ObjectiveTo compare the clinical effects of enteral nutrition via stoma of jejunum or nasal-jejunum tube after Whipple procedure. MethodsEighty-seven patients performed Whipple procedure were divided into nasaljejunum tube group(n=47)and stoma of jejunum group(n=40)according to the different enteral nutrition methods. The adverse reactions such as vomiting, abdominal distension, pharyngeal pain, and hypostatic pneumonia, anastomotic leakage, hospital stay, hospitalization expenses, and serum glucose and electrolyte(CL-, Na+, K+)on day 1, 3, 5 after operation were compared between two groups. ResultsCompared with the nasal-jejunum tube group, the rates of adverse reactions and hypostatic pneumonia were more lower(P < 0.05), the hospitalization expense was more less (P < 0.05) in the nasal-jejunum tube group. The rate of anastomotic leakage and hospital stay had no significant differences between the nasal-jejunum tube group and stoma of jejunum group(P > 0.05). The differences of serum glucose and electrolyte(CL-, Na+, K+)on day 1, 3, 5 after operation were not statistically significant between two groups(P > 0.05). ConclusionsEnteral nutrition via the stoma of jejunum after Whipple procedure has some better clinical effects in reducing adverse reactions such as vomiting, abdominal distension, pharyngeal pain, hypostatic pneumonia. The hospitalization expenses are decreased. There are no obvious effects on the hospital stay, blood glucose and electrolyte concentration on day 1, 3, 5 after operation.
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the oxygen partial pressure of mice hindlimb muscles with normal blood supply or ischemia and expression of HIF-1αprotein, and to provide a theoretical basis for the study of angiogenesis in vitro hypoxia. MethodsMice hind limb ischemia model were established, tissue oxygen tension of gastrocnemius muscle and bone marrow were measured by micro electrode at different time points of ischemia (24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and unoperated as control). Protein level of hypoxia inducible factor-1αand histological examination were performed on gastrocnemius muscle as well. ResultsThe oxygen tension baselines of gastrocnemius muscle and femoral bone marrow was (47.78±4.37) mm Hg and (21±3.40) mm Hg, respectively. Muscle oxygen tension decreased significantly at all time points after modeling (P < 0.05), and reached lowest level in 1 week of ischemia. The inflammatory reaction was most serious and HIF-1αprotein reached highest level at the same time point. With the extension of ischemic time, the tissue oxygen tension recovered while HIF-1αlevel was down-regulated, however, There was no statistical correlation(r=-0.86, P > 0.05). Oxygen tension in bone marrow didn't show any significant change at all time points. ConclusionsThe expression level of HIF-1αprotein in ischemic tissue can reflect the degree of ischemic limb. The concept that physiological oxygen level differs in different tissue is highlighted, and may provide basis for ex vivo hypoxic research.
