Research on the Characteristics and Application of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus X253 as Oral Probiotics
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to study the application of Lactobacillus rhamnosus X253 as oral probiotics by the way of a randomised, double blinded, parallel, placebo-controlled clinical trial, and to eto detect the changes in oral flora of volunteers, and judge the improvement effect of X253 lozenges on the human oral flora.

Detailed Description
population experiments were carried out, and Quantitative Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression level of the target strains in volunteers' oral, High-throughput sequencing technology to detect the changes in oral flora of volunteers, and judge the improvement effect of X253 lozenges on the human oral flora. The effects of X253 lozenges on the volunteers' oral odor, defecation frequency and gum bleeding was surveyed and conuted by questionnaire.

---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Control group who met inclusion criteria, will receive an identical X253 Probiotic lozenge Supplement looking and tasting placebo. |
Biological: Lactobacillus rhamnosus X253
Every two weeks, all volunteers were given the number of probiotic lozenges to be used within two weeks. Edible method: 3 times a day, 1 tablet every time (0.8g/tablet). Put the tablet in the mouth and keep it in the mouth for at least 2-3 minutes before swallowing. Take it once every 30 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Do not brush your teeth, eat foods, or rinse your mouth within half an hour of consumption. Maintain oral hygiene according to the original habits during consumption, and do not use fluoride toothpaste during consumption.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Porphyromonas gingivalis(P.g), Streptococcus mutans(S.m), Streptococcus gordonii(S.g), and Bifidobacterium(Bif) gene expression from tartar samples [week 2 during the intervention]
In a sterile operating table, place the collected dental floss in a 180μL lysozyme (20mg/mL) water bath, use a DNA extraction kit (Tiangen Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) to extract the DNA in the oral sample, and store the DNA sample at -20°C. Quantitative Real-time PCR (Tiangen Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was performed for the Porphyromonas gingivalis(P.g), Streptococcus mutans(S.m), Streptococcus gordonii(S.g), and Bifidobacterium(Bif) contained in the DNA of the tartar sample. The experiment results at 0 weeks were used as the control, and the relative quantitative method which is named 2-∆∆ct method was used to calculate the gene expression level of the target bacteria in the 2th week.
- Porphyromonas gingivalis(P.g), Streptococcus mutans(S.m), Streptococcus gordonii(S.g), and Bifidobacterium(Bif) gene expression from tartar samples [week 4 during the intervention]
In a sterile operating table, place the collected dental floss in a 180μL lysozyme (20mg/mL) water bath, use a DNA extraction kit (Tiangen Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) to extract the DNA in the oral sample, and store the DNA sample at -20°C. Quantitative Real-time PCR (Tiangen Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was performed for the Porphyromonas gingivalis(P.g), Streptococcus mutans(S.m), Streptococcus gordonii(S.g), and Bifidobacterium(Bif) contained in the DNA of the tartar sample. The experiment results at 0 weeks were used as the control, and the relative quantitative method which is named 2-∆∆ct method was used to calculate the gene expression level of the target bacteria in the 4th week.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- changes of oral problems [1 week during the intervention]
Design a questionnaire about the improvement of oral problems, and distribute it to the volunteers every week, then collect and organize the data.
