Effects of glutamine on immune function of patients with severe craniocerebral trauma / 肠外与肠内营养

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effects of nutrition supplemented with glutamine on immune function and systemic inflammatory response in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma.Methods: Forty postoperative patients with severe craniocerebral trauma were randomized into experiment group(n=20) and control group(n=20).All patients received similar nitrogen and calorie for one week.Patients in experiment group were additionally supplemented with glutamine at dose of 0.50 g/(kg?d).Blood samples were obtained for measurement of IgM,IgG,IgA,CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8 before and after nutrition support the systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS)was observed daily,and the serum albumin,transferin,hemoglobin and GCS were detected before and after nutrition support.Results: IgG,IgA,CD4,CD4/CD8,GCS and transferin in experiment group increased significantly after nutrition than in control group.Conclusion: Nutrition supplemented with glutamine may improve immune function,GCS and transferin in patients with severe cranial trauma.
