Methods: A total of 96 patients with esophageal cancer or cardiac cancer who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from June 2007 to December 2010 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into EN group (n=50) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group (n=46) based on the nutrition support modes. The body weight, time to first flatus/defecation, average hospital stay, complications and mortality after the surgery as well as the liver function indicators were recorded and analyzed. Peripheral blood samples were collected on the days 1, 4 and 7 after surgery. The plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) activity and D-lactate level were determined to assess the intestinal permeability. The plasma endotoxin levels were determined using dynamic turbidimetric assay to assess the protective effect of EN on intestinal mucosal barrier. The postoperative blood levels of inflammatory cytokines and immunoglobulins were determined using enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: After the surgery, the time to first flatus/defecation, average hospital stay, and complications were significantly less in the EN group than those in the PN group (P〈0.05), whereas the EN group had significantly higher albumin levels than the PN group (P〈0.05). On the 7th postoperative day, the DAO activity, D-lactate level and endotoxin contents were significantly lower in the EN group than those in the PN group (all P〈0.05). In addition, the EN group had significantly higher IgA, IgG, IgM, and CD4 levels than the PN group (P〈0.05) but significantly lower IL-2, IL-6, and TNF-a levels (P〈0.05). Conclusions: In elderly patients with esophageal cancer or cardiac cancer, early EN after surgery can effectively improve the nutritional status, protect intestinal mucosal barrier (by reducing plasma endoxins), and enhance the immune function展开更多

Methods: A total of 92 elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumor who were admitted in our hospital from June, 2014 to March, 2016 were included in the study and randomized into the control group (n=46) and the treatment group (n=46). The patients in the two groups were given adjuvant chemotherapy 2 weeks after operation and routine enternal nutrition 1 d after operation. On the basis of routine enternal nutrition, the patients in the treatment group were given glutamine granules for intensive treatment. The patients in the two groups were continuously given 10 d nutrition support. The gastrointestinal function recovery and intestinal mucosal barrier recovery before and after operation in the observation group were compared. The levels of related nutrition and immune indicators before and after operation in the two groups were detected and compared. Results: The first exhaust and first defecation time after operation in the treatment group was significantly shortened when compared with the control group. When compared with before operation, L/M and plasma DAO level 1 d and 10 d after operation in the control group were significantly elevated. L/M and plasma DAO level 1 d after operation in the treatment group were significantly elevated, while those 10 d after operation were significantly reduced when compared with before operation. L/M and plasma DAO level 1 d and 10 d after operation in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The serum TP, Alb, PA, and TRF levels 1 d and 10 d after operation in the two groups were significantly elevated when compared with before operation, and those in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group. When compared with before operation, the plasma IgA and IgG levels, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+1 d after operation in the two groups were significantly reduced, while CD8+was significantly elevated. The plasma IgA and IgG levels, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+10 d after operation in the two groups were significantly elevated when compared with 1 d after operation, while CD8+was significantly reduced. Moreover, the plasma IgA and IgG levels, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+10 d after operation in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group or when compared with before operation, while CD8+was significantly lower than that in the control group or when compared with before operation. Conclusions: Glutamine enteral nutrition in the treatment of gastrointestinal tumor in elderly patients can effectively improve the postoperative intestinal mucosal barrier function, promote the postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, correct malnutrition, and enhance the humoral immunity and cellular immunity function, with efficacy significantly superior to that by the routine enternal nutrition.展开更多

文摘The immune response to tissue damage or infection involves inflammation,a multifaceted biological process distinguished by immune cell activation,mediator secretion,and immune cell recruitment to the site of injury.Several blood-based immune-inflammatory biomarkers with prognostic significance in malignancies have been identified.In this issue of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery,they examined the prognosis of liver cancer radical resection in relation to pre-operative systemic immune-inflammation and nutritional risk indices.Comparing older and younger individuals often reveals compromised nutritional and immu-nological statuses in the former.Therefore,performing preoperative evaluations of the nutritional status and immunity in geriatric patients is critical.In addition to being a primary treatment modality,radical resection is associated with a sig-nificant mortality rate following surgery.Insufficient dietary consump-tion and an elevated metabolic rate within tumor cells contribute to the increased proba-bility of malnutrition associated with the ailment,consequently leading to a sub-stantial deterioration in prognosis.Recent studies,reinforce the importance of nu-tritional and immune-inflammatory biomarkers.Prior to surgical intervention,geriatric nutritional risk and systemic immune-inflammatory indices should be prioritized,particularly in older patients with malignant diseases.

文摘AIM:To investigate the effects of early enteral nutrition (EEN) on the immune function and clinical outcome of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).METHODS:Patients were randomly allocated to receive EEN or delayed enteral nutrition (DEN).Enteral nutrition was started within 48 h after admission in EEN group,whereas from the 8 th day in DEN group.All the immunologic parameters and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were collected on days 1,3,7 and 14 after admission.The clinical outcome variables were also recorded.RESULTS:Sixty SAP patients were enrolled to this study.The CD4+ T-lymphocyte percentage,CD4+/CD8+ ratio,and the CRP levels in EEN group became significantly lower than in DEN group from the 7 th day after admission.In contrast,the immunoglobulin G(IgG) levels and human leukocyte antigen-DR expression in EEN group became significantly higher than in DEN group from the 7 th day after admission.No difference of CD8+ T-lymphocyte percentage,IgM and IgA levels was found between the two groups.The incidences of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,systemic inflammatory response syndrome,and pancreatic infection as well as the duration of intensive care unit stay were significantly lower in EEN group than in DEN group.However,there was no difference of hospital mortality between the two groups.CONCLUSION:EEN moderates the excessive immune response during the early stage of SAP without leading to subsequent immunosuppression.EEN can improve the clinical outcome,but not decrease the hospital mortality of SAP patients.
文摘To explore the effect of early enteral nutrition (EN) on postoperative nutritional status, intestinal permeability, and immune 6anction in elderly patients with esophageal cancer or cardiac cancer. Methods: A total of 96 patients with esophageal cancer or cardiac cancer who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from June 2007 to December 2010 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into EN group (n=50) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group (n=46) based on the nutrition support modes. The body weight, time to first flatus/defecation, average hospital stay, complications and mortality after the surgery as well as the liver function indicators were recorded and analyzed. Peripheral blood samples were collected on the days 1, 4 and 7 after surgery. The plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) activity and D-lactate level were determined to assess the intestinal permeability. The plasma endotoxin levels were determined using dynamic turbidimetric assay to assess the protective effect of EN on intestinal mucosal barrier. The postoperative blood levels of inflammatory cytokines and immunoglobulins were determined using enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: After the surgery, the time to first flatus/defecation, average hospital stay, and complications were significantly less in the EN group than those in the PN group (P〈0.05), whereas the EN group had significantly higher albumin levels than the PN group (P〈0.05). On the 7th postoperative day, the DAO activity, D-lactate level and endotoxin contents were significantly lower in the EN group than those in the PN group (all P〈0.05). In addition, the EN group had significantly higher IgA, IgG, IgM, and CD4 levels than the PN group (P〈0.05) but significantly lower IL-2, IL-6, and TNF-a levels (P〈0.05). Conclusions: In elderly patients with esophageal cancer or cardiac cancer, early EN after surgery can effectively improve the nutritional status, protect intestinal mucosal barrier (by reducing plasma endoxins), and enhance the immune function

文摘Enteral nutrition has been strongly recommended by major scientific societies for the nutritional management of patients with acute pancreatitis.Providing severe acute pancreatitis patients with enteral nutrition within the first 24-48 h of hospital admission can help improve outcomes compared to parenteral nutrition and no feeding.New research is focusing in on when and what to feed to best improve outcomes for acute pancreatitis patients.Early enteral nutrition have the potential to modulate the immune responses.Despite this consistent evidence of early enteral nutrition in patients with acute pancreatitis,clinical practice continues to vary due to individual clinician preference.Achieving the immune modulating effects of enteral nutrition heavily depend on proper placement of the feeding tube and managing any tube feeding associated complications.The current article reviews the immune modulating effects of enteral nutrition and pro-and prebiotics and suggests some practical tools that help improve the patient adherence and tolerance to the tube feeding.Proper selection of the type of the tube,close monitoring of the tube for its placement,patency and securing its proper placement and routine checking the gastric residual volume could all help improve the outcome.Using peptide-based and high medium chaintriglycerides feeding formulas help improving feeding tolerance.

The albumin and prealbumin levels between the two groups had no difference before intervention (P>0.05), which were increased after treatment, and were higher in observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of enteral and parenteral nutritional diet intervention can promote the recovery, improve the nutritional status and immune function for gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy, which has fewer complications.
文摘Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of glutamine enteral nutrition in the treatment of gastrointestinal tumor in elderly patients and the effect in improving the nutrition and immunity. Methods: A total of 92 elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumor who were admitted in our hospital from June, 2014 to March, 2016 were included in the study and randomized into the control group (n=46) and the treatment group (n=46). The patients in the two groups were given adjuvant chemotherapy 2 weeks after operation and routine enternal nutrition 1 d after operation. On the basis of routine enternal nutrition, the patients in the treatment group were given glutamine granules for intensive treatment. The patients in the two groups were continuously given 10 d nutrition support. The gastrointestinal function recovery and intestinal mucosal barrier recovery before and after operation in the observation group were compared. The levels of related nutrition and immune indicators before and after operation in the two groups were detected and compared. Results: The first exhaust and first defecation time after operation in the treatment group was significantly shortened when compared with the control group. When compared with before operation, L/M and plasma DAO level 1 d and 10 d after operation in the control group were significantly elevated. L/M and plasma DAO level 1 d after operation in the treatment group were significantly elevated, while those 10 d after operation were significantly reduced when compared with before operation. L/M and plasma DAO level 1 d and 10 d after operation in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The serum TP, Alb, PA, and TRF levels 1 d and 10 d after operation in the two groups were significantly elevated when compared with before operation, and those in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group. When compared with before operation, the plasma IgA and IgG levels, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+1 d after operation in the two groups were significantly reduced, while CD8+was significantly elevated. The plasma IgA and IgG levels, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+10 d after operation in the two groups were significantly elevated when compared with 1 d after operation, while CD8+was significantly reduced. Moreover, the plasma IgA and IgG levels, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+10 d after operation in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group or when compared with before operation, while CD8+was significantly lower than that in the control group or when compared with before operation. Conclusions: Glutamine enteral nutrition in the treatment of gastrointestinal tumor in elderly patients can effectively improve the postoperative intestinal mucosal barrier function, promote the postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, correct malnutrition, and enhance the humoral immunity and cellular immunity function, with efficacy significantly superior to that by the routine enternal nutrition.
