Abstract

Objective To investigate the influence of live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus powder assisted with nasal jejunum nutrition on laboratory index, complication rate and economical efficiency in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Fifty patients with SAP were divided into treatment group and control group by random draw method with 25 cases each. The patients of 2 groups received conventional therapy of SAP and nasal jejunum nutrition, and the patients in treatment group were treated with the above treatment combined with live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus powder. The laboratory indexes, gastrointestinal function score, complications, hospitalization time and hospitalization expenses were compared between 2 groups. Results The white blood cell, amylase, lipase, C reactive protein, interleukin (IL) - 8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) - α, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and gastrointestinal function score after treatment in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group: (5.9 ± 2.1) × 109/L vs. (8.4 ± 3.1) × 109/L, (210.4 ± 47.6) U/L vs. (271.9 ± 82.2) U/L, (205.2 ± 22.3) U/L vs. (249.3 ± 34.7) U/L, (14.7 ± 0.4) mg/L vs. (35.1 ± 0.8) mg/L, (16.0 ± 4.8) μg/L vs. (36.5 ± 12.9) μg/L, (21.7 ± 5.6) ng/L vs. (43.4 ± 9.5) ng/L, (212.5 ± 95.4) U/L vs. (284.0 ± 124.6) U/L and (0.81 ± 0.24) scores vs. (1.37 ± 0.36) scores, and the total incidence of complications, hospitalization time and hospitalization expenses were significantly lower than that in control group: 12.0% (3/25) vs. 64.0% (16/25), (18.72 ± 1.90) d vs. (21.13 ± 2.35) d and (4.48 ± 0.55) ×104 yuan vs. (4.73 ± 0.78) × 104 yuan. There were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus powder assisted with nasal jejunum nutrition in the treatment of SAP patients can efficiently improve the laboratory indexes, promote gastrointestinal function recovery, decrease the risk of complications and reduce the economic burden. Key words: Pancreatitis; Enteral nutrition; Live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus powder
