ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of traditional Chinese medicine on nutritional status and function of immune in post-esophagectomy patients with esophageal carcinoma.Methods 70post-esophagectomy patients in our hospital were randomly divided into 2 groupsa control group (35 cases)and a observation group (35 cases).The control group were treated with postoperative nutrition programs of our hospital,while the observation group were treated postoperative nutrition programs combined with Chinese traditional medicine group in order to observe and analyze the nutritional status and the function of immune at preoperative and 7 days treatments.Results The TP/ALB/IgG/CD3+were (54.5±18.3)g/L and (50.5±11.8)g/L,(36.3±11.7) g/Land (32.8±12.2)g/L,(8.7±3.1)g/L and (7.5±2.8)g/L,(75.4±12.8)％ and (70.1±12.9) ％ in the observation group and the control group respectively,showing significant difference (P＜0.05).The CD4+/CD8+ were (2.5±0.8)and (2.1 ±0.6)in the observation group and the control group respectively,showing significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion The nutritional status and function of immune in post-esophagectomy patients with esophageal carcinoma were declined.Rational application of traditional Chinese medicine assisted the nutritional status and function of immune in post-esophagectomy patients with esophageal carcinoma.
