To study the effects of human growth hormone on protein catabolic state of gastric and colonic cancer patients after surgical intervention and whether it can improve the postoperative host immune function and reduce the postoperative fatigue syndrome (POF) by using rhGH. Thirtyeight gastric and colonic cancer patients (21 cases of gastric cancer; 17 cases of colonic cancer) were diveided into control group (n=18) and rhGHtreated group (n=20). All the patients were performed resection and treated by early postoperative intraperitoneal thermochemotherapy (EPIC) and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Subcutaneous injections of 8 U rhGH at 9∶30 am was administered to the rhGHtreated group (six days) at the same time. Results: In the control group, a significant decrease in serum levels of albumin, prealbumin, transferri, IgG, IgA, IgM and CD+3, CD+4, CD+8 were observed after operation (P<0.01). In the rhGHtreated group, CD+3, CD+4 and CD+8 raised significantly and the other did not change significantly. The postoperative vigour state of the patient was better than that in the control group. In the control group, pronouced weight loss of 3-5 kg, was detected on the 10th pastoperative day, while the weight loss was 1-2 kg in the rhGHtreated group (P<0.01). Conclusion: The treatment with rhGH together with TPN and EPIC not only overcomes the protein catabolism of the cancer patient after operation by increasing protein synthesis, but also improves postoperative host immune function, reduces POF, and can raise the killing effect of chemotherapy on cancer cells, enhances the tolerance to chemotherapy.
