METHODS Eighteen normal Wistar rats and 19 cirrhotic Wistar rats induced by carbon tetrachloride were randomly divided into three groups, i.e., free access to food and drink (group A), TPN (group B) and TPN+carnitine (group C) for one week, respectively. Hepatic function, histology and its fat content were determined on the 7th day. RESULTS Hepatic triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (CHO) contents were significantly higher in groups B and C than in group A, and significantly lower in group C than in group B in both normal and cirrhotic rats (all P <0 05). Histopathological examinations revealed that hepatic steatosis was more severe in group B than in group C in both normal and cirrhotic rats. CONCLUSION Carnitine can ameliorate hepatic steatosis associated with TPN in both non cirrhotic and cirrhotic rats.展开更多

Sixteen patients re-ceived SAMe because of cholestasis after prolongedTPN, and the therapeutic efficacy was observed.Results: Bile flow was obviously decreased and theserum levels of total bile acid and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase(γ-GT) were markedly increased in thehypercalorie and sepsis groups. Meanwhile, hepatocytefatty degeneration, dilatation of cholangioles, and bilesludge could be seen microscopically. SAMe adminis-tration in the hypercalorie+SAMe and sepsis+SAMegroups could increase the bile flow, decrease theserum levels of total bile acid and γ-GT, reduce thepathological damage to the liver, and clear the bilesludge in the cholangioles. Cholestasis and abnormalliver function were the main manifestations of the 16patients before SAMe administration. After SAMe treat-ment for 3 weeks, serum levels of total bilirubin, al-kaline phosphatase(AKP), γ-GT, alanine aminotrans-ferase(ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)were obviously decreased, and normalized in the 4thweek.Conclusion: SAMe could prevent and treat cholestasiswithout discontinuation of TPN.展开更多

METHODS: Forty-eight patients with major abdominal surgery were allocated to two groups to receive isonitrogenous (0.228 g nitrogen/kg per d) and isocaloric (30 kcal/kg per d) TPN for 6 d. Control group (Cony) using conventional TPN solution received 1.5 g amino acids/kg per day, whereas the test group received 0.972 g amino acids/kg per day and 0.417 g L-alanyI-L-glutamine (Ala-GIn)/kg per day. Blood samples were collected on d 1 and d 6 postoperatively for plasma interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-8, and interferon (IFN)-γ analysis. RESULTS: Plasma IL-2 and IFN-γ were not detectable. IL-6 concentrations were significantly lower on the 6^th postoperative day in the Ala-GIn group than those in the Cony group in patients with APACHE Ⅱ≤6, whereas no difference was noted in patients with APACHE Ⅱ〉6. There was no difference in IL-8 levels between the two groups. No difference in cumulative nitrogen balance was observed on d 2-5 after the operation between the two groups (Ala-GIn -3.2±1.6 g vs Cony -6.5±2.7 g). A significant inverse correlation was noted between plasma IL-6 levels and cumulative nitrogen balance postoperatively in the Ala-GIn group, whereas no such correlation was observed in the Conv group. CONCLUSION: TPN supplemented with Gin dipeptide had no effect on plasma IL-8 levels after surgery. However, Gin supplementation had a beneficial effect on decreasing systemic IL-6 production after surgery in patients with low admission illness severity, and lower plasma IL-6 may improve nitrogen balance in patients with abdominal surgery when Gin was administered.展开更多

The complexity of parenteral nutrition solutions containing almost 50 ingredients makes it difficult to measure each of them. On the other hand, the assay of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium is accepted as a quality marker for estimating compounding errors. Thus, the aim of this study was to estimate the influence of ingredients on the accuracy of assays of electrolytes. Experiments were performed with aqueous working simulated solutions of sodium and potassium prepared by the addition of each nutrient step by step, (dextrose, amino acids, lipids, vitamins and trace elements). Sodium and potassium levels were measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The performance of these methods was compared using statistical evaluations (t-test and Mann–Whitney test).The study highlights the interference of amino acids, vitamins and trace elements when measuring sodium, but no interference was noted during the measurement of potassium. To reduce the risk and to improve the quality of compounding, we used an automated compounding device but, even in this case, the acceptance criterion for sodium and potassium determination was not <10%.展开更多

文摘The clinical outcomes of adolescents with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder(ARFID)remain unclear.Furthermore,no report has compared the characteristics of ARFID and restricting-type anorexia nervosa(R-AN)in elementary-school students on total parenteral nutrition(TPN).This study retrospectively reviewed inpatients diagnosed with ARFID or R-AN between 2005 and 2019.Patients with ARFID(two boys and seven girls)and R-AN(13 girls)were hospitalized because of rapid physical deterioration,and nutrition therapy was continued without withdrawal.The ARFID group exhibited significantly lower body weights at admission than the R-AN group and gained an average of 6.5 kg during hospitalization;furthermore,the monthly weight gain during hospitalization was significantly higher,and no relapse was observed.Early physical improvement in ARFID resulted in good recovery.In conclusion,TPN can be easily introduced to patients with ARFID,in whom aversive eating is a concern,and is a suitable treatment for ARFID.
