For this purpose, 10 male medical students--free of any metabolic disorders--received modified batches of one fat emulsion (Lipovenös), differing with respect to particle size or emulsifier. The emulsions were applied using a pump-controlled continuous infusion technique. The dosage was calculated according to body weight: 0.1 g/kg B.W./h. There was a 7-10 day interval between one application and the following study period, again using the same volunteers. Thus every volunteer served as his own control. Routine laboratory parameters as well as parameters relating to fat metabolism were measured. While routine laboratory parameters were not statistically different between the groups, pharmacokinetic data showed differences according to the batches used. Highest triglyceride and free fatty acid levels i.s. were present after application of the emulsion with low medium particle size, while lowest levels were found after increasing the particle size to 380 nm. In addition, it could be documented that an increase in medium particle size resulted in higher elimination rate, transfer and pool size. The modified emulsifier led to an additional increase of these effects, thus inducing beneficial metabolic profiles.

Based on the results of multivariate, statistical analyses of numerous biochemical, anthropometric and immunologic parameters in 63 patients with gastric carcinoma, we can now simplify the determination of the nutritional state considerably. With the help of cluster analysis and together with clinical aspects, the nutritional state can be divided into 2 groups ('normal' and 'disturbed'), in contrast to the former classification ('normal' and several degrees of disturbed). Using discrimination analysis, a combination of parameters was found which allows a sufficiently good classification of subjects into either the 'normal' group or the 'disturbed' group, and in this way characterizes the nutritional state. Classification of the patients is accurate in 97% of the cases. 6 practically relevant parameters were determined with the discrimination analysis: serum albumin, serum transferrin, hemoglobin, upper arm circumference, triceps skin fold thickness, and the intracutaneous skin test quotient. The nutritional quotient, EQ2, can be determined from these values (in comparison to the nutritional quotient, EQ1, which is based on the 33 point evaluation scale), thus enabling a quantification of the nutritional state. The use of only individual parameters yields major differences from the results obtained with 6 parameters. However, a relation between the nutritional state and the existing immuno-competence can be suspected when the results - especially of the skin test reactions - are in agreement with the results of the lymphocyte transformation. The test results of cell-mediated immunity in particular represent the extent of a reduced immunological reaction as opposed to the results of humoral immunity. Inclusion of less complex immunological investigation procedures must be reserved for future studies. The determination of daily urea production (urea production rate; dependent on protein supply) can be implemented as a practically relevant and reliable supplemental test for the evaluation of the existing metabolic state.</p>","PeriodicalId":75931,"journal":{"name":"Infusionstherapie und klinische Ernahrung","volume":"14 Suppl 1 ","pages":"17-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14236786","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}
