Although nutritional support is yet to be proven to improve mortality in non-malnourished critically ill patients, early enteral feeding is considered best practice. However, enteral feeding is often limited by delayed gastric emptying. The best method to clinically identify delayed gastric emptying and feed intolerance is unclear. Gastric residual volume (GRV) measured at the bedside is widely used as a surrogate marker for gastric emptying, but the value of GRV measurement has recently been disputed. While the mechanisms underlying delayed gastric emptying require further investigation, recent research has given a better appreciation of the pathophysiology. A number of pharmacological strategies are available to improve the success of feeding. Recent data suggest a combination of intravenous metoclopramide and en/thromycin to be the most successful treatment, but novel drug therapies should be explored. Simpler methods to access the duodenum and more distal small bowel for feed delivery are also under investigation. This review summarises current understanding of the factors responsible for, and mechanisms underlying feed intolerance in critical illness, together with the evidence for current practices. Areas requiring further research are also highlighted.展开更多

Methods Forty-one patients underwent gastrectomy were randomly divided into EN group (n=20) and PN group (n=21 ). From the first postoperative day to the seventh day, patients received either EN (EN group) or PN (PN group) with isocalofic (84.9kJ·kg^-1·d^-1) and isonitrogenous (0.11g·kg^-1·d^-1) intake. Serum gastrin (GAS), plasma mofilin (MTL), and plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) were measured on preoperative day, the first and seventh postoperative day. Electrogastrography (EGG) was measured on preoperative day and the seventh postoperative day. Results Compared with preoperafion, blood GAS, MTL, and CCK levels of 41 patients decreased significantly on the first day after subtotal gastrectomy ( P 〈 0. 001 ), but returned to the preoperative levels one week later. EGG after gastrectomy showed that gastric basal electrical rhythm was significantly restrained ( P 〈 0. 001 ). On the seventh day after subtotal gastrectomy, plasma MTL and CCK levels in EN group were higher than those in PN group ( P 〈 0.05 ). There was no difference in GAS level between two groups. EGG in EN group was better than that in PN group postoper- atively. Conclusions The levels of gastroentefitic hormones and the gastric motility decrease significantly after subtotal gastrectomy. In contrast with PN, EN can accelerate the recovery of MTL, CCK, and gastric motility after subtotal gastrectomy.展开更多

METHODS: The CYP2C19 genotype status of Chinese Han healthy volunteers was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Twenty H pylori-negative healthy subjects voluntary participated in the study. They were divided into the following three groups: homozygous extensive metabolizers (homEM), heterozygous extensive metabolizers (hetEM) and poor metabolizers (PM). After they orally received rabeprazole 20 mg once daily in the morning of d 1 and d 8, blood samples were collected at various time-points until 24 h after administration and intragastric pH values were monitored for 24 h by Digitrapper pH. Serum gastrin concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay. Serum concentrations of rabeprazole were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: The mean AUC values for rabeprazole after a single and repeated doses were significantly different between the homEM and PM groups, but not between the homEM and hetEM, or the hetEM and PM groups. No significant differences in intragastric pH medians were observed among the three different genotype groups after a single dose or repeated doses. The ratio of pH medians between d 1 and d 8 ranged from 84% to 108%. The mean gastrin AUC values were also different among the three genotype groups, with a relative ratio of 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5 after a single dose and 1.0, 1.5 and 1.6 after repeated doses in the homEM, hetEM and PM groups, respectively. The gastrin AUC values among the three different genotype groups showed no significant difference either after a single dose or repeated doses. The subject who had lower intragastric acidity showed higher serum gastrin levels and concentrations of rabeprazole. CONCLUSION: In Chinese Han healthy people, the pharmacokinetics of rabeprazole are dependent on the CYP2C19 genotype status, but acid-inhibitory efficacy of rabeprazole and the gastrin level are not influenced significantly.展开更多
