Effect of Liushen Pill (六神丸) on the Constitution and Diversity of Upper Respiratory Tract Flora in Healthy People
(六神丸) on the microecology of upper respiratory tract flora in healthy people based on 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology.
Methods
2
A total of 60 healthy subjects were recruited in Beijing University of Chinese medicine and Capital Medical University from November 2nd to 20th, 2020, and were randomly divided into control group and
Liushen Pill
group with 30 in each group. No medication was given to the control group and the
Liushen Pill
group was treated with 3 pills (sucked) + 7 pills (swallowed) of
Liushen Pill
for 7 days, three times a day.On the 8th day of inclusion or after administration, throat swab samples were collected from the control group or
Liushen Pill
group through 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, to analyze alpha diversity, beta diversity and flora constitution.
Results
2
Compared to those in the control group, the Chao1 index and Shannon index in the
Liushen Pill
group were higher (
P
<0.05). The distribution of the non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) was significantly different between the control group and the
Liushen Pill
group, with NMDS1 stress coefficient=0.1590.
Firmicutes
,
Bacteroidetes
,
Proteobacteria
,
Fusobacteria
,
Actinobacteria
and
Patescibacteria
were the dominant phyla in both groups. Compared to the control group, the relative abundance of
Verrucomicrobia
,
Nitrospirae, Gemmatimonadetes
,
Cyanobacteria
,
Chloroflexi
and
Acidobacteria
in the
Liushen Pill
group significantly increased (
P
<0.05), and the relative abundance of
Proteobacteria
,
Epsilonbacteraeota
and
Bacteroidetes
significantly decreased (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
Liushen Pill
has effects on the diversity, abundance and constituion of the upper respiratory tract flora in healthy people. It is suggested that
Liushen Pill
may have potential effect on preventing and treating certain respiratory diseases.
