Control group received parenteral nutrition intervention, and observation group received enteral and parenteral nutritional diet intervention. Cellular immune function, humoral immune function, nutritional status, and complications occurrence rate were compared between two groups.Results: The levels of cellular immune function between the two groups had no difference before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the observation group had higher levels of CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+ as well as lower level of CD8+ than those of control group (P<0.05). The IgM, IgA, and IgG levels between the two groups had no difference before treatment (P>0.05), which were decreased after treatment (P<0.05), and were lower in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). 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.展开更多

Methods: Overweight mothers attending their six-week postpartum follow-up visit and their infants (n = 104 pairs) were randomized to intervention or usual care groups during the time period 2008-2011. Mothers received four 60 minute education sessions with a nutrition professional and eight monthly follow-up phone calls. Counseling began at the obstetrician office and continued at the regularly scheduled pediatric visits. The primary study outcome was the change in maternal target vegetable intake. Secondary outcomes included child target vegetable intake and whether child vegetable intake was modified by exposure to breastfeeding. Mother/child energy intake and weight indices were also assessed. Outcomes were measured at baseline (6-weeks postpartum), 6, 12 (post-intervention), and 18 (follow-up) months. Mixed-effects models were used to estimate the impact of the dietary intervention on study outcomes relative to usual care. Results: Mothers randomized to the intervention had greater consumption of target vegetables at 6, 12 and 18 months (P P P = 0.03, respectively). There were no differences between groups in maternal energy intake, body mass index, or child target vegetable or energy intake. The child’s target vegetable intake at 12 months was related to the mother’s intake at 6 months (P = 0.03), however, this relationship was not modified by exposure to breastfeeding. Conclusion: A dietary intervention targeting the diet of the mother/child dyad resulted in improved maternal vegetable intake.展开更多
