Syndrome scales were used to evaluate the efficacy in gastrointestinal syndrome. Fecal flora was also measured before and after the treatment. Six bacteria were cultured and the colony forming units were counted in stool. SPSS was used for data analysis. Results： Seventy-four patients finished the follow-up. No side-effect was found. For treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, the effective rate of live combined Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus capsules was 56.8% in the second week, 74.3% in the fourth week and 73.0% in the sixth week. Single symptom was improved, especially in abdominal pain and stool character. The probiotica containing live combined Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus could increase bifidobacterium count （P〈0.01） and lactobacillus count （P〈0.05）; decrease bacteroides count （P〈0.05） and enterococci count （P〈0.01）; No obvious changes were observed in clostridium diffcile colonitis and enterobacteriaceae （P〉0.05）. Conclusion： The result of the study indicated that the administration of live combined Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus improved the symptom of irritable bowel syndrome and that there was a gradual increase of this effect. Thereafter conditions remained stable for 2 weeks. That improvement may be associated with alterations in gastrointestinal flora.展开更多

The traditional Russian type kefir was used as control. The various germ groups and pH values were determined in wk 2, 4 and 6.RESULTS： The number of all microbes increased during the 4-week probiotic treatment. The number of microbes increased 4,3-fold in the control group and 6.8-fold in Biofir-treated group. The probiotic kefir caused multiplication of the probiotic flora, meanwhile the undesired bacteria multiplied in the control group. No significant change of pH values of the faeces was found in both groups.CONCLUSION： The Hungarian probiotic keflr （Biofir） is capable of promoting multiplication of probiotic bacterial flora in the large bowel.展开更多
