Experienc of nurtitional treatment to 7 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) and nitrogemia after biliarty (tract) surgery is reported in this article. Nittrogen source inn all cases was obtained from "Renal Amine" and "7% Vamin" etc,which are composed of 8 essential amino acids (EAA), and the nergery sources are mainly supplyed by Intralipid (20 or 10%) and suitable amount of glucose. The nutritional admicture of "all in one" were employed as parenteral nutrition (PN). Satisfactary curative effecs in these patients were obtained. The suthors consider that (a) the nutritional treatment of different casuses of ARF should be providing enough energy and more EAA requirments than in normal need to synthesizw non-essential amino acide (NEAA) and protein from excessive blood urea nitrogen (BUN) for redcuing pritein breakdown and nitrogemia, and (b) 20% Intralipid is an effective low-volume, highly calories nutritional agent specially in ARF patients with restiction of waterr.
ObjectiveTo investigate the knowledge of drug safety among parents of some children with epilepsy in Henan Province, and to provide a basic advice for drug safety and health education for children with epilepsy.sMethodUsing a questionnaire to parents of epilepsy children from the Children's Hospital in Henan Province and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in July 2019, a total of 336 questionnaire were conducted by the professionals responsible for after the training, including parents and children basic situation, drug habits and attitudes, medication safety consciousness and antibiotic drug use knowledge.Results320 questionnaire were collected, 314 of which were valid questionnaires, with an effective rate of 98.1%. 66 (21%) of parents chose juice or milk for oral administration, and 87 (27.7%) of parents chose sugar water. 104 (33.1%) of the parents chose to stop the medication immediately after the child's condition improved. 126 (40.1%) of parents believe that combination of two or more antibiotics is more effective, 178 (56.7%) of parents will give their children antibiotics when they have a cold or fever, and more than 254 (80%) of parents are not aware of adverse reactions to antibiotics.ConclusionIn the investigation, the parents of children with epilepsy in Henan Province still have insufficient knowledge of safe drug use, and there are many non-standard drug use behaviors. Local medical professionals for epilepsy should be strengthened to guide and monitor the children and their parents.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of rhGH on hypoalbuminemia in cirrhotic rats after partial hepatectomy. MethodsThirty rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=6), liver cirrhosis group (LC group, n=6), liver cirrhosis and hepatectomy group (LCH group,n=6), PN (parenteral nutrition) group (n=6， given PN after hepatectomy) and rhGH+PN group (n=6,given rhGH and PN after hepatectomy). Liver function and blood glucose were measured. The expression of ALB mRNA was detected by RTPCR. Liver Ki67 immunohistochemistry was studied. ResultsCompared with PN group, serum ALP was lower; serum ALB and blood glucose were higher in rhGH+PN group. The expression of hepatic ALB mRNA was higher, and hepatic Ki67 labeling index was higher as well in this group. ConclusionrhGH can improve hypoalbuminemia after partial hepatectomy in cirrhotic rats with partial hepatectomy.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of enteral nutrition (EN) for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients within 48 hours after admission.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on early EN (starting within 48 hours after admission) in SAP from inception to October, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 12.0 software.ResultsA total of 9 RCTs involving 1 074 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: compared to patients with EN after 48 hours or parental nutrition, the patients given EN within 48 hours after admission had lower mortality (RR=0.53, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.96, P=0.036) and morbidity of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (RR=0.58, 95%CI 0.44 to 0.77, P<0.001). However, no significant differences were found in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (RR=1.00, 95%CI 0.86 to 1.16, P=1.00).Conclusions The current evidence shows that EN within 48 hours after admission can reduce the mortality and morbidity of MODS in SAP patients. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify above conclusions.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of early enteral nutrition (EN) versus parenteral nutrition (PN) for esophagus cancer patients after esophagectomy. MethodsThe following electronic databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 6, 2016), Web of Science, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI were searched from inception to June 2016 to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on comparing early EN and PN for esophagus cancer patients after esophagectomy. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 14 RCTs involving 2 275 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the PN group, the early EN group could improve postoperative levels of albumin (MD=1.12, 95%CI 0.03 to 2.20, P=0.04) and transferrin (MD=10.08, 95%CI 5.41 to 14.76, P<0.000 1), decrease the incidences of pulmonary infection (OR=0.36, 95%CI 0.25 to 0.53, P<0.000 01) and anastomotic leakage (OR=0.57, 95%CI 0.36 to 0.92, P=0.02), but there was no significant difference in postoperative level of prealbumin between two groups (MD=10.04, 95%CI -0.31 to 20.39, P=0.06). ConclusionThe early EN could improve the postoperative levels of albumin and transferrin, decrease the incidences of pulmonary infection and anastomotic leakage, but could not improve the postoperative prealbumin level.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and security of early enteral nutrition (EN) on patients with gastric cancer after radical operation. MethodsSeventy cases who treated in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from Dec. 2008 to Apr. 2013 were randomly divided into EN group (n=35) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group (n=35), analysis and comparison of nutrition indicators and recovery indicators between 2 groups were performed. ResultsThere were no significant differences on levels of count of white blood cell (WBC), serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), and transferring (TRF) before operation between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). On 3 and 7 days after operation, the levels of ALB, PA, and TRF were all higher in EN group (P < 0.05) besides level of count of WBC. In addition, hospital stay and hospitalization cost were both lower in EN group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference on postoperative exhaust time and complication incidence (P > 0.05). ConclusionsEN is a safe, effective, and economical method of nutritional supplements, and it is a preferred method of nutritional support for patients with advanced gastric cancer after operation at prophase, which is worthy to apply widely in clinical.
Forty critical patients with respiratory failure in the intensive care unit were randomly divided into two groups,Group A with administration of parenteral nutritino(PN) and Group B,no parenteral nutrition given.Blood gas analysis and respiratory monitoring showed that the respiratory rate,pH、PaO2、PaCO2 and HCO3- had no marked difference between the two groups.But in Group A there was a slight decrease of Pao2/FiO2 and a marked increase of A-aDO2 and the pulmonary shunt.This study indicates that the content of fat emulsion and hydrocarbon in PN may be the main factor that affects the respiratory function.
ObjectiveTo investigate the medical knowledge and treatment compliance of parents of asthma children in Gaoming District, Foshan City. MethodOne hundred consecutive parents of asthma children who sought pediatric service in Gaoming People's Hospital from January to December in 2012 were surveyed by the use of Knowledge-Belief-Behavior Questionnaire developed by Capital Research Center of Pediatrics. ResultsNinety-five of the one hundred questionnaires provided useful data for analysis. Among these parents, 63.18% understood the nature of asthma being hyperactive inflammatory disease of the airways; 78.91% believed it to be controllable by regular treatment; only 21.05% of asthma children under parental guidance received inhaled corticosteroids on a regular basis; 14.74% considered their children fit for physical exercises when stabilized; 22.10% chose inhaled β2 agonists as "relievers" during attacks; 61.05% were concerned about the side effects on growth of inhaled corticosteroids and 48.42% discontinued its use against physician's instruction; 82.11% of asthma children had not been evaluated by Asthma Control Questionnaire. ConclusionsParents of asthma children in Gaoming District, Foshan City have weak links in the understanding of this condition. Though most believe it to be controllable under regular treatment, the overall compliance is unsatisfactory. Therefore, knowledge of asthma should be propagated at various public fronts in order to better improve the treatment compliance and consequently the disease control, of asthma children.
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of health education on hand, foot and mouth disease knowledge of the parents and their psychological status, in order to provide a reference for regulating clinical intervention measures. MethodsBetween October 2011 and February 2013, self-made questionnaire was used to survey the parents of 286 children with hand, foot and mouth disease for their knowledge about the disease. We promoted health education including distributing pamphlets, holding lectures, and carrying out psychological counseling. Then, parents' knowledge and their psychological status were compared before and after the implementation of health education. ResultsAfter health education, parents' suspicion, anxiety, fear, indulgence in children and other negative psychological scores were significantly lower than those before intervention (P<0.05). Their knowledge on the disease was also significantly enhanced (P<0.05). Gender, age and educational background were the main influence factors for health education. ConclusionMulti-form comprehensive health education can enhance parents' knowledge on hand, foot and mouth disease effectively and alleviate various negative psychological situations, which assists them to participate in the treatment work actively, thus greatly promotes early rehabilitation of the child patients.
Malnutrition is associated with many adverse clinical outcomes, including increased deaths and complications in perioperative period. The immunonutrition support plays an important role in the recovery process of patients with nutritional risk. Reasonable support can efficiently improve the condition of these cases and strongly suppress the inflammatory response. The immuno-nutrients include glutamine, ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, arginine, nucleotides and so on. More and more evidences show that different kinds of immuno-nutrients play a regulatory role in metabolism and inflammatory response in patients with different disease stages and courses, and affect clinical outcomes and prognosis. Nowadays, there is an urgent need to standardize immunonutrition support in clinical work. In this paper, the related literatures about immunonutrition in recent years were reviewed. Our goal is to reduce the number of irregularities in the nutrition support practice, and to help nutritional risk patients achieve better clinical outcomes.
