    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of micro-encapsulated bifidobacteria on gut barrier and bacterial translocation after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 groups: PBS+sham shock group fed with PBS for 7 days and then undergoing sham shock, bifidobacteria+sham shock group fed with bifidobacteria (10(9) cfu/d) for 7 days and then undergoing sham shock, micro-encapsulated bifidobacteria+sham shock group, fed with micro-encapsulated bifidobacteria (10(9) cfu/d) for 7 days and then undergoing sham shock, PBS+hemorrhagic shock group fed with PBS for 7 days and then undergoing hemorrhagic shock, bifidobacteria+shock group fed with bifidobacteria for 7 days and then undergoing hemorrhagic shock, and micro-encapsulated bifidobacteria+shock group, fed with micro-encapsulated bifidobacteria for 7 days and then undergoing hemorrhagic shock. Three hours after resuscitation laparotomy was performed, distal cecum was resected to undergo bacteriological analysis of the cecal content, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), a liver lobe, and the middle part of spleen were resected to undergo bacterial culture for bacterial translocation, and the terminal ileum was resected to observe the villous damage. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the amount of blood loss among the 3 hemorrhagic shock groups. The amounts of aerobes in cecum of the bifidobacteria+shock and micro-encapsulated bifidobacteria+shock groups, especially that of the latter group, were significantly lower than that of the PBS+shock group. The amounts of anaerobes and the amounts of bifidobacteria in cecum of the bifidobacteria+shock group and micro-encapsulated bifidobacteria+shock group, especially those of the latter group, were significantly higher than those of the PBS+shock group. No bacterial translocation to liver was observed in all groups. The magnitudes of total aerobes translocation in spleen of the bifidobacteria+shock and encapsulated bifidobacteria+shock groups were significantly lower than that of the PBS+shock group, however, there were not significant differences in the translocation in the MLN of total aerobes ad bifidobacteria among different groups. The percentage of ileal villous damage of the bifidobacteria+shock and encapsulated bifidobacteria+shock groups were significantly lower than that of the PBS+shock group. CONCLUSION: Bifidobacteria effectively protects the gut barrier, reduces bacterial translocation from the gut after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. And micro-encapsulated Bifidobacteria can enhance those effects further.
