The probiotics administration for surgery/anesthesia stress-induced and perioperative cefazolin-induced inflammatory response and barrier permeability, respectively. (A,E) PCR: Surgery/anesthesia stress decreased the level of ZO-1 in the colon (q = 11.99, p < 0.0001) and hippocampus (q = 5.474, p = 0.0057) at 1 week, while probiotics could recover these decreases (ZO-1 in the hippocampus, q = 4.521, p = 0.0281; ZO-1 in the colon, q = 8.955, p < 0.0001); at 3 weeks after surgery, surgery + cefazolin group showed a decreasing level of ZO-1 in the colon (q = 5.874, p = 0.0028) and hippocampus (q = 7.139, p = 0.0003), while probiotics could increase these decreases of ZO-1 in the colon (q = 5.156, p = 0.0098) and hippocampus (q = 7.391, p = 0.0002; n = 6, ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). (B–D) PCR: Surgery/anesthesia stress increased the level of NLRP3 (q = 6.262, p = 0.0014), IL-1β (q = 5.299, p = 0.0077), IL-18 (q = 4.343, p = 0.0372) in the colon at 1 week, while probiotics could recover some decreases (NLRP3, q = 5.434, p = 0.0061; IL-1β, q = 4.389, p = 0.0346); at 3 weeks after surgery, surgery + cefazolin group showed an increasing level of NLRP3 (q = 14.83, p < 0.0001), IL-1β (q = 10.37, p < 0.0001), IL-18 (q = 6.934, p = 0.0004) in the colon, while probiotics could decrease these increases (NLRP3, q = 11.87, p < 0.0001; IL-1β, q = 7.807, p < 0.0001; IL-18, q = 6.224, p = 0.0015; n = 6, ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). (E–H) PCR: Surgery/anesthesia stress increased the level of NLRP3(q = 7.443, p = 0.0002), IL-1β (q = 6.187, p = 0.0016), IL-18 (q = 18.49, p < 0.0001) in the hippocampus at 1 week, while probiotics could recover some decreases (NLRP3, q = 6.557, p = 0.0008; IL-1β, q = 6.060, p = 0.002; IL-18, q = 15.65, p < 0.0001); at 3 weeks after surgery, surgery + cefazolin group showed an increasing level of NLRP3 (q = 11.83, p < 0.0001), IL-1β (q = 12.87, p < 0.0001), IL-18 (q = 9.592, p < 0.0001) in the hippocampus, while probiotics could decrease these increases (NLRP3, q = 9.682, p < 0.0001; IL-1β, q = 9.878, p < 0.0001; IL-18, q = 8.299, p < 0.0001; n = 6, ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). *Compared with Grp CTL, p < 0.05; #compared with Grp S, p < 0.05; &compared with Grp SC, p < 0.05; ^compared with 3 weeks, p < 0.05.
