Objective To explore the effect of different nutrition on the immune function of patients with colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 640 colorectal cancer patients were randomized into the enteral nutrition and peripheral nutrition groups. The peripheral venous blood was sampled before operation and on the postoperative days 1 and 7 to determine the serum levels of IgG, IgA, IgM, the percentage of T lymph cell subgroups CD3, CD4, CD4/CD8 and CRP, PGE, α- antitrypsin etc. The patient’s general condition, side-effects, and complications were observed intimately after surgery. Results Compared with the control group, the IgG, IgA, IgM, CD3, CD4,CD4/CD8 levels of the trial group on postoperative day 7 were higher. But the levels of CRP, PGE, α- antitrypsin were decreased. Hospitalization time and anal exsufflation time were shorter as well. There was no significant difference in either the general conditions or complications between the two groups. Conclusion Application of enteral nutrition after colorectal cancer surgery is safe, ,effective, and can improve the patient’s immune function and prognosis.
Objective To study the effect of indirect calorimetry-guided nutritional support on energy metabolism, cellular immunity and oxidative stress in patients with colorectal cancer after laparoscopic surgery. Methods A total of 96 patients with colorectal cancer after laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected and randomly divided into the control group (used the formula prediction method to guide enteral nutrition support, n=48) and the observation group (used indirect calorimetry to guide enteral nutrition support, n=48). The target resting energy expenditure (REE) value and nutritional support energy intake were compared between the two groups. The cellular immune indexes (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+) and oxidative stress indexes [serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), the changes of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)], and the changes of REE at different time points (1 day before operation and 1, 2 and 3 days after operation) of the two groups were compared. The incidence of complications in the two groups were observed. Results The target REE value of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05), and there was no significant difference in the enteral energy intake and parenteral energy intake compared with the control group (P＞0.05). After treatment, CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and CD8+ was higher than before treatment (P<0.05). The levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group after treatment were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) , while the level of CD8+ in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of SOD and GSH-Px in the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the levels of MDA were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). The levels of GSH-Px and SOD in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the level of MDA in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the REE value between the two groups at 1 day before operation (P>0.05); compared with the 1 day before operation, the REE values of the two groups at 1, 2, and 3 days after operation were significantly increased, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups at each time point (P<0.05), but the REE value at 3 days after operation was significantly lower than that at 1 and 2 days after operation (P<0.05). The REE values in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at 1, 2 and 3 days after operation (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was 6.25%, which was lower than 20.83% in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Enteral nutrition support guided by indirect calorimetry in colorectal cancer patients after laparoscopic surgery can help reduce postoperative energy consumption, improve cellular immune function and oxidative stress response, and reduce the risk of postoperative complications, which is worthy of promotion.
ObejectiveTo summarize the research progress of risk factors contributing to postoperative pulmonary infection in gastric cancer, so as to provide reference for medical decision-makers and clinical practitioners to effectively control the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection in gastric cancer, ensure medical safety and improve the quality of life of patients. MethodThe researches at home and abroad on the factors contributing to pulmonary infection after gastric cancer surgery in recent years were reviewed and analyzed. ResultsThere was currently no uniform diagnostic standard for pulmonary infection. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection for gastric cancer varied in the different countries and regions. The pathogenic bacteria that caused postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer was mainly gram-negative bacteria, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter boulardii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The patient’s age, history of smoking, preoperative pulmonary function, preoperative laboratory indicators, preoperative comorbidities, preoperative nutritional status, preoperative weakness, anesthesia, tumor location, surgical modality, duration of surgery, blood transfusion, indwelling gastrointestinal decompression tube, wound pain, and so on were possible factors associated with postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer. ConclusionsThe incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection for gastric cancer is not promising. Based on the recognition of related factors, it is proposed that it is necessary to develop a risk prediction model for postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer to identify high-risk patients. In addition to the conventional intervention strategy, taking the pathogenesis as the breakthrough, finding the key factors that lead to the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary infection of gastric cancer is the fundamental way to reduce its occurrence.
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between readiness for hospital discharge and short-term quality of life among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients following enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) mode.MethodsSurveys of 127 CRC patients following ERAS mode were conducted in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and EORTC QLQ-C30 Scale were issued at the discharge and 1 month after the operation, respectively.ResultsThe total score of RHDS was 149.43±33.25. The score of global quality of life was 66.80±18.84. Correlation analysis showed that the total score of RHDS was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life (r=0.220, P=0.013), and negatively correlated with the scores of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, loss of appetite (r=–0.304, P=0.001; r=–0.189, P=0.033; r=–0.257, P=0.004; r=–0.254, P=0.004). The score of personal status dimension were positively correlated with the score of global quality of life and emotional function (r=0.213, P=0.016; r=0.197, P=0.027), and negatively correlated with scores of fatigue, pain and insomnia (r=–0.311, P=0.000; r=–0.264, P=0.003; r=–0.257, P=0.004). The score of knowledge dimension was negatively correlated with nausea and vomiting, pain and loss of appetite (r=–0.212, P=0.017; r=–0.182, P=0.040; r=–0.239, P=0.007). The score of coping ability dimension was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life and physical function (r=0.204, P=0.021; r=0.204, P=0.021), while negatively correlated with scores of fatigue, pain, insomnia and loss of appetite (r=–0.349, P=0.000; r=–0.240, P=0.007; r=–0.202, P=0.022; r=–0.201, P=0.024). The score of expected support was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life (r=0.220, P=0.013), and negatively correlated with scores of fatigue and loss of appetite (r=–0.249, P=0.005; r=–0.227, P=0.010).ConclusionsThe short term quality of life among CRC patients following ERAS keeps at upper middle level, and positively correlated with the readiness for hospital discharge. It is suggested that discharge preparation service is of great significance to improve the quality of life of patients.

ObjectiveTo summarize research progress of quality of life in patients after colorectal cancer surgery.MethodsThe literatures about quality of life of patients with colorectal cancer surgery in recent years are reviewed.ResultsQuality of life had became an important criterion for evaluating the therapeutic effect and prognosis of cancer. At present, the assessment tools for the quality of life of colorectal cancer patients mainly included the universal scale [such as Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)], the applicable scales for cancer patients [such as European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer: quality of life questionaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer: quality of life questionaire-CR38 (EORTC QLQ-CR38)], and the special scales for stoma patients represented by City of Hope Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire (COH-QOL-OQ), Stoma Quality Of Life (Stoma-QOL), Stoma Quality Of Life Scale (SQOLS), and so on. The short-term quality of life of colorectal cancer patients was lower at 1 month after operation and recovered at 3 months after operation. Five years after surgery, attention should also be paid to the long-term quality of life. Besides, postoperative quality of life of colorectal cancer patients was affected by age, occupational status, economy, preoperative physical activity level, psychological and social factor, personality, surgical method, co-morbidity, complication, stoma, and so on.ConclusionsUnderstand the longitudinal changes and influencing factors of patients’ quality of life after operation, grasp the time point of effective intervention, and select appropriate assessment tools are necessary for medical staff. It is of great significance to further optimize the clinical management pathway and improve the quality of life of patients with colorectal cancer after operation.
