Objective To investigate the influence of preoperative enteral nutrition with dietary fiber on the nutritional status of patients with colon colostomy diaplasis, and discuss its safety. Methods Forty preoperative colon colostomy diaplasis patients from West China Hospital treated between September 2013 and June 2014 were randomly assigned into trial group and control group with 20 in each. The baseline of the two groups was the same (all P > 0.05). The trial group was given enteral nutrition with dietary fiber before operation for seven days, while control group was given homogenate diet with equal quantity of energy and nitrogen content for the same period of time. All patients were being tested for nutritional indexes on the day of admission and on the fifth day after surgery. Meanwhile, other indexes such as the first time of flatus and defecation, abdominal distension, bellyache, and other adverse reactions were recorded too. Results There was no statistical difference in nutritional indexes on the day of admission and on the fifth day after surgery between two groups (P > 0.05). Patients with dietary fiber had significantly higher incidence of abdominal distension than the control subjects (P < 0.05), but other adverse reactions had no statistical differences between the two groups (P > 0.05). No anastomotic leakage occurred in both the two groups. Patients with dietary fiber had significantly earlier time of flatus than the control group (P < 0.05). Patients with dietary fiber had significantly lower incidence of diarrhea than the control subjects (P < 0.05). Conclusions The study suggests that it is safe and feasible to use enteral nutrition with dietary fiber for preoperative colon colostomy diaplasis patients. Using dietary fiber is helpful for intestinal function recovery and reduction of the occurrence of adverse reactions after surgery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease (ICVD). MethodsThis cross-sectional study was performed among community residents from an urban community in Chengdu area between September 2011 and June 2012. Questionnaire survey was carried out. Each individual underwent biochemistry analysis and physical examination. In addition, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (BaPWV) and augmentation index (AI) were detected. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationship between LAP and each cardiovascular risk factor. Liner regression model was used to analyze the relationship between LAP and ICVD. ResultsA total of 780 individuals with complete data were included in the analysis. LAP was correlated with blood pressure, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, and BaPWV (P＜0.05). LAP was associated with the risk of ICVD (r=0.253, P＜0.001). After being adjusted with sex, age and other cardiovascular risk factors, LAP was also correlated with the risk of ICVD (r=0.050, P＜0.001). ConclusionsHigh LAP is associated with elevated cardiovascular risks and subclinical vascular damage. In addition, LAP is correlated with ICVD risk, thus it may be used to predict the incidence of ICVD to some extent. However, as the correlation is weak, our study does not support the direct use of this indicator to predict ICVD. Large-sample studies based on different races and ages are needed.
