On July 28, we will usher in World Hepatitis Day. This special day is not only to commemorate Baruch Bloomberg, the discoverer of the hepatitis B virus, but also a global call to remind us to pay attention to liver health and take positive actions to eliminate hepatitis. This year's theme is "It's time for action", emphasizing the importance of preventing, detecting, and treating hepatitis. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also proposed "eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health hazard by 2030". By that time, the new infection rate of viral hepatitis will be reduced by 90%, the mortality rate will be reduced by 65%, the diagnosis rate will reach 90%, and the treatment rate will be 80%. However, there are still 300 million people suffering from viral hepatitis B and C worldwide, but only 7% of patients receive corresponding treatment.
Causes and effects of hepatitis
Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the liver and can be caused by a variety of factors, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, chemicals, and autoimmunity. Viral hepatitis is the most common type, in which the virus enters the liver and replicates, causing liver cell damage. Alcoholic hepatitis, fatty hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and drug-induced hepatitis are also common types of hepatitis. These diseases not only affect liver function but may also cause serious complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Clinical symptoms of hepatitis
Patients with hepatitis may experience symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, low-grade fever, and jaundice. Pain or discomfort in the liver area is also a common symptom. Understanding these symptoms can help detect hepatitis early and treat it in time.
Probiotics and liver health
In recent years, the role of probiotics in maintaining liver health has received increasing attention. Probiotics affect liver health through multiple mechanisms of action on the gut-liver axis:
1,Reduce intestinal permeability:
Probiotics can reduce intestinal permeability by enhancing the expression of intestinal tight junction proteins, reducing intestinal bacterial translocation, and the production and entry of endotoxins (such as LPS) into the blood circulation, thereby alleviating the inflammatory response of the liver.
2, Regulate the balance of intestinal flora:
Probiotics can increase the diversity and abundance of beneficial flora, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, improving intestinal microecology, and reducing the production of enterogenic endotoxins.
3, Immunomodulatory effect:
Probiotics can regulate the host's immune response, promote Th17/Treg balance, inhibit inflammatory response, reduce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increase the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines.
4, Promote liver repair:
Probiotics can promote hepatocyte regeneration, improve liver function indicators, and have a protective effect on the liver.
Probioway patent solution
Patent endorsement: "A Lactobacillus casei, alcohol-detoxifying probiotic composition and preparation method and application of the composition", "A strain of Lactobacillus helveticus for preventing and treating cholestatic liver disease and its application"
Functional patented strains: Lactobacillus casei PB-LC39, Lactobacillus plantarum HH-LP56, Lactobacillus acidophilus HH-LA26, Lactobacillus helveticus HH-LPH17
Clear mechanism:
① The functional strain can efficiently reduce ammonia and produce acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which helps to improve the liver's detoxification ability and relieve liver damage caused by alcohol poisoning.
② The functional strain can effectively inhibit the accumulation of bile acid in the liver and reduce the damage of cholestasis to the liver.
③ The functional strain can inhibit the increase of transaminase content in serum and improve liver function indicators.
