Abstract
Objective
To analyze the changes in nutritional status, inflammatory response and cellular immune status of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients who received radiotherapy under GMB intervention and to clarify the effect of GMB intervention on HCC.
Methods
Ninety-two patients with HCC receiving radiotherapy were randomized into study and observation groups, 46 in each group. The control group used conventional radiotherapy, and the study group used the gut microbiota intervention. The gut microbiota before and after radiotherapy, and the liver function, clinical efficacy, inflammatory response, cellular immunity, and nutritional status before and after treatment were compared.
Results
Compared with the control group, the number of lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium increased significantly, the clinical efficacy was significantly enhanced, the liver function, cellular immunity and nutritional status were significantly improved, and the inflammatory response was significantly reduced, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
gut microbiota intervention can improve the effect of radiotherapy and improve liver function in patients, and the mechanism is related to regulating cellular immune function of patients and inhibiting inflammatory response in patients.
