Perioperative Nutritional Aspects in Total Pancreatectomy: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature. Nutrients 2021; 13:1765.

Abstract
Total pancreatectomy (TP) is a highly invasive procedure often performed in patients affected by anorexia, malabsorption, cachexia, and malnutrition, which are risk factors for bad surgical outcome and even may cause enhanced toxicity to chemo-radiotherapy. The role of nutritional therapies and the association between nutritional aspects and the outcome of patients who have undergone TP is described in some studies. The aim of this comprehensive review is to summarize the available recent evidence about the influence of nutritional factors in TP. Preoperative nutritional and metabolic assessment, but also intra-operative and post-operative nutritional therapies and their consequences, are analyzed in order to identify the aspects that can influence the outcome of patients undergoing TP. The results of this review show that preoperative nutritional status, sarcopenia, BMI and serum albumin are prognostic factors both in TP for pancreatic cancer to support chemotherapy, prevent recurrence and prolong survival, and in TP with islet auto-transplantation for chronic pancreatitis to improve postoperative glycemic control and obtain better outcomes. When it is possible, enteral nutrition is always preferable to parenteral nutrition, with the aim to prevent or reduce cachexia. Nowadays, the nutritional consequences of TP, including diabetes control, are improved and become more manageable.

Abstract
Alteration in cellular energy metabolism plays a critical role in the development and progression of cancer. Leptin is a hormone secreted by adipose tissue. Recent reports have shown that leptin can induce cancer cell proliferation and regulate cell energy metabolism, but the regulatory mechanism is still unclear. Here, we showed that leptin could promote cell proliferation and maintain high adenosine triphosphate levels in HCT116 and MCF-7 cells. The expression levels of carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A (CPT1A), pyruvate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase subunit A and mitochondrial respiratory chain-associated proteins NADH dehydrogenase 1 (ND1), NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B8, and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) were distinctly increased in leptin-treated HCT116 and MCF-7 cells, while fatty acid synthase and lactate dehydrogenase expression were downregulated. Simultaneously, we found that c-Myc and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1 (PGC-1) protein expression levels were significantly increased. These results indicated that leptin boosted fatty acid β-oxidation and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, enhanced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activity, and inhibited fatty acid synthesis and glycolysis in tumor cells. Gene transfection experiments revealed that leptin could induce the expression of c-Myc. Moreover, the expressions of PGC-1, CPT1A, and TFAM proteins were downregulated in HCT116 cells with low expression of c-Myc, and the expression levels of these proteins were increased in HCT116 cells overexpressing c-Myc. These findings suggest that leptin plays an important role in the regulation of energy metabolism in tumor cells. It may regulate fatty acid oxidation and OXPHOS of tumor cells by regulating the c-Myc/PGC-1 pathway. Targeting metabolic pathways for cancer treatment has been investigated as potential preventive or therapeutic methods. This study has important implications for the clinical therapy of tumor cell metabolism through hormone regulation.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and the morbidity is growing in developed countries. According to WHO, >14 million people per year are diagnosed with cancer and about 8 million die. Anti-cancer strategy includes chemo-, immune- and radiotherapy or their combination. Unfortunately, these widely used strategies often have insufficient efficacy and significant toxic effects on healthy cells. Consequently, the improvement of treatment approaches is an important goal. One of promising schemes to enhance the effect of therapy is the restriction of calorie intake or some nutrients. The combination of caloric restriction or its chemical mimetics along with anti-cancer drugs may suppress growth of tumor cells and enhance death of cancer cells. That will allow the dose of therapeutic drugs to be decreased and their toxic effects to be reduced. Here the possibility of using this combinatory therapy as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying this approach will be discussed.

Abstract
This review addresses recent relevant advances to clinical nutrition regarding gastrointestinal disease surgery. Medline Ovid, EMBASE and Central were searched systematically in April 2014. Inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials and observational studies evaluating nutritional support in gastrointestinal surgery published within 5 years. The review included 56 relevant studies. Themes were: nutrition screening and risk factors predict outcome; preoperative nutritional support; shortening fasting periods and including carbohydrate solutions; early nutrition after surgery; immune modulating nutrition; synbiotics, growth hormone, omega-3 and oral, enteral and parenteral nutrition in combination. Screening for nutritional risk is profound, with special focus on dietary intake in the past week. Age and severity of disease need to be included in the screening system. Patients at severe nutritional risk benefit from nutritional therapy before surgery. New standards are developing quickly and clinical guidelines on surgery should include updated knowledge within clinical nutrition.

Abstract
AIM: To analyze oxidative stress in patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
METHODS: Two hundred patients with gastrointestinal cancer treated from September 2011 to September 2013 at our hospital were randomly selected and divided into a gastric cancer group (n = 100) and a colorectal cancer group (n = 100). Fifty healthy volunteers receiving physical examination during the same period at our hospital were used as controls. All study subjects were subjected to measurement of serum oxidative damage products, antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes.
RESULTS: The concentrations of protein carbonyl (PC), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in patients with gastric cancer and colorectal cancer were significantly different from those in healthy controls (4.12 nmol/L ± 1.34 nmol/L, 4.24 nmol/L ± 1.29 nmol/L vs 2.83 nmol/L ± 0.71 nmol/L; 31.93 μmol/L ± 12.34 μmol/L, 32.14 μmol/L ± 11.69 μmol/L vs 25.91 μmol/L ± 9.10 μmol/L; 2.98 nmol/L ± 1.13 nmol/L, 3.02 nmol/L ± 1.24 nmol/L vs 6.13 nmol/L ± 1.82 nmol/L; 125.91 mg/L ± 5.00 mg/L, 124.13 mg/L ± 5.00 mg/L vs 96.16 mg/L ± 68.29 mg/L, P < 0.05), although there were no significant differences between the gastric cancer and colorectal cancer groups (P > 0.05). The concentrations of glutathione, glutathione (GSH), vitamin C and vitamin E in patients with gastric cancer and colorectal cancer were significantly different from those in healthy controls (P < 0.05), although there were no significant differences between the gastric cancer and colorectal cancer groups (P > 0.05). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxide matter enzyme (GSH-Px) and catalane (CAT) activity in patients with gastric cancer and colorectal cancer were significantly different from those in healthy controls (P < 0.05), although there were no significant differences between the gastric cancer and colorectal cancer groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Patients with gastrointestinal tumors undergo oxidative stress, and evaluation of oxidative stress in patients with gastrointestinal cancer has important clinical significance in determining the occurrence of gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Taurine's role in bile acid metabolism and anti-inflammatory activity could exert a protective effect on hepatobiliary complications associated with parenteral nutrition (PN). In this study, the effects of 2 amino acid solutions, with and without taurine, on liver function administered to nonacutely ill postsurgical patients as part of a short-term PN regimen were prospectively compared. METHODS Adult patients randomly received (double-blind) Tauramin 10% or a standard PN solution without taurine as the control (1.5 g amino acid/kg body weight [bw]/d; infusion rate of ≤4 mg glucose/kg bw/d) for a period of 5-30 days. γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and other indicators of liver function, glucose metabolism, lipid profile, inflammation markers, and treatment safety data were collected. RESULTS Thirty-five patients receiving taurine PN and 39 receiving control PN were enrolled (intention-to-treat [ITT] population). Most patients (n = 62) discontinued after day 7 of follow-up (per-protocol [PP] population: n = 24 and n = 27, respectively). ITT patients with high GGT values after 5 days of PN comprised 68.6% and 64.1%, respectively. The mean change in GGT values with respect to the baseline values was 167 ± 192 and 157 ± 185 IU/L, respectively. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels after 7 days of PN were significantly decreased in the taurine PN group of PP patients (-2.83 ± 30.9 vs 23.9 ± 27.0 mg/dL for control PN; P < .05). None of the adverse events reported (taurine PN: n = 6; control PN: n = 7) were treatment related. CONCLUSION PN solutions with and without taurine had similar effects on liver function parameters, except for an LDL reduction in PN with taurine, when administered to nonacutely ill postsurgical patients in the short term (5-7 days).

Abstract
Chemosensitization means enhancing the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapy with certain methods for better efficacy. Tumor progression depends on stimulation of multiple hormones, decrease in hormones during chemotherapy induces G0/G1 arrest of tumor cells, which may be the main cause for chemoresistance. Some of the choriocarcinoma and testicular tumors are curable with chemotherapy only, underlying mechanism may refer high level of human chorionic gonadotropin, which has thyroid stimulating hormone like effect and even induce hyperthyroidism in these patients. Some of these patients usually have high levels of thyroid hormones or suffer thyroid crisis during chemotherapy. Possibly owning to the proliferative or metabolic promotion effect of thyroid hormones and/or other endocrine hormones, which can promote tumor cells in G0 phase metabolizing actively or stepping into division cycle again, tumors are more sensitive to chemotherapy. Both endocrinotherapy and chemotherapy are major therapies for tumor, traditional endocrinotherapy suppresses tumor progression through decreasing tumor-dependent hormones or competitively combining and blocking hormone receptors. While, chemotherapy mostly killed tumor cells that proliferate actively, because tumor cells retardant in G0 phase by endocrinotherapy are no more sensitive to chemotherapy, endocrinotherapy cannot be concurrently used with chemotherapy. Nevertheless, decrease in hormones during chemotherapy is similar to concurrently using endocrinotherapy and chemotherapy. It has been found in some basic researches that some chemotherapeutics concurrently combined with endocrine hormones can achieve better efficacy compared with chemotherapy only. It is therefore hypothesized in this article that decrease in hormones during chemotherapy causes cell cycle arrest and renders tumor cells insensitive to chemotherapy; addition of endocrine hormones to mimic the hormones and microenvironment changes during chemotherapy for patients with choriocarcinoma or testicular tumor-curable with chemotherapy only, will rescue tumor cells from cell cycle arrest rendering them sensitive to chemotherapy. This new combinative therapy of concurrently using endocrine hormones and chemotherapy is defined as choriocarcinoma-mimic chemotherapy or neo-endocrinochemotherapy to distinguish the routine term of endocrinochemotherapy and is expected to be a novel approach to enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy in clinic.

Abstract
Cachexia, malnutrition, significant weight loss, and reduction in food intake due to anorexia represent the most important pathophysiological consequences of pancreatic cancer. Pathophysiological consequences result also from pancreatectomy, the type and severity of which differ significantly and depend on the type of the operation performed. Nutritional intervention, either parenteral or enteral, needs to be seen as a method of support in pancreatic cancer patients aiming at the maintenance of the nutritional and functional status and the prevention or attenuation of cachexia. Oral nutrition could reduce complications while restoring quality of life. Enteral nutrition in the post-operative period could also reduce infective complications. The evidence for immune-enhanced feed in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer is supported by the available clinical data. Nutritional support during the post-operative period on a cyclical basis is preferred because it is associated with low incidence of gastric stasis. Postoperative total parenteral nutrition is indicated only to those patients who are unable to be fed orally or enterally. Thus nutritional deficiency is a relatively widesoread and constant finding suggesting that we must optimise the nutritional status both before and after surgery.
