OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the incidence of enteral nutrition intolerance (ENI) in patients with sepsis and explore potential risk factors. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted in patients with sepsis who were receiving enteral nutrition (EN) at a tertiary hospital in China. The included patients were divided into the ENI group and the non-ENI group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for ENI. RESULTS: A total of 859 patients were included in the study...

BACKGROUND: To explore correlation between the dose of norepinephrine and the timing of starting enteral nutrition in septic shock (SS) patients. METHODS: Totally 150 SS patients treated with enteral nutrition (EN) in Shiyan People's Hospital from Dece20 to July 2022 were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were divided into tolerance group (n = 97) and intolerance group (n = 53) according to whether EN was tolerated or not...

This study investigated antimalarial efficacy and sensitization of chrysosplenetin against artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium berghei K173 and potential molecular mechanism. Our data indicated a risk of artemisinin resistance because a higher parasitaemia% and lower inhibition% under artemisinin treatment against resistant parasites than those in the sensitive groups were observed. Two non-antimalarial components, verapamil and chrysosplentin, being P-gp inhibitors, possessed a strong efficacy against resistant parasites but it was not the case for Bcrp inhibitor novobiocin...

The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer have been steadily decreased over the past few decades. However, gastric cancer is still one of the leading causes of cancer deaths across many regions of the world, particularly in Asian countries. In previous studies, nutrition has been considered one of significant risk factors in gastric cancer patients. Especially, malnourished patients are at greater risk of adverse clinical outcomes (e.g., longer hospital stay) and higher incidence of complications (e.g., wound/infectious complications) compared to well-nourished patients...

Fish oil rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids has diverse immunomodulatory properties and attenuates acute lung injury when administered in enternal nutrition. However, enteral nutrition is not always feasible. Therefore, we investigated the ability of parenteral nutrition supplemented with fish oil to ameliorate acute lung injury. Rats were infused with parenteral nutrition solutions (without lipids, with soybean oil, or with soybean oil and fish oil) for three days. Lipopolysaccharide (15 mg/kg) was then administered intratracheally to induce acute lung injury, characterized by impaired lung function, polymorphonuclear leukocyte recruitment, parenchymal tissue damage, and upregulation of mRNAs for inflammatory mediators...

Enternal nutritional support, a frequently applied technique for providing nutrition and energy, played a pivotal role in the treatment of high risk patients. However, severe complications induced by malposition of nasogastric tube caused great danger and even death to the patients. In this case report, we present a patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by bronchopleural fistula (BPF) due to malposition of nasogastric tube. Repeated lung lavage combined with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was performed after transferring to the ICU of our hospital...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Arginine infusion has been demonstrated to increase wound protein deposition; however, the effects of its enteral supplementation on wound cell proliferation have not been studied. METHODS: Skin donor wound was created on the back of rabbits. The rabbits were randomly assigned to receive a control enteral diet, or the control enteral diet with supplemental arginine. On day 5 L-[ring-(13)C(6)]phenylalanine and D-[U-(13)C(6)]glucose were infused to measure the fractional synthetic rates of DNA (reflecting cell proliferation) and protein in the wound...

OBJECTIVE: : Adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory cytokine produced by adipose tissue, has been shown to modulate survival in animal models of critical illness. We examined the association between plasma adiponectin and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure. DESIGN: : Secondary analysis of a single-center, randomized controlled trial. SETTING: : Medical intensive care unit of a university-based, tertiary medical center...

The article provides a history of research in the field of enteral nutrition, history of the mixtures for tube alimentation. Also presented classification of the present mixtures for enteral introduction, as well as a characteristic of each of them.

OBJECTIVE: Intubation of the tracheobronchial tree is the most common type of malposition during the placement of narrow-bore enternal tubes. CASE REPORT: In addition to other treatment components in a 65-year-old female, nasojejunal feeding was started to treat her for severe acute pancreatitis. After the placement of the narrow-bore feeding tube, she developed dyspnea and huskiness. On auscultation and X-ray investigation, the right pneumothorax was detected and the tube was found in the chest cavity...

The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) reviews patient safety incidents throughout the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom and aims to initiate preventative measures. Recent alerts include injectable medication, oral syringes for enternal administration, preventing hyponatraemia in children and anticoagulation. This article gives an insight into the rationale and steps currently being undertaken to respond to these recommendations.

Proper nourishment is one of the basic elements in treatment patients suffering from acute pancreatitis and that's why it should be introduced in early phase of the disease. Patients suffering from light pancreatitis don't need dietary treatment because regular nourishment being.introduced a few days after the disease has developed itself. The proper supply of nourishing elements is crucial to patients with acute or chronic pancreatities. In this group of patient intravenous feeding or enteral nutrition methods are being used...

A study was made of respiration, heat production, K+ output and ultrastructure of wheat root cells treated for 6 h with rotenone (10 microM), an inhibitor of HADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I). Besides, the involvement of alternative pathways for adaptation to this inhibitor was studied. After 20 min of treatment, a brightened mitochondrial matrix and mitochondria with torus shapes were observed. We propose that the outer area of mitochondria increases due to their torus shapes, and this can point to the activating of extremal NAD(P)H-dehydrogenase, which uses enternal NAD(P)H...

THE AIM: Of the present work is to promote duodenostomy as the postoperative enteral nutrition way, when surgery ends in an anastomosis in which one of the partners is the esophagus (esophagectomies, esogastrectomies and total gastrectomies). MATERIAL AND METHOD: Consisted of 45 cases 815 total gastrectomy, 14 esogastrectomy, 6 esophageal resections and 10-esophageal plasty) in which we used: nasofaringoesogastric or nasofaringoesojejunal probes (14 cases); Witzel jejunostomy (11 cases); gastrostomy (10 cases); duodenostomy (10 cases)...

New cardiological techniques such as coronary sinus catheterization and selective catheterization of the cardiac veins permit the opening of new experimental and clinical fields, for instance in venous angiography and the reverse nourishment of myocardium which is endangered by ischemia,and also in the electrophysiological study of the components of the conduction system. New approaches in heart surgery, such as the removal of accessory pathways of the conduction system (as in WPW syndrome), necessitate the realization of the topographical relationships of the vessels in the various sections of the coronary sulci in a different way...
