Objective To explore the effect of different nutrition on the immune function of patients with colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 640 colorectal cancer patients were randomized into the enteral nutrition and peripheral nutrition groups. The peripheral venous blood was sampled before operation and on the postoperative days 1 and 7 to determine the serum levels of IgG, IgA, IgM, the percentage of T lymph cell subgroups CD3, CD4, CD4/CD8 and CRP, PGE, α- antitrypsin etc. The patient’s general condition, side-effects, and complications were observed intimately after surgery. Results Compared with the control group, the IgG, IgA, IgM, CD3, CD4,CD4/CD8 levels of the trial group on postoperative day 7 were higher. But the levels of CRP, PGE, α- antitrypsin were decreased. Hospitalization time and anal exsufflation time were shorter as well. There was no significant difference in either the general conditions or complications between the two groups. Conclusion Application of enteral nutrition after colorectal cancer surgery is safe, ,effective, and can improve the patient’s immune function and prognosis.
ObjectiveTo review the application of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ω-3PUFAs) in patients with gastric cancer.MethodThe related literatures about the application of Ω-3PUFAs in patients with gastric cancer were reviewed by searching domestic and international databases.ResultsΩ-3PUFAs didn’t only improve the perioperative immune function and inflammatory response in patients with gastric cancer, but also prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer, inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, increase the sensitivity of chemotherapy, and reduce the occurrence of chemotherapy-related adverse events.ConclusionsΩ-3PUFAsis an immunological nutrition, which can provide energy and also has functions of anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immunity regulation. It has been widely used in patients with gastric cancer, but the relevant mechanism needs further to be investigated.
ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factor of intraoperative hypothermia during laparotomy.MethodsA total of 81 patients underwent laparotomy in our hospital from October 1, 2018 to January 1, 2019 were enrolled. The difference of preoperative baseline data and surgical data between the hypothermia and non-hypothermia groups was compared, and the influencing factor of intraoperative hypothermia during laparotomy was explored.ResultsOf the 81 patients, 32 patients occurred hypothermia during operation. There were no significant differences in gender, age, BMI, HGB, WBC count, PLT count, TB, AST, ALT, ALB, PT, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, and Clavien-Dindo grade between the hypothermia group and the non-hypothermia group (P>0.05), but there were significant differences in intraoperative infusion volume, intraoperative blood loss, and surgical mode (P<0.05). The intraoperative infusion volume and intraoperative blood loss in the hypothermia group were higher than those in the non-hypothermia operation group, and the proportion of hepatectomy was higher than that in the non-hypothermia group. The multivariate analysis show that the intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative infusion volume, and kind of operation were the risk factors for the hypothermia during laparotomy (P<0.05).ConclusionsIntraoperative hypothermia is related to intraoperative bleeding volume, intraoperative fluid infusion volume, and the kind of operation. Therefore, for patients with less bleeding, the intraoperative hypothermia can be reduced by limiting the volume of intraoperative fluid infusion. For those patients with more intraoperative bleeding, warming fluid infusion may reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia.
Objective To summarize the research status and progress of intestinal microecology and trauma, in order to provide ideas for high-quality and effective treatment of trauma. Method The literatures on intestinal microecology and trauma at home and abroad in recent years were analyzed and reviewed. Results Intestinal microecology changed after trauma, but the mechanism of trauma on intestinal microecology was not clear. Intestinal microecological agents (such as probiotics), fecal bacteria transplantation, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment could maintain post-traumatic intestinal microecology. Conclusions The relationship between trauma and intestinal microbiota may provide valuable diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic insights for improving the outcome after trauma, but the impact, mechanism, and intervention measures of trauma on intestinal microecology still need to be further studied.
Objective To describe the situation of postoperative pain management in colorectal cancer patient in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) mode, and explore its influenceing factors. Methods From March to December 2017, colorectal cancer patients in ERAS mode in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University were selected. On the third day after surgery, a total of 74 patients with acute pain completed a questionnaire, which was composed of a demographic form, the Houston Pain Outcome Instrument (HPOI), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and Social Support Rating Scale. Mean±standard deviation and percentage were used to describe the total score of pain experience, t test, analysis of variance, Spearman correlation analysis were used for single-factor analysis, and multiple linear regression was used for multi-factor analysis. Results The mean total score of pain experience was 15.1±3.8. Single-factor analysis results showed that the affection of pain on daily life (rs=0.270, P=0.020), satisfaction of pain controlling education (rs=–0.283, P=0.015), subjective support (rs=–0.326, P=0.005), and social support utilization (rs=–0.253, P=0.029) were correlated with the total score of pain experience. Multi-factor analysis results showed that satisfaction of pain controlling education (P<0.001) and subjective support (P=0.005) were negative influencing factors of postoperative pain experience score, and severe anxiety (P=0.001) and pain expectation after surgery (P=0.016) were positive influencing factors of postoperative pain experience score. Conclusions Pain management situation is not so bad in these patients. High satisfaction of pain controlling education and high subjective social support are helpful to decrease pain. The medical staff should pay more attention to patients with severe anxiety, and help patients to establish reasonable pain expectation after surgery.
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between readiness for hospital discharge and short-term quality of life among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients following enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) mode.MethodsSurveys of 127 CRC patients following ERAS mode were conducted in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and EORTC QLQ-C30 Scale were issued at the discharge and 1 month after the operation, respectively.ResultsThe total score of RHDS was 149.43±33.25. The score of global quality of life was 66.80±18.84. Correlation analysis showed that the total score of RHDS was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life (r=0.220, P=0.013), and negatively correlated with the scores of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, loss of appetite (r=–0.304, P=0.001; r=–0.189, P=0.033; r=–0.257, P=0.004; r=–0.254, P=0.004). The score of personal status dimension were positively correlated with the score of global quality of life and emotional function (r=0.213, P=0.016; r=0.197, P=0.027), and negatively correlated with scores of fatigue, pain and insomnia (r=–0.311, P=0.000; r=–0.264, P=0.003; r=–0.257, P=0.004). The score of knowledge dimension was negatively correlated with nausea and vomiting, pain and loss of appetite (r=–0.212, P=0.017; r=–0.182, P=0.040; r=–0.239, P=0.007). The score of coping ability dimension was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life and physical function (r=0.204, P=0.021; r=0.204, P=0.021), while negatively correlated with scores of fatigue, pain, insomnia and loss of appetite (r=–0.349, P=0.000; r=–0.240, P=0.007; r=–0.202, P=0.022; r=–0.201, P=0.024). The score of expected support was positively correlated with the score of global quality of life (r=0.220, P=0.013), and negatively correlated with scores of fatigue and loss of appetite (r=–0.249, P=0.005; r=–0.227, P=0.010).ConclusionsThe short term quality of life among CRC patients following ERAS keeps at upper middle level, and positively correlated with the readiness for hospital discharge. It is suggested that discharge preparation service is of great significance to improve the quality of life of patients.

ObjectiveTo review the association of gut microbiota and postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (GID) in patients after abdominal surgery and to provide a new idea for the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery.MethodThe related and latest literatures were reviewed by searching the literatures on “intestinal flora” “gut microbiota” “intestinal microbial population” “brain-gut axis” “gastrointestinal function” “gastric paralysis” “intestinal paralysis” and “ileus” from January 1, 2000 to April 2, 2021 in Chinese and English databases.ResultsGut microbiota diversity was closely related to postoperative GID symptoms in patients after abdominal surgery. Gut microbiota regulated gastrointestinal motility and mucosal barrier function by metabolizing food to produce metabolites such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, melatonin, short-chain fatty acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and so on.ConclusionsThe imbalance of gut microbiota is closely related to postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery. However, the relevant bacterial metabolites that have been found are limited at present, and the relevant mechanism needs to be further investigated.

ObjectiveTo analyze the research status of mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) in medical and nursing education in the mainland of China, so as to provide a basis for optimizing medical and nursing teaching evaluation tools and promoting the reform of medical and nursing personnel training mode.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Wanfang, CQVIP, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched. The key words were “mini-clinical evaluation exercise” or “mini-CEX” or “CEX” or “mini clinical exercise evaluation”. The languages were limited to Chinese and English. The address of the first author was in the mainland of China. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to December 31st, 2020. The literature was analyzed bibliometrically after screening and duplicate removal.ResultsA total of 536 articles were included for analysis and summary. The articles originated from 28 provincial-level administrative divisions in China, among which Shanghai, Xinjiang, Guangxi, Liaoning, and Guangdong were the top five in terms of the number of papers published. The annual number of papers published exceeded 60 in 2017, and reached 112 in 2019 and 113 in 2020, respectively. A total of 397 hospitals and universities contributed to the literature, among which 49 institutions published more than 2 papers. The maximum number of articles published by a same author was 5. There were 530 journal papers published in 169 journals. Only 228 articles (42.54%) were supported by funds, and the research type was mainly experimental and quasi experimental research (56.71%). Under the key words co-occurrence network analysis, a total of 321 nodes and 1 013 connections were obtained, with an average of 3.21 connections per node. In addition to “mini-CEX” and “mini-clinical exercise evaluation”, the most prominent research directions were “clinical teaching” “standardized training” “resident” “scenario simulation” and “clinical ability”.ConclusionsThe number of mini-CEX-related medical and nursing articles is increasing year by year, but the distribution of research areas and institutions is uneven, the research quality needs to be improved, the application scope and research types need to be enriched, and the research content needs to be expanded. In the future, teachers and research teams of medical colleges and universities should be mobilized to apply Mini-CEX teaching method to the cultivation of medical and nursing talents in a whole and continuous way, so as to further standardize the localization application of mini-CEX in the mainland of China, and promote the in-depth development of formative evaluation of medical education.
