ObjectiveTo investigate the Alzheimer-associated neurofilament protein (AD7c-NTP) in urine of middle-aged and elderly people and its correlation between common metabolites. MethodsA total of 1 150 middle-aged and elderly people who did their physical exmanination in the health examination center of the Sichuan Science City Hospital and the Third Hopital of Mianyang were recruited from March 2017 to March 2020. The level of urine AD7c-NTP were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and common metabolites in blood were measured by biochemical analyzer. Based on urine AD7c-NTP level ≤1.5 ng/mL, the objects was divided into normal group (n=956) and elevated group (n=194). Thier demographic data and blood biochemical indicators were collected. ResultsThe urine AD7c-NTP level in middle-aged and elderly people was 0.60(0.30~1.20) ng/mL. The urine AD7c-NTP level was higher in women than that in men [1.04(0.40~1.30) ng/mL vs. 0.84(0.30~1.00) ng/mL, Z=4.202, P˂0.01]. And the urine AD7c-NTP level was lower in the normal group than that in the elevated group [0.50(0.30~0.90) ng/mL vs. 2.10(1.70~2.10) ng/mL, Z=22.035, P˂0.01]. The results of the univariate comparison showed that, the differences between the two groups in age (Z=6.545), fasting glucose (Z=3.506), blood uric acid (Z=2.574), urea nitrogen (Z=2.891), creatinine (Z=2.243), total bilirubin (Z=3.936), glutathione (Z=0.969), total cholesterol (t=3.956) and low density lipoprotein (Z=-5.678) were were statistically significant (P˂0.05 or 0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that, the urine AD7c-NTP level was positively correlated with age and the levels of urea nitrogen, glucose, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (r=0.177, 0.178, 0.171, 0.109, 0.149, P˂0.01), and negatively correlated with the level of total bilirubin (r=-0.172, P˂0.01). Conclusionthe urine AD7c-NTP level in middle-aged and elderly females was signifitcantly higher than in middle-aged and elderly males.The urine AD7c-NTP level of middle-aged and elderly people was positively correlated with age, urea nitrogen, glucose, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein, and negatively correlated with total bilirubin.

Objective:To construct a cluster care of oral nutrition supplements (ONS) , and to explore its effect in home care of postoperative patients with gastric cancer.Methods:Literature search was conducted to review the status quo of ONS compliance at home in patients with gastric cancer after surgery, and analyze the existing problems. We summarized and formulated the cluster care plan according to the evidence, and established the home ONS management team and process. From November 2020 to October 2021, 107 patients with gastric cancer who needed to implement ONS at home in Gastrointestinal Surgery of Ningbo First Hospital were selected as research objects by convenience sampling. Postoperative patients with gastric cancer from November 2020 to April 2021 were set as the control group ( n=40) , and those from May to October 2021 were set as the observation group ( n=67) . The control group was treated with conventional ONS, and the observation group was treated with home ONS cluster care plan on the basis of the control group. The compliance of nutritional support, weight gain, body mass index increase and follow-up experience between the two groups were evaluated. Results:After six months of intervention, the scores of ONS compliance, weight gain, body mass index increase and follow-up experience in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The cluster care plan improves the ONS compliance at home, nutritional status and satisfaction with the follow-up by medical and nursing staff in patients with gastric cancer after surgery, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the nutritional status and quality of life of gastric cancer patients one month after operation in the context of enhanced recovery, and analyze the correlation between them.Methods:From August 2020 to August 2021, 168 patients discharged from the Gastrointestinal Surgery of Ningbo First Hospital after radical resection of gastric cancer were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. The Nutritional Risking Screening 2002 (NRS2002) and the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) step 2 (excluding muscle mass measurement index) were used to assess the postoperative nutritional status of patients. The quality of life of patients with gastric cancer after operation was investigated with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) . Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of nutritional status of postoperative patients with gastric cancer. A total of 168 questionnaires were distributed, and 168 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 100.0%.Results:A total of 104 patients (61.9%) had nutritional risk and 46 patients (27.4%) had malnutrition. There were statistical differences in age, education level, tumor stage, body mass index, physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function, general health, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and loss of appetite among gastric cancer patients with different nutritional status after operation ( P<0.05) . Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index, physical function, role function, emotional function and fatigue were the influencing factors of the nutritional status of patients one month after operation ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In the context of enhanced recovery, the nutritional risk and malnutrition rate of gastric cancer patients one month after operation are high, and are closely related to the quality of life. When implementing enhanced recovery after surgery, medical and nursing staff should strengthen and optimize the nutrition management of gastric cancer patients before hospital, during perioperative period and after discharge, improve the nutritional status after operation and the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of sarcopenia on physical performance and nutritional status in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors.Methods:a total of 120 eligible in-patients were enrolled from gastrointestinal surgery department of a Grade A tertiary hospital in Ningbo city from September 2021 to January 2022. General clinical data were collected, nutritional risk was screened using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002), physical performance was assessed by Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), skeletal muscle index at the third lumbar vertebra level (L3 SMI) was calculated using abdominal CT scan, and grip strength/muscle strength, gait speed by 6 Meter Timed Walk Test and calf circumference were measured. Subjects were divided into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia group according to the diagnostic criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Impacting factors of sarcopenia and the correlation between muscle mass and physical performance in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors were analyzed.Results:The overall prevalence rate of sarcopenia in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors was 28.3% (34/120) and it was 28.9% (22/76) and 27.3% (12/44) in males and females respectively. There were statistically significant differences in age, tumor stage, nutritional risk, body mass index, calf circumference, L3 SMI, grip strength/muscle strength, gait speed and SPPB score between patients with and without sarcopenia (P<0.05). Muscle strength/grip strength, L3 SMI and gait speed were closely correlated with the occurrence of sarcopenia in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors (P<0.05). The L3 SMI was positively correlated with physical performance as assessed with SPPB in both groups.Conclusions:Sarcopenia is a common complication in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors with multiple influencing factors. Timely nutritional intervention and exercise intervention should be incorporated into the treatment of elderly gastrointestinal tumor patients with sarcopenia in order to improve nutrition status.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between discharge readiness and nutritional status of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery in the context of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) , so as to provide individualized guidance for patients after discharge.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 120 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer from June 2020 to June 2021 in Ningbo First Hospital were selected as research objects, and they all received ERAS nursing care. One day before discharge, Nutritional Risk Screening Table and Discharge Readiness Scale were used for questionnaire analysis.Results:The total score of discharge readiness of 120 patients with gastric cancer after surgery was (81.42±6.87) . Among the three dimensions, personal status was (19.65±2.19) , adaptability was (29.67±3.10) and anticipatory support was (32.10±2.61) . 57.5% (69/120) of gastric cancer patients discharged from hospital had nutritional risk. The scores of hospital discharge readiness and the scores of each dimension in the nutritional risk group were lower than those in the non-nutritional risk group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Multivariate analysis showed that nutritional status was an influencing factor for the total score of hospital discharge readiness in patients with gastric cancer surgery (standardized regression coefficient was 0.321, P<0.05) . Conclusions:Under the background of ERAS, the discharge readiness of patients after gastric cancer surgery is at a moderate level, postoperative patients are generally at nutritional risk and the discharge readiness of patients with nutritional risk is lower than that of patients without nutritional risk. Perioperative nutrition management by nursing staff can improve the discharge readiness of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery, and continuous nutrition management should be carried out for discharged patients with nutritional risk, in order to promote home rehabilitation of patients with gastric cancer surgery.

Objective: To investigate the anti-tumor effect of CTL cells on colon cancer xenograft in nude mice after knocking out the immune check point CTLA-4 by CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Methods: A specific small guide RNA (sgRNA) for CTLA-4 was designed to construct sgRNA/Cas9 plasmid, which was then transfected into CTL using a lentiviral vector to obtain CTL cells with CTLA-4 deletion (CTLA-4 KO CTL). The transfection efficiency of the plasmid and the deletion efficiency of CTLA-4 were verified. BALB/c nude mice were randomly divided into two groups to prophylactically inoculate CTLA-4 KO CTL (experimental group) or CTL (control group); 3 days later, the animals of two groups were inoculated with colon cancer cell line LS174-T to observe the tumor formation rate and tumor formation time. After constructing colon cancer xenograft model in nude mice, the animals were randomly divided into two groups, respectively treated with CTLA-4 KO CTL (experimental group) and CTL (control group) cells to observe the tumor growth volume and survival time of mice. The serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ in nude mice were detected. Results: sgRNAwas designed and CRSIPR/Cas9 system with lentivirus as vector was successfully constructed. CTL cells were transfected with the established CRSIPR/ Cas9 system, and the highest transfection efficiency was up to (28.80±0.62)%. After transfection, the deletion efficiency of CTLA-4 was detected by Flow cytometry. The CTLA-4 expression of CTLA-4 KO CTL group was significantly lower than that of CTL group [(0.91±0.25)% vs (42.70±2.72)%, P<0.05]. In prophylactic assay, the formation rate of colon cancer xenografts in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(33.33%vs100%,P<0.05). In treatment assay, the tumor volume in the experimental group was significantly inhibited compared with the control group ([503±23.9] vs [911.2±51.4] mm3, P<0.05), and the survivaltimeoftheexperimentalgroupwassignificantlyprolonged (mediansurvivaltime:78dvs42d,P<0.05); Moreover, the secretion levels of serumTNF-α([268.93±17.04]pg/mlvs[148.26±20.07]pg/ml,P<0.05) and IFN-γ(315.38±18.67 pg/ml vs 202.92±29.32 pg/ml, P<0.05) in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusions: The lentiviral vector CRSIPR/Cas9 system is an effective gene editing method; its successful deletion of CTLA-4 in CTL cells can significantly inhibit the tumor formation rate of colon cancer xenografts in nude mice and enhance the anti-tumor effect of CTLon colon cancer xenografts.
