Objective To investigate the effect of FLEEOX regiment on nutritional status of advanced gastric cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Forty-eight cases of advanced gastric cancer patients from December 2010 to October 2011 in this hospital were included into. The indexes of body composition and the blood related nutritional indicators before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were determined. Results After neoadjuvant chemotherapy，the body weight，intracellular fluid，body mass index，protein，body fat，body cell mass，and arm circumference mildly decreased；extracellular fluid，body water content，inorganic salts，bone mineral content，non-fat group，skeletal muscle，and arm muscle circumference mildly increased，but the differences were not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. The blood albumin，prealbumin，total protein，transferrin，and lymphocytes decreased at different degrees down，but the differences were not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. Conclusion Patients have no obvious changes in nutritional status during chemotherapy of FLEEOX regiment.
Objective To observe the effect of parenteral nutrition (PN) on the protein storage and immunofunction in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods PN regimes consisted of nonprotein calories (NPC) 20-25 kcal/(kg·d) and nitrogen 0.15-0.20 g/(kg·d), the energy ratio of the glucose and fat emulsion was 2∶1. The PN solution was infused by total nutrition admixture (TNA), 12-16 hours per day for 7 days in 21 liver cirrhosis patients. Perior to the surgery and at 1st, 4th, 7th postoperative day, serum pre-Alb, transferrin (TSF), immunofunction (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, CH50, C3, C4, CD3, CD4, CD8, NKC), and nitrogen balance were tested. Results Serum pre-Alb, TSF, nitrogen balance and IgG, IgE, CH50, CD3, CD4, NKC were significantly decreased (Ｐ＜0.05), but the foregoing indices were higher than those of postoperative 1, 4d as compared with postoperative 7d. Conclusion These results bly indicated that postoperative nutritional support is safe and useful, and improve the patient’s nutritional status and immunofunction.
ObjectiveTo explore the impact of the preoperative nutritional status on quality of life of colorectal cancer patients. MethodsIn this study, patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer were enrolled from September 2012 to December 2012 in this hospital.NRS-2002 was used to assess the preoperative nutritional status, and QLQ-C30 was used to assess the quality of life. ResultsForty-four patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups based on NRS-2002 preoperative nutritional status evaluation scores:mild nutritional risk group had 27 patients who got 1 point, and moderate-severe nutritional risk group had 17 patients who got 2 point or over it.Patients in moderate-severe nutritional risk group were significantly older than the mild nutritional risk group (P=0.001), but there were no statistical differences between the two groups in gender (P=0.718), TNM stage (P=0.302), differentiation degree (P=0.564), preoperative medical complications (P=0.070), postoperative complications[NS (not significant)], and stoma (P=0.786).There were no statistical differences between the two groups in quality of life, too (P > 0.05). ConclusionsThis study don't get the conclusion that there is any relationship between nutritional status and quality of life of the colorectal cancer patients.And maybe it is effected by the too small sample size and single time of accessing.Therefore, the further research by expanding sample size, using more kinds of assessment tools, and selecting different time to explore the impact of the preoperative nutritional status on quality of life of colorectal cancer patients are necessary.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of enteral nutrition support on postoperative nutritional status and clinical outcomes in patients with upper digestive tract ulcer perforation. MethodsSeventy-twe patients with upper gastrointestinal ulcer perforation who treated in Heze Municipal Hospital from 2012 to 2014 were randomly divided into early enteral nutrition (EEN) group (n=36) and parenteral nutrition (TPN)group (n=36) according to their different ways of nutrition, the body weight, body mass index, the levels of prealbumin and albumin before operation and on day 7 ofter operation were analyzed. The time of resumption of gastrointestinal function, the time of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, and postoperative complication were recorded. ResultsThere were no significant differences on levels of body weight, body mass index, serum albumin, and prealbumin before operation between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). On day 7 after operation, the levels of body weight, body mass index, prealbumin, and albumin were significantly low in both groups, and the TPN group was decreased more than EEN group (P < 0.05). The inffect complications in EEN group was lower than in TPN group, the time of resumption of gastrointestinal function in EEN group was shorter than in TPN group, and the hospital stay and hospitalization cost in EEN group were both lower than in TPN group, there were significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0.05). ConclusionsEarly postoperative enteral nutrition for the patients with upper gastrointestinal ulcer perforation after operation can be effective to improve the nutrition status, reduce the incidence of infectious complications, promote early recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce hospitalization cost, and accelerate the rehabilitation of patients.
Objective To investigate the status of nutrition, nutritional support, and postoperative nutrition-related complications in patients with spinal deformity during orthopedic perioperative period. Methods From February to August 2021, patients who underwent spinal orthopedic surgery for spinal deformity in Peking University Third Hospital were collected. A survey was conducted using self-designed questionnaire, including patient’s general information (gender, age, and type of spinal deformity), nutrition-related information (risks of malnutrition, forms of nutritional support), and postoperative nutrition-related complications. Results A total of 39 patients with spinal deformity were enrolled, and 46.2% (18 cases) were at risk of malnutrition. There were a total of 174 times of nutritional support, and 96.0% (167 times) were parenteral nutrition. The patients’ energy intake from nutritional support accounted for 34.41% of the daily goal energy intake averagely. At admission, one day after operation, and at discharge, the prealbumin was (215.51±34.69), (172.85±31.85), and (163.67±29.15) mg/L, respectively, and the hemoglobin was (138.08±15.67), (119.92±18.01), and (117.69±14.76) g/L, respectively, which were significantly lower one day after operation and at discharge than those at admission (P<0.01). The incidence of postoperative nutrition-related complications during hospitalization was 5.1% (2/39). Conclusions Patients undergoing spinal deformity orthopedics are at high risk of overall malnutrition during the perioperative period, their clinical nutritional interventions are mostly based on parenteral nutrition with a single infusion of nutritional preparations, and the nutritional status is not significantly improved. However, the incidence of postoperative nutrition-related complications is low. Standardized nutrition interventions should be strengthened in the future.
