0.05). All of the indexes in control group were lower on post-operative day 7 than those of pre-operation. The levels of pre-albumin,transferrin, fibronectin, IgG,IgM, CD~+_3, CD~+_4 T cells and nitrogen balance in the study group were significantly higher than those of control group.Negative nitrogen balance began to be positive in the study group on the post-operative day 7. However, the nitrogen balance in the control group was still negative on the post-operative day 10. The duration of hospitalization in the r-hGH group was shorter than that of the control group. The 1-year, 2-year and 3-year survival rates and recurrence rate were not different between two groups.(Conclusions) The post-operative short-term use of the r-hGH plus HPN in patients with excisable gastrointestinal cancer is safe, effective and benefit for the post-operative recovery.

Diagnosis and prevention of fungal infection in severe acute pancreatitis / 中国普通外科杂志

ObjectiveTo study the early diagnosis and prevention of fungal infection in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Method 1.SAP patients from July 1998 to June 2002 were prospectively randomized into 3 groups: garlicin prevention group, fluconazole (low dosage) prevention group and control group, the incidence of fungal infection in SAP was compared between the groups. For fungal infection patients, the fungal clearance and mortality rate were observed. 2.Clinical data of SAP patients with fungal infection and with simple bacterial infection was compared by multivariate logistic regression, and clinical characters and risk factors of fungal infection were evaluated. Results 1.There were lower incidences of fungal infection in garlicin group (16% vs. 30%,P
