[0002] Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease, characterized by recurrent colorectal mucosal inflammation, with an increasing incidence rate year by year worldwide. Its clinical symptoms are usually bloody stools and diarrhea, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The pathogenesis of UC is not yet fully understood, mainly including impaired intestinal barrier function, intestinal mucosal inflammatory response, and intestinal flora imbalance. Although biological agents have brought relief effects to the treatment of UC in clinical practice in recent years, the long-term cure rate is still low, and biological drugs are expensive, bringing a huge economic burden to the public health system. Therefore, the development of drugs that are suitable for my country's national conditions and effective in treating UC is crucial for patients and the national health system.

[0003] In animal husbandry, the current clinical prevention and treatment of ulcerative enteritis mostly relies on antibiotics, but the use of antibiotics leads to increased drug resistance and drug residues, which has become a major hidden danger in the dairy farming industry and is also the purpose of the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a fermentation product of Gastrodia elata to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0064] Example 6: This example is an experiment on the effect of the fermentation product of Gastrodia elata on ulcerative enteritis in mice induced by sodium dextran sulfate, as follows:

[0065] Preparation of dextran sulfate sodium-induced mouse ulcerative colitis model: C57 mice (8 weeks old) were given drinking water containing 1.5% DSS for 7 days.

[0066] Grouping: The control group (CON group) was given the same volume of distilled water for one week; the modeling group (DSS group) was given 1.5% DSS drinking water for one week; the 5-aminosalicylic acid group (5-ASA group) was given 1.5% DSS drinking water for one week, and at the same time, 50 mg / kg 5-ASA 200 μL (dissolved in 0.9% NaCl solution) was gavaged for one week; the Gastrodia elata fermentation product group (E.YG group) was given 1.5% DSS drinking water for one week, and at the same time, 200 mg / kg of Gastrodia elata fermentation product 200 μL (dissolved in 0.9% NaCl solution) was gavaged for one week. On the eighth day, the mice were euthanized and colon tissues were taken.

[0067] Visual observation of tissue morphology: Observe the colon morphology among the groups.

[0068] Colon length measurement: The colon length of each group was measured and compared.

[0069] Mouse body weight changes: The body weight of each mouse was weighed and recorded every day.

[0070] Disease index score: Starting from the first day of modeling, DAI score test was performed twice a day. The DAI score details are shown in Table 1:

[0071] Table 1

[0072]

[0073] Detection of the expression level of inflammatory cytokines: The colon tissues of each group were ground into a 10% solution prepared with PBS to prepare tissue homogenate, and the corresponding Elisa kit was used to detect the level changes.

[0074] The above experimental results are as follows Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown. Figure 1 It can be seen that the colon of the mice in the normal group was in good condition, without symptoms such as congestion and edema. However, the colon of the mice in the model group showed obvious symptoms such as edema, congestion, adhesion, etc., and the colon length was significantly lower than that of the normal group. The 5-ASA group and the Gastrodia elata fermentation product experimental group showed significantly less edema, congestion, and adhesion symptoms in the colon than the model group, and the symptoms of the positive control group and the Gastrodia elata fermentation product group were similar. In other words, daily administration of Gastrodia elata fermentation products for one week can relieve ulcerative colitis in mice.

[0075] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the colon tissue structure of the normal control group is intact, the goblet cells are intact and the number is normal. The colon tissue structure of the mice in the model group was severely damaged, the villus structure was messy and damaged, the muscle layer structure was incomplete, and the inflammatory cell infiltration was serious. The intestinal mucosal morphology of the 5-ASA group and the Gastrodia elata fermentation product experimental group was significantly improved, the intestinal villus boundaries were clear, the mucosal morphology was relatively complete, and the number of goblet cells was normal. Daily administration of Gastrodia elata fermentation products for one week can relieve ulcerative enteritis in mice to varying degrees.

[0076] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the goblet cells in the colon of normal mice are rich in content, compact in structure, and neatly arranged, and the outside of the goblet cells are wrapped by a mucus layer. Compared with the normal group, the goblet cells in the enteritis group were severely damaged, the goblet cells in the intestinal crypts were extremely low, and only part of the intestine was protected by the mucus layer. The goblet cells and mucus layer in the 5-ASA group and the Gastrodia elata fermentation product experimental group were similar to those in the control group. Daily administration of Gastrodia elata fermentation products for one week can relieve ulcerative enteritis in mice to varying degrees.

[0077] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the colon length of mice in the positive control group was significantly shorter than that of mice in the normal control group. The colon length of the 5-ASA group and the Gastrodia elata fermentation product experimental group was close to that of the normal control group. Daily administration of Gastrodia elata fermentation products for one week can alleviate ulcerative enteritis in mice to varying degrees.

[0078] Depend on Figure 5It can be seen that compared with the DAI of mice in the normal control group, the colon DAI of mice in the positive control group was significantly increased. The colon DAI of the drug control group was close to that of the normal control group. Daily administration of the fermented product of Gastrodia elata for one week can alleviate ulcerative enteritis in mice to varying degrees.

[0079] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that compared with the mice in the normal control group, the expression level of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β in the modeling group was higher. The expression level of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β in the mice in the Gastrodia elata treatment group was between the control group and the modeling group. The expression level of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β in the drug control group was close to that in the colon of mice in the control group. Giving Gastrodia elata fermentation products daily for one week can relieve ulcerative enteritis in mice to varying degrees.

[0080] Depend on Figure 7 It can be seen that compared with the mice in the normal control group, the expression level of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α in the modeling group was higher. The expression level of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α in the mice treated with the fermented product of Gastrodia elata was between the control group and the modeling group. The expression level of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α in the 5-ASA control group was close to that in the mice colon of the fermented product of Gastrodia elata group. Giving the fermented product of Gastrodia elata to the group daily for one week can relieve ulcerative enteritis in mice to varying degrees.

[0081] In summary, the fermentation product of Gastrodia elata prepared in the embodiment of the present invention has a good effect on enteritis, has no adverse reactions, can alleviate DSS-induced ulcerative enteritis inflammation in mice and repair the colon barrier, and has a good application prospect in preventing, treating or improving ulcerative enteritis.

[0082] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above-mentioned description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification.
