The trial of hypocaloric parenteral nutrition combined with recombinant human growth hormone in gastrointestinal tumor patients after operation / 肠外与肠内营养

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the changes in protein metabolism after the use of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) in gastrointestinal tumor patients after operation.Methods:Thirty-nine patients with gastrointestinal tumor were randomly(double-blind) divided into two groups ①the control group(n=20),which was treated with hypocaloric parenteral nutrition and placebo,②the rhGH group(n=19),which was treated with hypocaloric parenteral nutrition and rhGH.The levels IGF-1 and protein metabolism were observed.Results:The concentrations of IGF-1,pre-albumin,transferrin and fibronectin were decreased in the two groups on the 3th day after operation.The administration of rhGH resulted to significant increase in serum levels of IGF-1,pre-albumin,transferrin and fibronectin.Conclusion:The administration of recombinant human growth hormone can increase the protein synthesis and improve the nutritional condition.
