Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Evidence suggests that alterations in the gut microbiome could play a role in cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of synbiotics on serum paraoxonase 1(PON1), soluble CD163/soluble TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sCD163/sTWEAK), and lipid profile, which are involved in heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure. In this triple-blind randomized clinical trial, 90 eligible patients were included in the study. They were randomly assigned to receive one capsule (500 mg) of synbiotics or a placebo daily for ten weeks. Serum PON1, sCD163/sTWEAK, and lipid profiles were measured at the beginning and end of the study. The data were analyzed by SPSS 24, and the p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Among 90 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 80 completed the study. The primary outcomes showed a small effect on sTWEAK, with an adjusted standard mean difference (SMD) of 0.2. However, no significant changes were observed in sCD163/sTWEAK (SMD: 0.16). Secondary outcomes indicated no changes in PON1, total cholesterol (TC), or LDL-C levels. However, there was an increase in HDL-C levels (adjusted SMD: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.02-0.91) and a decrease in TG and TC/HDL levels (adjusted SMD: - 0.5 and - 0.3, respectively) in the synbiotic group. A favorable effect of synbiotics on sTWEAK, HDL, TG, and TC/HDL of patients with heart failure was observed, but no statistically significant effect was found on sCD163/sTWEAK, PON1, LDL, and TC factors.
心血管疾病是全球范围内主要的死亡原因之一。有证据表明,肠道微生物组的改变可能在心血管疾病中起作用,包括心力衰竭。本研究旨在评估益生菌对血清对氧磷酶 1(PON1)、可溶性 CD163/可溶性肿瘤坏死因子样弱凋亡诱导剂(sCD163/sTWEAK)和血脂谱的影响,这些因素与心力衰竭患者心力衰竭有关。在这项三盲随机临床试验中,纳入了 90 名符合条件的心力衰竭患者。他们被随机分为每天服用益生菌胶囊(500mg)或安慰剂组,共 10 周。在研究开始和结束时测量血清 PON1、sCD163/sTWEAK 和血脂谱。使用 SPSS 24 分析数据,p 值 < 0.05 为差异有统计学意义。在符合纳入标准的 90 名患者中,有 80 名完成了研究。主要结果显示 sTWEAK 有较小的影响,调整后的标准均数差(SMD)为 0.2。然而,sCD163/sTWEAK 没有明显变化(SMD:0.16)。次要结果显示 PON1、总胆固醇(TC)或 LDL-C 水平没有变化。然而,益生菌组的 HDL-C 水平升高(调整后的 SMD:0.46,95%CI:0.02-0.91),TG 和 TC/HDL 水平降低(调整后的 SMD:-0.5 和-0.3)。益生菌对心力衰竭患者 sTWEAK、HDL、TG 和 TC/HDL 有有利影响,但对 sCD163/sTWEAK、PON1、LDL 和 TC 因素没有统计学显著影响。
