AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the effects of a glutamine-enriched peptide diet (PD) versus only dietary advice (DA) on gastrointestinal toxicity and nutrition in rectal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy.
- - Results showed that the PD group had significantly lower risks of diarrhea and mucositis during and after treatment, as well as fewer interruptions in therapy among Stage III and malnourished patients.
- - The conclusion highlighted the PD's protective benefits, suggesting it may improve the clinical outcomes for rectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Article Abstract
Background: Patients with rectal cancer may develop gastrointestinal toxicity associated with chemo-radiotherapeutic treatment that conditions their clinical, functional, and nutritional evolution. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional supplementation with a glutamine-enriched peptide diet (PD) compared to exclusive dietary advice (DA) on gastrointestinal toxicity, interruption of oncologic treatment, and nutritional evolution in patients with rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant treatment.
Methods: Prospective cohort study with two groups. Patients with rectal cancer in treatment with neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy were recruited. One group of patients received nutritional supplementation with PD, and another group received DA exclusively, from the beginning of radiotherapy until the time of surgery. Intestinal toxicity was evaluated with the CTCAE 5.0 scale, functionality with the ECOG scale and nutritional status with GLIM criteria.
Results: Fifty-four patients were initially selected, although 51 were finally enrolled: 25 in the PD group and 26 in the DA group. There was a reduction in the risk of diarrhea in the PD group midway through radiotherapy treatment [RR of 0.218 (95% CI = 0.052-0.923)] and at the end of treatment [RR of 0.103 (95% CI = 0.020-0.537)], as well as a reduction in the risk of developing mucositis at the end of treatment [RR of 0.405 (95% CI = 0.280-0.584)]. The use of a PD also decreased treatment interruptions with radiotherapy in stage III patients (0 vs. 15.8%, = 0.049) and in malnourished patients (0 vs. 18.2%, = 0.040).
Conclusion: The glutamine-enriched peptide diet had a protective effect on the development of diarrhea and mucositis associated with chemo-radiotherapeutic treatment in patients with colorectal cancer under neoadjuvant treatment, as well as the interruption of radiotherapeutic treatment.

China faces a persistent deficiency in feed protein resources. Enhancing the utilization efficiency of indigenous feed protein resources emerges as a viable strategy to alleviate the current deficit in protein feed supply. Corn gluten meal (CGM), characterized by a high proportion of crude protein and glutamine, is predominantly employed in animal feed.

Objective: To study the clinical effect of alanyl-glutamine-enriched nutritional support in the treatment of children with abdominal Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
Methods: Children with abdominal Henoch-Schönlein purpura who needed nutritional support were enrolled and stratified according to age, sex and the severity of disease, and were randomly divided into a control group (n=118) and an enriched nutritional support group (n=107). The control group was given nutritional support without using alanyl-glutamine, while the enriched nutritional support group was given alanyl-glutamine-enriched nutritional support.

The objective of this study is to explore the inflammatory modulation effect of glutamine-enriched total parenteral nutrition (TPN) by investigating the alterations of inflammation-related cytokines in gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients postoperatively. Fifty GI cancer patients received postoperative 7 days of isocaloric and isonitrogenous TPN after operation. They were randomly divided to receive either glutamine-enriched TPN or standard TPN.

Background: The effect of glutamine-enriched early enteral nutrition (Gln-EEN) on intestinal mucosal barrier injury after liver transplantation (LT) remains uncertain.
Methods: The Wistar-to-Wistar rat LT model was used to explore the protective effect of Gln-EEN. Morphologic changes of intestinal mucosa, levels of intestinal malondialdehyde and secretory immunoglobulin (sIgA), plasma endotoxin, D-lactic acid, serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), rates of bacterial translocation, and expression of intestinal nuclear factor-kappaB, TNF-alpha, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were determined.
