ObjectiveTo review the application of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ω-3PUFAs) in patients with gastric cancer.MethodThe related literatures about the application of Ω-3PUFAs in patients with gastric cancer were reviewed by searching domestic and international databases.ResultsΩ-3PUFAs didn’t only improve the perioperative immune function and inflammatory response in patients with gastric cancer, but also prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer, inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, increase the sensitivity of chemotherapy, and reduce the occurrence of chemotherapy-related adverse events.ConclusionsΩ-3PUFAsis an immunological nutrition, which can provide energy and also has functions of anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immunity regulation. It has been widely used in patients with gastric cancer, but the relevant mechanism needs further to be investigated.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of enteral nutrition combined with parenteral nutrition (EN+PN) and enteral nutrition alone (EN) in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy. MethodsPubMed, EMbase, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of EN+PN and EN in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy from inception to September 25th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 23 RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared to EN group, EN+PN group had a shorter hospital stay (MD=−1.75, 95%CI −2.45 to −1.05, P<0.000 1) and a lower risk of postoperative complications (RR=0.55, 95%CI 0.46 to 0.66, P<0.000 1). However, there was no statistical difference in the first exhaust time between the two groups. ConclusionThe current evidence shows that EN+PN may contribute to reducing the incidence of postoperative complications and shortening the length of hospital stay in gastric cancer patients. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
Objective To analyze the research status of immunonutrition in China based on Chinese databases, and to provide a reference for clinical practice and future research. Methods Literatures about the application of immunonutrition in nutrition support were searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, SinoMed, Chongqing VIP and Wanfang databases using bibliometrics methods. The retrieval time was up to August 2022, and the document characteristics such as the number of publications, the institutions and the citation frequency and other features were analyzed. Results A total of 725 literatures were included, with the highest number of literatures issued in 2015 and 2020, both 62. The areas with the most published literatures were Jiangsu (10.6%) and Guangdong (8.4%). The institutions with the most published literatures were General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command (4.8%) and West China Hospital of Sichuan University (3.9%). There were 78 dissertations and 647 journal articles in total. The most published journal was Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition (6.5%). The top three citations were all reviews. The degree of cooperation was 2.7, and the co-authorship rate was 70.1%. A total of 121 articles reported the supporting funds and projects. The research types included 499 original studies (68.8%) and 226 secondary studies (31.2%). The analysis of the subjects showed that immunonutrition was mostly applied to gastrointestinal diseases, especially gastrointestinal cancer patients, accounting for 42.5%. Nutritional support was divided into enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition was adopted in most literatures, accounting for 88.4%. Conclusions The research content of immunonutrition in Chinese database in China is relatively simple. Most of them focus on the comparison between immunonutrition and general nutrition support. The selection of immune nutrients and the application of immunonutrition in critically ill patients such as sepsis need further research.
China is in the best period of development since modern times, and in the face of the “great changes” in the world, China’s medical and health field needs to reconstruct the medical service model actively. Under the guidance of the “Healthy China” strategy in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, full life cycle health service emerged as the times require. The whole life cycle health service is based on the two focuses of the whole population and the whole life cycle, with the main characteristics of “system continuity” and “fair accessibility”, aiming to achieve the overall improvement of the health level of the whole people. This article reviews the concept, connotation and research progress of whole life cycle health service, aiming to implement the strategy of “Healthy China”, so as to provide reference for carrying out the whole life cycle health service with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Objective To observe the effectiveness of IMPACT management mode on self-care and management abilities of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with implantable venous access port (VAP). Methods Breast cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy with VAP at Shangjin Hospital, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between March 2020 and June 2021 were prospectively included. IMPACT mode was used for self-management training guidance. The patient self-care abilities before training and at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months of training were compared, and the patient self-management abilities at 1 month and 3 months of training were compared. Results A total of 74 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy with VAP were included. The total score of self-care ability of patients before training and at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months of training was 112.11±14.63, 123.20±15.73, 127.95±13.89, and 131.92±13.60, respectively, and all the between-time-point differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In terms of self-concept score, all the between-time-point differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) with increasing score over time, except the difference between the score at 3 months of training and that at 2 months of training (P>0.05). In terms of self-responsibility and self-care skill scores, all the between-time-point differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) with increasing scores over time, except the difference between the score at 2 months of training and that at 1 month of training (P>0.05). In terms of health knowledge level, the scores at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months of training were higher than that before training (P<0.05), and the score at 3 months of training was higher than that at 1 month of training (P<0.05). The self-management ability scores in all dimensions at 3 months of training were higher than those at 1 month of training, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The IMPACT management mode can effectively improve the self-care and management abilities of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with VAP, thereby ensuring the normal use of VAP, reducing the occurrence of complications, and reducing the burden on families and society.
ObjectiveTo research and summarize the best evidences of probiotic-riched early enteral nutrition for postoperative liver transplantation, and provide references for precise and individual clinical nutrition and probiotics usage management in patients with liver transplantation.MethodsThe scientific problem was established according to the PIPOST. The British Medical Journal Best Practice, Cochrane Library, Jonna Briggs Institute, Guidelines International Network, National Guideline Clearinghouse, etc. were used to search the papers or relative data recordings. The evidence evaluation and summary were carried out based on the previous documents.ResultsOne evidence summary, 2 systematic reviews, and 5 randomized controlled studies were included. Based on the specific questions, 6 dimensions (24 evidences) were extracted and summarized: the early enteral nutrition was used within postoperative 24 h, starting with 20 mL/h, but not more than 125 mL/h, essential nutrients would be fine and tube feeding would be converted to oral feeding as soon as possible; Lactobacillus 20 mg and Bifidobacterium 15 mg were suggested, 3 times/d, probiotic-riched early enteral nutrition for postoperative liver transplantation should be lasted for at least 14 d.ConclusionsEvidence-based medicine is used to collect the best evidence of probiotic-riched early enteral nutrition for postoperative liver transplantation, there are few studies on early enteral nutrition after liver transplantation in China. Application of the best evidence needs to be analyzed and constructed according to current situation of liver transplantation in China.
