Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(10):852-857
Objective To investigate the value of guidance and clinical significance of enteral nutritional support therapy using a joint of nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) and a screening tool for controlling nutritional status (CONUT) after radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 180 patients who underwent radical resection of colorectal cancer at the Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between June 2012 and June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Seventy patients with scores of NRS 2002 ≥ 3 were allocated into the A group including 40 with enteral nutritional support therapy in the A1 group and 30 without enteral nutritional support therapy in the A2 group, 60 patients with scores of NRS 2002 < 3 and negative CONUT was allocated into the B group including 30 with enteral nutritional support therapy in the B1 group and 30 without enteral nutritional support therapy in the B2 group, 50 patients with scores of NRS 2002 < 3 and positive CONUT was allocated into the C group including 25 with enteral nutritional support therapy in the Cl group and 25 without enteral nutritional support therapy in the C2 group.The nutritional status of patients was evaluated using a joint of NRS 2002 and CONUT.There was nutritional risk in patients with scores of NRS 2002≥3 or scores of NRS 2002 < 3 and positive CONUT and no nutritional risk in patients with scores of NRS 2002 < 3 and negative CONUT.Patients and their families would choose whether or not to undergo enteral nutritional support therapy after the risks being informed.Enteral nutritional support therapy included tube feeding enteral nutrition or oral nutriments with calories ≥41.84 k J/(kg · d) for more than 3 days.Observed indicators: (l)Nutritional indicators included fasting serum albumin (Alb), prealbumin and transferrin before operation, at postoperative day 1 and day 7.(2)Postoperative recovery included time to anal exsufflation, time of defecation, time for semifluid diet intake and duration of hospital stay.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s, comparison among groups was analyzed using the t test and repeated measures ANOVA, and count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results Patients in A, B and C groups had good tolerance without abdominal pain, abdominal distension and diarrhea.Comparisons of nutritional indicators: the levels of fasting serum Alb, prealbumin and transferrin in the A1 group were (29 ±4)g/L, (0.25 ±0.06)g/L and (2.0 ±0.4)g/L before operation, (27 ±4)g/L, (0.19 ± 0.07) g/L,

operation, (26 ± 4) g/L, (0.16 ± 0.05) g/L and (1.7 ± 0.4) g/L at postoperative day 1 and (25 ± 4) g/L,(0.16 ±0.04) g/L and (1.8 ±0.5)g/L at postoperative day 7, respectively.There were significant differences in the changing trends of the above 3 indicators between the 2 groups (F =5.625, 4.225, 8.221, P <0.05).Postoperative recovery: time to anal exsufflation, time of defecation, time for semifluid diet intake and duration of hospital stay were (1.9 ± 0.5) days, (2.3 ± 0.5) days, (8.6 ± 1.2) days, (14.7 ± 1.1) days in the A1 group and (3.0 ± 0.5) days, (4.5 ± 0.6) days, (11.4 ± 2.2) days, (17.8 ± 1.3) days in the A2 group, respectively,with significant differences between the 2 groups (t =-0.644,-12.200,-8.710,-11.650, P < 0.05).Time to anal exsufflation, time of defecation, time for semifluid diet intake and duration of hospital stay were (1.2 ± 0.3)days, (3.2 ±0.7)days, (10.3 ± 1.4)days, (14.7 ±2.0)days in the B1 group and (1.5 ±0.5)days, (3.7 ± 0.6) days, (11.0 ± 1.2) days, (16.1 ± 1.5) days in the B2 group, respectively, with no significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-1.929,-1.033,-1.019,-1.171, P >0.05).Time to anal exsufflation, time of defecation, time for semifluid diet intake and duration of hospital stay were (1.8 ± 0.7) days, (2.1 ± 0.5) days,(7.6±1.2)days, (13.9 ±1.2)days in the C1 group and (3.1 ±0.5)days, (4.5 ±0.7)days, (11.4±2.4)days,(17.6 ± 1.3) days in the C2 group, respectively, with significant differences between the 2 groups (t =-5.934,-10.950,-10.010,-11.700, P < 0.05).Conclusions A joint application of NRS2002 and CONUT after radical resection of colorectal cancer is exact and feasible for evaluating nutritional status of patients and guiding enteral nutritional support therapy.Patients should select nutritional support therapy after operation if there is nutritional risk.The proper nutritional support therapy can improve the postoperative nutritional status of patients with colorectal cancer, enhance the postoperative recovery and reduce the duration of hospital stay.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;(12):1144-1147
Femtosecond laser is mainly used in corneal refractive surgery.In recent years,the progress of the entire process of femtosecond laser makes a dramatic change and development of corneal refractive surgery.Photoinduced decomposition of femtosecond laser can ionize human tissue and accurately carry out intratissue cutting with less influence for the outside area of target site.So it is proved to have a high safety in clinical application.Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and lens refractive surgery is going to be a new stage in ophthalmology,and its application in cataract extraction includes the cutting of clear corneal incision and anterior capsula of lens as well as cutting up of lens nuclei.The advancement of femtosecond laser in lens refractive surgery mainly is the correction of presbyopia.The progress of femtosecond laser in lens surgery was summarized.
7.Prevention and treatment of carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae infection in neonates
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2021;28(2):92-97
Carbapenem-resistance is an emerging problem in Chinese neonatal intensive care units.Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae(CRE)can hydrolyze almost all β-lactam antibiotics including carbapenems by producing carbapenemase.There are three groups of carbapenemases, namely Amber A, B and D groups, which have different hydrolytic activities to specific β-lactam antibiotics.Currently, Chinese NICUs have been facing high colonization and infection rates of CRE, with high fatality rate and rapid transmission.The treatment of neonatal CRE infections is extremely difficult.The limited choice of antibiotics, the lack of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data and the uncertainty of the optimal dose and interval bring great challenges to the effective therapy of neonatal CRE infections.The main antimicrobial agents for CRE in adults and children include carbapenems, ceftazidime/averbactam, fosfomycin, polymyxin, aztreonam, etc., but there are few studies in neonates.Once infants are colonized or infected by CRE, decolonization and treatment are very difficult.Therefore, strict implementation of infection control and neonatal antimicrobial stewardship programs to reduce CRE production, transmission and infection, are the most important measures to cope with the prevalence of CRE.
8.Evaluation of gastric lavage effi ciency and utility using a rapid quantitative method in a swine paraquat poisoning model
World Journal of Emergency Medicine 2020;11(3):174-181
BACKGROUND: Gastric lavage (GL) is one of the most critical early therapies for acute paraquat
(PQ) poisoning; however, details of the treatment protocol remain to be established.
METHODS: A rapid quantitative method involving sodium dithionite testing was developed.
It was validated for the determination of the PQ concentrations in gastric juice and eluate samples
from a swine acute PQ poisoning model with early or delay GL, or without. The vital signs, laboratory
testing, and PQ plasma concentrations were collected for therapeutic effect evaluation.
RESULTS: The reaction conditions of the test were optimized for two types of samples. Early
GL at one hour (H1) could improve the signs and symptoms after acute PQ poisoning at 24 hours
(H24). In contrast, GL at 6 hours (H6) could only partially relieve the vital signs. The H1 GL group
effectively reduced the peak of the plasma PQ concentration. In addition, the PQ concentrations in
the plasma and the gastric juice were signifi cantly decreased in both the GL groups as compared to
the untreated group at H24. Moreover, there was no signifi cant difference in the washing effi ciencies
calculated from the total eluates between the two GL groups. However, the washing effi ciency of the
fi rst 10 L eluate is superior to that of the additional 10 L eluate.
CONCLUSION: GL only at early stage may it benefit PQ poisoning in an animal model. The
currently used 20 L GL volume may need to be reduced in view of the low washing efficiency in
the later 10 L eluate. The rapid quantitative method can be used for gastric juice sample and has a
certain value for clinical GL practices.
