Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;3(8):356-360
Objective: To discuss the effect of early enteral nutrition support on immunological function in patients with acute stroke. Methods: Forty-nine stroke patients with dysphagia were randomly allocated into study group (n = 24) and control group (n = 25). They were received enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube and ordinary nasal feeding of liguid diet, respectively within 72 hours after admission. The levels of total lymphocyte count (TLC), immune globulin A (IgA), immune globulin G (IgG), immune globulin M (IgM), complement 3 (C3), and complement 4 (C4) in both groups were detected on day 1, 7 and 21 respectively after admission. The changes of nutritional index and the incidence of infective complications were observed. Results: The levels of TLC [(2.1 ± 0.4) × 109/L], IgA [(2.7 ± 0.5) g/L], IgG [(11.1 ± 2.2) g/L], IgM [(1.7 ± 0.7) g/L], and C3 [(1.2 ± 0.2) g/L] in the study group were significantly higher than the levels of TLC (1.7 ± 0.4 × 109/L, P < 0.05), IgA [(2.0 ± 0.4) g/L, P < 0.01], IgG [(8.9 ± 2.5) g/L, P < 0.01], IgM [(1.3 ± 0.6) g/L, P < 0.05], and C3 [(1.0 ± 0.3) g/L, P < 0.01] in the control group after 21 days. The incidence of infective complications in the study group (29.1%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (60.0%; P < 0.05). The nutritive index of the study group was also significantly better than that in the control group. Conclusion: Early enteral nutrition support may improve the immunological function in patients with acute stroke, and decrease the incidence of infective complications.

Objective To study the relationship of serum visfatin level and coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Eighty eight hospitalized patients were enrolled into the study and divided into CHD group(n = 62) and non-CHD control group(n = 26) according to the angiography results; the CHD group was further divided into single-, double-, multi-vessel affected groups. The serum level of visfatin was measured by ELISA,the lesion severity of coronary arteries was assessed by Gensini coronary scoring system, and the correlation between serum visfatin level and coronary lesion severity was evaluated statistically. Results The level of serum visfatin was significantly higher in CHD group than the control group([ 10. 77 ± 2. 63 ] μg/L vs. [ 7. 13 ± 2. 06 ]μg/L,P < 0. 05). The visfatin level increased along with the the number of stenosis vessels(P < 0. 05). The sermn visfatin levels of no stenosis, single-, double-, multi-vessel groups were(7. 13 ± 2. 06) μg/L,(9. 30±2. 19) μg/L,(10. 81 ± 2. 12) μg/L,(12. 79 ± 2. 20) μg/L respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between coronary lesion severity score and serum visfatin level(r = 0. 483, P < 0. 01). Conclusion The visfatin may be directly related to the initiation and development of coronary diseases. The higher level of serum visfatin was, the more severe coronary artery disease would be.
