Objective To explore the clinical value of early enteral nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy/jejunostomy (PEG/J).Methods Treatment condition of nighty patients with SAP were retrospectively analysed.The 90 patients were collected peripheral venous blood respectively on 1, 12, and 18 d after admission to hospital.Forty-five of them were in PEG/J group, the others were in control group. Serum IL-6,TNF-α and endotoxin were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),CD4 /CD8 was determinated by indirect immunofluorescence staining method (FITC-labeled).Results On 12 d and 18 d,the levels of serum IL-6, TNF-α, and endotoxin in PEG/J group were lower than those in control group (P<0.01).The CD4 /CD8 was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01).In control group, 2 cases complicated upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage,4 cases complicated pancreatic pseudocysts, and 2 cases complicated double infection, the temperature became normal after about 13.5 d.In PEG/J group, there were not upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage and double infection,but 2 cases also complicated pancreatic pseudocysts, the temperature became normal after about 10.5 d.Conclusion The clinical effectiveness of early enteral nutrition in SAP by PEG/J is satisfactory.
Objective To study the effect of Fe 3+ -modified carborymethyl celluiose (Fe 3+ -CMC ) on preventing postoperative adhesion and inhibiting the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in the injured parts of postoperative peritoneum. Methods Fourty Wistar mice were divided into 2 groups randomly, and abdominal adhesion models were made, then 0.9% NaCl (control group) and Fe 3+ -CMC (experimental group) were sprayed into the wound surface of abdominal cavity. All mice were killed to observe the adhesion condition on day 14 after operation. Another 120 Wistar mice were divided into 2 groups randomly, and abdominal adhesion models were made as mentioned above. Ten mice were killed which were chosen randomly from 2 groups on day 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 60, respectively. The expressions of TNF-α and FGF in the peritoneal injured and adhesion tissues were observed by immunohistochemistry technique. Results The adhesion grade in experimental group was much lower than that in control group ( P < 0.01). The expression of TNF-α (day 3-7 after operation) and FGF (day 5-7 after operation) in experimental group were lower than those in control group ( P < 0.05).Conclusion Fe 3+ -CMC can decrease postoperative adhesion grade and prevent the expressions of TNF-α and FGF in injured parts of postoperative peritoneum.
