摘要:
目的 观察凉血解毒方对HBV相关慢加急性肝衰竭(HBV-ACLF)患者肠道菌群的影响。 方法 选取2018年10月—2019年10月于北京地坛医院住院诊断为HBV-ACLF的患者,招募同期正常健康人群作为对照(HP组),通过高通量测序的方法筛选出HBV-ACLF患者与正常健康人群的菌群多样性和菌种的差异,从门、属水平筛选出两组的差异菌;利用体外模拟发酵实验,HBV-ACLF患者给予不同浓度(0、10%、50%、100%)凉血解毒方培养基培养24 h,从属分类水平比较分析HBV-ACLF用药组、HBV-ACLF未用药组及HP组菌群变化。正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用t检验;非正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U检验。 结果 共纳入HBV-ACLF患者10例,其中HBV-ACLF用药组5例,未用药组5例;HP组15例。HBV-ACLF未用药组较HP组肠道菌群多样性及丰度下降。在门分类水平,HP组每个样本均以拟杆菌门和厚壁菌门为主;HBV-ACLF未用药组拟杆菌门明显减少,梭杆菌门、变形菌门、纤维杆菌门增多。在属分类水平上,HBV-ACLF未用药组瘤胃菌、布劳特菌属、真杆菌属较HP组明显减少,而副杆菌属、乳酸杆菌、梭杆菌、链球菌较HP组增多。体外模拟发酵实验结果显示,HBV-ACLF用药组瘤胃菌、毛螺菌属、拟杆菌、氏菌属相对丰度值较HBV-ACLF未用药组显著升高,而梭杆菌、变形菌较未用药组显著减少(P值均<0.05)。 结论 凉血解毒方能够调节肠道菌群紊乱,恢复肠道菌群多样性,增加优势菌,减少致病菌,这可能是其治疗HBV-ACLF重要的作用机制之一。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of Liangxue Jiedu decoction on intestinal flora in patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF). Methods The patients who were hospitalized and diagnosed with HBV-ACLF in Beijing Ditan Hospital from October 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled, and healthy individuals were enrolled as HP group. High-throughput sequencing was used to screen for the differences in bacterial diversity and species between HBV-ACLF patients and healthy individuals, and differentially expressed bacteria between the two groups were screened out at the phylum and genus levels. With the help of in vitro simulated fermentation experiment, fecal samples were collected from the patients with HBV-ACLF and were then cultured in the medium containing different concentrations of Liangxue Jiedu decoction (0, 10%, 50%, and 100%) for 24 hours, and the changes in intestinal flora were analyzed and compared between the HBV-ACLF treatment group, the HBV-ACLF non-treatment group, and the HP group at the genus level. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. Results A total of 10 HBV-ACLF patients were enrolled, with 5 in the HBV-ACLF treatment group and 5 in the HBV-ACLF non-treatment group, and there were 15 individuals in the HP group. Compared with the HP group, the HBV-ACLF non-treatment group had significant reductions in the diversity and abundance of intestinal flora. At the phylum level, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes were mainly observed in the samples of the HP group, while the HBV-ACLF non-treatment group had a significant reduction in Bacteroidetes and significant increases in Fusobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Fibrobacteres. At the genus level, compared with the HP group, the HBV-ACLF non-treatment group had significant reductions in Ruminococcus, Blautia, and Eubacterium and significant increases in Parabacteroides, Lactobacillus, Fusobacterium, and Streptococcus. The in vitro fermentation experiment showed that compared with the HBV-ACLF non-treatment group, the HBV-ACLF treatment group had significant increases in Ruminococcus, Lachnospira, Bacteroides, and Genusgenus and significant reductions in Fusobacterium and Proteobacteria (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Liangxue Jiedu decoction can regulate intestinal flora disturbance, restore the diversity of intestinal flora, increase dominant bacteria, and reduce pathogenic bacteria, which may be one of its important mechanisms of action in the treatment of HBV-ACLF. -
