Purpose: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) sometimes induces parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD). Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) acts as a potent hepatocyte mitogen anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions. We aimed to evaluate the effect of HGF on PNALD in a rat model of TPN.
Methods: A catheter was placed in the right jugular vein for 7-day continuous TPN. All rats were divided into three groups: TPN alone (TPN group), TPN plus intravenous HGF at 0.3 mg/kg/day [TPN + HGF (low) group], and TPN plus HGF at 1.0 mg/kg/day [TPN + HGF (high) group]. On day 7, livers were harvested and the histology, inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis were evaluated.
Results: Histologically, lipid droplets were apparent in the TPN group, but decreased in the TPN + HGF (low) and TPN + HGF (high) groups. The histological nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity scores in the TPN + HGF (low) and TPN + HGF (high) groups were significantly lower than that in the TPN group (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the inflammatory cytokine levels of the three groups. The caspase-9 expression levels in the TPN + HGF (low) and TPN + HGF (high) groups were significantly decreased in comparison to that in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The intravenous administration of HGF attenuated hepatic steatosis induced by 7-day TPN dose dependently.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in intestinal failure (IF) patients after different modes of intestinal rehabilitation.
Methods: HRQoL was assessed using the generic 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36, ver. 2) and visual analogue scale (VAS) in 6 different areas: diet, sleep, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, and other symptoms.

The achievement of recommended calorie targets for parenteral nutrition in pediatric patients receiving treatment in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in Indonesia remains suboptimal, necessitating cautious implementation of this nutritional intervention alone. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and partial parenteral nutrition (PPN) in achieving the calorie requirements of pediatric patients receiving treatments in the PICU. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the PICU at H.

Background: Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis often experience intestinal failure throughout the course of their disease, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) can be used as a temporary solution or as a bridge to definitive cytoreductive surgery. Guidelines for TPN are well established for inpatients and in 2014, guidelines were established for the initiation of TPN for outpatients in a home setting. However, the safety and efficacy of home start TPN in advanced oncology patients remain unknown.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients often receive consecutive intensive chemotherapy, which can lead to gastrointestinal complications and acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), placing patients at high nutritional risk.
Aim: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the benefits of nutritional support in maintaining nutritional status, reducing weight loss without increasing the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) or liver dysfunction, and improving clinical outcomes in HSCT patients at high nutritional risk.
Methods: A total of 526 patients who underwent HSCT were included in the study.
