The effect of perioperative enteral immunonutrition on liver regeneration function in cirrhotic rats with partial hepatectomy / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative enteral immunotrition(IMPACT) on liver regeneration in cirrhotic rats with hepatectomy. Methods Forty-eight cirrhotic rats were randomly divided into two groups Group A, perioperative standard enteral nutrition group(n=24), receiving standard enteral nutrient NUTRISON during hepatectomy. Group B, perioperative enteral immunonutrition group(n=24), receiving enteral immunonutrient IMPACT after hepatectomy. According to the different time of taking specimens, each group was separated into four subgroups, each subgroup had six rats. The rats in the two groups received equal daily nutritional supplement intragastrically, which was 690kJ/kg per day. Before the 68% hepatectomy, the rats were fed with enteral nutrient for 8 days, and after operation were fed until the day of taking specimens. On the day before hepatectomy and 1st, 4th and 8th postoperative day(POD), MI (mitotic index) of liver cell and PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) labeling index of hepatocyte were determined. Results MI increased significantly in both group on 4th and 8th postoperative day(P
