A total of 82 patients with gastrointestinal surgery were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2020 and December 2022 for this study. The patients were divided into two equalsized control and treatment groups. The control group received routine care, whereas the treatment group received added nutritional care. Compared to the control group, the first exhaust time, first defecation time, and hospitalization time in the treatment group were shorter (P < 0.01). On the 7th day after surgery, no difference was found in the levels of albumin and total protein between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, on the 4th and 7th days after surgery, the diamine oxidase and malondialdehyde values in the treatment group were lower relative to the control group. Body weight in the treatment group was higher, the incidence of complications was lower, and the quality-of-life score and immune function were better compared to the control group (P < 0.05). To sum up, early nutritional care is beneficial to improving the immune function indexes, nutritional indexes, and quality of life of patients after gastrointestinal surgery, as well as reducing the occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions.","PeriodicalId":10976,"journal":{"name":"Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139360675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therapeutic outcomes of two treatments were compared by assessing lower left ventricular end systolic diameter, lower left ventricular end diastolic diameter, higher left ventricular ejection fraction, duration of angina pectoris, number of angina attacks, dosage of nitroglycerin needed, plasma viscosity, whole blood viscosity, fibrinogen level, pro-inflammatory markers, as well as 36-item Short Form Survey scores. The total therapeutic rate was better in the group receiving both puerarin and nicorandil than puerarin alone. No difference was discovered in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. This led us to conclude that puerarin combined with nicorandil is more effective in treating coronary heart disease and angina pectoris and can improve cardiac functions, lessen chemodynamic indexes and inflammatory reactions of angina pectoris, and promote the quality of life of patients.","PeriodicalId":10976,"journal":{"name":"Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research","volume":"148 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69758093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we have explored whether a simultaneous intake of medium-chain fatty acids and d-allulose may exhibit a greater reduction in de novo lipogenesis and increase their antiobesity effects. To this end, 32 male Wistar rats were divided into four treatment groups of equal sizes: control, 3% d-allulose-treated, 5% medium-chain triglycerides-treated, and 3% d-allulose + 5% medium-chain triglycerides-treated. After 8 weeks of ad libitum exposure to these diets, d-allulose significantly decreased intra-abdominal adipose tissue and total body fat weight, with or without medium-chain triglyceride supplementation. The antiobesity effect of d-allulose was observed with or without dietary medium-chain triglyceride supplementation in high-fat diet-induced obese rats, but no synergistic effect was detected between d-allulose and medium-chain triglycerides.","PeriodicalId":10976,"journal":{"name":"Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69758107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty (n = 20, 10 females) apparently healthy adults with a body mass index >24.9 kg/m2 were assigned to receive 0.5 L per day of hydrogen-rich water (7.5 mg of hydrogen) or hydrogen-free water (tap water) for 12 weeks. Two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures revealed a significant difference between the two interventions in several body composition indices (P ≤ 0.05), with hydrogen-rich water superior to placebo to reduce waist circumference and mid-upper arm circumference by 1.31 cm (95% confidence interval, from –0.23 to 2.85) and 0.65 cm (95% confidence interval, from –0.10 to 1.40), respectively. Hydrogen-rich water outcompeted placebo to raise serum ghrelin levels, as the mean difference from the placebo group was 17.28 pmol/L (95% confidence interval, from 1.81 to 32.75) (P = 0.02). A non-significant strong positive trend (P = 0.10) was reported toward hydrogen-rich water being superior to placebo in augmenting total serum short-chain fatty acid levels, with a mean difference from the control group of 195.6 μmol/L (95% confidence interval, from –64.55 to 275.85). The mean fecal calprotectin levels were significantly reduced after hydrogen-rich water intervention for 19.7 μg/mg (95% confidence interval, from 0.31 to 39.09) (P = 0.03). Our findings advance hydrogen-rich water as a promising metabolic intervention in overweight adults, but further validation via multicentric longitudinal randomized controlled trials in metabolic and nutritional disorders is required.","PeriodicalId":10976,"journal":{"name":"Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48793610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thyroid hormone has a crucial role in maintaining a wide array of metabolic homeostasis. In addition to calcium and bone metabolism, vitamin D influences nonskeletal activities, including the thyroid gland. Therefore, hypovitaminosis D is considered a risk factor for the emergence of many thyroid dysfunctions. In this investigation, we aimed to investigate the association of vitamin D and serum calcium levels with thyroid dysfunction. In this investigation, 2,735 (1,438 females and 1,297 males) laboratory findings from the public, government hospital laboratories, and medical clinics serving chronic patients in the south region (Asir region) of Saudi Arabia were screened over the course of one year. The vitamin D level was significantly lower in both female and male patients in the hypothyroidism category than in the hyperthyroidism and euthyroidism groups. The influence of total serum calcium level was not significant in any thyroid dysfunction category. A high prevalence of normal levels of total serum calcium was observed in all thyroid status groups. A partial correlation between total serum calcium and vitamin D and TSH among thyroid dysfunction patients demonstrated a significant negative correlation between vitamin D and TSH and a nonsignificant negative correlation between total serum calcium level and TSH among hypothyroidism categories. However, in the hypothyroidism group, total serum calcium demonstrated a negative correlation with TSH, while vitamin D showed a positive correlation with TSH.","PeriodicalId":10976,"journal":{"name":"Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44810357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Groups B, C and D, especially group D, had shorter duration of lochia and faster descending speed of uterine fundus height than group A. All the four groups showed decreased uterine cavity volume after treatment, with the lowest volume found in group D. In terms of clinical efficacy, group D also had better treatment outcomes than the other three groups. Furthermore, the breast fullness degree and lactation yield scores were higher in group D than other groups, whilst the four groups were not statistically different in the incidence of adverse reactions. Shorter length of maternal hospital stays, and uterus recovery time were found in group D.
