Lactobacillus plantarum 24-7 improves postoperative bloating and hard stools by modulating intestinal microbiota in patients with congenital heart disease: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

L. plantarum reduced symptoms of postoperative bloating and hard stools, decreased neutrophil counts, and increased lymphocyte counts in CHD patients. L. plantarum modulates the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota in CHD patients.

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis LPL-RH improves postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms and nutrition indexes by regulating the gut microbiota in patients with valvular heart disease: a randomized controlled trial

“…Probiotics, which are live microorganisms known for their health-promoting benefits, such as improving microbiome disorder, reducing gastrointestinal symptoms, inhibiting inflammation, and enhancing immunity, have garnered significant attention for addressing the abovementioned problems. 16,17 Cao et al reported that administering probiotics following gastrectomy could improve postoperative complications and facilitate the patient's early recovery through remodeling the disturbed gut microbiota. 18 Bifidobacterium , as a significant member of probiotics and a Gram-positive bacillary entity necessitating anaerobic conditions, manifests a spectrum of functionalities, including reducing inflammation, modulating immunity, protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier, maintaining intestinal microbiota homeostasis, and improving gastrointestinal symptoms.…”
