ABSTRACT
Objective · To investigate the effect of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy on postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods · Sixty-two cases of gastrointestinal cancer patients were enrolled who accepted cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in Department of General Surgery, Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, Fudan University, from July 2014 to June 2017. The gastrointestinal function of patients were evaluated according to the I-FEED scoring system. The patients were divided into normal recovery group (I-FEED score＜6, n=38) and delayed recovery group (I-FEED score ≥ 6, n=24). Univariate and multivariate Logistic analyses were performed on characteristic factors that may affect the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function including gender, age, presence of diabetes, preoperative albumin, and so on. Results · There were significantly differences in the preoperative serum albumin level (P=0.040), intraoperative bleeding (P=0.044), the time of extraction of the peritoneal cavity drainage tube (P=0.026), the time of urethral tube extraction (P=0.021) and the time of hospitalization (P=0.017) in the two groups of patients with normal or delayed gastrointestinal function recovery. Multivariate Logistic regression results suggested that preoperative serum albumin level may be beneficial for the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function (OR=0.84, 95％ CI 0.17-4.27, P=0.041).Conclusion · The preoperative serum albumin level can be used as an independent predictor of postoperative gastrointestinal functional recovery in patients with gastrointestinal cancer after cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Delayed gastrointestinal function recovery often appears in patients after liver transplantation. It may influence patient’s prognosis. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively analyze the recovery time of gastrointestinal function in patients after liver transplantation, and to explore the influence of the gastrointestinal function recovery after liver transplantation on the prognosis. METHODS:The data of 254 liver transplantation patients selected from two hospitals of Fujian province from January 2006 to October 2011 were col ected. The recovery time of gastrointestinal function in liver transplantation patients was descriptively analyzed. This study was divided into three groups (14 days group) according to the recovery time in order to comparatively observe the incidence of postoperative complications, hospital stay and costs in hospital. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among the 254 cases, 142 cases had the ful recovery of gastrointestinal function for14 days. The patients in the14 days group (P14 days group (P0.05). Higher incidence for patients after liver transplantation with delayed gastrointestinal function recovery may result in higher incidence of postoperative infection complications, longer hospital stay and higher hospital costs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of different time of lavipeditum with traditional Chinese medicine on recovery of gastrointestinal function right after cesarean section, to find the best lavipeditum time and improve the therapeutic effect of lavipeditum with traditional Chinese medicine. Methods 388 cases parturents after cesarean section were selected and were randomly divided into the observation group(200 cases)and the control group(188 cases)according to their bed number. The observation group began lavipeditum with Chinese medicine 6 hours after operation, and was scheduled 7:00-8:00 in the morning, 21:00-22:00 in the evening, lasted 20 minutes every time for consecutive 3 to 5 days. the control group started lavipeditum with Chinese medicine one day after operation, and continued lavipeditum any time they wanted. lasted 20 minutes every time for consecutive 3 to 5 days. Recovery of intestinal function were com-pared between the two groups. Results Postoperative recovery time of bowel sounds, anal exhaust time for the first time, the first defecation time, appetite and sleep quality three days after operation in the observation group were beuer compared with the control group. Conclusions Timing of lavipeditum with Chinese medicine is more effective for recovery of gastrointestinal function after cesarean section, it embodies the importance of time medicine and reach best aims.
