Objective To evaluate the impact of using alanyl-glutamine dipeptide on clinical outcome for gastric cancer patients with nutritional risk after total gastrectomy. Methods This study was carried out in the period from March to August 2015. The nutritional risk was screened by continuous sampling method in the new hospitalized patients with gastric cancer who would undergo total gastrectomy. The patients were grouped randomly. Alanyl-glutamine was given to the experimental group patients. The clinical data of the two groups were analyzed, such as the laboratory parame-ters of nutritional status and hepatorenal function, complications of surgery, the nutrition-related hospitalization day, etc. Results The preoperative data were consistent in the two groups of the included 40 cases. The results showed, in the third and seventh days after surgery, the level of plasma albumin was higher in the experimental group than in the control group〔(33.9±5.6) g/L vs. (30.8±4.0) g/L and (36.6±3.9) g/L vs. (33.9±4.2) g/L, respectively). Also, the CD4+/CD8+ cells immune index was significantly improved in the experimental group after surgery (1.7±0.7 vs. 1.2±0.3, P < 0.05). The recovery time of intestinal function〔(65.7±5.3) h vs. (71.6±7.2)h, P < 0.01)〕and nutrition-related hospitalization day〔(10.1±1.8) d vs. (11.7±1.9)d, P < 0.01)〕in alanyl-glutamine dipeptide group were shorted than that in the control group. No serious adverse drug reactions were found in the patients during the treatment period. Conclusion Application alanyl-glutamine to the patients with nutritional risk after total gastrectomy could partly improve clinical outcome indicators.
