ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of long-chain fat emulsion in parenteral nutrition therapy on the perioperative nutritional status of patients with low rectal cancer.Methods:A total of 204 patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery in the Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2017 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the specific nutritional treatment methods, 100 cases in the study group used long-chain fat emulsion for parenteral nutrition support, and 104 cases in the control group used medium- and long-chain fat emulsion injection. After admission, the nutritional status of patients were evaluated according to the results of Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and related laboratory tests. At 7th day before the operation, the patients were treated with nutrition and electrolyte support. Parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition combined treatment and early enteral nutrition were given after the operation. The albumin, prealbumin, retinol-binding protein, total cholesterol and body mass index (BMI) at 7th day before the operation, 1st day after the operation and 7th day after the operation and the patient's first exhaust time after surgery, occurrence of postoperative complications, postoperative fever and total hospital stay were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:Postoperative first exhaust time [(42±11) h vs. (54±10) h], fever time [(48±8) h vs. (57±7) h], total hospital stay [(16.0±0.7) d vs. (18.0±0.9) d)], resting energy expenditure at the 7th day after surgery [(5 326±589) kJ/d vs. (5 840±599) kJ/d] and total cholesterol at the 7th day after surgery [(4.8±0.3) mmol/L vs. (5.0± 0.4) mmol/L] in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and albumin [(33±3) g/L vs. (28± 3) g/L], prealbumin [(0.189±0.041) g/L vs. (0.164±0.037) g/L] and retinol-binding protein [(0.039±0.016) g/L vs. (0.032±0.013) g/L] at the 7th day after surgery in the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in other detection indexes between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:The use of long-chain fat emulsion in low rectal cancer patients with malnutrition during the perioperative period may be more conducive to the recovery of the body.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of lipid peroxidation and anti-lipid peroxidation and the pigment in skin of C57BL/6 mice exposed to arsenic.Methods Forty male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups via the random number table method,ten mice in each group,and the mice were fed ad libitum drinking water containing arsenic at 0,1,5 and 25 mg/L concentrations for a period of 6 weeks,respectively.Twelve days before the end of the experiment,procedure of depilation was performed to induce anagen of hair cycle.On the 30th day of experiment,the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was determined by nitrite method,the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) was determined by dithiobisobenzoic acid method,the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in skin of C57BL/6 mice was determined by thiobarbituric acid method.Melanin was measured by NaOH dissolution method.Results No significant difference was found in body weight and water intaken between groups (F =0.119,0.363,P ＞ 0.05).The activity of SOD [(16.00 ± 5.05),(13.96 ± 2.02),(10.46 ± 3.14) U/mg prot] in 1,5 and 25 mg/L arsenic groups were all significantly lower than that in control group [(20.36 ± 4.82) U/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05].GSH-Px activity in 1,5 and 25 mg/L arsenic groups [(98.14 ± 23.92),(87.18 ± 10.87),(53.56 ± 19.97) U/mg prot] were all significantly lower than that in control group [(119.34 ± 33.14) U/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05].While MDA levels in 5 and 25 mg/L arsenic groups [(9.09 ± 2.04),(11.48 ± 2.21) nmol/mg prot] were significantly higher than that of control group [(6.19 ± 0.56) nmol/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05] and that of 1 mg/L arsenic group [(6.52 ± 1.67) nmol/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference was found in melanin levels (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Lipid peroxidation and the decreasing of antioxidation may be one of the mechanisms of arsenic-induced skin damage.Arsenic-induced skin melanin content change is not found.
