Examination of bacterial translocation
| Group | n | MLN | Liver | PVB | RBT | Log10 TB ± SD |
| Control | 8 | 3/8 | 0/8 | 0/8 | 12.5% (3/24) | 0.5414 ± 0.288 |
| EN | 10 | 4/10 | 2/10 | 3/10 | 30.0% (9/30) | 1.6444 ± 0.349 |
| PN | 9 | 5/9 | 4/9 | 4/9 | 48.15% (13/27)b | 2.3279 ± 0.433b |
| Sep | 8 | 6/8 | 7/8 | 7/8 | 83.33% (20/24)d | 3.2815 ± 0.483d |
Values are expressed as mean ± SE; MLN: Mesenteric lymph node; PVB: Portal venous blood; RBT: Rate of bacterial translocation; TB: Translocated bacteria; 3/8: Numerator rep-resents the positive samples of bacteria culture; denominator represents the number of animals enrolled.
b
P < 0.01 vs Control;
d
P < 0.01 vs control, EN and PN groups; r = 0.979, P = 0.021, P < 0.03, there was a positive correlation of rate of bacterial transloca-tion with the value of Log10 translocated bacteria.
