Chen Yongbing, Yu Kaiying, Rao Benqiang, Shi Hanping
DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2020.02.002
Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is one of the most common complications of advanced cancer, which seriously influences the quality of life and the survival time of cancer patients. The complexity of malignant tumors lead to the difficulty treatment options for bowel obstruction. Some studies on MBO treatment with conservative medical therapy show some appreciated effects, but there is no consensus. Most of the treatments were given as hospice care. Clinicians should fully consider the benefits and risks of treatment and carefully choose a personalized treatment program in clinical treatment. Based on the recent advances, current status, and our clinical experiences of treating MBO, we proposed a “6-words principal”. It composed of decompression, nourishment, octreotide, steroid, diuretic, peristalsis, which would improve the treatment effect of MBO and brings hope for MBO patients

Tumor immunotherapy has become the new frontier of cancer therapy after surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Application of this therapeutics has generated extraordinary breakthroughs in some epithelial tumors and hematological tumors. However, there are currently two main problems in its clinical application, namely common adverse reactions and inadequate response rate in some solid tumors. With the advancement of genomics and metabolomics, people begin to appreciate the roles of gut microbiota in cancer development and treatment. The microbial community may affect the tumor immunity by modulating the host immune system and tumor microenvironment in which some microbes play antitumor roles by activating immunity while others mediate immune suppression to help cancer cells escape from the immune system. A growing body of studies have revealed that the efficacy and complications of immunotherapy are related to the gut microbiota in patients and that the hosts who are responsive to immunotherapy or prone to adverse reactions have certain microbiome traits. These microbial variables may be employed as biomarkers to predict the prognosis of immunotherapy or they may be developed as “immune-potentiators” (such as Akkermansia muciniphila and Bifidobacteria) to assist immunotherapy. A number of pre-clinical and clinical trials have demonstrated that microbial interventions including fecal microbiota transplantation can to a certain extent improve the sensitivity or reduce side effects of immunotherapy. With the development of gene editing and nanotechnology, it has been a new field of active interest to develop immunotherapy-friendly engineered bacteria. Taking advantage of the intricate relationship between intestinal flora and immunotherapy, we are hoping to mine microbial information and develop appropriate and actionable microbial interventions, thereby optimizing and making new headways in the immune-based therapeutics.

Most patients with malignant tumors are malnourished, especially patients with digestive tract cancer. Because upper gastrointestinal cancer patients usually have long-term eating restrictions, complicated by the consumption of the tumor itself combined with surgical trauma and the need for fasting within a short period of time after surgery, the systemic nutritional status of patients further deteriorates; this deterioration of nutritional status leads to patients having increased perioperative complications, prolonged hospital stays, and even increased risk of death. Therefore, perioperative nutritional support for such patients is particularly important. Enteral nutrition is the preferred route of nutrition therapy and surgical jejunostomy is one of the main techniques to enable enteral nutrition. Jejunostomy allows patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer to receive early and long-term enteral nutrition after surgery, supplementing nutrition for patients with difficulty eating or postoperative fasting. This nutrition reduces the incidence of postoperative complications and shortens the length of hospital stays, even improving surgical and clinical outcomes. This article mainly describes the current progress, indications and complications of surgical jejunostomy.

155 Medical nutritional therapy for patients with liver cancer
Zhu Mingwei, Liu Chengyu
DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2020.02.005
 Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor in China.  The incidence of malnutrition is high in patients with liver cancer, the main reasons affecting their nutritional status at the time of the first hospitalization are the degree of liver damage and the tumor-burdened state. The anti-tumor treatment measures such as liver resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy can further aggravate the liver function injury and worsen the nutritional status. Medical nutrition intervention is an important part of the treatment of liver cancer. The standardized diagnosis and treatment procedures for the medical nutrition treatment of liver cancer patients include: “screening, assessment, and intervention”. Nutritional risk screening (e.g., nutritional risk screening 2002) is used to identify patients requiring nutritional treatment. Malnutrition was diagnosed by means of patient-generated subjective nutrition assessment(PG-SGA) and liver function was assessed by laboratory examination and Child-Pugh classification grading. Energy and protein supply targets are determined according to the metabolic capacity and body demand of liver cancer patients. Oral nutritional supplement is the first choice for liver cancer patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition. For those who cannot meet 60% of the energy supply of enteral nutrition or cannot accept enteral nutrition, supplemental parenteral nutrition should be given timely to maintain nutritional status, improve he compliance of anti-tumor treatment and improve clinical prognosis. Abnormal liver function in patients with liver cancer can lead to the deficiency of various trace elements and vitamins, timely and appropriate supplementation of micronutrients has positive significance for improving nutritional status and maintaining liver function in patients with liver cancer.

Immunonutrition is a kind of targeted nutrition therapy that plays a significant role in the regulation of immune, metabolic and inflammatory changes during tumor development. It is an important branch of cancer nutrition therapy and has been widely used in many fields, such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the treatment of cancer complications. However, although several international nutrition guidelines have addressed the use of immunonutrients in the clinical treatment of cancers, most of which are only scattered parts of the guidelines and lack of systematic collation and induction, and several relevant contents in the guidelines and clinical research results are still controversial. In addition, the deficient understanding of the specific mechanism and curative effect of tumor immune nutrients currently has further led to the limitation and non-standardization of immunonutrition in clinical practice. Therefore, in order to better guide clinical practice, through the collection and collation of critical clinical research results and authoritative guidelines published in recent years under the guidance of evidence-based medicine, experts of the Cancer Nutrition Committee of Chinese Anti Cancer Association have systematically analyzed and repeatedly proofread diverse research evidence, and put forward strict recommendations according to the evidence and recommendation levels in the rating criteria of Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine, with a view to update the 2016 cancer immunonutrition guideline and provide a reference and basis for future standardized immunonutrition therapy for clinical cancer patients.

Loss of appetite is a common symptom in cancer patients, and the incidence of cancer anorexia cachexia syndrome is higher in advanced cancer patients. Due to insufficient nutrition intake, cancer patients will suffer from pancytopenia, weight loss, loss of fat tissue and skeletal muscle, resulting in decreased immunity, decreased treatment tolerance, reduced treatment opportunities, and increased complications. These problems are not conducive to the implementation of anti-cancer treatment measures. Accurate assessment of the process of cancer anorexia is of great importance for both research and clinical treatment. Scientific methods and techniques of appetite assessment are not only tools for nutritionists to evaluate appetite objectively, but also the basis for further understanding and prediction of malnutrition, which have positive significance for improving malnutrition in cancer patients. According to the existing research evidence, this consensus systematically summarized the research results in this field. Starting from the relationship between tumor, nutrition and appetite, this paper analyzed the mechanism of the occurrence and development of cancer anorexia. We summarized the evaluation methods of appetite in tumor patients under different conditions and gave expert recommendations. Combined with the status and characteristics of diet in China, this paper proposed the methods of improving appetite from the perspectives of clinical practice, nutrition, nursing and traditional Chinese medicine. We scientifically standardized the management strategy of cancer anorexia, so as to facilitate the application of clinicians, clinical nutrition professionals, nurses and other medical care personnel to better serve the cancer patients.

DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2020.02.008
Objective  This study aimed to explore the relationship between nutrition risks and length of hospital stay in patients with retroperitoneal tumor, and to provide the strategy of clinical nutritional support therapy. Methods  60 patients with retroperitoneal tumor were recruited from a tertiary academic hospital in Chengdu. Nutritional risk was assessed by the European nutritional risk screening scale (NRS 2002) in a retrospective study.In addition, some data on admission and discharge were collected, such as body mass index (BMI), blood albumin, blood hemoglobin, length of hospital stay (LOS), postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), exhaust time, defecation time, and time for dieting after surgery. One-way ANOVA were used to compare the length of hospital stay of patients between two groups and three groups, respectively. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the influence factors of length of hospital stay of patients. Results  Among all patients with retroperitoneal tumor (n=60), the prevalence of nutritional risk before and after operation were 66.7% and 86.7%. Univariate analysis of the factors influencing the LOS of patients showed that patients with nutritional risks were more likely to stay longer in hospital compared to those without (P<0.001, P=0.043). Others factors associated with prolonged LOS were low blood albumin level (P=0.019, P=0.025) during perioperative period, low blood hemoglobin level (P=0.019) after surgery, and PONV (P=0.001). A positive correlation between exhaust time, defecation time, time for dieting after surgery and LOS was observed, and the strength of the association was strong (r=0.759-0.770; P<0.001).Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis indicated that the NRS 2002 of patients with retroperitoneal tumor was significantly predict LOS among the participants (β=0.399).  Conclusion  Nutritional  risk assessed by NRS 2002 on admission predicts LOS for patients with retroperitoneal tumor. A large scaled prospective study is needed to confirm whether supplementing nutritional deficits reduces LOS.

Chen Wei, Ding Qin,Chen Jian, Jiang Lei
DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2020.02.015
Objective  The aim of this paper was to evaluate the nutritional status of patients undergoing lung cancer surgery in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University and analyze the related factors of nutritional risk and assess the impact of nutritional risk on clinical outcomes, to provide a scientific reference for nutrition interventions of patients with lung cancer surgery. Methods  Collect data of patients undergoing lung cancer surgery in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University from January 2014 to December 2017. The nutritional risk and malnutrition rate of lung cancer surgery patients was assessed by the nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and general information and nutrition relevant indicators results of the patients were recorded. Results  Data of 640 patients with lung cancer surgery who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected in this study. The incidence of nutritional risk was 41.6%, of which the incidence was higher in women than in men (χ2=6.80, P<0.05); The incidence of patients whose age over 65 years was higher than those of patients under 65 years (χ2=35.96, P<0.001); The incidence of nutritional risk was statistically different among lung cancer patients with different surgical methods (χ2=17.96, P<0.001);There were significant differences in the incidence of nutritional risk among patients with different grades of surgery (χ2=6.61, P<0.05) and the incidence increased with the grade of surgery. In addition, the incidence of nutritional risk in patients with lung cancer surgery was significantly different between the body mass index(BMI) below the normal range, the BMI in normal range (18.5-23.9kg/m2), and the BMI above the normal range (χ2=168.80,P<0.001) and the incidence of nutritional risk decreases as the BMI value increase. There was no significant difference in the incidence of nutritional risk among patients with different pathological types of lung cancer (χ2=0.19,P>0.05). At the same time, we also found that patients with nutritional risk had a higher postoperative drainage volume (t=2.42, P<0.05), a longer hospital length of stay (t=2.48, P<0.05), and a higher hospitalization costs (t=2.45, P<0.05) than patients with normal nutrition and the differences were all statistically significant.  Conclusion   Nutritional risk is common in patients with lung cancer surgery and is associated with gender, age, surgical method and grade, and BMI. And the occurrence of nutritional risk can increase postoperative drainage volume, prolong hospital stay, and increase hospitalization costs. Therefore, nutritional risk screening and timely intervention for lung cancer surgery patients can improve their clinical outcomes.

DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2020.02.016
Objective  To investigate the nutritional risk, malnutrition and nutritional treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients in the Third Hospital of Jilin University. Methods  Patients with non-hodgkin’s lymphoma in the Third Hospital of Jilin University from October 2017 to October 2019 were selected as the study subjects. Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was used for nutritional risk screening within 48hours after admission to investigate the incidence of malnutrition and record the nutritional treatment during hospitalization. Results  The incidence of nutritional risk was 52.24% (n=70) in 134 patients. There were two sources of malnutrition: the incidence rate of malnutrition was 13.43% (n=18), and the BMI<18.5kg/m2, respectively, was 13.45% (n=14). There was no significant difference between male and female patients in the incidence of nutritional risk and malnutrition (P>0.05). The incidence of nutritional risk and malnutrition in patients ≥60 years old was higher than that in patients<60 years old (P<0.05). The proportion of nutritional risk patients receiving nutritional therapy was 54.29%.  Conclusion  The incidence of nutritional risk and malnutrition is high in patients with non-hodgkin’s lymphoma. NRS 2002 can screen out these patients and provide a basis for clinical rational nutritional treatment.

225 Study on the mechanism of miR-4298 targeting TGIF2 influencing the proliferation and migration of multiple myeloma cells
Du Jingzhu, Chen Qi, Yin Hao, Li Feng
DOI: 10.16689/j.cnki.cn11-9349/r.2020.02.017
Objective  To investigate the effect of microRNA-4298 (miR-4298) on proliferation, migration and invasion of multiple myeloma cells and its possible mechanism. Methods  Fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression level of miR-4298 in multiple myeloma cell lines (U-266, SKO-007, RPMI-8226); RPMI-8226 cells were randomly divided into the control group (conventional cultured cells),  the miR -NC group (negative control of miR-4298 transfection), and the miR-4298 group (miR-4298 mimic transfection); qPCR detection of transfection effect, using cell count (CCK-8), cell scratch and Transwell test respectively RPMI-8226 cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability, TargetScan prediction, dual luciferase reporter gene verification miR-4298 and transforming growth interaction factor 2 (IGFIF2) targeting relationship; Western blot detection of TGIF2 protein levels.Results  The expression of miR-4298 in multiple myeloma cell lines (U-266, SKO-007, RPMI-8226) were down-regulated (P<0.05). Up-regulation of miR-4298 inhibited the proliferation of RPMI-8226 cells (P<0.05), and decreased the migration and invasion of RPMI-8226 cells (P<0.05). TGIF2 was the downstream target gene of miR-4298. miR-4298 was negatively correlated with TGIF2 protein level. Up-regulation of TGIF2 could reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-4298 on proliferation, migration and invasion of RPMI-8226 cells. Conclusion  miR-4298 is down-regulated in multiple myeloma cell lines, which may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of RPMI-8226 cells by inhibiting TGIF2.

Objective  To investigate the influencing factors of quality of life and individualized nutritional intervention in patients with gastric cancer after chemotherapy. Methods  From January 2017 to January 2019, 100 patients admitted to Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were divided into the observation group (n=50) and the control group (n=50) given different nutritional intervention. The patients in the observation group were treated with individualized nutrition intervention, while the control group was treated with routine nutrition intervention. The changes of body mass index, nutrition index and peripheral blood index, the probability of complications and the score of quality of life in the two groups were compared before and after chemotherapy, and the factors affecting the quality of life of patients with gastric cancer after chemotherapy were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results  The body mass index (BMI), nutrition index (PNI), prealbumin (PALB), serum albumin (ALB) and transferrin (TRF) were significantly higher in the observation group than those in the control group. After nutritional intervention, BMI and TRF in the two groups showed an upward trend compared with those before chemotherapy, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The probability of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group.( χ2=4.336,P=0.037). After chemotherapy, the scores of overall health status in the two groups were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the scores in the three symptom areas in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that lymph node metastasis, monthly household income ≤5000 yuan, combined organ resection, rural residence and malnutrition were the main factors affecting the quality of life of gastric cancer patients after chemotherapy.  Conclusion  Lymph node metastasis, working condition, combined organ resection, surgical scope and nutritional status have important effects on the quality of life of patients with gastric cancer after chemotherapy. Individualized nutrition intervention can promote the improvement of physical indexes of patients with gastric cancer after chemotherapy, which is beneficial to improve the quality of life of patients with gastric cancer.

Prostate cancer is among one of the most common malignant tumors in men, and androgen deprivation therapy is the first-line treatment for prostate cancer. Prolonged androgen deprivation therapy for patients with prostate cancer who continues to be in a state of low androgen will have a series of metabolic and nutritional problems, including increased risk of obesity, diabetes, abnormal fat metabolism, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease, etc. The adverse health effect has a negative influence on patient’s quality of life, the implementation of cancer sequential treatments, and the prognosis. However, there are few relevant researches in this field. This article focuses on the metabolism and nutritional issues of prolonged androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer patients, discusses in-depth on the obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, and prospects for future research.

The incidence of malnutrition in cancer patients is very high. Malnutrition will reduce the clinical efficacy,survival rate, and affect the quality of life of patients. Malnutrition and tumor metastasis interact and promote each other, which are the higher the incidence of malnutrition, the higher the rate of tumor infiltration and metastasis, the more severe the degree of malnutrition infiltration and metastasis. At the same time, with the metastasis of tumors, the incidence of malnutrition in patients also increases, ultimately, increasing the mortality rate of patients. The underlying cause of malnutrition in cancer patients is reduced nutrient intake and increased consumption. Various complications caused by the tumor itself, metabolic disorders caused by the tumor, various inflammatory factors secreted by the tumor cells, various adverse reactions and surgical complications during the treatment, and psychological factors of anxiety and depression of patients are all related to malnutrition. Malnutrition promotes tumor metastasis, and its specific mechanism may be related to the impaired immune function, inflammatory response, decreased leptin level, angiopoietin-like protein, autophagy of tumor cells, and so on. The treatment of malnutrition in patients can reduce the risk of tumor metastasis and prevent tumor metastasis can improve the nutritional status of patients. The study of the mechanisms related to malnutrition and infiltration and metastasis in cancer patients can provide a new direction for tumor treatment.

Colorectal cancer is a common gastrointestinal tumor with a high incidence of severe malnutrition. Chemotherapy is one of the common treatment methods for colorectal cancer and is independently related to malnutrition. After chemotherapy, the risk of malnutrition is further exacerbated. At the same time, malnutrition can lead to poor chemotherapy efficacy and poor prognosis of patients, and increase chemotherapy-related adverse reactions, affect patients’ the quality of life and reduce survival rate. Nutritional support therapy plays an important role in comprehensive tumor treatment, which can effectively improve the nutritional status of patients, and multiple disciplinary team is an effective nutritional intervention model. The current nutritional support therapy mainly includes nutrition consultation, oral nutritional supplements, enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition. Relevant guidelines and research indicate that oral nutritional supplements and enteral nutrition should be preferred in nutritional support therapy, and parenteral nutrition is only performed when the nutritional deficiency after the above treatment or enteral nutrition is not available. This paper reviews the relationship between nutritional status and chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients, and the latest research progress and related guidelines of nutritional support therapy, in order to attract clinical attention to nutritional support therapy in colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and provide reference.

Abnormal metabolism in tumor patients, known as the metabolic reprogramming of tumor is one of the key characteristics of tumorigenesis. The rapid-growth tumor is compelled to compete for more nutrient. The need for high energy and low-energy aerobic glycolysis allow the body’s functional proteins to be used as energy, making it difficult to meet the normal physiological needs of patients. The complex nutritional metabolism of tumors and excessive protein consumption can reduce muscle mass and impair muscle function in cancer patients. The initial research of our team found that postoperative fatigue syndrome generally occurs in patients with abdominal tumors, and skeletal muscle function was significantly decreased after undergoing perioperative fasting and gastrointestinal surgery remodeling. Further clinical studies indicated that sarcopenia is an independent predictor of prognosis in patients with gastrointestinal tumors regardless of nutritional risk. Therefore, sarcopenia is an important concern for tumor patients during the perioperative period. It is of great clinical significance to include the diagnostic standard of sarcopenia in routine screening for tumor patients before surgery. It would enhance recovery after surgery and improve clinical outcomes if proper clinical interventions were carried out   for the tumor patients with sarcopenia, and it  would improve the life quality of tumor patients and reduce healthcare costs.
