Abstract:
With the continuous improvement of human living standards, people's demand for health has become an important international research hotspot. In recent years, 41.3% of the total incidence of multiple organ failure (MOF) caused by dysfunction of the intestinal screen was found every year. The mortality rate is 62%, which is more than twice that of developed countries. This paper is aimed at observing the microscopic effects of probiotics derived from dairy products using Caco-2 cells on intestinal barrier function. Based on the above background, the purpose of this study was to construct a Caco-2 cell model under microscope to study the effect of probiotics on intestinal barrier function. This study first describes the background knowledge of the integration of modern microscope technology and medical field and the correlation between them. The results showed that the relative adhesion rates of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Streptococcus thermophilus were 4.67 ± 0.07%, 11.53 ± 0.06%, and 18.31 ± 0.08%, respectively, which were lower than those in the normal group. The production of antibacterial substances can inhibit intestinal pathogens and adjust the balance of intestinal flora.
