Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy of enteral nutrition containing glutamine on improving blood lipids and immune parameters in elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer.Methods 98 cases of elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer were randomly divided into observation group(n=5 1)and control group (n=47).The control group was additionally given conventional enteral nutrition,and the observation group was additionally given enteral nutrition containing glutamine.The levels of albumin (ALB),tumor necrosis factor (TNF),indicators of cellular immunity,indicators of humoral immune function and blood lipid,before and after operation,were observed in the two groups.Results 9 days after operation,the levels of ALB and total cholesterol,per-centage of CD8 + cells were lower than those in the control group,and levels of TFN,IgA,triacylglycerol,low density lipoprotein cholesterin,percentage of CD4 + cells and CD4/CD8 ratio were higher than those in the control group,and have significant differ-ences (P <0.05).While,there was no statistically significant difference of the percentage of CD3 cells between the groups(P >0.05).Conclusion Enteral nutrition containing glutamine can significantly improve blood lipids and immune function in elderly pa-tients with gastrointestinal cancer,which may have important clinical research value and be worthy of further application.
