The invention relates to a composite probiotic bacterium microecological preparation and a preparation method thereof. The preparation is prepared by mixing 1.0 to 20 percent of composite microbial bacterium powder, 5.0 to 50 percent of composite oligosaccharide, 30 to 80 percent of auxiliary protective carrier and 0.1 to 0.2 percent of edible essence.

The composite probiotic bacterium microecological preparation has the advantages that beneficial active bacteria and the oligosaccharide promote each other, so that the composite probiotic bacterium microecological preparation has the advantages of obviously improving the microecological environment of the whole intestine and contributing to the digestion, preventing and treating intestine diseases, treating diarrhea, chronic diarrhea, diarrhea which can not be cured by antibiotic, constipation, dyspepsia and abdominal distension which are caused by intestine dysbacteriosis, recovering the intestine flora balance, protecting the liver, reinforcing the functions of detoxication and toxin expulsion of the liver, reinforcing the disease prevention and resistance such as the resistance of human body, and the like.

The present invention relates to characterizing changes in mammalian bacterial gastrointestinal, cutaneous and nasal microbiota associated with antibiotic treatment and various disease conditions (such as asthma, allergy, obesity, metabolic syndrome, gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), eosinophilic esophagitis, gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinomas (GEJAC), infections due to bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Clostridium difficile, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, etc.) and related diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Therapeutic methods of the invention involve the use of live bacterial inoculants that are capable of restoring healthy mammalian bacterial gastrointestinal, skin, and nasal microbiota.

Class A beta-lactamase may be used for reducing side-effects in the intestine associated with antibiotic therapy with a combination of beta-lactam antibiotic and beta-lactamase inhibitor.

A convertible multi-lumen catheter that may be used for hemodialysis or other indications involving infusion and/or withdrawal of fluids from the body. Unlike existing catheters having a set number of lumens which may limit their utility as both short and long-term venous vascular devices, the catheter of the invention allows one or more additional lumens during the acute phase of catheter use with removal of these lumens (i.e. conversion) for more permanent use. A typical example of this would be a triple lumen device for hemodialysis and antibiotic therapy during an acute infection with conversion to a chronic dual lumen hemodialysis catheter after successful treatment of the infection. The lumen is permanently or semi-permanently blocked using a biocompatible plastic obturator that is inserted into the unused lumen and locked and/or glued into place.

The invention discloses antibacterial and antitumor application of exosomes secreted by NK cells (aNK) activated by transmembrane IL-21 and multiple miRNAs contained in the exosomes, and provides a new method for bacterial infection and antitumor treatment. The method has the advantages that 1, the method is different from antibiotic treatment, and exosome antibiosis has lower side effects; 2, effects of antibacterial treatment can be enhanced through joint use; 3, the exosomes can be stored at low temperature, the miRNAs can be artificially synthesized, costs are low and large-scale production can be achieved; 4, the exosomes and the multiple miRNAs have inhibitory effects on a variety of bacteria, and have wider antibacterial spectra; 5, the miRNAs act on a variety of shared signal pathways of tumor cells, can inhibit a variety of tumors, and have a wide range of antitumor application.
