Diet and nutrition against inflammatory bowel disease: Trick or treat(ment)?

Even if the relationships between nutrition and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remain underexplored, the current literature is providing, day by day, much more evidence on the effects of various diets in both prevention and treatment of such illnesses. Wrong dietary habits, together with other environmental factors such as pollution, breastfeeding, smoke, and/or antibiotics, are among the theoretical pathogenetic causes of IBD, whose multifactorial aetiology has been already confirmed. While some of these risk factors are potentially reversible, some others cannot be avoided, and efficient treatments become necessary to prevent IBD spread or recurrence. Furthermore, the drugs currently available for treatment of such disease provide low-to-no effect against the symptoms, making the illnesses still strongly disabling. Whether nutrition and specific diets will prove to effectively interrupt the course of IBD has still to be clarified and, in this sense, further research concerning the applications of such dietary interventions is still needed.     

右美托咪定联合舒芬太尼自控静脉镇痛对妇科腹腔镜手术患者术后镇痛效果 炎症细胞因子及早期恢复的影响

目的探讨右美托咪定联合舒芬太尼自控静脉镇痛(PCIA)对妇科腹腔镜手术患者术后镇痛效果、炎症细胞因子及早期恢复的影响。方法选择2019年9月—2020年9月在该院接受妇科腹腔镜手术的100例患者作为研究对象。采用随机数表法均分两组,各50例。对照组给予舒芬太尼镇痛,观察组给予右美托咪定联合舒芬太尼镇痛。比较两组术后恢复情况,分析两组术后镇痛,记录麻醉诱导前(T0)、术毕(T1)、术后6 h(T2)及术后24 h(T3)时白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)及肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)变化,统计两组术后不良反应发生情况。结果观察组呼唤睁眼时间、定向力恢复时间及首次肛门排气时间均短于对照组(均P<0.05),两组术后住院时间比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);两组患者T1、T2及T3时的拉姆齐镇静评分(RSS)和数字疼痛分级法(NRS)评分逐渐下降,观察组T1和T2时的RSS评分明显高于对照组,而NRS评分低于对照组(P<0.05);两组患者T1、T2及T3时的IL-6、IL-10及TNF-α表达水平均高于T0时,且观察组患者T1、T2及T3时的IL-6、TNF-α表达水平均低于对照组,IL-10表达水平高于对照组(P<0.05);观察组术后不良反应发生率(6.00%)低于对照组的22.00%(P<0.05)。结论右美托咪定联合舒芬太尼PCIA可提高妇科腹腔镜手术患者术后镇痛效果,抑制炎性反应,促进术后早日恢复,减少不良反应发生,临床运用价值较高。     

前瞻性护理干预在急性心力衰竭患者中的应用

目的探讨前瞻性护理干预在急性心力衰竭患者中的应用效果。方法选取2018年4月—2020年5月河南省某医院收治的122例急性心力衰竭患者为研究对象,采用随机数字表法分为观察组与对照组,每组61例。对照组患者采用常规护理,观察组患者采用前瞻性护理,比较2组患者的干预效果、并发症发生情况,干预前后焦虑自评量表(SAS)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)评分及护理满意度。结果观察组患者干预总有效率为95.08%,高于对照组的75.41%,差异有统计学意义(χ²=9.385,P=0.002)。观察组患者并发症发生率为3.28%,低于对照组的18.03%,差异有统计学意义(χ²=6.974,P=0.008)。2组患者干预后SAS及SDS评分均低于干预前,且观察组低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组患者护理满意度为98.36%,高于对照组的86.89%,差异有统计学意义(χ²=4.319,P=0.038)。结论前瞻性护理干预用于急性心力衰竭患者,有助于改善患者负性情绪及减少并发症的发生。     

Treatment of metachronous colorectal cancer metastases in the Netherlands: A population-based study

BackgroundThis study aimed to describe the treatment of metachronous colorectal cancer metastases in a recent population-based cohort.MethodPatients with stage I-III colorectal cancer (CRC), diagnosed between January 1st and June 30th^, 2015 who were surgically treated with curative intent were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Follow-up was at least 3 years after diagnosis of the primary tumour. Treatment of metachronous metastases was categorized into local treatment, systemic treatment, and best supportive care. Overall survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsOut of 5412 patients, 782 (14%) developed metachronous metastases, of whom 393 (50%) underwent local treatment (LT) with or without systemic therapy, 30% of patients underwent only systemic therapy (ST) and 19% only best supportive care (BSC). The most common metastatic site was the liver (51%) followed by lungs (33%) and peritoneum (22%). LT rates were 69%, 66%, and 44% for liver-only, lung-only and, peritoneal-only metastases respectively. Patients receiving LT and ST were significantly younger than patients receiving LT alone, while patients receiving BSC were significantly older than the other groups (p < 0.001). Patients with liver-only or lung-only metastases had a 3-year OS of 50.2% (43.3–56.7 95% CI) and 61.5% (50.7–70.6 95% CI) respectively. Patients with peritoneal-only disease had a lower 3-year OS, 18.1% (10.1–28.0 95% CI).ConclusionPatients with metastases confined to the liver and lung have the highest rates of local treatment for metachronous metastatic colorectal cancer. The number of patients who underwent local treatment is higher than reported in previous Dutch and international studies.
