[0002] Probiotics, as a kind of beneficial active microorganisms, play an important role in maintaining intestinal health, enhancing immune barrier and regulating immune function. Lactobacillus rhamnosus is one of the most widely studied probiotics. However, there are two key technical bottlenecks in the practical application of traditional oral probiotic preparations. First, live bacteria are easily inactivated when passing through the gastric acid environment, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of live bacteria reaching the intestine and affecting the exertion of their efficacy. Second, conventional dosage forms (such as ordinary freeze-dried powder or capsules) are difficult to achieve effective delivery and release of active bacteria to specific intestinal environments or local pathological sites.
[0003] In the prior art, although some embedding techniques have been used to improve the gastric acid tolerance of probiotics, the protection effect and precision of intestinal targeted release still need to be improved. In addition, it is still a challenge to apply probiotics in a localized and high-activity form, and there is a lack of effective dosage form support. In terms of functional application, although some probiotic strains have been reported to have anti-inflammatory potential, the specific mechanism of action, especially the regulation of key immune signaling pathways (such as the STING / TBK1 / RELA pathway), is still unclear and needs further research and more targeted strain development.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a new probiotic strain with a clear efficacy mechanism and a high-efficiency targeted delivery system that can effectively overcome the above technical bottlenecks. SUMMARY

[0029] Example 2: Preparation and performance evaluation of double-layer polysaccharide hydrogel (DPH) composition.
[0030] 1. Preparation of DPH composition: YDJ-05 strain was cultured as in Example 1, and the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation.
[0031] Inner layer preparation: the bacterial cells were mixed with a 2% (w / v) carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution, and a bacterial cell-containing microcapsule embryo was prepared by emulsification.
[0032] Outer layer coating: the microcapsule embryo was suspended in a solution containing 1.5% (w / v) oxidized sodium alginate (DAA) and 1% (w / v) carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and a pH-responsive shell was formed by ionic crosslinking to obtain DPH-embedded probiotic microspheres.
[0033] 2. Gastric acid protection performance test: DPH microspheres and naked YDJ-05 bacteria were placed in simulated gastric fluid with a pH of 2.0, and shaken at 37°C for 2 hours. The results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1:
[0034] DPH embedding significantly improved the survival rate of bacterial cells in a gastric acid environment (p<0.01).
[0035] 3. Intestinal targeting release test: the samples treated with gastric juice were transferred to simulated intestinal fluid with a pH of 7.0. The DPH-embedded group released 92.5% of the active probiotic bacteria within 6 hours, showing good intestinal targeting release characteristics.
[0036] Example 3: Preparation of fiber dressing loaded with YDJ-05.
[0037] 1. Dressing preparation: The YDJ-05 bacterial cells obtained in Example 1 were mixed with agarose solution to prepare agarose microcapsules. Subsequently, the microcapsules were blended with a hydrophobic solution of polylactic acid (PLA) and prepared into a fiber dressing using microchip electrospinning technology.
[0038] 2. Viable bacterial load determination: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation showed that the probiotics were evenly distributed in the fibrous matrix. The viable bacterial load of the dressing, determined by plate counting, reached 3.5 × 10⁻⁶. -6 CFU / cm 2 .
[0039] 3. Antibacterial activity evaluation: The inhibition zone method was used. The dressing sample was applied to a dressing coated with Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus). S. aureus ) or E. coli ( E. coli The dressing was incubated on agar plates at 37°C for 24 hours. The results showed that the dressing produced significant inhibition zones (12.3 mm and 10.1 mm in diameter, respectively) against both common wound pathogens, indicating that it has sustained antibacterial activity.
[0040] Example 4: The therapeutic effect of YDJ-05 on DSS-induced colitis in mice.
[0041] 1. Model Establishment and Grouping: An acute colitis model was established in C57BL / 6 mice by inducing sodium dextran sulfate (DSS). Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8): normal control group, DSS model group, YDJ-05 common probiotic powder intervention group, and YDJ-05 DPH composition intervention group.
[0042] 2. Intervention regimen: The intervention group was given 1.0×10⁹ CFU of YDJ-05 (bacterial powder or DPH combination) by gavage daily for 7 days.
[0043] 3. Evaluation of Effects: Disease Activity Index: Compared with the model group, both YDJ-05 intervention groups significantly reduced the disease activity index. Among them, the DPH combination group showed the most significant improvement (p<0.01).
[0044] Colon length: The colon length of mice in the model group was significantly shortened. After intervention with YDJ-05 DPH composition, the colon length was close to that of the normal group and significantly longer than that of the model group and the ordinary bacterial powder group (p<0.05).
[0045] Inflammatory factor levels: ELISA kits were used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors in colon tissue homogenate. The results showed that, compared with the model group, the YDJ-05 DPH composition could significantly up-regulate the expression of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 (increased by about 2.1 times), and significantly reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 (reduced by 58.3% and 49.7%, respectively). Western Blotting analysis further confirmed that YDJ-05 activated the STING / TBK1 / RELA signaling pathway in the colon tissue.
[0046] Intestinal flora analysis: 16S rRNA sequencing was performed on the feces of mice. The results showed that YDJ-05 intervention reshaped the intestinal flora structure, increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus, and reduced the abundance of conditionally pathogenic bacteria associated with inflammation.
[0047] Example 5: Regulation of intestinal barrier function by YDJ-05 In the animal experiment of Example 4, the colon tissue of the mice was also taken for pathological examination. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of tight junction proteins (such as ZO-1 and Occludin) in the intestinal mucosa of mice in the YDJ-05 DPH composition intervention group was significantly higher than that in the model group and the ordinary bacteria powder group, indicating that YDJ-05 helps to enhance the physical barrier function of the intestinal epithelium. The data in the above examples fully show that the Rhamnosus casei YDJ-05 and the targeted delivery composition provided by the present application have significant and excellent effects in improving the gastric acid tolerance of the bacterial body, achieving precise release in the intestine, relieving intestinal inflammation, regulating the flora, and enhancing the barrier function.
