摘要: 目的 探索芪地通便方是否通过肠道菌群起到治疗慢传输型便秘(slow transit constipation,STC)的作用,并研究芪地通便方对STC小鼠肠道菌群的影响。方法 实验1将25只BALB/c小鼠分为5组,除空白组外盐酸洛哌丁胺(10 mg/kg)灌胃14 d造模,第15~28天,抗生素组予抗生素混合液自由饮,中药组予芪地通便方(18.906 g/kg)灌胃,中药+抗生素组予芪地通便方灌胃+抗生素混合液自由饮用。通过小鼠一般情况、体重、粪便含水率与数量、小肠推进率、结肠组织学和粪便DNA含量情况评价芪地通便方的疗效以及是否通过肠道菌群发挥作用。实验2将20只BALB/c小鼠分为4组,除空白组外盐酸洛哌丁胺(10 mg/kg)灌胃14 d造模,随后予芪地通便方(18.906 g/kg)和阳性药物乳果糖(3 mg/kg)灌胃干预14 d。通过16S rDNA基因测序探究小鼠肠道菌群的变化。结果 实验1发现抗生素组粪便DNA含量明显降低(P<0.05),证实本研究采用的抗生素混合液方法可有效消耗肠道菌群,成功建立肠道伪无菌小鼠。与模型组比较,中药组粪便含水率与数量、小肠推进率显著提高(P<0.05),而中药+抗生素组在以上2个方面差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),中药组和中药+抗生素组的疗效形成鲜明对比,反向验证了芪地通便方依赖于肠道菌群的存在从而达到治疗STC的作用。实验2发现芪地通便方能够改善STC小鼠的肠道菌群多样性及结构,尤其是能降低厚壁菌门,提高拟杆菌门丰度,降低厚壁菌门/拟杆菌门的比例。结论 芪地通便方治疗STC的疗效依赖于肠道菌群的存在,且该方可以调节STC小鼠肠道菌群。Abstract: Objective To explore whether Qidi Tongbian Prescription plays a role in the treatment of slow transit constipation(STC) through the presence of intestinal flora and to study the effect of Qidi Tongbian Prescription on intestinal flora of STC mice.Methods In experiment 1, 25 BALB/c mice were divided into 5 groups. Except the blank group, loperamide hydrochloride(10 mg/kg) was given intragastric administration for 14 days to establish the model. The antibiotic group was given a free drink of antibiotic mixture, the Chinese medicine group was given a Qidi Tongbian Prescription(18.906 g/kg) by gavage, and the Chinese medicine+antibiotics group was given a Qidi Tongbian Prescription by gavage + free drink of antibiotic mixture. The general condition, body weight, fecal moisture content and quantity, small intestinal propulsion rate, colon histology, and fecal DNA content of mice were used to evaluate the efficacy of Qidi Tongbian Prescription and whether it depended on the existence of intestinal flora. In experiment 2, 20 BALB/c mice were divided into 4 groups. Except for the blank group, loperamide hydrochloride(10 mg/kg) was administrated by gavage for 14 days to establish an STC mouse model, and then Qidi Tongbian Prescription(18.906 g/kg) and positive drug lactulose(3 mg/kg) were administrated by gavage for 14 days. The changes in intestinal flora in mice were investigated by 16S rDNA gene sequencing.Results In experiment 1, it was found that fecal DNA content in the antibiotic group was significantly decreased(P < 0.05), which confirmed that the antibiotic mixture method adopted in this study could effectively consume intestinal flora and successfully establish intestinal pseudo-aseptic mice.Compared with the model group, fecal moisture content, quantity, and small intestinal propulsion rate of the Qidi Tongbian Prescription group were significantly increased(P < 0.05), while there was no statistical difference in the above two aspects of Qidi Tongbian Prescription + antibiotic group(P > 0.05). The effect of the two groups was in stark contrast, which inversely verified that Qidi Tongbian Prescription was dependent on the presence of intestinal flora to treat STC. In experiment 2, it was found that Qidi Tongbian Prescription could improve the intestinal flora diversity and structure of STC mice, especially by reducing firmicutes, increasing the abundance of Bacteroides, and reducing the ratio of firmicutes to Bacteroides.Conclusion The effects of Qidi Tongbian Prescription on STC depended on the presence of intestinal flora, and it could regulate the intestinal flora of STC mice.
