RESUMEN
Objective To study the effect of rice oil on secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) content in feces and disease outcome in children with acute diarrhea.Methods We selected 180 children with acute diarrhea hospitalized in Tianjin Children's Hospital during the period from January 2013 to October 2014.They were randomly divided with a random number table into rice oil group,montmorillonite powder group and control group (all n =60).The effect of treatment,duration before subsiding of diarrhea and vomit,length of hospital stay and sIgA content in feces before and after treatment were analyzed.Results The total effective rates in the rice oil group and the montmorillonite powder group (93.3％,96.7％) were significantly higher than that in the control group (76.7％,P =0.011,P =0.001).Length of hospital stay,duration before subsiding of diarrhea and vomit in the rice oil group and the montmorillonite powder group were significantly shorter than those in the control group[(5.6±1.4) d,(5.7±1.6) d vs.(6.9±1.8) d;(3.7±0.9) d,(3.5±0.9) d vs.(5.4±1.2) d;(2.8 ± 0.6) d,(3.2 ± 0.8) d vs.(5.1 ± 0.8) d;all P =0.000].The total effective rates,length of hospital stay,duration before subsiding of diarrhea showed no statistically significant differences between the rice oil group and the montmorillonite powder group (P =0.402,0.716,0.226),but the duration before subsiding of vomit in the rice oil group was significantly shorter than that in the montmorillonite powder group (P =0.016).Before treatment,the sIgA contents in feces in the control group,the montmorillonite powder group,the rice oil group were 0.527 ± 0.133,0.487 ± 0.109,0.534 ± 0.150,with no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Two days after treatment,sIgA contents in the rice oil group and the montmorillonite powder group (0.669 ±0.176,0.612 ± 0.161) were significantly higher than in the control group (0.541 ±0.149,P =0.000,0.014).There was no significant difference between the montmorillonite powder group and the rice oil group (P =0.067).Four days after treatment,sIgA content in the montmorillonite powder group (1.981 ±0.462) was significantly higher than in the control group (1.762 ±0.378,P =0.005),while sIgA content in the rice oil group (2.331 ± 0.494) was significantly higher than in the other 2 groups (P =0.000).Compared with the levels before treatment,sIgA content 2 days after treatment was not significantly changed in the control group (P =0.295),but was significantly elevated in the montmorillonite powder group and the rice oil group (both P =0.000).sIgA contents of all the three groups 4 days after treatment were significantly higher than the contents 2 days after treatment (all P =0.000).Conclusion The effect of rice oil on acute diarrhea in children is as same as that of montmorillonite powder,and may be better in mitigating vomit and promoting the secretion of intestinal sIgA.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of amino acid-based formulae (AAF) combined with rice oil in treating children with persistent diarrhea caused by cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA).Methods We selected 60 infants (6-12 months) with CMPA-induced persistent diarrhea treated in Tianjin Children's Hospital between April 2011 and December 2013 and divided them into control group (n =30) and observation group (n =30) with a random number table.The control group was given AAF treatment,while the observation group was given the combination treatment of AAF + rice oil The two groups were compared in terms of treatment efficiency,period before improvement of stools,antidiarrheal time,early adverse reactions (vomit,abdominal distension),and the period before disappearance of systemic symptoms (frequent crying).Results The effective rate was 89.3％ in the control group and 96.7％ in the observation group,with no statistically significant difference (P =0.267).Adverse reactions disappeared significantly earlier in the observation group than in the control group [abdominal distension:(7.2 ± 1.7) days vs.(9.4 ±2.3) days; vomit:(8.6 ±2.5) days vs.(12.5 ±2.0) days; frequent crying:(8.0 ± 1.6) days vs.(10.0 ± 2.1) days; all P =0.000].Conclusions AAF is the first choice to treat CMPA-induced diarrhea.Early use of AAF in combination with rice oil could achieve better feeding tolerance in infant with CMPA-induced diarrhea.
RESUMEN
Avaliou-se o efeito da suplementação com óleo de arroz sobre o peso e perfil hematológico de equinos submetidos a exercício físico moderado. Foram utilizados 14 equinos machos, com peso aproximado de 411kg, distribuídos entre o grupo tratado (GT; n=7), suplementado com óleo de arroz adicionado diariamente à dieta (0,5ml/kg/PV), e o grupo-controle (GC; n=7), tratado com óleo de soja (0,5ml/kg/PV). Foram feitas três avaliações: antes do início e aos 20 e 40 dias após o início do tratamento, as quais consistiram de determinação do peso, exame clínico e coleta de amostras de sangue dos animais, antes e após o exercício, para hematócrito, hemograma, dosagem de glicose, lactato e proteína total. Não houve diferença entre grupos e nem entre avaliações quanto às variáveis peso e proteína total. A glicose aumentou significativamente após o exercício na segunda coleta no GC e na terceira no GT. No GC, o lactato aumentou nas coletas após o exercício, enquanto no GT, os valores foram semelhantes antes e após. A suplementação com óleo de arroz na dieta foi determinante para impedir o aumento de lactato em equinos submetidos a exercício, o que pode ser relevante para aumentar o seu desempenho atlético.
The effect of the supplementation with rice oil was evaluated on the weight and hematologic profile of equines submitted moderate physical exercise. Fourteen male equines, averaging 411kg, were distributed into treated group (GT; n=7), supplemented daily with rice oil added to the diet (0.5ml/kg/BW); and control group (GC; n=7), treated with soybean oil (0.5ml/kg/BW). Three evaluations were made before the treatment, and 20 and 40 days after the beginning of the treatment, consisting of the determination of the weight, the clinical examination, and the collection of blood samples before and after the exercise for hematocrit, hemogram, glucose, lactate, and total protein determinations. There was no difference between the groups, neither between evaluations for weight nor total protein. The glucose increased significantly after the exercise in the second collection in the GC and in the third in the GT. The GC lactate increased significantly in the collections after exercise; while in the GT, the results were similar before and after treatments. The supplementation of the diet with rice oil was determinant to hinder the lactate increase in the animals submitted to exercise, what could be relevant to increase their athletic performance.
