Observation Of Bazhen Decoction Assisted With Enteral Nutrition On Nutritional Status In Patients With Postoperative Adjuvant Chemotherapy Of Colon Cancer

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Bazhen Decoction assisted with Enteral Nutritional Emulsion(TPF-T) on nutritional status in patients with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy of colon cancer.MethodsAll the selected cases were from the October2011to February2014in the surgical department of Zhuhai Hospital, branch of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The treatment group was given to Bazhen Decoction assisted with TPF-T, and the control group received TPF-T single treatment. The weight and the dietary case were selected as the indexes of observation. Indexes of nutritional status such as hemoglobin (HB), total lymphocyte count (TLC), serum total protein (TP), serum albumin (Alb), serum prealbumin (PA) and transferrin (TRF) were measured on one day before chemotherapy, three days after chemotherapy and seven days after chemotherapy.Results1. There are no significant differences between the two groups on weight (P>0.05);2. The dietary case of treatment group was improved as compared with the control group. The improvement has significant differences (P<0.05);3. Seven days after chemotherapy, all the indexes of nutritional status between the two groups have significant differences (P<0.05)ConclusionBazhen Decoction assisted with TPF-T can positively improve the nutritional status, improve the quality of life in patients with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy of colon cancer.
