BALB/c mice were divided in groups of non-sensitized or sensitized by oral route to cow's milk or colonized by FM1 [10^7 cfu/mL ofBifidobacterium longum (Bfl) and 10^8 cfu/mL of Streptococcus thermophillus (Stl)] and sensitized by oral route to cow's milk or colonized by FM2 [10^7 cfu/mL of Bfl and 10^7 cfu/mL ofLactobacillusplantarum (LbO)] and sensitized to cow's milk. Blood was sampled and the amount of anti-β-Lactoglobulin (β-Lg) IgG was measured. Mice were sacrificed, fragments of their intestines were isolated to inspect the structural changes of intestinal mucosa. A significant anti-β-Lg response was elicited by oral sensitization in positive control compared to other groups. Inspection of villi structural changes reveal signs of inflammation in challenged group compared with FM1 and FM2 groups, which conserved long villi characteristic of negative controls. The colonization of intestines by BfI-StI and BfI-LbO, and the evaluation of the residual antigenicity of β-Lg in mice sensitized to bovine milk by oral route followed by histological studies, revealed that FM1 and FM2 play protective role and reduce the histological lesions typical of bovine milk allergy.展开更多

METHODS:Articles published between January 1991 and April 2012 comparing antecolic and retrocolic reconstruction for DJ after PPPD were retrieved from the databases of MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, OVID and Cochrane Library Central. The primary outcome of interest was DGE. Either fixed effects model or random effects model was used to assess the pooled effect based on the heterogeneity. RESULTS:Five articles were identified for inclusion:two randomized controlled trials and three non-randomized controlled trials. The meta-analysis revealed that antecolic reconstruction for DJ after PPPD was associated with a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of DGE [odds ratio (OR), 0.06; 95% CI, 0.02-0.17; P < 0.00 001] and intra-operative blood loss [mean difference (MD), -317.68; 95% CI, -416.67 to -218.70; P < 0.00 001]. There was no significant difference between the groups of antecolic and retrocolic reconstruction in operative time (MD, 25.23; 95% CI, -14.37 to 64.83; P = 0.21), postoperative mortality, overall morbidity (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.20-1.46; P = 0.22) and length of postoperative hospital stay (MD, -9.08; 95% CI, -21.28 to 3.11; P = 0.14). CONCLUSION:Antecolic reconstruction for DJ can decrease the DGE rate after PPPD.展开更多
