One of the most difficult problems on tendon surgery is adhesion formation during the process of tendon healing, which causes functional interference. This pathophysiologic pcocess is closely related to the ways of tendon nourishment and types of tendon healing. In order to understand whether the sutured tendon couldheal without blood circulation, the process and types of tendon healing in the synovial fluid were studied by in vivo culture modle. Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) segments from the front paw of 50 New Zedland white rabbits were cut inthe middle and sutured with microsurgical technique, and then, preserved in thesynovial cavitied of both knees of the rabbits. After 1, 2, 4, 6 weeks, the specimens from the synovial cavities were studied by gross observation, light microscope, scanning and transmission electron microscope, and biochemical determination. The results showed that the tendon which was nourished by synovial fluid not only could survive, but also could heal. Healing of the tendon was completed by activation and proliferation of both peritendon cells and cells in the tendon.The healing could be devided into 3 periods: malnutrition period (less than 1 week), reparative period (2-4 week) and rebuilding period (more than 4 week).
Objective To investigatethe anatomic structure of the compound flap of distally-based saphenous nervegreat saphenous vein nutritional vessels so as to provide anatomic basis for the clinical operation. Methods The origin, branches, anastomosis of nutritional vessels of sural nerve-great saphenous vein, and the relationof blood supply of tibia and soleus muscle were observed on 30 low limb specimens of adult cadaver, which were perfused with red gelatin to dissect from the artery. Results The nutritional vessels of sural nerve-great saphenous vein originated from: the saphenous artery 3-5 branches with a diameter of 0.7±0.4 mm；the cutaneous branches of medial inferior genicular artery, diameter of 0.7±0.2 mm；the intermuscular space perforating branches of posterior tibial artery 2-7 branches with a diameter of 1.0±0.2 mm，the internus halfside of the muscular branches nutrient soleus muscle；the perforating osteoseptocutaneous 1-2 branches with a diameter of 1.3±0.3 mm; the perforating branches of superior malleolus with a diameter of 0.6±0.2 mm; the perforating branches of medial anterior malleolus with a diameter of 0.8±0.3 mm. A vascularnetwork of 3 layers, which included periosteum, deep artery, and fascia nerve and superficial vein, was formed by those branches of deep artery, fascia branches, periosteum branches, and nerve-vein nutrition branches. Conclusion The nutritional vessels of saphenous nerve-great saphenous vein has the same origin as muscles, bones, and cutaneous nutritional vessels. It provides anatomic basis for the compound flap of distally-based saphenous nerve nutritional vessels.
Objective To investigate the changes of gastrointestinal hormone and body composition in patients with gastric cancer after gastrectomy. Methods Thirty-eight patients with gastric cancer were divided into three groups: distal gastrectomy group, proximal gastrectomy group and total gastrectomy group and 9 volunteers as control group. The nutrition status and gastrointestinal function were evaluated by four times. The time of postoperative first anal exsufflation and defacation, hospital stay and complications were recorded, and the pre-meal and the post-meal level of gastrointestinal hormones 1 month after operation were detected. Results Compared with control group, the basic levels of somatostatin (SS), cholecystokinin (CCK) and motilin (MTL) of distal gastrectomy group, proximal gastrectomy group and total gastrectomy group significantly increased (Plt;0.01). The post-meal level of gastrointestinal hormones significantly increased as compared with the pre-meal level in each group (Plt;0.01). The CCK in proximal gastrectomy group was lower than that of distal gastrectomy group and total gastrectomy group (Plt;0.01). The postoperative body weight and body composition in each group decreased. One month after operation, patients of total gastrectomy group got the lowest body weight (Plt;0.01). The decreasing level of fat free mass (FFM) was listed by total gastrectomy group, proximal gastrectomy group and distal gastrectomy group. The edema index had significant difference in distal gastrectomy group, proximal gastrectomy group and total gastrectomy group (Plt;0.01), and total gastrectomy group was the most obvious. The postoperative passing flatus and defecation time and average hospital stay in total gastrectomy group were significantly prolonged (Plt;0.05). The gastrointestinal symptoms score among three groups was significantly different (Plt;0.05). Conclusion There are different changes of gastrointestinal hormone and body composition in patients with gastric cancer after different gastrectomy, the basic levels of SS, CCK and MTL of distal gastrectomy group, proximal gastrectomy group and total gastrectomy group are higher than those of control group. The CCK of proximal gastrectomy group is lower than that of distal gastrectomy group and total gastrectomy group. Patients received total gastrectomy lose much body weight and FFM and get higher edema index.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of perioperative nutritional management on patients with spinal cord injury under the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) theory.MethodsA total of 82 patients with spinal cord injury admitted to a tertiay hospital in Shanghai between August 2018 and May 2020 were selected by convenience sampling method. They were randomly divided into intervention group and control group, with 41 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received conventional orthopaedics elective surgery nutritional management, while the patients in the intervention group adopted perioperative nutritional management based on ERAS concept, including establishing a multidisciplinary nutritional management team, conducting admission and regular nutritional screenings, and then developing targeted nutritional interventions based on the screening results. Biochemical indexes of nutritional assessment, electrolyte indexes, nutrition-related complications and general inpatient indexes were observed and compared between the two groups.ResultsThere were statistically significant differences in albumin, prealbumin, total protein, hemoglobin, potassium, sodium, and chlorine between the two groups on the first day after surgery and one day before discharge (P<0.05). The incidences of hypoglycemia (2.4% vs. 19.5%) and total complications (19.5% vs. 61.0%) in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The total hospital stay [(10.48±2.61) vs. (12.09±2.74) d], postoperative hospital stay [(5.57±2.35) vs. (7.55±3.01) d], and hospital expenses [(11.21±4.42)×104 vs. (14.73±5.51)×104 yuan] in the intervention group were less than those in the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionPerioperative nutritional management under the ERAS theory can effectively improve the nutritional status of patients with spinal cord injury, maintain electrolyte balance, reduce the incidence of complications, shorten the length of hospitalization, reduce the cost of hospitalization, and promote postoperative rehabilitation of patients.
Objective To research the effect of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) on inflammatory response and nutritional condition after operation for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. Methods Forty patients with gastrointestinal malignancies were included in this study from February 1st, 2009 to June 1st, 2009. Forty cases were randomly allocated to experimental group (20 cases) and control group (20 cases). Parenteral nutrition was conducted in continuous 7 days after operation. Comparing with control group, a dose of 10 g of ω-3 PUFA was given to experimental group every day in 7 days after operation in addition. Blood samples were gained before operation, the 2nd and 8th day after operation respectively to measure relative indexes about inflammatory response (WBC, neutrophilic granulocyte and C-reaction protein) and nutrition (total protein, albumin, prealbumin, siderophilin and lymphocyte). Reduction of body mass was also recorded. Results The baseline between experimental group and control group was comparable (Pgt;0.05). The levels of indexes about inflammatory response (WBC, neutrophilic granulocytem and C-reaction protein) and nutrition (total protein, albumin, prealbumin, siderophilin and lymphocyte) between experimental and control group did not reach statistically significant difference in the 2nd day after operation (Pgt;0.05). The levels of neutrophilic granulocyte and C-reaction protein in experimental group were lower than those of control group, and the level of lymphocyte in experimental group was higher than that of control group in the 8th day after operation, and all of them reached statistical significance (Plt;0.05). There was no statistical different in reduction of body mass between experimentalgroupandcontrolgroup.Conclusion ω-3 PUFA can depress the excessively inflammatory reaction and improve the nutritional condition of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies after operation.
Objective To assess the effect and safety of clinical nutritional supplementation with different patterns for treating systematic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified from MEDLINE (1996 to Nov. 2004), EMBASE (1984 to Nov. 2002), Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (Issue 4, 2004), Chinese Cochrane Centre Database (Issue 4, 2004), CBMdisc (1978 to Nov. 2004). We handsearched related published and unpublished data and their references. All RCTs of nutritional interventions for SIRS were included. Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently with designed extraction form. RevMan 4.2.7 software was used for data analysis. Results Six RCTs involving 353 patients were included. All the results of meta-analysis were listed as the following: ① Mortality: compared with routine nutrition, one study showed that glutamine had a statistical difference with RR 0.67 and 95%CI 0.31 to 1.32. Compared with no treatment, one study showed selenium had a statistical difference with RR 1.19, 95%CI 0.59 to 2.41. ② Compared with routine nutrition, one study showed that glutamine had a statistical difference on reducing the ratio of nasocomial infection of SIRS with RR 0.5, 95%CI 0.27 to 0.91, but had no statistical difference on reducing the ratio of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with RR 1.53, 95%CI 0.64 to 3.66. ③ Improvement of the critical condition of SIRS: compared with routine nutrition, one study showed that glutamine had a statistical differences with WMD 4.0, 95%CI 2.36 to 5.64; compared with high calorie intake, two studies showed low calorie intake had a statistical difference with WMD 4.9, 95%CI 1.76 to 8.04. ④ Reduction of the complication of hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia: compared with high calorie intake, one study showed low calorie intake had statistical difference with WMD －0.70, 95%CI －1.20 to －0.20 and WMD －1.80, 95% CI －2.42 to －1.16 respectively and all P≤0.01. ⑤ Increasing of the plasma IgG concentration: compared with routine nutrition, two studies showed that glutamine had a statistical difference with WMD 4.20, 95% CI 2.23 to 6.16. ⑥ Increasing of the nitrogen balance, intestinal permeability, the level of plasma concentration of anlbumin, prealbumin and TRF: compared with control interventions, glutamine, low calorie intake, selenium supplementation and fructose-glucose-xylitol mixture showed no statistical difference. Conclusions Glutamine, low calorie intake, selenium supplementation, FGX mixture may decrease the complication of infection or metabolism and be better than the controlled interventions; but there is no benefit on reducing the rate of death result from SIRS compared with controlled interventions. The evidence of most RCTs with poor quality is too weak to draw a conclusion. More high quality trials are required.
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.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the quality of guidelines on nutrition in liver disease from 2017 to 2019, and to interpret these guidelines so as to provide references for clinical practice.MethodsComputer-assisted literature searches in CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, Medline (Ovid), The Cochrane Library, PubMed and Medlive databases were performed by two reviewers for guidelines on nutrition in liver disease from January 2017 to July 2019. Two reviewers extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of the included guidelines using AGREE II, separately. Meanwhile, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the degree of consistency.ResultsFour guidelines were included with 2 from China and 2 from Europe. Their average standardised scores in the 6 domains of scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigour of development, clarity, applicability and independence were 79.17%, 71.53%, 78.13%, 85.42%, 61.98% and 43.75%, respectively. The Chinese and European guidelines had similar recommendations for energy and other nutrients, apart from differences in recommendations for protein intake. The European guidelines considered that restricting protein intake was not beneficial for patients with hepatic encephalopathy, while the Chinese guidelines argued that patients with severe hepatic encephalopathy were required to reduce or limit their protein intake.ConclusionsAll 4 guidelines are of average quality and are required to be strengthened in the ‘independence’ domain. Currently, the only consensus on nutrition therapy for liver disease and guidelines on nutrition in end-stage liver disease are available for references in China, with lower quality scores than that of the European guidelines. Therefore, the evidence-based guidelines on nutrition in liver disease should be developed by Chinese national conditions as soon as possible to provide references for clinicians, nurses and clinical nutritionists, enableing them to implement nutrition screening, evaluation, nutritional therapy and follow-up management for patrents with liver disease.
