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.
Objective To discuss the feasibility and safety of early enteral nutrition (EN) on treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and its influence. Methods The advancement about application of early EN on treatment of SAP in recent years were reviewed. Results In patients with SAP, early EN via catheter placed in the jejunum could protect the integrity of intestinal barrier and reduce infectious complications. But no consensus had been reached about the starting time, ingredient and infusion mode yet. Conclusion Early EN may have positive effects on treatment of SAP, but further researches are still needed.

Methods : A total of 54 postoperative patients with gastrointestinal malignancy were randomly divided into EN group and parenteral (PN) group. Both groups received isocaloric and isonitrogen nutrition support. The serum albumin, transferrin, prealbumin and liver and renal function were measured using standard techniques. The gastrointestinal function and postoperative complications were evaluated. Results : After nutrition support, serum albumin was not significantly different between two groups. Compared with PN group, serum transferrin and prealbumin level significantly increased in EN group (P＜005). The gastrointestinal function in EN group resumed earlier than that in PN group. There was also no difference in liver and renal function and postoperative complications between two groups. Conclusion : The application of early enteral nutrition support is beneficial to the recovery of the gastrointestinal cancer patients after surgery.
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.
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 evaluate the effect of the early enteral nutrition（EEN） on the natural course in dogs with severe acute pancreatitis（SAP）.MethodsSAP model was induced by injecting 1 ml/kg of combined solution of 5% sodium taurocholate and 8 000-10 000 BAEE units trypsin/ml into pancrease via pancreatic duct.Fifteen dogs were divided into parenteral nutrition(PN) group and EEN group.Two groups were isonitrogenous and isocaloric.EEN was used at postoperative 24 h.Systemic plasma endotoxin level was quantified by the chromogenic limulus amebocyte lysate technique.Both portal and systemic blood sample were obtained before and 1，4，7 d following SAP, and cultured for aerobic as well as anaerobic bacterial.Serum glucose, calcium,amylase and lysosomal enzymes were determined.All dogs were injected with 1.85×106 Bq 125IBSA 4 h before sacrificed.The 125IBSA index of the pancreas/muscle and pancreas/blood was measured,and pancreas pathology was observed.Specimens of tissue from mesenteriolum and mesocolon lymph nodes,lung,pulmonary portal lymph nodes and pancreas were removed,weighed and homogenized in grinding tubes.Aliquots of the homogenata were cultured as blood mentioned above.The thickness of mucosa,the whole gut layer,the height of intestinal villi and their protein and DNA contents in the intestinal and transverse colon were determined.ResultsThe study showed that EEN significantly reduced the levels of systemic plasma endotoxin and the magnitude of bacterial translocation to the portal and systemic blood and distant organ,serum glucose in PN group was higher than that in EEN after SAP 4 d.There were no difference between two groups in the data of serum calcium,amylase and lysosomal enzymes,pathologic index and 125IBSA index of pancreas/muscle and pancreas/blood.EEN improved the gut barrier function by increasing the thickness of mucosa,the whole gut layer and the height of intestinal villi,increasing its protein and DNA contents in the bowel.ConclusionOur results suggest that EEN is safe and effective,and can decrease the rate of intestinal bacterial translocation.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of early enteral nutrition in severe thoracic trauma patients requiring mechanical ventilation. MethodsWe randomly allocated 60 patients with thoracic trauma requiring mechanical ventilation into two groups by drawing lots including an early enteral nutrition (EEN) group and a parenteral nutrition (PN) group in our hospital between January 2013 and September 2014 year. There were 30 patients in each group. We compared the recovery results of the patients between the two groups. ResultsAfter the treatment of 7 and 14 days, indicators in the EEN group were better than before significantly and better than those in the PN group; diarrhea rate average days of ICU and the average days of hospital decreased significantly with statistical differences (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in ventilator-associated pneumonia or the incidence of stress ulcer between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionEarly enteral nutrition in severe chest trauma patients requiring mechanical ventilation may promote protein synthesis, improve the nutritional status of patients, correct negative nitrogen balance, reduce inflammation response, reduce the complications.
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 systematically review the incidence and influencing factors of early enteral nutritional feeding interruptions in critically ill patients. MethodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect observational studies on the early enteral nutritional feeding interruptions in critically ill patients from inception to January 2, 2024. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Stata 17.0 software. ResultsA total of 12 studies including 1 121 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of early enteral nutritional feeding interruptions in critically ill patients was 75.0% (95%CI 64.0% to 84.0%). Influenced by feeding intolerance, airway management, tube problems, radiological examination, and endoscopy, surgery and so on, interruptions of early enteral nutritional feeding frequently occur in critically ill patients. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that early enteral feeding interruptions in critically ill patients are affected by many factors, and the incidence is high. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo understand the related application and future development trend of enteral nutrition (EN) support in the treatment of patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ), and provide a reference for clinical decision-making. MethodThe relevant literatures on EN support in the treatment of MOJ at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed. ResultsIn the treatment of patients with MOJ, EN support treatment could maintain the integrity of intestinal mucosal barrier function, reduce intestinal permeability, and reduce bacterial ectopic. At the same time, it could effectively improve the immune function of patients, promote the recovery of liver function, reduce the stress response of patients, reduce the incidence of complications, accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients and shorten the hospitalization time of patients. ConclusionEN support is an important measure in treatment of MOJ, which can obviously promote recovery of patients.
