 2 intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections with OVA/alum followed by 1 intranasal (i.n.) challenge with OVA. EcN was given orally during the entire sensitization and challenge period, together with OVA/alum during the i.p. sensitizations, or i.n. before or during the airway challenge with OVA.We found that when the bacteria were given together with OVA/alum airway eosinophilia, airway hyper-reactivity, goblet cell metaplasia and IL-5 levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage and mediastinal lymph node cell cultures were reduced. This effect was associated with increased numbers of IFN-gamma producing T helper-1 cells and IFN-gamma levels in the airways and strongly increased OVA-specific IgG(2a) titers in the serum. The suppressive effect on airway eosinophilia was dependent on IFN-gamma but not TLR-4. Applying EcN i.n. or orally did not reduce the development of allergen-specific Th2 responses.Our results suggest that EcN can inhibit the development of allergic responses when the bacteria are present at the site of Th2 cell priming and that this immunomodulatory effect is due to a shift from Th2 to Th1 response. The data support the hypothesis that probiotics may help reduce allergic responses and that EcN may also be used as adjuvant therapy to induce allergen-specific Th1 responses.
