OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and ADR of Mirabilite combined with intrapetitoneal in the treatment of elderly colorectal malignant ascites. METHODS:77 cases of patients with elderly colorectal malignant ascites were randomly di-vided into treatment group (n=40) and control group (n=37). The control group received the treatment of intraperitoneal alone, while the treatment group was based on the control group additionally received Mirabilite combined with intrapetitoneal. The clini-cal efficacy,quality of life (QOL),and ADR in 2 groups were compared and statistically analyzed. RESULTS:Compared with control group,the effective rate in treatment group was 77.5% and the disease control rate was 87.5%,with significant difference (P<0.05);the QOL score in treatment group was better than control group,with significant difference(P<0.05);the incidence of local ADR in Mirabilite for external use was low. CONCLUSIONS:Mirabilite combined with intraperitoneal has better efficacy in the elderly colorectal malignant ascites and better QOL.

Objective To investigate the application of hypocaloric parenteral nutrition in postoperarive elderly patients with gastric cancer. Methods 59 elderly patients aged 60- 79 years with gastric cancer after operation were randomly assigned to receive 84 kJ · kg -1.d -1 hypocaloric parenteral nutrition (29 cases) and 126 kJ · kg-1 · d -1 standard-calorie parenteral nutrition (30cases),totally 6 d from postoperative 2 d. Complications, serum proteins, immune function,inflammation,blood glucose, liver function and recovery time of gastrointestinal function were observed during nutritional support. Results The postoperative complication rate were 37.9％(11/29) in hypocalorie group and 43.3 ％ (13/30) in standard calorie group ( P＞0.05),mainly pulmonary infection.There were no ditferences in levels of serum albumin,total protein and prealbumin between two groups at postoperative 3 d and 6 d (P＞0.05).Peripheral blood lymphocytes and T lymphocyte subsets CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8- ratio were decreased after sugery,but CD8 1 values increased in two groups (P＞0.05).C reactive protein was increased significantly at postoperative 3 d compared with preoperation,and decreased at 6d than 3 d (P＞0.05).Blood glucose was decreased gradually at 3 and 6 d (P＞0.05).Postoperative liver function paraneters were elevated,no difference was found at 3 d (P＞0.05),and continued to rise at 6 d in standard calorie group than in hypocalorie group (P＜0.05). There was no difference in times of aerofluxus and cacation after operation between hypocalorie and standard calorie groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions Hypocaloric parenteral nutrition is a safe and effective method for nutrition support in postoperative elderly patients with gastric cancer.
