Malnutrition is frequently found in hospital settings with alarming high prevalence rate. Of note, hospitalized patients have highest malnutrition incidence rate among population groups. 20%~60% patients have malnutrition at the time of admission, 30%~80% patients have in-hospital weight loss, indicating patients have nosocomial malnutrition (NM) or hospital acquired malnutrition (HAM) during hospital stay, all of which exacerbates DRM. Hungry-free hospital (HFH) is a nutrition care delivery program, with its focus on providing high-quality patient care, to ensure patients get easy access to safe, affordable, nourishing meals during hospital tasty, to reduce hunger or hidden hunger, to efficiently prevent HAM, to ensure inpatients receive proper nutrition therapy, and to effectively treat DRM. HFH is a comprehensive program, comprising with improving recognition of the adverse effects of malnutrition, develop a simple and easy-to-use clinical diagnostic tool, reinforce multimodal strategies for nutrition screening at admission, achieve higher completion rate of nutrition assessment, setting up NST and NSC, implementing nutritional nutrition consultation costing system, provide RUSF and RUTF, optimizing clinical examination and treatment time, develop a HFH evaluation system, and implementing continuous quality improvement (CQI) in hospital. In this article, HFH program consisted of four key approaches related to HFH efficient implementation: firstly, from nutrition science point of view, standardise key terms in clinical nutrition; secondly, address and apply standard clinical nutrition care process; thirdly, improve hospital administration management. Finally, reinforce hospital catering services. HFH is a multi-level approach involving professionals in clinical setting, staffs in catering system, patients and family members into HFH. Ultimately, promotion of a multi-level approach to hospital malnutrition at society level to raise awareness of the public as a whole, maximising hospital service quality and improving patient satisfaction.

WU Hai-tao, WANG Chang, LI Wei
DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2018.03.002
The cachexia of tumor patient is characterized by skeletal and visceral muscle consumption in cancer patients. It is accompanied or not accompanied by loss of appetite, anorexia, feeling of fullness, weight loss, muscular atrophy, fatigue, anemia, edema, hypoproteinemia and a series of clinical complications. The existence of tumor cachexia makes it difficult for patients to carry out anti-tumor therapy and reduces the survival of patients. Meanwhile, the appearance of clinical complications also seriously reduces the quality of life of them. The morbidity and the mortality of cachexia in tumor patients is high, and it is difficult toreverse once entering the period of cachexia in clinical. Therefore, it can be improved the weight and reduced the muscle loss, alleviated the symptoms of cachexia, improved the quality of life, prolonged the survival and improved the prognosis by the early intervention. Based on the definition of tumor cachexia,starting from the metabolic changes of the three major nutrients, the possible pathogenesis of tumor cachexia is summarized in this manuscript, And then it described the screening, evaluation and diagnosis of tumor cachexia. The treatment strategies and methods are summarized, including nutritional intervention, exercise intervention, psychological intervention and other drug intervention, and so on. The prospect of multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) of tumor cachexia in the future is also discussed. It is expected to provide a new idea and create a new platform for early diagnosis and treatment, prolong survival and improve prognosis of patients with tumor cachexia.

TAN Shan-yue, LIU Ling-xiang
DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2018.03.003
Fatigue is a common problem in cancer patients. Main factors contributing to CRF are progressive tumor, cytotoxic chemotherapy, biologic response modifiers, molecularly targeted therapy (particularly the small molecular tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies targeting the VEGF/EGFR), radiotherapy, anemia, pain, emotional distress, sleep disturbance, and malnutrition. Therefore, CRF screening and treatment has become the focus of supportive care in contemporary cancer treatment. Here, we systematically reviewed definitions, epidemiology, pathogenesis, screening, clinical assessment and treatment of CRF in cancer survivors. Moreover, management of CRF includes specific treatment for potentially reversible causes (treating anemia, metabolic or endocrine abnormalities, as well as managing pain, insomnia, depression or anxiety) and symptomatic treatment. Nonspecific symptomatic treatment includes education, counseling, pharmacologic (eg. psychostimulants and other wakefulness agents) and nonpharmacologic (eg. exercise, yoga, acupuncture) approaches. To be more important, we focus on exercise therapy, treatment of anemia, improvement of sleep disorders, psychological cognitive interventions, physical and psychological interventions, medical therapy and Chinese traditional medical treatment. Up to now, exercise therapy is the most effective therapy. Furthermore,
the individualized moderate aerobic exercise can improve CRF in most patients with CRF, if exercise is not contraindicated.

240 New progress in the treatment of gastroparesis
CHEN Jun-qiang, WANG Zhen
DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2018.03.004
 Gastroparesis (Gp) is a chronic disease that presents with clinical symptoms of nausea, vomiting, early satiety, bloating and abdominal pain, which is caused by delayed gastric emptying. These chronic symptoms have adverse impacts on the physiology, psychology and life quality of patients. Studies found that the mortality of patients with gastroparesis was higher than those without gastroparesis, which showed that gastroparesis has become a serious threa to human health. In last decade, there were some updates on the pathogenesis and management of gastroparesis. Studies found that gastroparesis were associated with decreased interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), which caused the insufficience and allorhythmia of smooth muscle cells in the antrum. Therefore, endoscopic implantable gastric electric stimulator or pyloroplasty should be the choice for refractory gastroparesis. In addition, researchers found that some patients with gastroparesis who did not respond to drugs or surgery benefitted from immunotherapy. Not surprisingly, patients suffering from chronic gastrointestinal conditions frequently report psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. So psychological evaluation and management should be considered for patients with gastroparesis. Moreover, identifying the risk factors of gastroparesis might help prevent occurrence of gastroparesis. At last, exploring novel treatment methods, such as stem cell transplantation, may bring new hope for gastroparesis.

Cancer cachexia is a multifactor syndrome involving multiple systems in the whole body. It is manifested in the loss of skeletal muscle mass, while traditional nutritional support can not be completely reversed, which leads to continuous deterioration of functional damage, resulting in loss of weight, immune function and resistance to cancer treatment, which is a common complication of cancer patients and the main cause of death. At the same time, when the cancer patients receive active treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and others, the treatment has a certain traumatic effect, so the risk of the treatment
related complications is very high, which often leads to a decline in patient tolerance and compliance, which will affect the follow-up treatment, and even more serious may endanger the life of patients. Thus it can be seen, carcinemia and cancer treatment related complications are the two major problems that currently plaguing cancer treatment.It is highly demanded that cachexia be diagnosed, its progression be monitored and the complications of cancer treatment be predicted timely at present. As we all know, the determination of biomarkers can be used to understand the biological processes in the body, so biomarkers have unique advantages in identifying accurate, sensitive and low levels of damage. Moreover, the recognition of biomarkers’ significance in carcinemia and
its treatment related complications could facilitate the prevention of carcinemia and the adjustment of cancer treatment programs effectively.

Totally implantable venous accessports (TIVAP) is a kind of deep vein infusion device implanted subcutaneously. It mainly includes venous poraccess system and an injection port for puncture. Venous access ports are able to provide safe, convenient, beautiful as well as long-term portable vascular access for those patients suffering from long-term infusion of chemotherapy drugs or parenteral nutrition, also for patients who need chronic transfusion due to chronic diseases. It has the advantages of low risk of infection, convenience for patients, reduction of the number of puncture vessels, simple maintenance and long service life. With the continuous progress and development of TIVAP, this technology has been accepted and applied by many clinical workers in China. However, there have been controversies in several aspects including making decisions of the implantation method and its route of venous access ports, the dosing interval after venous access ports implantation and whether antibiotics are supposed to be applied prophylactically prior to venous access ports implantation. Besides, the application of venous access ports in paediatric patients has triggered some dispute as well. Therefore, this article interprets the Expert Consensus on Nutrition Therapy Pathway for Malignant Tumors in China, and proposes suggestions on the methods of port implantation, post-implantation use and perioperative
management, offering guidance for the application of venous access ports in clinical practice, contributing to making optimal choice in nutritional treatment pathways for patients with malignant tumors according to the latest consensus.

Objective To investigate the nutritional status of esophageal cancer patients at different perioperative period and analyse the related factors malnutrition. Methods 60 patients with esophageal cancer were given early enteral nutrition support after operation. The nutritional status were evaluated by the patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) before operation and the twelfth days after operation. Body mass index, arm circumference, arm muscle circumference, triceps skinfold thickness were monitored, and serum total protein, albumin and globulin, hemoglobin, total lymphocyte count, glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase were detected before operation, the seventh and twelfth days after operation. Compare the differences of each index in different periods and analyse the related factors of malnutrition before operation and the twelfth days after operation. Results PG-SGA scores before operation: 2 patients (3.3%) with good nutrition (PG-SGA 0~1), 11 patients (18.3%) with suspected malnutrition (PG-SGA 2~3), 31 patients (51.7%) with moderate malnutrition (PG-SGA 4~8), 16 patients (26.7%) with severe malnutrition (PG-SGA≥9) ; PG-SGA scores at the twelfth days after operation: 0 patients (0.0%) with good nutrition (PGSGA 0~1), 0 patients (0.0%) with suspected malnutrition (PG-SGA 2~3), 6 patients (10.0%) with moderate malnutrition (PG-SGA 4~8), 54 patients (90.0%)with severe malnutrition, and compared with before operation, the PG-SGA score increased significantly at the twelfth days after operation (P<0.01). Compared with preoperative values, serum total protein, albumin, hemoglobin and total lymphocyte count were significantly decreased (P<0.01), glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the seventh days after operation, total protein and globulin increased significantly at the twelfth days after operation (P<0.05, P<0.01), and albumin had a rising trend, but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). Compared with before operation, body mass index decreased, especially at the seventh days after operation, arm circumference and triceps skinfold thickness were decreased at the seventh and twelfth days after operation, especially at the twelfth days after operation (P<0.05); the PG-SGA scores before operation were negatively correlated with triceps skinfold thickness (P<0.01), and the PG-SGA scores at the twelfth days after operation were negatively correlated with arm muscle circumference and triceps skinfold thickness (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusions The presence of malnutrition in patients with esophageal cancer before and after operation, and the risk of malnutrition was increased after the operation. Early postoperative enteral nutrition support can gradually improve thenutritional index of patients, but to restore the preoperative level, the family nutrition support after discharge is essential.

DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2018.03.012
Objective To compare the nutritional status of patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy with continuous enteral nutrition therapy and intermittent enteral nutrition therapy. Methods 100 cases of radiotherapy and chemotherapy were randomly divided into the control group receiving intermittent enteral nutrition therapy and the observation group receiving continuous enteral nutrition therapy in the department of radiotherapy from June 2016 to June 2017. The effects of nutritional status in the two groups were compared. Results There were no significant difference in PG-SGA scores and biochemical indexes between the two groups before intervention, and the difference between the indexes after intervention was statistically signifcant (P<0.05), and the improvement effect of the observation group were better than those of the control group. Conclusions Compared with intermittent enteral nutrition therapy, continuous nutritional support was more helpful to improve the nutritional status of patients with chemotherapy and to improve the level of endurance of the body. It also helps to improve the immunity of the patients, thus shortening the time needed to restore the function of various tissues during the radiotherapy and chemotherapy cycle, to avoid and to reduce complications, to reduce the number of days in hospital, to save the cost for the patients and to avoid the middle end of the course due to malnutrition. It can be used as a clinical selection scheme.

DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2018.03.014
Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of using narrative nursing method to guide patients to prepare bowel preparation before gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to observe the effect of preoperative intestinal preparation in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery by laparoscopic total hysterectomy in July 2017 to March 2017 in our hospital, which were divided into the application of narrative therapy(study group) and the non applied narrative therapy enteral nutritional support (control group). The satisfaction of the two groups of surgeons for bowel preparation of the two groups of patients, postoperative exhaust time and length of stay were statistically different. Results The satisfaction of the surgeons to the bowel preparation of the patients in the study group was 90%, and the satisfaction of the intestinal preparation in the control group was 64%, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The satisfaction of bowel preparation in the study group was statistically significant compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). The exhaust time and hospitalization time in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions It is safe and effective to tell the patients who need surgery by narrative method of oral enteral nutrition, to reduce the psychological pressure of the patients, to complete the perioperative nursing, and to improve the satisfaction of the surgeons in the operation, and to accelerate the recovery time of the patients after operation. In the course of communication with the patients, the nursing staff increased the degree of respect to the patients, further stimulated the enthusiasm of the nursing staff to learn the specialized knowledge, and improved the quality of nursing.

DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2018.03.015
Objective To clarify the connection between TPX2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of bladder cancer, so as to evaluate the function of TPX2 as a prognosis marker in bladder cancer. Methods GEO datasets were collected and expression profile and clinical information were analyzed. GSEA was conducted to explore the gene sets enriched in TPX2 high-expression samples. Results The expression of TPX2 was up-regulated in bladder cancer (P<0.0001); TPX2 expression was significantly associated with age, sex, T stage, N stage, progression, grade. Higher expression of TPX2 indicated poor prognosis in bladder cancer. GSEA indicated that TPX2 regulates gene sets associated with spermatogenesis,unfolded protein response, PI3K/ AKT/mTOR signaling,mTORC1 signaling, cholesterol homeostasis, mitotic spindle, glycolysis, G2M checkpoint, E2Ftargets, myctargets. Conclusions TPX2 is highly expressed in multiple tumors and functions as potential marker and target in diagnosis and treatment in bladder cancer.

DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2018.03.016
Objective To explore the effect of goal-directed nutrition therapy model on the nutritional status and postoperative rehabilitation of gastric cancer patients (total gastrectomy) from admission to discharge. Methods A cancer target nutrition team was established and the quality control standards for nutrition implementation was also developed. 82 gastric cancer patients from February 2017 to July 2017 were included in the control group, and 89 gastric cancer patients from August 2017 to January 2018 were included in the experimental group. Standardized nutrition assessment and malnutrition level 3 diagnosis was performed in experimental group. According to the patient’s condition, we chose the goal-directed nutrition therapy and a reasonable nutritional preparation; Meanwhile, target nutrition was performed in the period of pre-operative, post-operative, rehabilitation and postdischarge. We also need to regularly evaluate the efficacy of enteral nutrition and constantly adjust the target nutrition. In addition, some data on admission and discharge should be compared between the two groups, such as changes in body weight, albumin, hemoglobin, and prealbumin, the first anal exhaust time, average hospital stay and postoperative complications. Results Compared with the control group, the difference in the first anal exhaust time (t=2.101, P=0.039) and in the average hospitalization time (z=-2.081, P=0.037) was statistically significant. The difference in body weight between discharge and admission (t=-5.433, P<0.01) and prealbumin at 3 months after discharge (t=2.561, P=0.014) was statistically significant. In addition, there were no significant differences in the changes of albumin, hemoglobin and lymphocyte counts (P>0.05). The number of postoperative complications were 6 and 16, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.209, P=0.013). Conclusions The team of goaldirected nutrition therapy model is a feasible nutrition management model for cancer patients, which can improve the nutritional status of patients, accelerate the recovery of postoperative patients, and improve patient comfort and satisfaction.

Quantum medicine is an emerging discipline that combines physics, mechanics, mathematics, statistics, and modern biomedical sciences. It has achieved some breakthroughs in the fields of disease prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, and drug development, and has shown unique advantages. Quantum nonlocality and Bell’s theorem are the theoretical basis and essential features of quantum medicine. Quantum entanglement, quantum guidance and Bell nonlocality are the three main forms of interaction between organisms and external factors, and the analysis, calculation and detection of biological quantum information are the basic methods of studying quantum medicine. Quantum is the smallest basic unit of physics. Quantum medicine, which reflects the quantum changes of living organisms, is highly sensitive to the occurrence and development of human diseases, and is conducive to the early diagnosis and early treatment of human diseases (such as quantum detection of solid tumor accuracy rate of 93.37% and blood tumor accuracy rate is 88.75%) and is suitable for early warning of sub-health status, research on substance and energy metabolism mechanism and drug development. The nonlocality of quantum medicine gives this emerging medicine a “holistic view” and “dialectical treatment” characteristics, which is compatible with traditional Chinese medicine. It clarifies some basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine and clarifies the effect components and effects of traditional Chinese medicine compound. The mechanism has important value and can promote the modernization process of Chinese medicine. Quantum medicine is still in its infancy, especially the complexity of quantum information detection methods restricts the application and development of quantum medicine. With the continuous development of quantum physics theory, quantum mechanics and modern medicine, more high-quality study based on quantum medicine, biological quantum information detection and application are needed.

TKTL-1 is a member of human TKT gene family, and the genes of the TKT family consist of TKT, TKTL-1 and TKTL-2. In human body, pentose phosphate pathway contains two pathways: oxidation pathway and non-oxidation pathway, TKT plays a key role in non-oxidative pathway. It catalyzes the conversion of ketose into aldose in the body. After a series of reactions, it continuously generates 5-phosphorylated ribose and NAPDH which are the raw materials of antioxidant response and biosynthesis. The current study suggests that there is a close relationship between TKTL-1 and the occurrence, development and metastasis of tumors. Some studies found that TKTL-1 has a different activity from other TKTs and shows high expression in many tumors, while the expressions of TKT and TKTL-2 in malignant tumors have no obvious regularity or just small changes. In this paper, we divide the role of TKTL-1 in malignant tumors into four aspects. First and foremost, TKTL-1 can provide raw materials for tumors, work in coordination with the reprogramming of cancer metabolism and provide a material basis for the proliferation and metastasis of malignant tumors. In addition, the high expression of TKTL-1 can promote the metastasis of tumor to peripheral lymph nodes. What’s more, TKTL-1 is closely related to the immunosuppression and drug resistance of the tumor: it produces lactic acid by glycolysis, inhibiting the immune monitoring of T cells and NK cells; and the inhibition of oxygen free radical production by lactic acid will reduce the antitumor effect of sorafenib and other drugs. At present, numerous studies have shown that TKTL-1 is a potential tumor marker which has great significance on the diagnosis and prognosis of tumors. In terms of treatment, studies have shown that the TKTL-1 inhibitors can inhibit tumor growth and metastasis, so TKTL-1 may be a potential biotherapeutic target. Co-treatment of TKTL-1 inhibitors with other metabolic modulation therapies may further enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of TKTL-1.

Cancer-related anemia (CRA) is a kind of anemia caused by tumor-associated inflammation or tumor-related treatment that leads to myelosuppression (mainly radiotherapy and chemotherapy). Its frequency and severity depend on tumor type, tumor stage, duration of disease, and treatment status. The incidence of cancer-related anemia in China is 60.83% of which mild anemia 40.84%, moderate anemia 15.67%, severe anemia 3.47%, extremely severe anemia 0.84%. The higher morbidity of the tumor is gastrointestinal cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer. Cancer-related anemia adversely affects quality of life and is associated with reduced overall survival. The correction of anemia in cancer patients has the potential to improve treatment efficacy and increase survival. The pathogenesis of cancer-related anemia is multifactorial, and can be a direct result of cancer invasion (blood loss, marrow infiltration, hemolytic anemia, inflammation), or its treatment (radiotherapy and chemotherapy). Treatment should correct etiologic factors, whenever possible. Symptomatic treatments are red blood cell transfusions, administration of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and materials for hematopoiesis (iron, folic acid and Vitamin B12).

Sarcopenia is a progressive, systemic syndrome, which is an age-related disease, mainly manifests in the reduction of skeletal muscle mass, decreased muscle strength and function. Skeletal muscle is not only the movement system of human body, but also the body metabolism organ, which involves in the secretion and metabolism of the body, such as glucose, glycogen and lipid metabolism, secreting a variety of cytokines, etc. Metabolic syndrome is a group of clinical syndromes with multiple metabolic disease are mainly characterized by obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism or diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Due to physical activity levels falling and metabolism ability decreasing, the chance of muscle reduce disease has greatly increased in elder people, leading to metabolic diseases such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases of the elderly. The two diseases are both closely related to the declining ability of the human body aging, metabolism, and belong to age-related diseases. Because the metabolic syndrome is not a single disease, the research of the relationship between metabolic syndrome and reduce muscle diseases is truly studying the relationship between the related disease and reduce muscle disease. This article will interpret the relationship between the two diseases from both the common pathological basis and metabolic abnormality aspects.

Context colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer and the fifth most frequent cause of cancer deaths in China and has a tendency to increase year by year. Primary treatment of advanced colorectal cancer still is chemotherapy, and chemotherapy can cause non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis. Hepatic metastasis is the most common metastatic pathway in colorectal cancer patients, and about 50% of colorectal cancer will eventually develop hepatic metastasis, among which colon cancer combined hepatic metastasis is about 15% to 25%, while others are metachronous liver metastases. The incidence of hepatic metastasis is higher in colorectal cancer with hepatic steatosis, but there is also evidence that hepatic steatosis which can reduce the incidence of liver metastasis. Chemotherapy and target therapy for colorectal cancer are commonly used in past studies have found that cause the hepatic steatosis, and the hepatic steatosis increased with the increase of chemotherapy time and period. Prevent therapy with cholestasis or enzymatic drugs can improve the liver function injury. If have hepatic steatosis, the postoperative residual liver volume increased, and due to the change of liver texture, the risk of intraoperative hemorrhage increased significantly and the difficulty of hemostasis increased, leading to a significant increase in the risk of surgery. Study hepatic steatosis cause by chemotherapy have an influence on therapy of hepatic metastasis of colorectal carcinoma has very realistic clinical significance.
