Disclosure of Invention
Female reproductive health is closely related to the microbial flora living in the reproductive tract, and a plurality of studies show that flora disturbance in the reproductive tract is a direct cause of bacterial vaginitis, mycotic vaginitis or HPV infection. Modern medicine mainly focuses on taking antibiotics, placing antibiotic suppositories and other medicines for treating genital tract inflammatory diseases. However, antibiotic drug therapy has many problems: firstly, the antibiotics kill pathogenic bacteria, eliminate inflammation, inhibit the growth of probiotics, reduce the abundance of the probiotics, are very unfavorable for maintaining the stable state of the reproductive tract, and greatly increase the risk of repeated infection and relapse; secondly, the purpose of accurate treatment cannot be achieved by taking the medicine, the medicine only can act in a broad-spectrum whole body range, and particularly the liver and kidney functions are easy to be damaged; thirdly, the frequent use of antibiotics is likely to cause drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria, which is also a significant cause of secondary infections.
Although there are individual differences in vaginal flora, most of the dominant species in the female genital tract are lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid to maintain the vaginal pH low, thereby inhibiting the invasion and growth of pathogenic bacteria, and which synthesize hydrogen peroxide to ensure the anaerobic environment in the vagina to prevent the growth of aerobic bacteria. Once the flora structure is destroyed, pathogenic bacteria infect the reproductive tract, causing inflammation and competing with lactobacilli, thereby disrupting reproductive tract microbial homeostasis. At this time, supplementation with lactobacilli to maintain a healthy reproductive tract flora structure is more effective than antibiotic use alone.
Existing methods for preventing and treating osteoporosis include: estrogen replacement therapy, calcitonin, selective estrogen receptor modulators and bisphosphonates. Drugs used to treat and prevent the development of osteoporosis fall into two broad categories, the first being bone resorption inhibiting drugs including calcium agents, vitamin D and active vitamin D, calcitonin, bisphosphonates, estrogens and isoflavones; the second category is osteogenic agents, including fluoride, synthetic steroids, parathyroid hormone, and isoflavones.
Hormone replacement therapy is considered to be the best choice for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and is also the most effective treatment for osteoporosis, however, there is a problem in that hormone replacement therapy may cause other systemic adverse effects. And hormone replacement therapy cannot be applied to patients suffering from breast diseases and those who cannot tolerate the side effects thereof. Selective estrogen receptor modulators this class of drugs has a weak estrogen-like effect in certain organs, while they act as estrogen antagonists in other organs. SERMs prevent osteoporosis and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and endometrial cancer. The medicine is raloxifene, is nonsteroidal benzothiophene, is an agonist of estrogen, can inhibit bone absorption, increase bone density of vertebral column and hip, reduce risk of vertebral fracture by 40-50%, but has poor curative effect compared with estrogen, and is forbidden for premenopausal women. Although the existing drug therapy can treat osteoporosis, the potential risk is high, and side effects are large, such as hormone disorder of a human body.
The invention aims to solve the technical problems that the medicines in the prior art have side effects of different degrees, high recurrence rate or large wound and the like.

The stronger the adhesion capacity, the stronger the colonization capacity of the bacterial strain is proved, the bacterial strain can be more easily remained in the vaginal environment for reproduction, and then the functions of inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, protecting vaginal mucosa and recovering vaginal flora are achieved, and the curative effect of treating or preventing vaginal infection symptoms is achieved.
4. Cell counting
Cleaning the blood counting plate and the cover plate by wiping, and covering the cover plate on the counting plate; then sucking a little cell suspension out, dripping the cell suspension on the edge of the cover plate to fill the suspension between the cover plate and the counting plate, and standing for 3 minutes; finally, microscopic examination is carried out, the total number of the four big grids of the plate is counted, and the line pressing cells are counted only on the left side and the upper side (the cell number/mL is 4 big grids of the total number of the cells/4 multiplied by 10000).
Example 8: rat toxicity test OF Lactobacillus rhamnosus OF44-15Ph10T
The rats selected in this example were SD female rats aged 7 weeks and weighed 250g ± 50g, the breeding environment of the rats was SPF grade, and the experimental animals were divided into 6 groups, 3 groups of gavage groups and 3 groups of vaginal irrigation groups. Each group was fed with 10, 60 total, standard diets.
And (3) gastric lavage group: dividing into 3 groups, and intragastrically administering with different dosages, wherein each rat orally administers 0.5mL fresh bacterial liquid (concentration is 1 × 10 respectively)5、1×109、1×1012CFU/mL), 1 time per day for 3 consecutive days, and rats were kept alive and gained weight from gavage on day 1 to day 7.
Vaginal irrigation group: divided into 3 groups, and the vagina was irrigated with different doses, and each rat was irrigated with 0.2mL of fresh bacterial solution (concentration 1X 10 each)5、1×109、1×1012CFU/mL) 1 time per day for 3 consecutive days, and rats were all healthy and alive and gained weight from lavage day 1 to day 7.
The results of the above experiments show that 0.2X 10 administration to rats5~0.5×1012The CFU/day dose OF Lactobacillus rhamnosus OF44-15Ph10T has no influence on the health OF rats, no toxic reaction is found, and the dose is safe.
Example 9: the ability OF Lactobacillus rhamnosus OF44-15Ph10T to treat genital tract infections in rats
The rat model selected in this example is a rat model infected with gardnerella vaginalis in genital tract, SD female rats are used, the rat is 7 weeks old, the weight is 250g ± 250g, the breeding environment of the rats is SPF grade, and the experimental animals are divided into 2 groups, namely a model group and a probiotic group. Each group was fed with 10, a total of 20, and a standard diet.
The experiment is divided into an adaptation period, a modeling period, a dry prediction period and an observation period. An adaptation period: rats were fed a standard diet for 7 days. The rat false oestrus phenomenon was maintained by subcutaneous injection of 0.5mg of beta-estradiol-3-benzoate three days before molding. Observing and recording whether the vagina of a rat is red and swollen, and overflowing, and whether erythema and particle phenotypic characteristics exist before modeling; a modeling period: the rat vagina is washed by gardnerella vaginalis (purchased from Beijing Beinanna institute of Biotechnology) (PBS bacterial liquid) which is cultured overnight, the rat vagina is continuously washed for 3 days once a day, and whether the vagina is red and swollen, overflow, erythema, particulate matter and other phenotypic characteristics exist or not is observed and recorded on the 4 th day, and the rat which meets the modeling requirement is selected for testing. Dry expect: for a total of 7 days, model group rats were not treated; probiotic group rats use OF44-15Ph10T PBS liquid to wash vagina OF rats, and the total viable bacteria amount is not less than 1 × 108CFU/mL, washing 1 time per day for 7 days. The rats were observed periodically and recorded for redness and swelling of the vagina, fluid discharge, erythema and particulate phenotypic characteristics. And (3) an observation period: 3 days after the end of the intervention, the rats were observed and recorded for redness and swelling of the vagina, discharge, erythema and granular phenotypic characteristics. While observing the phenotype of the rat each time, taking vaginal washing liquid of the rat, and detecting the removal condition of the gardnerella and the permanent planting condition of the lactobacillus gasseri by a quantitative PCR method
The results show that lactobacillus rhamnosus OF44-15Ph10T can colonize the vagina OF rats (fig. 6), while improving the effect OF gardnerella vaginalis infection and inhibiting the recurrence thereof in rats (fig. 7 and table 7). (Table 8).
TABLE 7 vaginal phenotype of rats the results are recorded
Example 10: effect OF Lactobacillus rhamnosus OF44-15Ph10T on mouse bone loss model
The bone loss model used C57BL/6 female mice (purchased from Guangdong provincial animal center) 8 weeks old and weighing 20 + -2 g freely eating and drinking water under SPF environment. The samples were randomly divided into 3 groups of 9-10 samples each.
The first group OF 9 mice was Sham control, Sham operated, skin dissected only and sutured, and the experiment was performed by feeding medium containing the target strain (OF44-15Ph10T) in a proportional amount to body weight ratio;
a second group of 10 mice is an experimental group, an osteoporosis model is caused by the extirpation induction of ovarian organs, a saturated suspension of a target strain is perfused into the stomach, and the feeding amount is in direct proportion to the body weight;
the third group of 10 mice is a negative control group, an osteoporosis model is caused by the extirpation induction of ovarian organs, the culture medium is perfused into the stomach, and the feeding amount is proportional to the weight.
During the experiment, weekly mouse weight data were recorded (table 8); after the experiment, the mice were sacrificed, and the change of the bone-related index was detected using micro-CT (shown in table 9 and fig. 8), and a three-dimensional reconstructed image of the tissue was created (fig. 9).
The results showed no significant difference (p >0.05) between the probiotic group (second group) and the Sham control group (first group); a number of bone related indicators were statistically significantly different (p <0.05) compared to the model group (third group); the results show that the intestinal probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnous OF44-15Ph10T has the effect OF inhibiting bone loss in a mouse model.
