Objective:To investigate the effect of early enteral nutrition combined with Bacillus in the treatment of patients with digestive tract perforation.Methods:59 patients with emergency digestive tract perforation were randomly divided into experimental group (EN plus Bacillus,n =31) and control group (TPN,n =28).The patients in the experimental group were given enteral nutrition plus Bacillus after first days (< 24 h),and the control group was treated with parenteral nutrition support on the first day after surgery.The average hospitalization time,length of ICU stay,incidence of complications,and serum C-reactive protein in the two groups were analyzed.Results:The average length of hospitalization time,ICU stay,recovery of bowel function and eating time were significantly shorter in the experimental group than in the control group(P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in nutrition index between the two groups during the perioperative period (P > 0.05).The C-reactive protein in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group fourth days after operation (P < 0.05).The incidence of postoperative wound infection in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of other complications.Conclusion:Early administration of enteral nutrition combined with Bacillus can significantly shorten the intestinal function recovery time,decreasethe average hospitalization days,reduce the postoperative wound infection rate and thus improve the outcome of patients with digestive tract perforation.

Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition 2017;24(2):98-100
Objective:To investigate the effects of two different routes of nutrition support on the treatment of severe pneumonia in elderly patients.Methods:From January 2015 to January 2016,84 elderly patients with severe pneumonia in our hospital were randomly divided into two groups,42 patients in each group.The enteral nutrition (EN) group was treated with nasogastric feeding and another group was defined as combined treatment group.After 4 weeks of treatment,the nutritional status of two groups of patients was compared.The incidence of complications during treatment were documented.Results:After treatment,the hemoglobin was (111.34 ± 20.33) g/L,and the albumin was (23.33 ± 5.09) g/L in the EN group.The hemoglobin was (132.13 ±24.39) g/L,and the albumin was (35.43 ±9.12)g/L.There was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05).The cure rates of the two groups were 92.86% and 95.24%,respectively,and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion:For elderly patients with severe pneumonia,the combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition is more likely to improve the nutritional index,and has a lower incidence of adverse events.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture therapy for critical ill patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI).Methods:77 patients were randomly allocated to the treatment group (38 cases) and control group(39 cases).The control group received conventional medical treatment.In the treatment group,electroacupuncture therapy combined with conventional medical treatment was adopted.Treatment was given for seven days.The clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated using the quantity of enteral nutrition (EN) and abdominal cavity pressure changes in 1,3,5,7 days.After the treatment,the percentage of patients with early enteral nutrition (EEN),total enteral nutrition (TEN),parenteral nutrition (PN) supplementedas and the length of ICU stay were also observed.Results:The amount of daily EN in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group(P < 0.05) and the abdominal cavity pressure was significantly lower in the treatment group (P < 0.05).After treatment,the proportion of EEN and TEN of the treatment group were both higher than control group (P < 0.05) and the percentage of combined EN and PN therapy in the treatment group decreased significantly (P < 0.05).Meanwhile,the mechanical ventilation period and the length of ICU stay in the treatment group were shortened (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Electroacupuncture therapy can effectively improve the intestinal function and have remarkable therapeutic effect in treating critical illpatients with AGI.

Objective: To explore the protective effect of salvia miltiorrhiza for enteral nutrition in S-MODS model rats.Methods: 70 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (n=10), model group (n=20), nutrition fibre group (n=20) and salvia miltiorrhiza for enteral nutrition group (n=20) . The experiment period was 12 days. At the end of experiment, blood routine, biochemistry index (ALB, AST, ALT, BUN, Cr, CK and CK-MB), the concentrations of IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β were measured. Results: The model was successful by clinical manifestation,blood routine and pathology. The clinical symptom was improved, blood routine and pathology damage were relieved in salvia miltiorrhiza group. The concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α and IL -1 in salvia miltiorrhiza group were lower than model group and nutrition fibre group(P<0.05).Conclusions: Salvia miltiorrhiza for enteral nutrition could prevent gut function damage,protect intestinal mucosa and decrease the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
