ObjectiveTo study the protective effect of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) on grafted mucous membrane of transplanted small bowel.MethodsTotal small bowel transplantation was made in inbred Wistar (RT1k) rats heterotopically,either total parenteral nutrition (control group,n=10) or hepatocyte growth factor supplemented TPN (HGF group,n=10) was given to the recipients from the 2nd day to the 10th day postoperatively. Morphological parameters of the transplanted intestinal mucosa, such as mucosal villous height, villous width, crypt depth, mucosal thickness and villous surface area were observed. Variation of ultrastructure of transplanted epithelial cells was observed. Composition of mucosal protein and DNA content were tested. ResultsComparison between HGF group and the control group were as follows. Mucosal villous height (298.79±22.31） μm vs （176.45±14.62） μm, P=0.001, villous width (107.46±12.34） μm vs （74.20±16.85） μm, P=0.004, crypt depth (104.56±11.17） μm vs （74.45±8.34） μm, P=0.000 5, mucosal thickness (409.53±35.83） μm vs （259.38±24.65） μm, P=0.003, and villous surface area (0.101±0.011) mm2 vs (0.041±0.005) mm2, P=0.001 were found significantly increased in HGF group compared with control group, there were no obvious difference decrease as compared to pretransplant parameters.Mucosal protein composition was higher in HGF group than that in control group （89.65±9.28) mg/g wet wt vs (53.73±11.45) mg/g wet wt, P=0.012, baseline (92.64±10.52) mg/g wet wt, nearly equal to baseline; DNA composition was also high in HGF group （0.89±0.09) mg/g wet wt vs (0.51±0.06) mg/g wet wt, P=0.008, baseline (0.91±0.09) mg/g wet wt. Nearly normal ultrastructure of the graft was maintained in HGF group, atrophied microvilli and broken mitochondrial crista were observed in control group.ConclusionHepatocyte growth factor can improve mucosal structure, preserve enterocyte ultrastructure of isograft after small bowel transplantation in rat.
Methods Sixty-six postoperative patients with gastric cancer combined diabetes were divided into 3 groups according to the balanced principle. In the frist group (FD group), FD was the nutrition preparation for 21 patients. In the second group (fresubin group), fresubin and the ordinary insulin injection were the nutrition preparation for 21 patients. In the third group (TPN group), the nutrition preparation came from TPN and the ordinary insulin injection for 24 patients. FD, fresubin or TPN were given at 24 h after operation, the levels of blood glucose for empty stomach, after meal (enteral nutrition or TPN) and the common complications compared among 3 groups of postoperative patients. Results ① In FD group, the levels of blood glucose of postoperative empty stomach and after enteral nutrition were stable with little fluctuation and no insulin was needed with 1 case of hyperglycemia (4.8%). In fresubin group and TPN group, the levels of blood glucose of postoperative empty stomach and after enteral nutrition or TPN were unstable with big fluctuation, with 6 cases (28.6%) and 8 cases (33.3%) of hyperglycemia, 5 cases (23.8%) and 6 cases (25.0%) of hypoglycemia in fresubin group and TPN group, respectively. Compared with fresubin group and TPN group, the rate of pathoglycemia was lower in FD group, the difference had statistical significance separately (Plt;0.05); There was no significant difference between fresubin group and TPN group (Pgt;0.05). ② The rates of infection of incisional wound in FD group (4.8%) and fresubin group (23.8%) were lower than that of TPN group (33.3%), there was significant difference among 3 groups (Plt;0.05); The time of passage of gas by anus in FD group and fresubin group were shorter than that in TPN group (Plt;0.05); There was no significant difference between FD group and fresubin group (Pgt;0.05). There were no significant differences of the rates of abdominal distension or diarrhea among 3 groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Regarding postoperative patients with gastric cancer combined diabetes, in the early time field test group of the nutrition preparation, FD is better than fresubin or TPN, which does not increase the risk of the blood glucose change and have few complications.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of total parenteral nutrition in neonatal patients and study the nursing methods for these neonates. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 70 neonatal patients who accepted total parenteral nutrition in our hospital from October 2010 to October 2011. Physiological indexes were compared before and after total parenteral nutrition. ResultsSignificant improvements in the nutritional status of all children were observed. All patients achieved good efficacy and effective care. ConclusionTotal parenteral nutrition support for critically ill newborns is of great significance, and good caring also plays an important role.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo explore the mechanisms of anabolism intensified by recombination human growth hormone (GH) on the basis of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) during postoperative in gastrointestinal carcinoma patients. MethodsNinety-four gastrointestinal carcinoma patients undergone operation were randomly divided into TPN group and TPN+GH group. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were detected in the first, third, seventh postoperative day. ResultsThe levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were significantly lower in TPN+GH group than those in the TPN group at the first, third, seventh postoperative day （P＜0.01）. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were significantly higher at the indicated time of postoperative days than the pre-operative days in the two groups (P＜0.01）. ConclusionBy inhibiting TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP production in gastrointestinal carcinoma patients undergone operation and blocking high catabolism induced by inflammatory cytokines, GH promotes the synthesis of anabolism.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion in parenteral nutrition support after radical resection of gastric cancer patients.MethodsThe clinical data of 80 patients in Tongling Peopl’s Hospital undergoing radical resection of gastric cancer from March 2018 to September 2019 were enrolled by retrospective method. Of them, 40 patients were treated with routine parenteral nutrition (control group) and 40 patients were treated with extra 100 mL omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion after operation (observation group). Nutritional and stress indicators included blood total albumin (TP), albumin (ALB), c-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) on one day before operation, and 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after operation were collected. The collected indexes of liver function included blood cholesterol (CHO), triglyceride (TG), total bilirubin (TBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) on one day before operation, and 3rd and 7th days after operation.Results① Nutritional indicator. There was no significant differences in TP and ALB levels between the two groups on one day before operation, and on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after operation (P>0.05). In the same group compared with one day before operation, the average TP level of the control group and the observation group decreased on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after operation (P<0.05), and in the control group and the observation group, the ALB level decreased on the 1st day after operation (P<0.05), and increased on the 7th day after operation (P<0.05). ② Stress index. There was no significant difference in CRP and PCT levels between the two groups on one day before and one day after operation (P>0.05), and the CRP and PCT levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group on the 3rd day and 7th day after operation (P<0.05). Compared with the CRP and PCT levels on the one day before operation, the average CRP and PCT levels in the observation group and the control group increased on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after operation (P<0.05). ③ Liver function index. There was no significant differences in CHO, TG, and γ-GT levels between the two groups on one day before operation and the 3rd day after operation (P>0.05), but the above indexes of observation group were lower on the 7th day after operation than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant differences on TBIL, ALT, and ALP levels between the postoperative observation group and the control group (P>0.05). Compared with one day before operation in the same group, there was no significant difference on CHO and ALP levels on 3rd and 7th day after operation in both the observation group and control group (P>0.05). There was no significant differences in TG and TBIL levels in the observation group on 3rd and 7th day after operation (P>0.05), but the TG and TBIL levels in the control group were increased on 7th after operation (P<0.05), and the ALT and γ-GT levels in the observation group and the control group on 7th day after operation were increased in the same group compared with one day before operation (P<0.05).ConclusionParenteral nutrition with omega-3 fish oil fat emulsion do not improve the recent postoperative nutritional status, but reduce the inflammatory stress response and protecte liver function in patients with gastric cancer after operation.
In order to investigater the effect of nutritional support on nutrients metabolism after liver resection,we researched into the hepatectomy and total parenteral nutrition model in rats.The features of the model were no fasting before surgery,10% glucose subcutaneous injection prior to operation avoiding of blood loss and shortening of the surgical process.The 7-day mortality was markedly decreased.Anesthetized with phenobarbital(25mg/kg) injection in combination of ether inhalation,the rats recovered quickly from anesthesia and developed almost no infection of the respiratory tract after hepatectomy.The rats were supplied parenterally energy of 573kJ/kg and a marked improvement in survival was achieved after liver resection.By applying dual preventive rotation equipment of protective spring and IN-Stopper,nutrient solution could be safely infused.
Malnutrition is directly related to the outcomes of critically ill children. Providing ideal nutritional treatment can reduce the high catabolic state caused by the critically ill, reduce oxidative damage and regulate immune response, then improving clinical prognosis. Optimized nutritional supply for critically ill children has been transformed from auxiliary support to one of the important treatment methods. Enteral nutrition is the preferred way to provide nutrition, but parenteral nutrition is the only method of supplement and replacement when the supply of enteral nutrition is insufficient or deficient. This article reviews the timing of parenteral nutrition initiation, protein and amino acids in parenteral nutrition, the mechanism of possible adverse effects in early parenteral nutrition, and issues related to parenteral nutrition in premature infants, in order to help clinicians in pediatric intensive care unit improve the evaluation and management of parenteral nutrition use.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of total enteral nutrition (TEN) versus total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods The databases such as Pubmed (1996 to June 2011), EMbase (1984 to June 2011), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials of The Cochrane Library (Issue 6, 2011) and CBM (1978 to June 2011) were electronically searched, and the relevant references of the included papers were also manually searched. Two reviewers independently screened the trials according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the methodology quality. Meta-analyses were performed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.1 software. Results Seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 379 patients with SAP were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that compared with TPN, TEN could significantly reduce the risk of mortality (RR=0.33, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.55, Plt;0.000 1), pancreatitis-related infections (RR=0.35, 95%CI 0.25 to 0.50, Plt;0.000 01), required rate of surgical intervention (RR=0.43, 95%CI 0.23 to 0.82, P=0.01), and incidence of multiple organ failure (MOF) (RR=0.28, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.46, Plt;0.000 01). There was no significant difference in the nutrition strategies associated complications between TPN and TEN (RR=1.16, 95%CI 0.42 to 3.22, P=0.78). Conclusion Meta-analyses show that compared with TPN, TEN can reduce the risk of mortality, pancreatitis-related infections, required rate of surgical intervention, and incidence of MOF; and it will not increase the nutrition strategies associated complications. Consequently, TEN should be considered a better choice for SAP patients as early as possible.
Objective To investigate the influence on the postoperative recovery for giving either total parenteral nutrition （TPN） or early enteral nutrition (EEN) to patients with gastric cancer after total gastrectomy. Methods Eighty-six patients with gastric cancer undergone total gastrectomy were divided into TPN group (n=31) and EEN group (n=55). Patients in TPN group received TPN support via vena cava (internal jugular vein or subclavian vein), while patients in EEN group received early feeding through the naso-intestinal tube, which was placed during operation, and volume of enteral nutrition (fresubin) was increased daily, full enteral nutrition was expected on day 3-5. Nutrition status after operation, postoperative plasma albumin (Alb), the time of passing gas or stool, the time of oral intake, hospital stay and any postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed. Results There were no significant differences between two groups (Pgt;0.05) in postoperative plasma Alb level, the time of passing gas or stool, postoperative complications rate or hospital stay. However, in the TPN group, the time of oral intake was shorter than that in EEN group (P=0.004). Conclusions Both TPN and EEN are the suitable nutritional methods for patients with gastric cancer after total gastrectomy, and with no detectable difference. For patients with high risk, such as severe malnutrition, naso-intestinal tube should be placed for EEN.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of early enteral nutrition (EN) versus total parenteral nutrition (TPN) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods Such databases as MEDLINE, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, VIP, CNKI were electronically searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about EN versus TPN after PD published from 2000 to March 2010. The quality of the included trials was assessed according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria, and the data were extracted and analyzed by using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 4 RCTs involving 322 PD patients were included. The meta-analysis showed that the EN (the treatment group) was superior to the TPN (the control group) in the average postoperative hospital stay (MD= –2.34, 95%CI –3.91 to –0.77, Plt;0.05), the total incidence rate of complication (RR=0.75, 95%CI 0.57 to 0.99, P=0.04), the recovery time of enterocinesia (MD= –29.87, 95%CI –33.01 to –26.73, Plt;0.05) and the nutrition costs (MD= –30.51, 95%CI –35.78 to –25.24, Plt;0.05); there were no differences in mortality (RR=0.23, 95%CI 0.03 to 2.03, P=0.19), pancreatic leakage (RR=0.78, 95%CI 0.45 to 1.35, P=0.38), infectious complications (RR=0.71, 95%CI 0.43 to 1.18, P=0.19), non-infectious complications (RR=0.78, 95%CI 0.5 1 to 1.20, P=0.26) and postoperative serum albumin level (MD= –0.79, 95%CI –2.84 to 1.27, P=0.45). Conclusion Compared with total parenteral nutrition, the enteral nutrition used earlier after pancreatoduodenectomy shows significant advantages. But more reasonably-designed and double blind RCTs with large scale are expected to provide high quality proof.
