Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of probiotics technology, specifically to a probiotic strain and its application, and to compositions for the prevention and treatment of childhood diarrhea. Background Technology

[0002] According to data released by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the exclusive breastfeeding rate for infants aged 0-6 months is 27.8% (the international average is 38%), with 30.3% in rural areas and 15.8% in urban areas. In 1998, China's breastfeeding rate was as high as 67%. In recent years, with the widespread dissemination of education promoting the benefits of breastfeeding, the breastfeeding rate among mothers born in the 1990s has been increasing, but it is still far below the 50% breastfeeding rate target set in China's Child Development Program. Numerous studies have shown a significant difference in the risk of diarrheal diseases between breastfed and non-breastfed infants; that is, non-breastfed infants are more prone to diarrheal diseases.

[0003] Diarrhea in children is a group of diseases characterized by diarrhea, caused by multiple pathogens and factors. Its main features are increased frequency and altered stool consistency. Pathogens can include viruses (primarily human rotavirus and other enteroviruses), bacteria (pathogenic Escherichia coli, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, hemorrhagic Escherichia coli, invasive Escherichia coli, as well as Salmonella typhimurium, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.), parasites, and fungi. Extraintestinal infections, intestinal flora imbalance caused by antibiotic abuse, allergies, improper feeding, and climatic factors can also contribute to the disease. Because children's immune systems are not fully developed and they are in a period of physiological immune insufficiency, they are more susceptible to functional intestinal disorders such as diarrhea. Diarrhea is extremely common in childhood, with diarrhea and vomiting being its main clinical manifestations. If children do not receive timely and effective treatment, electrolyte imbalances usually occur, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to propose a probiotic strain and its application, as well as a composition for the prevention and treatment of childhood diarrhea. This composition can effectively prevent, alleviate, and treat childhood diarrhea, and has the advantages of good efficacy, rapid effect, and short treatment cycle, and has broad application prospects.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:

These microspheres are then mixed evenly with the enzymatic hydrolysate obtained in step S1, the aqueous extract obtained in step S2, the ultrafine powder obtained in step S5, and the prebiotic obtained in step S6 to obtain a composition for the prevention and treatment of childhood diarrhea.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S1, the mass ratio of kudzu root and licorice is 5-7:3-5, the solid-liquid ratio of the herbal powder and water is 1:5-10 g / mL, the compound enzyme is cellulase and pectin methyl esterase in a mass ratio of 7-10:5, the amount of the compound enzyme added is 2-3% of the total mass of the system, and the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 45-50℃ for 2-4 hours; in step S2, the mass ratio of solid to water is 10-15:50-70, the heating and boiling extraction time is 1-3 hours, and the operation is repeated 1-2 times; in step S3, the activation culture temperature is 36-38℃ for 18-24 hours, and the bacterial count of the inoculum seed solution is 10. 8 -10 9 cfu / mL.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S4, the mass ratio of solid to water is 20-30:100-120, and the fermentation conditions are 36-38℃, 50-70 r / min, and fermentation for 48-56 h; in step S5, the mesh size of the sieve is 500-1000 mesh, and the mass ratio of the solid powder to montmorillonite powder is 10-12:15-20; in step S6, the mass ratio of fructooligosaccharide to xylooligosaccharide is 7-10:3-5; in step S7, the fermentation product, sodium alginate, and...

[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, the probiotic is a composition of Lactobacillus reuteri FPH2951, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA16, and the inoculation amount of the probiotic seed solution is: 2-3% for Lactobacillus reuteri FPH2951, 0.5-1% for Saccharomyces boulardii, and 1-2% for Lactobacillus acidophilus LA16.

[0022] The present invention further protects a composition for the prevention and treatment of childhood diarrhea prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a Lactobacillus reuteri FPH2951 with high gastric acid resistance and survival rate, which has a good preventive, relieving and therapeutic effect on infantile diarrhea, colic, diarrhea and intestinal disorders. It can secrete beneficial substances to promote the proliferation and colonization of probiotics in the body, inhibit the colonization of harmful bacteria, build a biological barrier on the surface of the gastrointestinal mucosa of the child to prevent the invasion of harmful bacteria, improve the intestinal environment of the child, avoid the continuous reproduction and growth of harmful bacteria, and ultimately improve the state of the gastrointestinal flora of the child, relieve diarrhea symptoms, and has the advantages of good efficacy, rapid effect and short treatment cycle.

[0024] The present invention also provides a composition for the prevention and treatment of childhood diarrhea. Wherein:

[0025] Kudzu root contains puerarin, xyloside, soy isoflavones, β-sitosterol, arachidic acid, and other components, which have antipyretic, antispasmodic, intestinal-constricting, and mildly blood-circulating effects. Licorice contains glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhizin, isoglycyrrhizin, and other components, which have detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, expectorant, antitussive, gastric mucosal-protective, gastric ulcer-treating, antispasmodic, and liver-damaging effects. The combination of these two ingredients effectively reduces fever, improves blood circulation, and protects the gastric mucosa. Enzymatic hydrolysis using compound enzymes (cellulase and pectin methyl esterase) promotes cell wall rupture and the dissolution of active medicinal components, significantly enhancing efficacy. Water extraction further extracts most of the water-soluble components.

[0026] The probiotic composition of this invention can not only break down the cell walls of traditional Chinese medicine through fermentation, promoting the dissolution of active components in kudzu root and licorice and improving efficacy, but also improve the patient's digestive and immune capabilities. During drug use, it can maintain the balance of gastrointestinal flora, improve the intestinal environment, repair the intestinal mucosa, improve clinical diarrhea symptoms, optimize the ability to resist pathogens, control the regeneration of pathogens in the patient's body, eliminate residual bacteria in the body, and shorten the patient's recovery time and disease course.

[0027] Among them, Lactobacillus reuteri FPH2951 has a high survival rate against gastric acid, can secrete beneficial substances to promote the proliferation and colonization of probiotics in the body, inhibit the colonization of harmful bacteria, build a biological barrier on the surface of the gastrointestinal mucosa of the child to prevent the invasion of harmful bacteria, improve the intestinal environment of the child, avoid the continuous reproduction and growth of harmful bacteria, and ultimately improve the status of the gastrointestinal flora of the child and relieve diarrhea symptoms.

[0028] Saccharomyces boulardii powder is a non-pathogenic fungal probiotic that can release large amounts of polyamines in the body, increasing the activity of metabolic enzymes such as α-glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase, delaying the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, preventing pathogenic microorganisms from invading and damaging mucosal epithelial cells, generating short peptide proteins to degrade bacterial toxins, playing a role in resisting pathogenic microorganisms, improving the intestinal microecological environment, and relieving symptoms such as diarrhea in children.

[0029] The addition of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA16 can inhibit the adhesion of harmful bacteria to the intestinal mucosa, while having high resistance to gastric acid, improving the gastrointestinal microecological environment of children, maintaining the stability of the number of gastrointestinal flora, inhibiting the occurrence of inflammation, reducing diarrhea, and improving the immune function disorder of children.

[0030] Lactobacillus reuteri FPH2951 alone has already shown good preventive, alleviating, and therapeutic effects. The synergistic combination of the three probiotics can effectively prevent and reduce infections in patients, improve the gastrointestinal microecological environment of children, inhibit inflammation, reduce diarrhea, and improve immune dysfunction in children.

[0031] Montmorillonite powder can enhance the mucosal coverage of the digestive tract and effectively inhibit viruses, bacteria, and toxins in the digestive tract, thereby increasing the mucosal barrier defense function of the digestive tract in children and promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal function. However, it can easily cause constipation. Therefore, this invention dries and ultrafinely pulverizes the solid residue after fermentation and extraction of traditional Chinese medicine to obtain fine powder, mixes it evenly with montmorillonite powder, and adds it to the composition. This mixture can work synergistically with montmorillonite powder to enhance the mucosal coverage of the digestive tract. At the same time, the fiber of the traditional Chinese medicine can promote intestinal peristalsis, relieve constipation caused by montmorillonite powder, and expel harmful substances fixed by montmorillonite powder from the intestine, thus making the composition safer and more effective.

[0032] Prebiotics are a compound mixture of fructooligosaccharides and xylooligosaccharides. By selectively stimulating the growth and proliferation of probiotic colonies added in this invention, they can reduce the production of inflammatory factors, promote antioxidant responses, improve the gastrointestinal microecological environment of children, maintain a stable number of gastrointestinal flora, reduce diarrhea, and improve the immune function disorders of children.

[0033] After encapsulation, the present invention can resist the gastric acid environment to a certain extent and further increase the content of probiotics directly delivered to the intestines, thereby achieving better prevention, relief and treatment effects. The resulting composition for the prevention and treatment of childhood diarrhea has the advantages of good efficacy, rapid effect and short treatment cycle, and has broad application prospects.

[0152] The therapeutic effect of test example 2 on mice with diarrhea

[0153] 1. Grouping of animals:

[0154] KM mice (20-25g) were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, Example 2-7 groups, and Comparative Examples 1-12 groups after 3 days of acclimatization in the laboratory. Each group consisted of 10 mice, half male and half female, and they were housed separately.

[0155] 2. Model making:

[0156] (1) Preparation of antibiotic mixture: Prepare an antibiotic mixture with a concentration of 65g / L by mixing gentamicin sulfate injection (produced by Yichang Renfu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) and cefadroxil capsules (produced by Suzhou Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). Prepare and use immediately.

[0157] (2) Except for the normal group, the other groups were given 25 mL / (kg·d) of antibiotic mixture by gavage, and the normal group was given an equal amount of sterile water twice a day for 5 days. The model was successful when the mice showed lethargy, loose and wet feces and unclean perianal area.

[0158] 3. Treatment methods:

[0159] After successful modeling, the oral administration of antibiotic mixture was stopped. Based on the effective dose per surface area of ​​mice, mice in Examples 2-7 and Comparative Examples 1-12 were administered the corresponding prepared bacterial powder or composition by oral administration at 1 g / (mouse·day). Mice in the normal group and model group were given an equal amount of sterile water, twice a day, for 7 days.

[0160] 4. Stool consistency (dryness / wetness)

[0161] The stains formed on the filter paper by fecal contamination are classified into four levels: Level 1 is a stain with a diameter < 1.0 cm, indicated by "+"; Level 2 is a stain with a diameter of 1.0 to 1.9 cm, indicated by "++"; Level 3 is a stain with a diameter of 2.0 to 3.0 cm, indicated by "+++"; and Level 4 is a stain with a diameter > 3.0 cm, indicated by "++++".

[0162] The results are shown in Table 2.

[0163] Table 2

[0164]

[0165]

[0166] Note: "+" indicates the degree of dryness of the stool; the more "+", the higher the moisture content.

[0167] As shown in the table above, the moisture content of mouse feces was significantly reduced after treatment with the bacterial powder prepared in Example 2 of this invention or the composition for preventing and treating infantile diarrhea prepared in Examples 3-5.

[0168] 5. Diarrhea rate

[0169] According to *Pharmacological Experimental Methodology* (4th Edition), the diarrhea rate of mice was determined on days 0, 3, and 7 of the experiment. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0170] Diarrhea rate = (Number of animals with diarrhea / Total number of animals in the group) × 100%

[0171] The results are shown in Table 3.

[0172] Table 3

[0173]

[0174]

[0175] As shown in the table above, the diarrhea rate in mice was significantly reduced after treatment with the bacterial powder prepared in Example 2 of this invention or the compositions for preventing and treating childhood diarrhea prepared in Examples 3-5.

[0176] 6. Inflammatory factor markers

[0177] Twenty-four hours after the last administration, blood was collected from the eyeballs of mice in each group and serum was separated. After the mice were sacrificed, a portion of the small intestine was removed, and serum from each group was collected and small intestinal homogenate was prepared. The levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 in the serum and small intestinal tissue homogenate supernatant were measured according to the ELISA kit instructions.

[0178] The results are shown in Table 4.

[0179] Table 4

[0180]

[0181]

[0182] Note: * indicates P < 0.05 compared to the normal group; # indicates P < 0.05 compared to the model group.

[0183] As shown in the table above, after treatment with the bacterial powder prepared in Example 2 of this invention or the composition for preventing and treating infantile diarrhea prepared in Examples 3-5, the inflammatory factors in the serum and intestinal tissue of mice decreased significantly.

[0184] Compared to Example 5, Examples 6 and 7 use a single cellulase or pectinase as the complex enzyme. Comparative Example 3, compared to Example 5, involves enzymatic hydrolysis in step S1. The diarrhea rate decreased, stool moisture increased after treatment, and inflammatory factor indicators improved. This invention, through enzymatic hydrolysis using a complex enzyme (cellulase and pectinase), promotes cell wall rupture and the dissolution of active components of traditional Chinese medicine, thereby significantly improving efficacy. After water extraction, most of the water-soluble components are extracted.

[0185] Compared with Example 5, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 did not include kudzu root or licorice in step S1. The diarrhea rate decreased, but stool moisture increased and inflammatory factor indicators improved after treatment. Kudzu root contains puerarin, xyloside, soy isoflavones, β-sitosterol, arachidic acid, and other components, possessing antipyretic, antispasmodic, intestinal-constricting, and mildly blood circulation-improving effects. Licorice contains glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhizin, isoglycyrrhizin, and other components, possessing detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, expectorant, antitussive, gastric mucosal-protective, gastric ulcer-treating, antispasmodic, and liver-damaging effects. The combination of these two ingredients effectively reduces fever, improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and protects the gastric mucosa.

[0186] Compared to Example 5, Comparative Example 4 did not perform step S2, and no water extract was added in step S7. The diarrhea rate decreased, but stool moisture increased after treatment, and inflammatory factor indicators improved. The water extracts of kudzu root and licorice contain abundant active substances that effectively reduce fever, improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and protect the gastric mucosa.

[0187] Compared with Example 5, Comparative Examples 5 and 6 did not involve inoculation with *Lactobacillus reuteri* FPH2951 or *Lactobacillus acidophilus* LA16 in step S4. Comparative Example 7, compared with Example 5, did not undergo fermentation in step S4, and did not add fermentation product microspheres in step S7. The diarrhea rate decreased, but stool moisture increased after treatment, and inflammatory factor indicators improved. The probiotic composition of this invention not only breaks down the cell walls of traditional Chinese medicines through fermentation, promoting the dissolution of active components in kudzu root and licorice, thus improving efficacy, but also enhances the patient's digestive and immune capabilities. During drug use, it can maintain the balance of intestinal flora, improve the intestinal environment, repair the intestinal mucosa, improve clinical diarrhea symptoms, optimize the ability to resist pathogens, control the regeneration of pathogens in the patient's body, eliminate residual bacteria, and shorten the patient's recovery time and disease duration. Among them, *Lactobacillus reuteri* FPH2951 has a high survival rate against gastric acid, can secrete beneficial substances to promote the proliferation and colonization of probiotics in the body, inhibit the colonization of harmful bacteria, build a biological barrier on the surface of the gastrointestinal mucosa of the child to prevent the invasion of harmful bacteria, improve the intestinal environment of the child, avoid the continuous reproduction and growth of harmful bacteria, and ultimately improve the state of the intestinal flora of the child and relieve diarrhea symptoms. *Saccharomyces boulardii* powder is a non-pathogenic fungal microecological probiotic that can release a large amount of polyamines in the body, increase the activity of metabolic enzymes such as α-glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase, delay the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, prevent pathogenic microorganisms from invading and damaging mucosal epithelial cells, generate short peptide proteins to degrade bacterial toxins, play a role in resisting pathogenic microorganisms, improve the intestinal microecological environment, and relieve symptoms such as diarrhea in the child. The addition of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA16 can inhibit the adhesion of harmful bacteria to the intestinal mucosa, while also exhibiting high resistance to gastric acid, improving the gastrointestinal microecological environment of children, maintaining a stable number of intestinal flora, inhibiting inflammation, reducing diarrhea, and improving immune dysfunction in children. Lactobacillus reuteri FPH2951 alone has already shown good preventive, alleviating, and therapeutic effects. The synergistic combination of the three probiotics can effectively prevent and reduce infections in patients, improve the gastrointestinal microecological environment of children, inhibit inflammation, reduce diarrhea, and improve immune dysfunction in children.

[0188] Compared with Example 5, Comparative Examples 8 and 9 did not add solid fine powder or montmorillonite powder in step S5. Compared with Example 5, Comparative Example 10 did not add ultrafine powder in step S7. The diarrhea rate decreased, and the stool moisture increased after treatment. Montmorillonite powder has the effect of strengthening the mucosal coverage of the digestive tract and can effectively inhibit viruses, bacteria and toxins in the digestive tract, thereby increasing the mucosal barrier defense function of the digestive tract in children and promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal function. However, it can easily cause constipation and other problems. Therefore, this invention dries the solid residue after fermentation and extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, ultrafinely pulverizes it to obtain fine powder of traditional Chinese medicine, mixes it evenly with montmorillonite powder, and adds it to the composition. It can work synergistically with montmorillonite powder to strengthen the mucosal coverage of the digestive tract. At the same time, the fiber of traditional Chinese medicine can promote intestinal peristalsis, relieve constipation caused by montmorillonite powder, and expel harmful substances fixed by montmorillonite powder from the intestine, thereby making the composition safer and more effective.

[0189] Compared to Example 5, Comparative Example 11 did not include prebiotics in step S7. The diarrhea rate decreased, but stool moisture increased after treatment, and inflammatory factor indicators rose. The prebiotics are a mixture of fructooligosaccharides and xylooligosaccharides. By selectively stimulating the growth and proliferation of the probiotic colonies added in this invention, they reduce the production of inflammatory factors, promote antioxidant responses, improve the gastrointestinal microecological environment of the children, maintain a stable number of intestinal flora, reduce diarrhea, and improve the children's immune dysfunction.

[0190] Compared to Example 5, Comparative Example 12 did not involve encapsulation in step S7; the components were simply mixed. The diarrhea rate decreased, but stool moisture increased after treatment, and inflammatory factor indicators improved. The fermentation product of this invention, after encapsulation, can resist the gastric acid environment to a certain extent, further increasing the content of probiotics directly delivered to the intestines, thereby achieving better preventative, alleviating, and therapeutic effects. The resulting composition for preventing and treating childhood diarrhea has advantages such as good efficacy, rapid onset of action, and short treatment cycle, and has broad application prospects.

[0191] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
