Inadequate dietary magnesium intake increases atherosclerotic plaque development in rabbits

Epidemiological studies have shown dietary magnesium (Mg) intake and serum Mg levels to be inversely correlated with the development of atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that low levels of Mg would promote atherosclerotic plaque development in rabbits. New Zealand white rabbits (4 months old, n = 22) were fed an atherogenic diet containing 0.12% (−Mg), 0.27% (control), or 0.43% (+Mg) Mg for 8 weeks. Blood samples were obtained at baseline, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks and were assayed for total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), non-HDL, triglycerides (TG), C-reactive protein, serum Mg, and erythrocyte Mg. Aortas from −Mg had significantly more plaque, with an intima thickness 42% greater than control and 36% greater than +Mg. Serum cholesterol levels rose over time, and at 8 weeks, −Mg had the highest and +Mg the lowest total and non-HDL cholesterol and TG levels, although these results did not reach significance. Over time, serum Mg levels increased, and erythrocyte Mg levels decreased. C-reactive protein significantly increased in all groups at 4 and 6 weeks but returned to baseline levels by 8 weeks. This study supports the hypothesis that inadequate intake of Mg results in an increase in atherosclerotic plaque development in rabbits.     

烧伤后早期应用中/长链甘油三酯对患者免疫功能的影响

早期肠内营养及其输注方式对大鼠重症急性胰腺炎病理和肠道功能的影响

目的:观察早期肠内营养及其不同输注方式对重症急性胰腺炎的影响。方法:采用胰管逆行注射建立大鼠重症急性胰腺炎(SAP)模型,假手术组用生理盐水,SAP组随机分为持续、间隙和未行肠内营养3个亚组(每组12只),假手术组同样分为3个亚组(每组8只)。各组于48 h后启动肠内营养,72 h后再次麻醉大鼠,收集组织及血液标本;检测指标包括肠道转运系数、血淀粉酶、器官细菌移位率、血清细胞因子TNF-α、胰腺病理评分及血浆D-乳酸等。结果:①、SAP后48h进行肠内营养并未加重胰腺炎;肠内营养组与未行肠内营养组在血淀粉酶、胰腺病理评分方面,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);然而早期肠内营养可以促进肠蠕动,减少肠道细菌移位率,两组间在肠道转运系数、脏器细菌移位率及血清TNF-α水平方面,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。②、SAP行肠内营养的两种方式间,各项指标比较无显著差异。结论:SAP大鼠在早期行肠内营养是可行的,其可保持肠道生理的完整性、减少了脏器细菌移位率,但未改善预后;持续和间隙二种肠内营养输注方式间无显著差异。     

小儿氨基酸注射液治疗胎儿宫内发育迟缓的探讨

经临床鉴定静脉内注射小儿氨基酸对治疗胎儿宫内发育迟缓具有肯定效果。在Ｂ超监视下，使用小儿氨基酸的孕妇组于用药期间，胎儿生长参数ＢＰＤ和ＨＣ显著高于使用成人氨基酸的孕妇组。１０例足月娩出胎儿体重均达到甚至超过２．５ｋｇ。由此得出结论：使用小儿氨基酸注射液对于改善胎儿宫内发育迟缓优于成人氨基酸。     

腹部术后早期肠内营养支持的临床研究

为了研究手术后早期胃肠内营养支持的有效性及安全性，我们将腹部手术病人随机分为肠内与肠外营养两组。自术后第一天起给予等氮等热量的营养支持，持续8天。结果发现营养支持前后研究组病人前白蛋白、转铁蛋白水平较对照组明显升高且手术后第二日即达到正氮平衡，无明显的肝肾功能影响，消化道反应轻。认为术后早期营养支持是安全有效的。     

Nutritional aspects of Acute Renal Failure

The patient with acute renal failure is a very ill patient suffering from high urea levels causing poor appetite, nausea and vomiting. These patients are usually treated with a low sodium, low protein and, if the potassium in the blood is high, with a low potassium diet (1). This paper discusses whether or not this is the correct treatment. The symptoms of high urea levels in the blood together with increased needs for energy and protein makes it very hard to prevent the patient becoming malnourished. Often energy‐enriched drinks are necessary to achieve recommendations and it is prudent to let the patient eat and drink what they desire. By calculating the energy and protein needs and comparing these with the intake and the state of illness and by following the patient's body weight over time we can obtain information about the state of nourishment. When we alter the food that's offered we achieve better intake and reduce the risk of malnourishment.

Surgical metabolism

Summary. Trauma, operative interventions, infection and other disturbances of homeostasis lead to a uniform reaction of the body, namely release and activation of hormones and cytokines. Profound alterations of substrate flow result, with mobilization of energy stores and degradation of structural and functional proteins of vital organs like the gut mucosa. Due to these reactions the energy demands of the organs are met and energy-consuming synthesis of substrates is indicated. Clinically, hypermetabolism, hyperglycemia, lipolysis and increased urea production with negative nitrogen balance can be observed. The metabolic reactivity is reached by an increased substrate cycling. To avoid negative consequences such as organ dysfunction, a rational situation-adapted substrate supply is warranted as well as reduction of catabolic stimuli and stimulation of anabolic factors. The metabolic care of the surgical patient is still a basic and important task.      

针刺导管空肠造口术肠内营养在胰十二指肠切除术病人中的应用

目的探讨针刺导管空肠造口术(NCJ)肠内营养(EN)在胰十二指肠切除术病人中的应用效果。方法32例病人,16例术后肠外营养(PN)(对照组),16例术后行导管空肠造口术(NCJ)肠内营养(EN)治疗(实验组)。结果术后实验组的胃肠动力比对照组的恢复早(P<0.05)。治疗前两组病人血蛋白指标(白蛋白、前白蛋白、转铁蛋白)无明显差异。治疗后两组均升高,而实验组血蛋白指标的水平明显高于对照组(P<0.05),二者差异显著。结论导管空肠造口术(NCJ)肠内营养(EN)应用于胰十二指肠切除术病人中比肠外营养(PN)具有更多的优点。
