The objective of the present study was to evaluate the nutritional value of an enteral diet based on \"soya milk\", corn sugar, coconut oil and water. Seven alcoholics, males, with 36.4 year mean age, without any clinical evidence of hepatic cirrhosis and/or pancreatitis, were submitted to three periods of metabolic nitrogen balance (NB), with multiple levels of protein intake (0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 grams of proteins/kg of body weight/day). The nitrogen intake (NI), the fecal nitrogen (FN) and the urinary nitrogen (UN) were determined, and the NB and protein digestibility value were calculated. The net protein utilization (NPU) was calculated by correlation studies between the NI and NB, with a value of 101.3%. The mean true digestibility was 100.1% and the mean requirement for that population was 0.5g protein/kg of body weight/day. Using a 97.5% confidence limit, the protein requirement of the enteral diet was calculated to be 0.8g protein/kg of body weight/day. The enteral diet based on \"soya milk\" can be profitable for this group of patients. It is a good alternative for use in enteral nutrition, easily available, well tolerable, and of high biological value.</p>","PeriodicalId":75471,"journal":{"name":"AMB : revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira","volume":"37 4","pages":"163-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12834394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Afterward, more than 100 experimental liver transplant were performed in animals of medium size (dogs and pigs). From September, 1989 to July 1991, 12 liver transplants were performed on 9 children (3 retransplants) ranging in age from 2.5 to 17 years, being 5 boys and 4 girls. The donors had been selected according to the ABO blood group and body weight. Just once a blood A+ recipient received a liver from a blood O+ donor. The regular postoperative immunosuppression consisted of triple therapy with cyclosporin, prednisone and azathioprine. The postoperative stay in the Intensive Care Unit ranged from 3 to 24 days, according to the necessity of ventilatory support. These was no intraoperative mortality, arterial or venous thromboses, or early biliary complications. The overall survival is 78% (7/9).
