Impact of enteral nutrition on postoperative immune function and nutritional status

F. Wang, Hou, M. X., Wu, X. L., Bao, L. D., and Dong, P. D., “Impact of enteral nutrition on postoperative immune function and nutritional status”, vol. 14, pp. 6065-6072, 2015.

We studied the effects of enteral nutrition (EN) support initiated 1 week before surgery on postoperative nutritional status, immune function, and inflammatory response in gastric cancer patients. A total of 200 gastric cancer patients were randomly divided into two groups: EN starting 1 week before surgery (study group) and EN starting early after surgery (control group). The two groups received EN support, following different therapeutic schedules, until the 9th day after operation.

Impact of early enteral and parenteral nutrition on prealbumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein after gastric surgery

We investigated the impact of early enteral nutrition (EEN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) on prealbumin (PA) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients after gastric cancer surgery. Sixty-eight selected patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery were randomly divided into the EEN (N = 34) and PN (N = 34) groups. Body weight (BW), serum albumin (ALB), transferrin (TF), PA, hs-CRP, length of hospital stay, cost of postoperative nutritional support, and incidence of complications were compared between groups.

Impact of early postoperative enteral nutrition on clinical outcomes in patients with gastric cancer

B. Li, Liu, H. Y., Guo, S. H., Sun, P., Gong, F. M., and Jia, B. Q., “Impact of early postoperative enteral nutrition on clinical outcomes in patients with gastric cancer”, vol. 14, pp. 7136-7141, 2015.

The impact of early enteral nutrition (EEN) on clinical outcomes of gastric cancer patients was investigated. Three hundred pa­tients undergoing gastric cancer surgery from July 2010 to May 2014 were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n = 150/group). Experimental group patients received enteral nutrition in water during the early postoperative period. Control group patients received conventional perioperative treatment.
