Intestinal mucosal flora of the intestine-kidney remediation process of diarrhea with deficiency kidney-yang syndrome in Sishen Pill treatment: Association with interactions between , Ca-Mg-ATP-ase, and Na-K-ATP-ase.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Sishen Pill on the characteristics of gut mucosal microbiota in diarrhea mice with deficiency kidney-yang syndrome. Fifteen Kunming male mice were randomly divided into Normal control group (C), Model self-healing group (X) and Sishen Pill group (S), with 5 mice/cages. Hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the kidney structure. Serum Na-K-ATP-ase and Ca-Mg-ATP-ase were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Analysis of intestinal mucosal flora using third-generation high-throughput sequencing. The relative abundance results in the three groups revealed that the dominant bacterial genera: , and ; bacterial species: , , , and , and differences in the presence of major microbiota between the X and S groups. A positive correlation between and both Ca-Mg-ATP-ase and Na-K-ATP-ase was found via correlation analysis. Sishen Pill also changed the manufacture of other secondary metabolites, as well as the metabolism of carbohydrates, glycans, energy, lipids, and other amino acids, and xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism. In conclusion, Sishen Pill improved kidney structure, energy metabolism and the diversity and structure of intestinal mucosal flora. In addition, may be a characteristic species of Sishen Pill in treating diarrhea with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome.
