The effect of preoperative oral nutritional supplementation on surgical site infections among adult patients undergoing elective surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Am J Surg 2023; 226:330-339. [PMID: 37385857 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2023.06.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mixed findings are reported on the effect of oral nutritional supplements in reducing Surgical Site Infections (SSIs). MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMED, EMBASE and Cochrane were searched. Studies from inception to July 2022 were included if they involved adults undergoing elective surgery and compared preoperative macronutrient oral nutritional supplements to placebo/standard diet. RESULTS Of 372 unique citations, 19 were included (N = 2480): 13 RCTs (N = 1506) and 6 observational studies (N = 974). Moderate-certainty evidence suggested that nutritional supplements SSI risk (OR 0.54, 95% C.I. 0.40-0.72, N = 2718 participants). In elective colorectal surgery, this risk-reduction was 0.43 (95% C.I. 0.26-0.61, N = 835 participants) and among patients who received Impact 0.48 (95% C.I. 0.32-0.70, N = 1338). CONCLUSION Oral nutritional supplements prior to adult elective surgery may significantly reduce SSIs, with an overall 50% protective effect. This protective effect persisted in subgroup analysis of colorectal surgery patients and the use of Impact.

Abstract
Background Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in Finland and worldwide. Cancer-related malnutrition is a well-known risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality after surgery, and it is associated with complications and longer hospitalizations. There are no established recommendations on how to improve the nutritional status of colon cancer patients´ during the perioperative phase. Administration of simple oral nutritional supplements has been suggested to reduce complication rates, but evidence to support this practice is scarce. Methods The Peri-Nutri trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. Its primary endpoint is to evaluate whether perioperative oral nutritional support (ONS) decreases the number of complications during the 30-day follow-up after surgery. Secondary endpoints are to study the effect of ONS on quality of life after surgery, length of stay in institutional care, 90-day mortality rate, five-year disease-free survival and overall survival. The patients with a Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS-2002) questionnaire result between 2 and 5 (≥ 3 are classified at risk of malnutrition) will be randomized (1:1 ratio) into either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive preoperative ONS two weeks before the operation, and nutritional support will continue 10 days after the operation. The control group will not receive ONS. A total of 318 patients will be randomized into two groups and patients are followed five years. Discussion Peri-Nutri study evaluate the impact of ONS to short-term and long-term postoperative morbidity and mortality rates of colon cancer patients undergoing curative surgery. If ONS will decrease patients´ morbidity and mortality, that has a huge impact on patients´ quality of life and also to financial cost.

Effect of enteral ecoimmunonutrition support for patients undergoing hepatectomy: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Eur J Clin Nutr 2022; 76:1133-1141. [PMID: 35165427 DOI: 10.1038/s41430-022-01073-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether to conduct enteral ecoimmunonutrition (EEIN) in patients undergoing hepatectomy remains controversial. This study aimed to systematically explore the efficacy and safety of EEIN in patients undergoing hepatectomy. SUBJECT We performed searches in the Embase, PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases. RESULTS A total of 9 randomized controlled trials (705 patients) were included. The meta-analysis revealed a significantly shorter time to first postoperative flatus (h) (MD, -14.60; 95% CI, -16.06~-13.15; P < 0.00001); lower levels of alanine aminotransferase (µmol/L) (MD, -22.26; 95% CI, -28.42~-16.10; P < 0.00001), aspartate transaminase (µmol/L) (MD, -53.79; 95% CI, -57.37~-50.21; P < 0.00001), total bilirubin (µmol/L) (MD, -16.28; 95% CI, -17.77~-14.79; P < 0.00001), direct bilirubin (µmol/L) (MD, -8.77; 95% CI, -9.65~-7.88; P < 0.00001), endotoxin (ng/L) (MD, -0.78; 95% CI, -0.88~-0.68; P < 0.00001), tumor necrosis factor-α (pg/ml) (MD, -79.69; 95% CI, -99.90~-59.49; P < 0.00001), and interleukin-6 (pg/ml) (MD, -46.29; 95% CI, -50.24~-42.34; P < 0.00001); and higher levels of immunoglobulin A (g/L) (MD, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.14~0.35; P < 0.00001), immunoglobulin G (g/L) (MD, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.22~1.82; P < 0.00001), and immunoglobulin M (g/L) (MD, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.05~0.20; P = 0.0007) in the EEIN group than in the enteral or parenteral nutrition (EN/PN) groups. CONCLUSION Enteral ecoimmunonutrition support in patients undergoing hepatectomy may effectively protect liver function, reduce serum endotoxin levels and inflammatory factors, improve the immune function of patients, and promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, which is worthy of clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is common among patients with cancer and is a known risk factor for poor postoperative outcomes; however, preoperative nutritional optimization guidelines are lacking in this high-risk population. The objective of this study was to review the evidence regarding preoperative nutritional optimization of patients undergoing general surgical operations for the treatment of cancer. METHODS A literature search was performed across the Ovid (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library (Wiley), Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and Web of Science (Clarivate) databases. Eligible studies included randomized clinical trials, observational studies, reviews, and meta-analyses published between 2010 and 2020. Included studies evaluated clinical outcomes after preoperative nutritional interventions among adult patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Data extraction was performed using a template developed and tested by the study team. RESULTS A total of 5,505 publications were identified, of which 69 studies were included for data synthesis after screening and full text review. These studies evaluated preoperative nutritional counseling, protein-calorie supplementation, immunonutrition supplementation, and probiotic or symbiotic supplementation. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative nutritional counseling and immunonutrition supplementation should be considered for patients undergoing surgical treatment of gastrointestinal malignancy. For malnourished patients, protein-calorie supplementation should be considered, and for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery, probiotics or symbiotic supplementation should be considered.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and affects patients of all genders, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic status. While the causes of HCC are numerous, the primary etiology is cirrhosis from alcohol and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the United States and from infectious agents such as Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in the developing world. In patients at-risk for developing HCC, screening is recommended with ultrasound imaging and alpha fetoprotein laboratory tests. In socioeconomically vulnerable patients, however, individual-level barriers (eg, insurance status) and contextual-level disparities (eg, health facilities) may not be readily available, thus limiting screening. Additional challenges faced by racial/ethnic minorities can further challenge the spectrum of HCC care and lead to inadequate screening, delayed diagnosis, and unequal access to treatment. Efforts to improve these multilevel factors that lead to screening and treatment disparities are critical to overcoming challenges. Providing health insurance to those without access, improving societal challenges that confine patients to a lower socioeconomic status, and reducing challenges to seeking healthcare can decrease the morbidity and mortality of these patients. Additionally, engaging with communities and allowing them to collaborate in their own healthcare can also help to attenuate these inequities. Through collaborative multidisciplinary change, we can make progress in tackling disparities in vulnerable populations to achieve health equity

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is closely associated with morbidity after pancreatic surgery. We investigated the impact of preoperative nutritional support and rehabilitation on patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of 101 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Skeletal muscle (SM) loss was defined using the SM index (cutoff level: 42 cm2/m2 in men and 38 cm2/m2 in women). A total of 33 and 30 patients received preoperative nutrition and prehabilitation, respectively. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) values were calculated during the first visit and immediately before surgery. RESULTS SM loss was present in 65 of 101 patients and was significantly correlated with female sex, older age, lower body mass index, and low PNI. Preoperative nutritional support and prehabilitation prevented the decrease in PNI values in patients with SM loss. The NLR significantly improved in patients with SM loss who received nutritional support and prehabilitation. In patients with SM loss, the lack of preoperative nutrition and prehabilitation was an independent risk factor for postoperative pancreatic fistula. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative nutritional support and prehabilitation may reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula in patients with SM loss and improve the surgical outcomes of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
Importance Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rapidly growing cause of chronic liver disease and is becoming a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in many developed countries. This presents major challenges for the surveillance, diagnosis and treatment of HCC. Objective To discuss the clinical challenges faced by clinicians in managing the rising number of NAFLD-HCC cases. Evidence Review MEDLINE, PubMed and Embase databases were searched using the keywords; NAFLD, HCC, surveillance, hepatectomy, liver transplantation, percutaneous ablation, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), selective internal radiotherapy treatment (SIRT) and sorafenib. Relevant clinical studies were included. Findings Current HCC surveillance programmes are inadequate because they only screen for HCC in patients with cirrhosis, whereas in NAFLD a significant proportion of HCC develops in the absence of cirrhosis. Consequently NAFLD patients often present with a more advanced stage of HCC, with a poorer prognosis. NAFLD-HCC patients also tend to be older and to have more co-morbidities compared to HCC of other etiologies. This limits the use of curative treatments such as liver resection and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Evidence suggests that although NAFLD-HCC patients who undergo liver resection or OLT have worse perioperative and short-term outcomes, overall long-term survival is comparable to HCC of other etiologies. This highlights the importance of careful patient selection, pre-habilitation and perioperative planning for NAFLD-HCC patients being considered for surgical treatment. Careful consideration is also important for non-surgical treatments, although the evidence supporting treatment selection is frequently lacking, as these patients tend to be poorly represented in clinical trials. Locoregional therapies such as percutaneous ablation and TACE may be less well tolerated and less effective in NAFLD patients with obesity or diabetes. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib may also be less effective. Conclusions and Relevance This review highlights how international guidelines, for which NAFLD traditionally has made up a small part of the evidence base, may not be appropriate for all NAFLD-HCC patients. Future guidelines need to reflect the changing landscape of HCC, by making specific recommendations for the management of NAFLD-HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In many malignancies including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), prognostic significance of host-related inflammatory / immunonutritional markers have attracted a lot of attention. However, it is unclear which is the strongest prognostic indicator for iCCA among these markers. The aim of this study was to firstly evaluate the prognostic utility of inflammatory / immunonutritional markers in resected iCCA patients using a multiple comparison in addition to a new marker, lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein (CRP) score. METHODS A total of sixty iCCA patients, who underwent surgical resection between October 2004 and April 2019, were enrolled in this study. Their clinical and pathological data were retrospectively assessed using univariate and multivariate analysis to determine prognostic predictors for disease specific survival (DSS). Moreover, these patients, who were divided into high and low groups based on lymphocyte-to-CRP score, were compared these survival outcomes using Kaplan-Meier analysis with a log-rank test. RESULTS In multivariate analysis, the significant prognostic factors were preoperative lymphocyte-to-CRP score (p = 0.008), preoperative CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR; p = 0.017), pathological T category (p = 0.003), and pathological vascular invasion (p < 0.001). Resected iCCA patients with a low lymphocyte-to-CRP score (score 0) had significant better prognosis than patients with a high score (score 1 or 2) (p = 0.016). Notably, the mortality of the high lymphocyte-to-CRP score group did not show statistically difference from the poor mortality of unresected iCCA patients (p = 0.204). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative lymphocyte-to-CRP score was the strongest prognostic indicator in iCCA patients with surgical resection. In these patients, early intervention with nutritional support should be considered prior to operation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor preoperative nutritional and immunological status are major risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with various malignancies. Lower preoperative prognostic nutrition index (PNI) is associated with higher rates of postoperative complications and poorer prognosis in those patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive value of the PNI for post-hepatectomy complications in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and evaluate its utility in the surgical procedure. METHODS This retrospective study included 510 patients who underwent open hepatectomies for HCC. The predictive value of the preoperative nutritional and immunological status for postoperative complications was assessed using the PNI. Postoperative complications were defined as grade II or higher per the Clavien-Dindo classification. Postoperative complication rates were compared according to surgical procedure (major hepatectomy vs minor hepatectomy). RESULTS Patients with postoperative complications had significantly lower PNIs than those without (43.1 ± 5.5 vs 47.0 ± 5.7, P < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, low preoperative PNI (< 45) was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications after hepatectomy (hazard ratio, 3.85). When patients were classified per their PNI (high vs low) and extent of surgical procedures (major vs minor), there were more complications among patients with low PNI than those with high PNI, regardless of the extent of surgical procedures. Specifically, the group of patients with low PNI who underwent major hepatectomy had significantly higher rates of postoperative complications than the other groups. CONCLUSIONS Adding the resection range to the PNI is useful for predicting the postoperative morbidities of hepatectomy patients.

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy with special attention to preoperative liver functional reserve. Methods Preoperative demographic and tumor-related factors were analyzed in 189 patients with HCC undergoing initial hepatectomy from August 2005 to May 2016 to identify significant prognostic factors. Results Multivariate analysis for overall survival (OS) revealed that female sex (p = 0.005), tumor size (p < 0.001) and PNI (p = 0.001) were independent prognostic factors. Compared to the High PNI group (PNI ≥ 37, n = 172), the Low PNI group (PNI < 37, n = 17) had impaired liver function and significantly poorer OS (13% vs. 67% in 5-year OS, p = 0.001) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (8 vs. 25 months in median PFS time, p = 0.002). In the subgroup of patients with a preserved liver function of LHL15 ≥ 0.9, PNI was also independent prognostic factor, and OS (21% vs. 70% in 5-year OS, p = 0.008) and RFS (8 vs. 28 months in median PFS time, p = 0.018) were significantly poorer in the Low PNI group than the High PNI group. Conclusions PNI was an independent prognostic factor for HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy. Patients with PNI lower than 37 were at high risk for early recurrence and poor patient survival, especially in the patients with preserved liver function of LHL ≥ 0.9.

Abstract
Background Perioperative use of statins is reported to improve postoperative outcomes after cardiac and non‐cardiovascular surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of statins on postoperative outcomes including complications of grade IIIa and above, posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), and 90‐day mortality rates after liver resection. Methods Patients who underwent hepatectomy between 2013 and 2017 were reviewed to identify statin users and non‐users (controls). Propensity matching was conducted for age, BMI, type of surgery and preoperative co‐morbidities to compare subgroups. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed for the following outcomes: 90‐day mortality, significant postoperative complications and PHLF. Results Of 890 patients who had liver resection during the study period, 162 (18·2 per cent) were taking perioperative statins. Propensity analysis selected two matched groups, each comprising 154 patients. Overall, 81 patients (9·1 per cent) developed complications of grade IIIa or above, and the 90‐day mortality rate was 3·4 per cent (30 patients), with no statistically significant difference when the groups were compared before and after matching. The rate of PHLF was significantly lower in patients on perioperative statins than in those not taking statins (10·5 versus 17·3 per cent respectively; P = 0·033); similar results were found after propensity matching (10·4 versus 20·8 per cent respectively; P = 0·026). Conclusion The rate of PHLF was significantly lower in patients taking perioperative statins, but there was no statistically significant difference in severe complications and mortality rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) have been used as prognostic markers in many malignancies. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical significance of the preoperative SII and AGR in high-grade glioma (HGG) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 169 patients with newly diagnosed HGG were enrolled in the current study. Overall survival (OS) of these patients was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analyses. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between OS and prognostic variables in patients with HGG. RESULTS The cut-off values for SII and AGR were 324.38 × 109/L and 1.35, respectively. An inverse correlation was observed between SII and AGR. The Kaplan-Meier survival analyses demonstrated that high SII and low AGR were associated with poor OS of patients with HGG (P = 0.002 and P = 0.012, respectively). Multivariate analyses revealed that both SII (HR 1.641, 95% CI: 1.071-2.515; P = 0.023) and AGR (HR 0.566, 95% CI: 0.335-0.956; P = 0.033) were independent predictive indicators of OS of HGG patients. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, this study demonstrated that high SII and low AGR values may serve as promising prognostic markers to identify HGG patients with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Despite improvements in safety of hepatic resection post-operative complications occur in up to a half of patients. A systematic review was undertaken to compare the effect of pre-operative and peri-operative nutritional supplementation on post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing hepatic resection for malignancy. Included studies were identified through a search of PubMed (1966 to November 2016), Embase (1947 to November 2016) and the Cochrane Library (1993 to November 2016). Eleven studies involving a total of 725 patients were included in this systematic review. BCAA supplementation in the pre-operative and peri-operative period was reported to reduce the overall complication rate by 26.9% (P = 0.01) in one cohort study while pre-operative immunonutrition was shown to reduce post-operative ascites by 25.4% (P =0.012) in another cohort study without affecting the overall complication rate. Four further studies on enteral supplementation failed to show a benefit with regards to post-operative complications. Post-operative mortality was unaffected by pre-operative and peri-operative BCAA. Both pre-operative and peri-operative nutritional supplementation have shown promising results regarding the post-operative course of patients undergoing hepatic resection for malignancy. No randomized controlled study exists directly comparing pre-operative and peri-operative nutrition and this needs to be focused on in future research.

Abstract
There is mounting evidence to support the impact of sarcopenia on the prognosis of a wide range of clinical conditions. This review examines the literature on the effect of body composition measures, including sarcopenia, on outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Available studies support the adverse impact that sarcopenia has on overall survival, response to different treatment modalities, and tumour recurrence. Some studies have identified visceral fat deposition as a negative prognostic sign, and the incorporation of body composition measures into current HCC staging schemes have been shown to improve prognostic accuracy. On the other hand, there is a paucity of studies assessing nutritional interventions in HCC and further trials are needed to inform evidence-based practice.

Abstract
Background Embryonic Liver Fodrin (ELF) is an adaptor protein of transforming growth factor (TGF-β) signaling cascade. Disruption of ELF results in mislocalization of Smad3 and Smad4, leading to compromised TGF-β signaling. c-Myc is an important oncogenic transcription factor, and the disruption of TGF-β signaling promotes c-Myc-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) carcinogenesis. However, the prognostic significance of c-Myc in HCC is less understood Methods The expression of c-Myc protein and mRNA were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and qRT- PCR, respectively. IHC was performed to detect TGF-β1 and ELF expression in HCC tissues. Their relationship with clinicopathological factors and overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) were examined. Results The expression of c-Myc protein and mRNA in HCC tissues were significantly higher in HCC area than those in normal liver tissues. However, the expression were low compared with those adjacent to HCC area. c-Myc protein was independently predictive of DFS and OS, and it was negatively correlated with tumor size (P = 0.031), tumor number (P = 0.038), and recurrence (P = 0.001). Low c-Myc expression was associated with short-term recurrence and poor prognosis. The predictive value of c-Myc combined with TGF-β1 or/and ELF was higher than that of any other single marker. Low c-Myc, high TGF-β1 or/and low ELF expression was associated with the worst DFS and OS. Conclusions Low expression of c-Myc protein predicts poor outcomes in patients with HCC with hepatectomy. The combination of the expression of c-Myc, TGF-β1, and ELF can be used to accurately predict outcomes of patients with HCC.

Abstract
Background The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is calculated based on the serum albumin concentration and the total lymphocyte count. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic ability of the PNI for postoperative complications after liver resection to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the Milan criteria. Results Postoperative complications were observed in 166 (44.6%) patients. The optimal cutoff value of the PNI was set at 45.6 for postoperative complications. Patients in the PNI-low (PNI < 45.6) group were more likely to have postoperative complications, more blood loss, a longer surgery time and a longer hospital stay than patients in the PNI-high group (PNI > 45.6). Our regression analysis demonstrated that the preoperative PNI and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score were significantly associated with postoperative complications (Pearson correlation coefficient, -0.865, p < 0.001). The multivariate analysis revealed that the PNI was an independent predictor of postoperative complications. Materials and Methods Three-hundred and seventy-two patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for HCC from 2003 to 2014 were identified. The cutoff value of the PNI was determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify clinicopathological features associated with postoperative complications. Conclusion The PNI may be a significant prognostic factor for evaluating short-term outcomes of patients with HCC after partial hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of a new multimodal nutritional management (MNM) on albumin (ALB) transfusion, the incidence of electrolyte disorders, blood loss, perioperative levels of ALB and electrolyte, length of hospital stay (LOH), and complications in patients following total knee arthroplasty without tourniquet. METHODS A total of 162 patients were randomized to receive either the MNM protocol (n = 81, experimental group) or traditional protocol (n = 81, control group). The primary outcomes were the rate and amount of ALB infusion, LOH, total blood loss, maximum hemoglobin drop, allogeneic transfusion rate, and the incidence of electrolyte disorders. The secondary outcomes were levels of ALB and electrolyte at different time points and the incidence of complications. RESULTS The rate and amount of ALB transfusion required in MNM group were significantly lower than those in control group (P = .006, P = .021, respectively). LOH was shorter in MNM group (P < .001). Total blood loss and maximum hemoglobin drop were similar. The incidence of kaliopenia and hypocalcemia was lower in MNM group on the first postoperative day (P = .019, P = .028, respectively). Patients in MNM group had higher levels of ALB, sodium, potassium, and calcium than those in control group on the first postoperative day. CONCLUSION The MNM protocol can effectively low down the amount of ALB transfusion, the number of patients requiring ALB transfusion, the incidence of electrolyte disorders, and LOH following primary total knee arthroplasty without tourniquet. Patients can obtain a smaller decline in ALB, sodium, potassium, and calcium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the preoperative nutrition status in patients with biliary atresia (BA) and its effect on the cholangitis of Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE). METHODS 106 patients who had been diagnosed with BA type III and were undergoing KPE were divided into two groups according to the score obtained using STRONGkids. Preoperative and postoperative data were collected to compare general characteristics and postoperative outcomes between the different groups. RESULTS Forty-nine (46.2%) patients were at moderate nutritional risk (MNR) and fifty-seven (53.8%) patients were at high nutritional risk (HNR) preoperatively. The MNR group had shorter postoperative hospitalization times than the HNR group (P = 0.023). The initial postoperative cholangitis occurred later (P = 0.002) and the incidence of early cholangitis was lower (P = 0.029) in patients at MNR than in those at HNR. The ratio of jaundice clearance (P = 0.02) and 2-year native liver survival (P = 0.0109) were significantly higher in MNR group than in HNR group. CONCLUSIONS Patients with BA presented the greatest nutritional deficiencies and patients at HNR are more vulnerable to the early cholangitis and the rate of jaundice clearance is lower than those at MNR. The occurrence of initial postoperative cholangitis in MNR group was later than in HNR group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Almost all hepatic cancer cells have resistance to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis. c-FLIPL and RIP-1 are apoptotic negative regulatory factors. This study investigated the role of c-FLIPL and RIP-1 in hepatic cancer cell resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS HepG2 cells were treated by TRAIL, RIP-1 siRNA, and/or BY11-7082. Cell viability was detected by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was tested by flow cytometry. DISC component proteins, RIP-1, and p-p65 were measured by Western blot. Caspase-8 and caspase-3 were determined by spectrophotometry. RESULTS Single TRAIL treatment showed no significant impact on cell proliferation and apoptosis. HepG2 cells expressed high levels of RIP1 and c-FLIPL, while a high concentration of TRAIL upregulated RIP-1 and c-FLIPL expression but not DR4 and DR5. Single TRAIL treatment did not obviously activate caspase-8 and caspase-3. RIP-1 or c-FLIPL siRNA markedly induced cell apoptosis and enhanced caspase-8 and caspase-3 activities. Combined transfection obviously increased apoptotic cells. TRAIL markedly upregulated RIP-1 expression and enhanced p-p65 protein. Downregulating RIP-1 and/or BAY11-7082 significantly reduced NF-kB transcriptional activity, blocked cells in G0/G1 phase, weakened proliferation, elevated caspase-8 and caspase-3 activities, and promoted cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS TRAIL can enhance RIP1 and c-FLIPL expression in HepG2 cells. High expression of RIP1 and c-FLIPL is an important reason for TRAIL resistance. Downregulation of RIP1 and c-FLIPL can relieve caspase-8 suppression, activate caspase-3, and promote cell apoptosis. TRAIL mediates apoptosis resistance through upregulating RIP-1 expression, enhancing NF-kB transcriptional activity, and weakening caspase activity.
