Experienc of nurtitional treatment to 7 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) and nitrogemia after biliarty (tract) surgery is reported in this article. Nittrogen source inn all cases was obtained from "Renal Amine" and "7% Vamin" etc,which are composed of 8 essential amino acids (EAA), and the nergery sources are mainly supplyed by Intralipid (20 or 10%) and suitable amount of glucose. The nutritional admicture of "all in one" were employed as parenteral nutrition (PN). Satisfactary curative effecs in these patients were obtained. The suthors consider that (a) the nutritional treatment of different casuses of ARF should be providing enough energy and more EAA requirments than in normal need to synthesizw non-essential amino acide (NEAA) and protein from excessive blood urea nitrogen (BUN) for redcuing pritein breakdown and nitrogemia, and (b) 20% Intralipid is an effective low-volume, highly calories nutritional agent specially in ARF patients with restiction of waterr.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical advantages of enteral nutrition (EN) for acute pancreatitis（AP）comparing with parenteral nutrition (PN) and its prospect. MethodsLiteratures using MESH Browser in Medline were collected and reviewed. ResultsBeing of much higher cost and complications, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) ever regarded as most importantly for AP nutritional support, is now challenged by EN. Clinical evidence suggests enteral (jejunal) nutrition may diminish intestinal permeability to endotoxin and diminish bacterial translocation, thus reducing the cytokine drive to the generalized inflammatory response and preventing organ dysfunction, as well as achieving “pancreatic rest” equivalent to the TPN. Conclusion Early enteral nutrition should be used preferentially for patients with severe acute pancreatitis without paralytic ileus.
ObjectiveTo investigate the psychological states and their influencing factors in parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). MethodsThe self-designed general information questionnaire was used to collect the demographic data, and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the states of anxiety and depression of the parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to ICU between June 1 and November 29, 2013. ResultsA total of 152 parents were included in this investigation. The average score of SAS was 39.45±8.53. The average score of SDS was 43.28±10.76. Univariate analysis found that parents with lower educational level, poorer family income, positive family history and countryside residence might have higher score of SAS, while parents with Han nationality, poorer family income and family history would have higher score of SDS. Multivariate analysis discovered that living condition and family history were related to anxiety status. However, depression state was influenced by nationality, family income and family history. ConclusionA considerable number of parents of congenital defect neonates admitted to ICU have anxiety or depression. And nationality, family income, family history and living condition are the major risk factors.
Objective To study the manageable methods, effect of early use of enteral nutrition after operations on esophageal cancer patients. Methods By different way of nutritional support after operation, 209 cases of esophageal cancer were divided into two groups in which enteral nutrition（EN） group,146 cases, were managed with early use of nutritional support through intestine and parenteral nutrition（PN） group, 63 cases, were given nutrition by way of veins. Complications, general recovery and blood biochemical criteria after operation between those two groups were compared. Results No cases of anastomotic fistula occurred in the two groups. The incidence of complications in EN group was significantly lower than that in PN group（P〈0.01）, and the occurrence of diarrhea was higher in EN group （P=0. 000）. The time needed for recovery of bowel sounds, anal exsufflation, defecation and hospital stay was shorter and hospital fee lower in EN group than those in PN group（P=0. 000）. The total amount of gastrointestinal and closed thoracic drainages decreased more significantly in EN group （P= 0. 000） and the value of albumin, globulin and total protein was significantly higher also in EN group （P = 0. 000）. But the amount of BUN, creatinine and neutrophil was significantly lower in EN group （P = 0. 000）. Conclusion Early use of enteral nutrition after operation on esophageal cancer is safe, effective and practical, with more significant advantages than those of parenteral nutrition.
Objective To explore the relationship of self-efficacy and coping styles with parenting styles in patients with schizophrenia, and provide the theory and practical basis for family-interventions of rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. Methods From January to June 2015, General Self- Efficacy Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran were used to evaluate 60 inpatients with schizophrenia and in good rehabilitation in a grade A tertiary general hospital. Results The scores of self-efficacy, parental emotional warmth and father’s over protection were lower in patients with schizophrenia than the norms (P<0.01). The scores of parental punishment and rejection and father’s over intervention were higher in patients with schizophrenia than the norms (P<0.01). In patients with schizophrenia, the active coping domain was positively correlated to parental emotion warmth (P<0.05); the negative coping domain was positively correlated to parental rejection, father’s over protection and mother’s over intervention (P<0.05); self-efficacy was positively correlated to father’s emotion warmth and preference of parents (P<0.05). Conclusions Active family-interventions is important in the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. The parents should be instructed to correctly educate the children, to improve the patients’ general self-efficacy, and help the patients successfully solve the problem with good coping style.
ObjectiveTo summary the effect of parenteral nutrition combined with enteral nutrition on patients with severe acute pancreatitis. MethodsThe clinical data of 200 patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted in our hospital in recent 10 years were retrospectively analyzed. Of which 88 cases were treated by traditional nutritional support therapy (traditional nutrition group), the rest of 112 cases of patients with early parenteral nutrition to later period gradually combined with enteral nutrition comprehensive nutritional support strategy (comprehensive nutrition group). ResultsThe APACHEⅡscores and serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP) of patients in comprehensive nutrition group were significantly lower than patients in traditional nutrition group (P < 0.05), while the serum albumin level was significantly higher than that of traditional nutrition group (P < 0.05). In the incidence of complications and mortality, the average length of stay and total cost of comprehensive nutrition group were significantly lower than patients with traditional nutrition group (P < 0.05), the cure rate was significantly higher than that of traditional nutrition group (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe combination of parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition of nutrition support model not only can shorten the duration of symptoms but also alleviate the burden of patients and reduce complications and mortality.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and security of early enteral nutrition (EN) on patients with gastric cancer after radical operation. MethodsSeventy cases who treated in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from Dec. 2008 to Apr. 2013 were randomly divided into EN group (n=35) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group (n=35), analysis and comparison of nutrition indicators and recovery indicators between 2 groups were performed. ResultsThere were no significant differences on levels of count of white blood cell (WBC), serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), and transferring (TRF) before operation between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). On 3 and 7 days after operation, the levels of ALB, PA, and TRF were all higher in EN group (P < 0.05) besides level of count of WBC. In addition, hospital stay and hospitalization cost were both lower in EN group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference on postoperative exhaust time and complication incidence (P > 0.05). ConclusionsEN is a safe, effective, and economical method of nutritional supplements, and it is a preferred method of nutritional support for patients with advanced gastric cancer after operation at prophase, which is worthy to apply widely in clinical.
Objective To research the effect of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) on promoting the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies in order to decrease the incidence of postoperative complications and the days of postoperative hospital stay. Methods Forty patients with gastrointestinal malignancies in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from February 1st, 2009 to June 1st, 2009 were included and allocated to experimental group (20 cases) and control group (20 cases) randomly. Seven days parenteral nutrition was provided to them after operation. Compared with control group, ω-3 PUFA with a dose of 10 g was given to experimental group every day additionally. Blood samples were gained before operation, on the morning of day 2 and day 8 after operation respectively to measure hepatorenal and immune indexes. Temperature before and 1-7 d after operation, time of passing flatus to normal, postoperative complications and the postoperative hospital stay were recorded. Results There was no statistical difference in the baselines between experimental group and control group （Pgt;0.05）. The level of total bilirubin in experimental group was lower and the levels of NK cell and B cell in experimental group were higher than those in control group on day 2 after operation, there were statistical differences between them (Plt;0.05). The levels of ALT, AST and blood urea mitrogen in experimental group were lower and the levels of CD4+ cell and NK cell in experimental group were higher than those in control group on day 8 after operation, there were statistical differences between them, too (Plt;0.05). The time of passing flatus to normal and days of staying in hospital after operation in experimental group were shorter than those in control group, there were statistical differences between them (Plt;0.05). There was no statistical difference in postoperative average temperature and incidence of complications between two groups （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusions ω-3 PUFA has positive influence on the recovery of hepatorenal, immune and gastrointestinal function, and can shorten the days of postoperative hospital stay; but there is no effect on incidence of complications after operation.
Forty critical patients with respiratory failure in the intensive care unit were randomly divided into two groups,Group A with administration of parenteral nutritino(PN) and Group B,no parenteral nutrition given.Blood gas analysis and respiratory monitoring showed that the respiratory rate,pH、PaO2、PaCO2 and HCO3- had no marked difference between the two groups.But in Group A there was a slight decrease of Pao2/FiO2 and a marked increase of A-aDO2 and the pulmonary shunt.This study indicates that the content of fat emulsion and hydrocarbon in PN may be the main factor that affects the respiratory function.
ObjectiveTo investigate the medical knowledge and treatment compliance of parents of asthma children in Gaoming District, Foshan City. MethodOne hundred consecutive parents of asthma children who sought pediatric service in Gaoming People's Hospital from January to December in 2012 were surveyed by the use of Knowledge-Belief-Behavior Questionnaire developed by Capital Research Center of Pediatrics. ResultsNinety-five of the one hundred questionnaires provided useful data for analysis. Among these parents, 63.18% understood the nature of asthma being hyperactive inflammatory disease of the airways; 78.91% believed it to be controllable by regular treatment; only 21.05% of asthma children under parental guidance received inhaled corticosteroids on a regular basis; 14.74% considered their children fit for physical exercises when stabilized; 22.10% chose inhaled β2 agonists as "relievers" during attacks; 61.05% were concerned about the side effects on growth of inhaled corticosteroids and 48.42% discontinued its use against physician's instruction; 82.11% of asthma children had not been evaluated by Asthma Control Questionnaire. ConclusionsParents of asthma children in Gaoming District, Foshan City have weak links in the understanding of this condition. Though most believe it to be controllable under regular treatment, the overall compliance is unsatisfactory. Therefore, knowledge of asthma should be propagated at various public fronts in order to better improve the treatment compliance and consequently the disease control, of asthma children.
