Objective: To explore the clinical study of glutamine combined with early enteral nutrition support on the nutritional status of gastric cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Methods: Divided into control and observation groups, a control group received routine enteral nutrition, while the observation group received an additional 0.5 g/kg/d of glutamine. The researchers measured nutritional indicators, immunoglobulins, T lymphocyte subsets, and stress indexes such as fasting blood sugar and C-reactive protein throughout the study.
Results: Before nutritional support, there was no significant difference in the HGB, TP, and ALB levels. During nutritional support, however, the observation group began registering significantly higher levels of HGB, TP, and ALB, suggesting that glutamine intervention can improve the nutritional status of patients. Throughout the study, the CD4+ level showed a consistent increase in the observation group. The levels of IgA and IgG in the observation group also grew significantly higher. Both groups had higher blood glucose levels before nutritional support. However, on day 8 and day 15, the levels decreased. The observation group had significantly lower fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels than the control group. By day 15, the FBG levels in the observation group were close to normal. The CRP level showed a consistent decrease in the observation group compared to the control group on day 8 and day 15. Glutamine intervention appears to improve the stress capacity of gastric cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Overall, the findings suggest that glutamine intervention in enteral nutrition can significantly improve immune function, nutritional status, and stress capacity in gastric cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and appears to be more effective than conventional enteral nutrition.
Conclusion: The combination of glutamine and early enteral nutrition support can significantly improve gastric cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy's nutritional status and immune function levels. It is a safe and reliable enteral nutrition support method worthy of clinical promotion.

Background: Power-controlled radiofrequency ablation with irrigated-tip catheters has been the norm for ventricular ablation for almost 2 decades. New catheter technology has recently integrated more accurate tissue temperature sensing enabling temperature-controlled irrigated ablation. We aimed to investigate the in vivo ablation parameters and lesion formation characteristics in ventricular myocardium using a novel temperature-controlled radiofrequency catheter.

Background: Earlier identification of high coronary artery disease (CAD) risk individuals may enable more effective prevention strategies. However, existing 10-year risk frameworks are ineffective at earlier identification. We sought to understand how the variable importance of genomic and clinical factors across life stages may significantly improve lifelong CAD event prediction.

Background: Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), mainly known for its neuroprotective properties, belongs to the IL-6 (interleukin-6) cytokine family. In contrast to IL-6, the effects of CNTF on the vasculature have not been explored. Here, we examined the role of CNTF in AngII (angiotensin II)-induced hypertension.

Background: Protein-truncating mutations in the titin gene are associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation. However, little is known about the underlying pathophysiology.
Methods: We identified a heterozygous titin truncating variant (TTNtv) in a patient with unexplained early onset atrial fibrillation and normal ventricular function.
