Objective To summarize the therapeutic effect of recombinant human growth hormone and early enteral nutrition in severely burned patients. Methods 35 cases were randomly divided into group EN and group PN.Group EN was treated with early enteral nutrition(EEN) and recombiant human growth hormone(rhGH) ,while group PN was given parenteral nutrition. The plasma levels of pre-albumin (PA), C-reactive protein (CRP) , tunmor necrosis factor α(TNFα) ,fasting blood glucose(FBG) were measured after burn injury. Comparision was made in length of hospital stay, wound healing time,incidence of burn sepsis, gastrointestinal stress ulcer bleeding and enteral nutrition intoleranc. Results Incidence of burn sepsis,gastrointestinal stress ulcer bleeding and enteral nutrition intoleranc in group EN were significantly lower than those of group PN(P ＜ 0.05). The serum levels of CRP、TNFα、FBG in group EN were significantly lower than those of group PN (P ＜ 0.05). The serum PA was decreased at all times in two periods and was markedly decreased in group EN(P ＜0.05). Length of hospital stay and the healing time of donor site, deep partial thickness burn wound, skin transplantion area were significantly shortened in group EN compared with group PN. Conclusion Early enteral nutrition was beneficial for the improving of nutrition state of the burn patients,and the reduction of the incidence of burn sepsis and the hospitalization time.

Objective To analyze the effect of a combined strategy of enteral nutrition in the prevention and treatment of patients with severe bum sepsis. Methods 46 cases were random divided into combined group (group C) and routine group (group R). Besides general supportive treatment,group C was treated with early enteral feeding (EEF) ,recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and gluta-mine (Gln), while group R was given general supportive treatment only. The plasma concentration levels of pre-albumin (PA) , C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and tumor necrosis factora (TNFα) were measured immediately after hospitalization and postbum day (PBD)7, 14,28. Results The survival rate of group C was significantly higher than group R. The incidence of sepsis, the complication of heart and gastrointestin in group C was significantly lower than group R ( P < 0. 01 ～ 0.05). The days in hospitalization of group C was shorter than that of group R. Plasma PA levels was decreased in two groups and was markedly decreased in the group R( P < 0. 01 ～ 0.05). Plasma CRP, PCT and TNFαlevels were both increased in two groups and markedly increased in the group R ( P < 0.001 ～ 0.05). Conclusions We have shown that a combined method including rhGH, EEF, Gln and anisodamin can effectively reduce the morbidity and mortality rates of burn sepsis and improve prognosis.

Male infertility (MI) and male sexual dysfunction (MSD) can often coexist together due to various interplay factors such as psychosexual, sociocultural and relationship dynamics. The presence of each form of MSD can adversely impact male reproduction and treatment strategies will need to be individualized based on patients’ factors, local expertise, and geographical socioeconomic status. The Asia Pacific Society of Sexual Medicine (APSSM) and the Asian Society of Men’s Health and Aging (ASMHA) aim to provide a consensus statement and practical set of clinical recommendations based on current evidence to guide clinicians in the management of MI and MSD within the Asia-Pacific (AP) region. A comprehensive, narrative review of the literature was performed to identify the various forms of MSD and their association with MI. MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for the following English language articles under the following terms: “low libido”, “erectile dysfunction”, “ejaculatory dysfunction”, “premature ejaculation”, “retrograde ejaculation”, “delayed ejaculation”, “anejaculation”, and “orgasmic dysfunction” between January 2001 to June 2022 with emphasis on published guidelines endorsed by various organizations. This APSSM consensus committee panel evaluated and provided evidence-based recommendations on MI and clinically relevant MSD areas using a modified Delphi method by the panel and specific emphasis on locoregional socioeconomic-cultural issues relevant to the AP region. While variations exist in treatment strategies for managing MI and MSD due to geographical expertise, locoregional resources, and sociocultural factors, the panel agreed that comprehensive fertility evaluation with a multidisciplinary management approach to each MSD domain is recommended. It is important to address individual MI issues with an emphasis on improving spermatogenesis and facilitating reproductive avenues while at the same time, managing various MSD conditions with evidence-based treatments. All therapeutic options should be discussed and implemented based on the patient’s individual needs, beliefs and preferences while incorporating locoregional expertise and available resources.
