ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factor of intraoperative hypothermia during laparotomy.MethodsA total of 81 patients underwent laparotomy in our hospital from October 1, 2018 to January 1, 2019 were enrolled. The difference of preoperative baseline data and surgical data between the hypothermia and non-hypothermia groups was compared, and the influencing factor of intraoperative hypothermia during laparotomy was explored.ResultsOf the 81 patients, 32 patients occurred hypothermia during operation. There were no significant differences in gender, age, BMI, HGB, WBC count, PLT count, TB, AST, ALT, ALB, PT, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, and Clavien-Dindo grade between the hypothermia group and the non-hypothermia group (P>0.05), but there were significant differences in intraoperative infusion volume, intraoperative blood loss, and surgical mode (P<0.05). The intraoperative infusion volume and intraoperative blood loss in the hypothermia group were higher than those in the non-hypothermia operation group, and the proportion of hepatectomy was higher than that in the non-hypothermia group. The multivariate analysis show that the intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative infusion volume, and kind of operation were the risk factors for the hypothermia during laparotomy (P<0.05).ConclusionsIntraoperative hypothermia is related to intraoperative bleeding volume, intraoperative fluid infusion volume, and the kind of operation. Therefore, for patients with less bleeding, the intraoperative hypothermia can be reduced by limiting the volume of intraoperative fluid infusion. For those patients with more intraoperative bleeding, warming fluid infusion may reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia.
ObjectiveTo review the application of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ω-3PUFAs) in patients with gastric cancer.MethodThe related literatures about the application of Ω-3PUFAs in patients with gastric cancer were reviewed by searching domestic and international databases.ResultsΩ-3PUFAs didn’t only improve the perioperative immune function and inflammatory response in patients with gastric cancer, but also prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer, inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, increase the sensitivity of chemotherapy, and reduce the occurrence of chemotherapy-related adverse events.ConclusionsΩ-3PUFAsis an immunological nutrition, which can provide energy and also has functions of anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immunity regulation. It has been widely used in patients with gastric cancer, but the relevant mechanism needs further to be investigated.
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.
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.

Objective To compare the differences in evaluating readiness for hospital discharge between nurses and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients following enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Patient-reported Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) and nurse-reported RHDS were delivered to 130 CRC patients and 40 nurses respectively. All patients were followed ERAS pathway during perioperative periods. The differences were compared in evaluating readiness for hospital discharge between nurses and CRC patients. Results This study investigated 130 CRC patients and 40 responsible nurses. The scores of RHDS from nurses and patients were 162.86±27.95 and 149.86±33.65 respectively. When evaluating whether patients were ready to go home after discharge, the consistency between nurses’ results and patients’ results was weak（κ=0.365, P<0.001）. Items in patients’ RHDS scoring ranking from high to low were expected support, coping ability, knowledge, and personal status. Items in nurses’ RHDS scoring ranking from high to low were expected support, knowledge, coping ability, and personal status. Besides the " social support” dimension, the scores of other 3 dimensions from nurses were significantly higher than those from patients (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a gap between the assessment of RHDS from nurses and patients, nurses overestimated patients’ discharge readiness level.
Objective To evaluate anal function in patients with rectal carcinoma after low anastomosis operation. Methods Five hundred and forty-one patients with low rectal carcinoma were followed up for 1-3 years to assess anal function after low or ultra-low Dixon anastomosis. The evaluation was based on Xu Zhong-fa Assessment Criteria of Anal Function, anastomotic position and time-to-operation. Defecation function training and rehabilitation instructions were administered after the operation. Results The evaluation of defecation function showed that in the low Dixon operation group, 75.8%(211/278) scored “excellent”, 11.8%(33/278) scored “good”, 10.1%(28/278) scored “fair” and 2.2%(6/278) scored “poor”. In the ultra-low Dixon operation group, 70.7%(186/263) scored “excellent”, 13.3%(35/263) scored “good”, 10.6% (28/263) scored “fair”, and 5.3%(14/263) scored “poor”. No statistical difference was found between the low and ultra-low Dixon groups in this evaluation (Z= –1.429,P=0.136). However, there was statistical difference in the “awareness of defecation”(Z= –4.610,P=0.000) and “sense of defecation” (Z= –5.252, P=0.000) domains between the two groups. The defecation functions were similar between the low and the ultra-low Dixon operation groups after 6-month post-operation training(Z= –0.550, P=0.582). Conclusions There is no difference in defecation function between low and ultra-low Dixon anastomotic operation patients with rectal carcinoma by nursing.
ObjectiveTo summarize the changes of gut microbiota after cholecystectomy, the mechanisms of changes, and the relation with colorectal cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and post-cholecystectomy syndrome after cholecystectomy, in order to provide new ideas for the perioperative management of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. MethodThe studies related to gut microbiota after cholecystectomy at home and abroad were searched and analyzed for review. ResultsThe cholecystectomy disrupted the liver–bile acid–gut flora axis of the patients, and the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota of the patients were altered, and the alteration might lead to the occurrence of colorectal cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and post-cholecystectomy syndrome, but the exact mechanism remained unclear. ConclusionsThe balance of intestinal microecology is disrupted after cholecystectomy, and the relation between cholecystectomy and gut microbiota may provide new ideas for the perioperative management of cholecystectomy patients and the prevention and treatment of diseases or symptoms after cholecystectomy, but the effect of cholecystectomy on gut microbiota and the relation with diseases or symptoms still need to be further studied.

ObjectiveTo review the association of gut microbiota and postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (GID) in patients after abdominal surgery and to provide a new idea for the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery.MethodThe related and latest literatures were reviewed by searching the literatures on “intestinal flora” “gut microbiota” “intestinal microbial population” “brain-gut axis” “gastrointestinal function” “gastric paralysis” “intestinal paralysis” and “ileus” from January 1, 2000 to April 2, 2021 in Chinese and English databases.ResultsGut microbiota diversity was closely related to postoperative GID symptoms in patients after abdominal surgery. Gut microbiota regulated gastrointestinal motility and mucosal barrier function by metabolizing food to produce metabolites such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, melatonin, short-chain fatty acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and so on.ConclusionsThe imbalance of gut microbiota is closely related to postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery. However, the relevant bacterial metabolites that have been found are limited at present, and the relevant mechanism needs to be further investigated.
