Effect of supplementing heart spleen method combined with Bifidobacterium triplet live bacteria on intestinal flora in postpartum depression patients with two deficiency of heart spleen
Objective To analyze the effects of supplementing heart spleen method combined with Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria on intestinal flora in postpartum depression patients with heart spleen two deficiency.Methods 95 postpartum depression patients with heart and spleen deficiency admitted to the 908th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the People's Liberation Army of China from July 2020 to July 2022 were selected as the research subjects.Divided into groups A,B,and C according to the random number table method,group A were treated with Shenqi Jieyu formula granules,group B was treated with Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria,and group C was treated with Shenqi Jieyu formula granules combined with Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria.The gut microbiota,degree of depression,neurotransmitters,and sex hormone levels of patients in each group were detected.Results Compared with before treatment,the levels of bifidobacteria,Lactobacillus,serotonin(5-HT),noradrenaline(NE),dopamine(DA),γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA),estradiol(E2)in each group of patients increased after treatment,Escherichia coli,Enterococcus,progesterone(P),Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale(EPDS),and Depression Self-rating Scale(SDS)decreased(P<0.05).Compared with group A and group B,the patients in the group C had higher levels of Bifidobacterium,Lactobacillus,5-HT,NE,DA,GABA,E2,and lower levels of Escherichia coli,Enterococcus,P,EPDS,and SDS scores after treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of postpartum depression patients with deficiency of heart and spleen by supplementing heart and spleen method combined with Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria can lead to the improvement of intestinal flora and sex hormones,reduce the depression score of patients,improve the levels of neurotransmitters,and have better effects in clinical use.
