Objective To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk (NRS2002) and malnutrition inhospitalized stroke patient and their nutritional intervention. Methods The stroke patients admitted to three de-partments of vascular neurology ward including cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemor-rhage in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were recruited using cluster sampling. Nutri-tional risk screening 2002 ( NRS 2002) was used to screen the nutritional risk of inpatients Malnutrition was as-sessed by criteria:(1) body mass index (BMI) <18. 5 kg/m2 with poorer general condition from January 2018 to January 2019;(2) Global leadership initiative on malnutrition ( GLIM) criteria were used except whole body muscle mass measurement from October 2018 to January 2019. The nutritional intervention for patients were closely observed during hospitalization. Results A total of 1532 patients were registered and1036 patients were included in the final analysis considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The prevalence of nutritional risk was 33. 0% ( 342/1036) . The prevalence of malnutrition based on BMI and GLIM criteria was 0. 9%( 9/1036) and 2. 5% (10/393) respectively. Among the 342 patients with nutritional risk, 112 patients received nutritional support therapy by tube feeding, but only 29 patients received nutritional support that met guideline standards. 81 patients received not standard nutritional support, and 2 patients received highly unregulated nutritional sup-port. No patients received sugar and electrolyte infusion, oral nutritional supplements ( ONS) , oral nutritional a-gents and compound nutrition intervention. The other 230 patients took hospital diet. Conclusion The prevalence of nutritional risk in hospitalized patients with cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or subarachnoid hemorrhage was high, and the prevalence of malnutrition was extremely low. There was a low proportion of nutri-tional support. High quality of large sample cohort studies will be conducted to show whether reasonable applica-tion of nutritional support therapy in patients with nutritional risk can improve patient outcome.

Objective To analyze the occurrence and clinical significance of hypophosphatemia after mod-erate-to-major abdominal surgery. Methods A total of 120 patients who had received moderate to major abdominal surgery and then transferred to the intensive care unit ( ICU) from January 2008 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The peri-operative parameters of serum inorganic phosphate and calcium levels were recorded and analyzed. The incidence of hypophosphatemia after the operation was calculated. The effect of phosphorus-supplement infusion on the complications and mortality within 30 days after the operation were observed. Results After moderate-to-major surgery, the phosphorus concentration significantly decreased [ (1. 21±0. 27) vs. (0. 83±0. 24) mmol/L, P<0. 05];the incidence of hypophosphatemia was 58. 3%, especially in patients with nutritional risk assessed before the operation. The post-operative complications were less in the phosphorus-supplement infusion group than in the control group (17. 5%vs. 41. 3%, P=0. 028). Conclusion The incidence of hypophosphatemia is relatively high after moderate-to-major abdominal surgery, especially in patients with nutritional risks. The treatment of phosphorus-sup-plement infusion can benefit the patients in their short-term prognosis.

Objective To explore the difference of gut microbiota between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-diabetic population in Beijing. Methods 83 T2DM patients were selected as T2DM group and 64 non-diabetic subjects were selected as control group. Fecal samples were collected from all the subjects. The intestinal flora was detected by metagenome sequencing technology. Results 11 bacterialphyla were detec-ted in the two groups, there were significant differences in species diversity of Actinobacteria (P=0. 013), Firmicutes (P=0. 005), Fusobacteria (P=0. 001), Proteobacteria (P<0. 001) between the two groups. Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria and Proteobacteria were all enriched in the T2DM group, Firmicutes were enriched in the control group. 152 bacterial genera were detected in the two groups with 31 bacterial genera ofsignificant differences. In T2DM group, the levels of Roseburia, Eubacterium and Faecalibacterium decreased, while the levels of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Escherichia increased. Conclusion There are significant differ-ences in the composition of gut microbiota between T2DM patients and non-diabetic population. Regulation of gut microbiota in T2DM patients may be helpful to improve the condition of T2DM.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of low-dose vitamin D on glucose metabolism of patients with impaired glucose regulation. Methods A total of196 subjects receiving oral glucose tolerance test were enrolled in this study, including individuals with normal glucose tolerance ( NGT group, n=67) and indi-viduals with impaired glucose regulation (IGR group, n=129). The IGR group was divided into intervention group ( n=64) and non-intervention group ( n=65) according to vitamin D intervention ( for 1 year) performed or not. Clinical data and biochemical parameters were collected. Results The level of serum 25(OH)D3 was significantly lower in the IGR group than that of normal control group ( P<0. 05) . After 1 year of low-dose vita-min D intervention, insulin sensitivity increased and insulin resistance decreased in the intervention group as compared with non-intervention group. Diabetes developed less frequently in the intervention group ( 25 of 64 [ 39. 1%] ) compared with non-intervention group ( 30 of 65 [ 46. 2%] ) . But there was no significant differ-ent in diabetes prevalence between the two groups. Conclusions Vitamin D intervention can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin resistance in patients with impaired glucose regulation. Low dose vitamin D can improve the abnormal glucose metabolism outcome in patients with impaired glucose regulation.

Objective To investigate the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation combined with standard-ized hypoglycemic regimen on islet β cell function and macroangiopathy of T2DM patients. Methods A total of 192 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group with 96 patients in each group. Patients in two groups were given standardized hypoglycemic regimen, and the observation group was treated with vitamin D3 supplementation in addition. The changes of the indexes of body examination, glycolipid metabolism, islet β cell function and macrovascular complications before and 6 months after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results After 6 months of treatment, BMI, SBP, TG, FBG, FINS, HbA1c and HOMA-IR decreased, while HOMA-β increased in both groups ( P<0. 05) . Compared with the control group, the serum levels of 25 ( OH) D increased, and vaspin and CRP de-creased significantly after 6 months of treatment in the observation group ( P<0. 05) . CIMT and other indicators showed no significant difference. 25 (OH) D was negatively correlated with FBG, FINS, vaspin and CRP, and positively correlated with 1PH and ISI (P<0.05). Conclusion Vitamin D3 is closely related to T2DM and its macrovascular complications, but it has not been found that vitamin D3 supplementation can further improve islet β cell function and macrovascular complications in patients with T2DM.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of applying standard process management in early enteral nutrition support for elderly patients with gastric cancer after operation. Methods A total of142 elderly patients with gastric cancer in our hospital were randomly divided into control group ( n=71) treated with the traditional nursing of enteral nutrition and intervention group ( n=71) adopting the standardized process man-agement, and then enteral nutrition tolerance, complications, nutritional status and recovery of gastrointestinal function were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in age, sex and preoperative nutritional condition and operation situation between the two groups ( P>0. 05) . The incidence of nutritional intolerance and the cost of nutritional support were lower than those in the control group ( P<0. 05) . The completion rate of enteral nutrition target in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0. 05) . The anal exsufflation time and defecation time of patients in the intervention group were shorter than those in the control group ( P<0. 05) . There was no significant difference in pulmonary infec-tion, incision infection and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0. 05 ) . Conclusions Standardized process management of early enteral nutrition after operation could significantly improve the toler-ance of enteral nutrition, meanwhile, it has positive significance in promoting rapid recovery of elderly patients with gastric cancer.

Objective To describe the characteristics of radiation induced mucositis in patients withhead and neck cancer ( HNC) during radiotherapy, and analyze the effect of radiation induced mucositis on diet patterns and weight change and the influencing factors for radiation induced mucositis. Methods Patients with HNC treated with radiotherapy in one cancer hospital were recruited. Data were collected before, during and at the end of the radiotherapy, which included radiation induced oral and pharyngeal mucositis, pain during eat-ing, diet patterns and weight. Results Two hundred and two patients were completely investigated and 43.5%and 34. 2% of the patients suffered from moderate to severe (≥grade 2) oral mucositis and pharyngeal mucosi-tis, respectively during the radiotherapy. At the end of radiotherapy, 53. 5% and 51. 5% of the patients suffered from moderate to severe oral mucositis and pharyngeal mucositis (≥grade 2 ) , respectively. Oral and pharyngeal mucositis were significantly correlated with pain during eating, diet patterns and weight ( P<0. 05) . Tumor site was the main reason that affected the severity of mucositis ( Wald χ2 =26. 033, 14. 216;P<0.001). Conclusion Radiation induced mucositis was gradually aggravated with radiotherapy progress, which is closely related to pain during eating, change of diet patterns and weight loss. The severity of mucositis is re-lated to the tumor site. Measures should be taken to strengthen the management of adverse reactions and nutri-tional status of patients.

Objective To explore the high-risk factors of metabolic bone disease (MBD) in premature infants by retrospective analysis of the clinical data so as to provide evidence for optimal clinical management. Methods Clinical data of premature infants with birth weight<1500 g admitted in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Infants with serum alkaline phosphatase ( ALP )>500 IU/L and blood phosphorus <1. 5 mmol/L were selected as MBD group and premature infants with birth weight <1500 g were selected randomly as non-MBD group. General data, pulmonary surfactant, continuous positive airway pressure, mechanical ventilation, start time of enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition ( PN) time, breast feeding time and breast milk fortifier adding, drug usage, hospitalization time and complications were re-corded and compared between the two groups. Results A total of 440 premature infants with birth weight<1500 g were admitted to the hospital during the study period. 58 [ 13. 2% ( 58/440) ] infants were enrolled in the MBD group, among which infants with birth weight<1000 g accounting for 56. 9% ( 33/58) . High birth weight (OR=0. 62, 95% CI:0. 389-0. 990) was an independent protective factor of MBD in premature in-fants. The higher the birth weight, the lower the risk of MBD in premature infants. The longer duration of breast feeding time ( OR= 2. 191, 95% CI:1. 628-2. 950) , later initial time of enteral feeding ( OR=2. 695, 95%CI:1. 710-4. 248), longer duration of PN (OR=6. 205, 95% CI:3. 359-11. 463) time, longer duration of respiratory supporting time ( OR=1. 046, 95% CI:1. 026-. 067) , longer hospital stay time ( OR=1. 703, 95% CI:1. 109-2. 615) and small for gestational age ( OR=2. 965, 95% CI:1. 163-5. 658) were inde-pendent risk factors of MBD in premature infants. The duration of PN was the most important independent risk factor of MBD in premature infants (OR=6.205, 95% CI: 3.359-11.463). Conclusion Multiple factors can lead to MBD of premature infants. The high birth weight is an independent protective factor of MBD and the duration of PN is the most important independent risk factor of MBD in premature infants.

In recent years, with the in-depth research on intestinal microecology, probiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, fecal bacteria transplantation and other microecological therapies have become new clinical treatment and intervention methods. The occurrence and development of some chronic diseases are closely related to the disorder of intestinal flora. Therefore, in clinical practice, the treatment and adjuvant treatment of chronic dis-eases related to intestinal flora disorder with the method of intestinal microecology will bring better treatment op-tions and clinical prognosis. How to better regulate intestinal flora to bring more benefits to such patients, as well as what kind of microecologics and treatment methods are the primary problems and challenges in the inter-vention of chronic diseases with microecologics. Based on the current trend of intestinal microecological inter-vention in chronic diseases, this article proposedthe microecological intervention strategy, in order to improve theunderstanding of this topic.
