背景:本研究進行了回顧性分析研究,評估實施外科手術之重症住院病患(Surgical intensive care unit;SICU),使用全靜脈營養(Total Parenteral Nutrition;TPN)併用L-Alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide (Dipeptiven®;Aln-Gln)治療,對於免疫功能、免疫營養指標與臨床療效之影響。 方法:本研究於南部某區域教學醫院進行,經系統性篩選2008年1月到2010年12月間,選擇使用全靜脈營養(TPN)溶液≧7天之外科手術重症住院病患,在排除肝、腎功能不良、懷孕及授乳、及有酸代謝情形之後,分成全靜脈營養組(TPN組)及全靜脈營養添加Aln-Gln組(TPN + Aln-Gln組),以回溯性病歷回顧方式分析兩組間之免疫功能、免疫營養指標與臨床療效之差異。 結果:本研究總共收錄354位外科手術之重症住院病患,經排除相關條件後,有118位病患納入分析,分成兩組:全靜脈營養組(TPN組) 65位、全靜脈營養添加Aln-Gln組(TPN + Aln-Gln組)53位。兩組患者在臨床特徵,性別,年齡,身高和體重方面的比較無顯著差異 (P>0.05)。兩組患者在手術7天後免疫球蛋白(IgA、IgG、IgM) 的比較,TPN + Aln-Gln組在IgA及IgM的表現與TPN組比較有顯著提升(P<0.05),IgG的表現沒有影響(P>0.05);在免疫營養指標albumin、transferrin和prealbumin濃度的表現,TPN + Aln-Gln組在albumin、transferrin和prealbumin濃度的表現與TPN組比較,三者均有顯著提升(P<0.05);在C-反應蛋白(C-Reactive Protein;CRP)濃度的表現,TPN + Aln-Gln組與TPN組比較有顯著降低(P<0.05)。 結論:使用全靜脈營養(TPN)併用L-Alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide (Dipeptiven®)療法與單獨使用全靜脈營養(TPN)相比較,併用L-Alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide能明顯改善外科手術重症住院病患手術後的免疫營養指標功能,提升免疫功能,降低發炎指數,對患者手術後的臨床效益評估,具有實質的提升效益。
Background: The study conducted a retrospective analysis of total parenteral nutrition(TPN) and/or supplemented with L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide(Dipeptiven®; Aln-Gln) on surgical intensive care unit(SICU) patients to evaluate the benefit of immune activity, immunonutrition changes and clinical outcomes. Methods: The clinical data were collected from a regional teaching hosipital in South Taiwan during January 2008 to December 2010 under IRB approvement. All experimental subjects received TPN continuously more than 7 days were allocated equally into two groups, one is TPN group received regular TPN only, the other is TPN+Aln-Gln group received TPN supplemented with Aln-Gln. The benefit of immune activity, immunonutrition changes and clinical outcomes in these two groups were performed retrospectively with medical record review. Results: 354 patients were included in this study. Under exclusive condition(glutamine allergy; pregnancy or lactation; renal and/or liver dysfunction; severe metabolic acidosis), 118 patients were inclusive of this study. All experimental subjects were allocated into two groups, 65 cases in TPN group and 53 cases in TPN+Aln-Gln group. These two groups were no differences in terms of clinical charcteristics, gender, age, height and body weight (p>0.05). After seven days of surgery, the IgA and IgM levels of TPN+Aln-Gln group were significantly increased when compared to TPN group (P<0.05), while IgG was no different in these two groups. In immunonutritional target of albumin, prealbumin and transferrin, TPN+Aln-Gln group were significantly increased when compared to TPN group (P<0.05). In C-reactive protein(CRP) concentration, TPN+Aln-Gln group was significantly reduced when compared to TPN group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Using total parenteral nutrition(TPN) supplemented with L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide(Dipeptiven®; Aln-Gln) on surgical intensive care unit(SICU) patients was a great improvement on the increasing availability of immune function and immunonutrition when compared to using TPN only. Furthermore, it also can reduce C-reactive protein concentration. These results suggested that using total parenteral nutrition(TPN) supplemented with L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide (Dipeptiven®; Aln-Gln) on surgical intensive care unit patients was more clinical benifts than using TPN only.
