Abstract
With the term "pharmaconutrition" or "immunonutrition" is intended the use of specific nutritional substrates having the ability of modulating specific mechanisms involved in several immune and inflammatory pathways. To achieve these goals, these substrates have to be administered with over physiologic dose. Glutamine and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, used as single substrate, did not show clear clinical advantages on solid endpoints such as postoperative complications. Despite several multiple substrate enteral feeds are available on the market, very few of them have been tested in randomized clinical trial to prove efficacy. The most extensive investigated formulation is a combination of arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, ribonucleic acid with or without glutamine. Several meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials have been conducted to compare the effects of enteral immunonutrition with control diets on post-surgical morbidity. The results consistently showed that the use of enteral multiple substrate formulas significantly reduced infectious complications and duration of hospitalization. In a more contemporary view, pharmaconutrition should be tested more accurately in the contest of enhanced recovery programs, during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and in the prehabilitation setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of nutrition in donor after brain deaths (DBDs) has yet to be adequately discussed. The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether the nutritional intake in the 48 h before organ retrieval may play a role on the graft functional recovery assessed with Model for Early Allograft Function (MEAF) Score. METHODS Single-center retrospective study evaluating all liver transplants performed at the University Hospital of Udine from January 2010 to August 2020. Patients receiving grafts from DBD donors fed with artificial enteral nutrition in the 48 h prior to organ procurement (EN-group) or who did not (No-EN-group). Caloric debt was calculated using the difference between the calculated caloric needs and the effective calories delivered through enteral nutrition. RESULTS Livers from EN-group presented a lower mean MEAF score compared to the no-EN-group: 3.39 ± 1.46 versus 4.15 ± 1.51, respectively (p = .04). A positive correlation between caloric debt and the MEAF score was found within the overall population (r = .227, p = .043) as well as in EN-group (r = .306, p = .049). CONCLUSIONS Donor's nutritional intake in the final 48 h before organ procurement correlates with MEAF score, and nutrition probably plays a positive role on the functional recovery of the graft. Large future randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm this preliminary results.

Abstract
Background The use of probiotics positively modifies the composition and function of the intestinal flora, decreasing inflammation, and these changes improve the quality of intestinal anastomosis. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the metagenomics of the microbial community after probiotic supplementation in rats subjected to intestinal anastomosis. Methods The probiotic chosen for this study was composed of the strains Lactobacillus paracasei LPC37, Bifidobacterium lactis HN0019, Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM. Both groups underwent two colostomies, one in the right colon and the second in the rectosigmoid colon, followed by anastomosis with eight interrupted stitches. The rats were killed on the fifth day of PO. Changes in the intestinal microbiota were evaluated by means of a metagenomic study that evaluated bacterial alpha and beta diversity indices. Results Although there were no significant differences for any alpha diversity index, changes were observed for beta diversity indexes in the microbiota of rats. The group that received the probiotic preserved and even increased the abundance of beneficial bacterial genera and, at the same time, decreased the abundance of potentially pathogenic bacteria, promoting a favorable environment for anastomoses' healing. Conclusion The use of probiotics had a positive impact on the quality of the intestinal microbiota.

Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15071776. [PMID: 37049616 PMCID: PMC10096769 DOI: 10.3390/nu15071776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: There is a large body of evidence about immunonutrition formulas; however, there are still doubts about their usefulness in routine clinical practice as compared with standard formulas. In the age of personalized medicine, new studies appear every year regarding several types of patients; therefore, an updated point of view on these formulas is necessary. Methods: The Embase database was searched from 2016 to 14 March 2022. Our criteria were articles published in English and Spanish. The evidence quality was evaluated using GRADEpro, and the review was developed according to the PRISMA statement. Results: In this review, a total of 65 unique records were retrieved; however, 36 articles did not meet the inclusion criteria and were thus excluded. In total, 29 articles were included in the final analysis. In the last few years, many meta-analyses have attempted to identify additional existing studies of surgical patients with certain pathologies, mainly oncological patients. Immunonutrition prior to oncological surgery was shown to cause a decrease in inflammatory markers in most of the studies, and the main clinical events that changed were the infectious complications after surgery. The length of stay and mortality data are controversial due to the specific risk factors associated with these events. Conclusions: The use of immunonutrition in patients who have undergone oncological surgery decreases the levels of inflammatory markers and infectious postoperative complications in almost all localizations. However, more studies are needed to assess the use of immunonutrition based on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has been widely applied in liver surgery since the publication of the first ERAS guidelines in 2016. The aim of the present article was to update the ERAS guidelines in liver surgery using a modified Delphi method based on a systematic review of the literature. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed using MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. A modified Delphi method including 15 international experts was used. Consensus was judged to be reached when >80% of the experts agreed on the recommended items. Recommendations were based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations system. RESULTS A total of 7541 manuscripts were screened, and 240 articles were finally included. Twenty-five recommendation items were elaborated. All of them obtained consensus (>80% agreement) after 3 Delphi rounds. Nine items (36%) had a high level of evidence and 16 (64%) a strong recommendation grade. Compared to the first ERAS guidelines published, 3 novel items were introduced: prehabilitation in high-risk patients, preoperative biliary drainage in cholestatic liver, and preoperative smoking and alcohol cessation at least 4 weeks before hepatectomy. CONCLUSIONS These guidelines based on the best available evidence allow standardization of the perioperative management of patients undergoing liver surgery. Specific studies on hepatectomy in cirrhotic patients following an ERAS program are still needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of immunonutrition in patients undergoing hepatectomy remains unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of immunonutrition on postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing hepatectomy. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases was performed to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the effect of perioperative immunonutrition in patients undergoing hepatectomy until the end of March 10, 2020. Quality assessment and data extraction of RCTs were conducted independently by 3 reviewers. Mean difference (MD) and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a fixed-effects or random-effects model. The meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Nine RCTs involving a total of 966 patients were finally included. This meta-analysis showed that immunonutrition significantly reduced the incidences of overall postoperative complications (OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.34-0.95; p = 0.03), overall postoperative infectious complications (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.37-0.75; p = 0.0003), and incision infection (OR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.28-0.89; p = 0.02), and it shortened the length of hospital stay (MD = -3.80, 95% CI: -6.59 to -1.02; p = 0.007). There were no significant differences in the incidences of pulmonary infection (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.32-1.12; p = 0.11), urinary tract infection (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 0.55-3.08; p = 0.55), liver failure (OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.23-1.24; p = 0.15), and postoperative mortality (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.26-1.83; p = 0.46). CONCLUSION Given its positive impact on postoperative complications and the tendency to shorten the length of hospital stay, perioperative immunonutrition should be encouraged in patients undergoing hepatectomy.

Abstract
Background: Elderly non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients are increasing. In general, elderly patients often have more comorbidities and worse immune-nutritional condition. Patients and methods: In total, 122 NSCLC patients aged 75 years or older, underwent thoracic surgery between January 2007 and December 2010. In all, 99 of 122 patients (81.1%) who had preoperative comorbidities were retrospectively analyzed. We evaluated the preoperative immune-nutritional condition using the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score. Results: We decided the best cutoff value for CONUT score was 1; as a result, 42 of 99 patients (42.4%) had abnormal preoperative CONUT score. Univariate analyses showed sex (P = 0.0099), smoking status (P = 0.0176), pathological stage (P = 0.0095), and preoperative CONUT score (P = 0.0175) significantly affected overall survival (OS). In multivariate analysis, pathological stage (relative risk (RR): 2.12; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10–3.90; P = 0.0268) and preoperative CONUT score (RR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.20–3.67; P = 0.0094) were shown to be independent prognostic factors. In Kaplan–Meier analysis of OS, the preoperative abnormal CONUT score group had significantly shorter OS than did the preoperative normal CONUT score group (P = 0.0152, log-rank test); however, there were no statistical differences both in disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS; P = 0.9238 and P = 0.8661, log-rank test, respectively). In total, 22 patients (46.8%) were dead caused by other diseases such as pneumonia or other organs malignancies. Conclusion: Preoperative abnormal CONUT score is a poor prognostic factor for the elderly NSCLC patients with preoperative comorbidities and might predict poor postoperative outcome caused by not primary lung cancer but other diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal surgery is still associated with a relevant morbidity with the intestinal microbiome being of high importance in the pathogenesis of infectious complications. Various approaches, such as mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) with or without administration of oral antibiotics, fasting or dietary supplements aim at modulating the intestinal flora. OBJECTIVE This review summarizes the current literature pertinent to the influence of preoperative bowel conditioning on postoperative morbidity. MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature search was performed using the mentioned keywords with a focus on recent meta-analyses. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Bowel conditioning reduces postoperative infectious complications. Promising approaches are MBP plus administration of oral antibiotics, dietary supplements aiming at stabilization of the intestinal flora as well as the screening for and equilibration of malnutrition. The use of MBP as monotherapy without antibiotics should no longer be considered part of the clinical routine.

Abstract
Several studies have investigated the relationship between ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) administration and liver function and inflammatory reaction in patients undergoing liver resection, but the results remain conflicting and inconclusive. Areas covered: In this meta-analysis, a relevant database search was performed to retrieve all the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the effect of ω-3 PUFAs administration in patients undergoing hepatectomy until the end of April 2018. A random effect model was used to conduct this meta-analysis with RevMan 5.3.5 software. The quality of evidence for each postoperative outcome was assessed using the GRADEpro analysis. Expert opinion: 4 RCTs including 553 patients (277 with and 276 without ω-3 PUFAs) were identified. ω-3 PUFAs significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase [Mean difference (MD): -68.82, 95% confidence interval (CI): -108.55 to - 29.08; p = 0.0007]; aspartate aminotransferase (MD: -64.92, 95% CI: -112.87 to -16.98; p = 0.008), white blood cell count (MD: -1.22, 95% CI: -2.15 to -0.29; p = 0.01) and increased the level of pre-albumin on postoperative day 3 (MD: 10.42, 95% CI: 4.84 to 15.99; p = 0.0002). The results indicate that ω-3 PUFAs administration has a positive impact on the liver function and inflammatory reaction in patients undergoing liver resection.

Abstract
Acute illness-associated malnutrition leads to muscle wasting, delayed wound healing, failure to wean from ventilator support, and possibly higher rates of infection and longer hospital stays unless appropriate metabolic support is provided in the form of nutrition therapy. Agreement is still lacking about the value of individual immune-modulating substrates for specific patient populations. However, it has long been agreed that there are 3 primary targets for these substrates: 1) mucosal barrier function, 2) cellular defense function, and 3) local and systemic inflammation. These targets guide the multitude of interventions necessary to stabilize and treat the hypercatabolic intensive care unit patient, including specialized nutrition therapy. The paradigm shift that occurred 30 years ago created a unique role for nutrition as an agent to support host defense mechanisms and prevent infectious complications in the critically ill patient. This overview of immunonutrition will discuss the evidence for its role in critical illness today.
