A 59-year-old female with a past medical history of Crohns disease status post total colectomy with ileostomy over 20 years ago came to the hospital due to progressive weakness. Despite medical management, the patient had high ileostomy output, leading to electrolyte disbalance, metabolic acidosis, dehydration, and progressive kidney decline. Due to the high dependence on continuous fluid supplementation, it was decided to place a port for parenteral hydration to maintain fluid replacements and homeostasis after discharge. Prompt initiation of parenteral fluid replacement and close follow-up on patients with ileostomy and intestinal failure is strongly recommended to avoid complications and prevent intestinal, liver, or kidney transplants.展开更多

The effects of enteral nutrition containing long chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT) or L-arginine (Arg) on fat absorbability, serum free fatty acid profiles and intestinal morphology ...The effects of enteral nutrition containing long chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT) or L-arginine (Arg) on fat absorbability, serum free fatty acid profiles and intestinal morphology in rats with short-bowel syndrome (SBS) were studied using gas chromatography. Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: sham operation fed with LCT as control; 85% small bowel resection fed with LCT, MCT/LCT, and Arg/LCT, respectively. SBS rats showed a decrease of fat absorptivity. Enteral nutrition supplemented with MCT could increase fat absorptivity. L-Arginine enhanced enteral nutrition was associated with the elevation of fat absorptivity, possibly due to its enterotrophic effect on remnant small bowel mucosa. LCT group showed a significant deficiency of total free fatty acid and the decreased essential fatty acid content, which was improved in other two SBS groups.展开更多
