Objective To investigate the effect of early postoperative enteral nutrition support on the balance of free amino acid spectrum in plasma for patients with cardiac valve replacement during perioperative period. Methods (Forty-seven) patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement were divided into two groups randomly, the routine diet group and the Nutrison Fibre group. The levels of free amino acids in plasma were measured with pre-column derivatization of high-performance liquid chromatography. Results During perioperative period most free amino acids in plasma decreased significantly in the routine diet group (Plt;0.05). Despite some free amino acids in plasma decreased significantly in the Nutrison Fibre group(Plt;0.05), all free amino acids in plasma returned to (Pgt;05) or were higher than the preoperative levels in the postoperative sixth day (Plt;0.05). At the same postoperative points, most free amino acids in plasma in the Nutrison Fibre group were higher than that of the routine diet group (Plt;0.05). Conclusions The levels of free amino acids in plasma decrease significantly in patients with cardiac valve replacement after operation. Early postoperative Nutrison Fibre enteral nutrition support is helpful for keeping the balance of free amino acids in plasma for patients with cardiac valve replacement.
Objective To compare the clinical effects of early enteral and parenteral nutrition, and to study their effects on cytokine release, cellular immune function and protein metabolism in early postoperative patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods Thirty-six patients with gastrointestinal cancer were randomly divided into early postoperative enteral nutrition (EN) group (19 cases) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group (17 cases), and they were supported with EN or PN during postoperative period of 1-7 days, respectively. The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured by ELISA. The total lymphocyte count (TLC) and subgroups of lymphocyte (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 and NK cell) were determined with flow cytometer. The urea and creatinine of the 24 h excretory urine were examined at four different phases: preoperative (pre), 1st d, 3rd d and 5th d after operation (pod). The clinical recovery indicators and the complication incidence were also observed. Results All the patients followed the project of nutritional support and relevant examinations, and there was no severe complication and no patient died during the research. The IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10, the 24 h urea and creatinine increased, while the serum TNF-α and TLC (except 3, 5 pod of EN group) decreased. There was no marked change of the proportion of lymphocyte subgroups after operation and there was no significant difference of the changes of IL-1β, IL-10 and TNF-α between the two groups as well. The levels of IL-6 (3, 5 pod), the 24 h urea (3, 5 pod) and creatinine (3, 5 pod) were significantly lower in EN group than those in PN group （P＜0.05）, whereas TLC (3, 5 pod) were significantly higher than that in EN group （P＜0.05）. In addition, the postoperative infection incidence （10.5% vs 35.3%）, fever duaration, rehabilitation time and medical cost were significantly lower in EN group than those in PN group （P＜0.05）.Conclusion The early postoperative EN has an advantage over PN in the patients with gastrointestinal cancer, which could decrease the release of cytokine and suppress protein metabolism resulting from operational stress, and could reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and inflammatory reaction time. They could also improve the cellular immune function and decrease the rebilitation duration and medical cost.
Objective To promote the clinical application of parenteral and enteral nutrition preparations in hospitalized patients. Methods Domestic and foreign articles about parenteral and enteral nutrition support were enrolled to make a review. Results Nowadays, parenteral and enteral nutrition played an important role in the medical treatment of perioperative and critically ill patients. Rational nutrition support could improve the condition of patients with nutritional risk and result in better clinical outcomes. Different enteral nutrition formulations should be used according to the diseases. Supplementally parenteral nutrition may also be useful in combination with enteral nutrition to reach the required intake targets. We should pay attention to the application of glucose, lipid emulsion, amino acids, vitamins, and so on, when performed parenteral nutrition support. Conclusion It is necessary to standardize parenteral and enteral nutrition support in the work of clinical practice, including the application of nutrition support and selection of nutrition preparations.

Objective To observe the effect of parenteral nutrition (PN) on the protein storage and immunofunction in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods PN regimes consisted of nonprotein calories (NPC) 20-25 kcal/(kg·d) and nitrogen 0.15-0.20 g/(kg·d), the energy ratio of the glucose and fat emulsion was 2∶1. The PN solution was infused by total nutrition admixture (TNA), 12-16 hours per day for 7 days in 21 liver cirrhosis patients. Perior to the surgery and at 1st, 4th, 7th postoperative day, serum pre-Alb, transferrin (TSF), immunofunction (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, CH50, C3, C4, CD3, CD4, CD8, NKC), and nitrogen balance were tested. Results Serum pre-Alb, TSF, nitrogen balance and IgG, IgE, CH50, CD3, CD4, NKC were significantly decreased (Ｐ＜0.05), but the foregoing indices were higher than those of postoperative 1, 4d as compared with postoperative 7d. Conclusion These results bly indicated that postoperative nutritional support is safe and useful, and improve the patient’s nutritional status and immunofunction.
Sarcopenia is a syndrome associated with reduced strength, mass and function of skeletal muscles. Aging of gastric cancer patients, lack of nutritional intake, and pathological mechanisms of gastric cancer increase the likelihood of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is associated with the development of gastric cancer and may be a risk factor for the formation of gastric cancer. Sarcopenia is closely related to the prognosis and treatment of gastric cancer. At present, the treatment of sarcopenia is still in the exploratory stage, and more research is needed to obtain better treatment plans and improve the quality of life of patients. This article reviews the research status of sarcopenia and gastric cancer in order to provide evidence for clinical research.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effect of different enteral nutrition timing on patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.MethodsPubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP databases were searched to collect RCTs for nutritional support in pancreaticoduodenectomy patients. The search time was established until March 1 2019. After two independent investigators conducted literature screening, data extraction, and evaluation of the risk of bias in the included studies, a meta-metabolic analysis was performed using the R 3.5.3 software gemtc package, JAGS 3.4.0, and Revman software.ResultsA total of 8 RCTs were included, for a total of 825 patients. The results of reticular meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the duration of hospitalization for patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy, between the enteral nutrition supported at different timing. The results of the ranking probability map suggested that preoperative enteral nutrition was a better option for supporting nutrition in patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy, secondly, timing to give was 24–48 hours after operation.ConclusionsAccording to the results of mesh meta-analysis and probabilistic ranking, the nutritional status of patients is corrected before surgery, and the effect of enteral nutrition is better than other nutritional support methods. Secondly, enteral nutrition should be given at 24–48 hours after operation in combination with ESPEN and ERAS recommendations.
Objective To explore the status of nutrition risk and its relative factors in patients of department of gastrointestinal surgery, and to observe the effectiveness of nutrition support on post-operative recovery of patients with gastric cancer. Methods A total of 1 048 cases of in-patients in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Jinan Central Hospital Affiliated Shandong University from January 2015 to January 2016 were collected prospectively, and then screened the nutrition risk of these patients by nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and evaluated the actual malnutrition situation when they left hospital. Then collected 52 gastric cancer patients whose NRS-2002 score ≥3, and divided them to control group and experimental group randomly. The patients of experimental group received extra standard medical nutrition support while the patients of control group did not. Compared the nutritional indexes as well as some postoperative recovery indexes, such as the postoperative exhaust time, postoperative defecation time, infusion stop time, length of hospital stay, and incidence of complications. Results ① Nutritional risk. Among the 1 048 cases, 230 cases (21.9%) had nutritional risk while 118 cases (11.3%) developed to malnutrition. Age and degree of cancer were all related with nutritional risk (P<0.05) while gender was irrelevant (P>0.05). Patients with age ≥60 years, advanced gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer in Ⅲ+Ⅳ staging, had higher rates of nutritional risk than patients with age <60 years, early gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer inⅠ+Ⅱstaging. Results of actual malnutrition was in good accordance with the screening result of NRS-2002 (κ=0.57). ② Influence of nutritional support on gastric cancer patients. Compared with control group, there was an improvement in albumin, pre-albumin, and weight of experimental group and the distinction had statistical significance (P<0.05). The distinction of postoperative exhaust time and incidence of complication between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05), but postoperative defecation time, infusion stop time, and the length of hospital stay of the experimental group were shorter than those of the control group with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions The problem of malnutrition exists generally in the in-patients of department of gastrointestinal surgery. Applying the instrument of nutritional risk assessment to assess the risk as early as possible and giving appropriate nutrition support therapy positively, will make favorable influence to the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.
