Effect of immune enteral nutrition support on the patients in early stage after severe multiple injury / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the recuperative effect of immunological function and nutritional status on the patients treated by immune enteral nutrition in early stage after severe multiple injury (SMI). Method The patients with SMI,in department of Trauma Surgery,Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology,between January 2006 to May 2007 were randomly divided into 2 groups immune enteral nutrition group (IEN group, 20 cases), enteral nutrition group (EN group, 20 cases). The health persons served as the control group(15 cases) .Since 1st postinjury day, all patients were treated with nutritional support. The T-cell subgroup in periphera blood were detected by FCM and the level of PA, RBP, IL-2 and IL-4 in blood serum were detected by ELASA on the 1st, 3rd,5th, 8th postinjury day. Results After the treatment of IEN and EN,the serum levels of PA, RBP and the proportion of T-cell subgroup were significantly increased on the 8th postinjury day compared with on 1st postinjury day (P ＜ 0.01), but there were no differences between IEN group and EN group. The level of IL-4 were significantly decreased and the level of IL-2 were significantly increased in each group on 8th postinjury day, at same time, the level of IL-2 were significantly increased in IEN group compared with EN group (P ＜ 0.05), and the level of IL-4 were significantly decreased in IEN group compared with EN group (P ＜ 0.05). The duration of SIRS was transient and the infected complication was low on the patients treatment by IEN than EN. Conclusions On the patients with severe multiple injury, IEN was most ascendant than EN to improve the immunosuppression and clinical prognosis.
