          Abstract

          Introduction: Short bowel syndrome is associated with weight loss due to nutrient, electrolyte and fluid malabsorption. In view of the pathophysiology of SBS, all patients would be expected to exhibit similar clinical signs and symptoms, whereas many variations occur probably due to the adaptive capacity of the remaining small intestine in order to compensate for the resected area. Objective: To determine whether there is a difference in nutritional status and food intake between patients receiving PNT, patients who do not receive PNT but are monitored on an ambulatory basis, and control subjects, and 2) to determine body composition by two different methods, i.e., electrical bioimpedance and skin fold measurement. Methods: This was a case-control study where the subjects were divided into three groups: parenteral group (PG) - adults with a history of SBS intermittently using PNT; ambulatory group (AG) - adults with a history of SBS who do not receive PNT; control group (CG) - adults with no history of intestinal resections and/or use of PNT. The volunteers were submitted to measurements of body weight, height, body composition by bioimpedance analysis and assessment of food intake using a food frequency questionnaire. Univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the aid of the SAS® 9.2. software, using the PROC GLM feature. The Student t-test was used to compare the instruments for the assessment of body composition, with the aid of the PROC TTEST feature of the SAS® 9.2 software. Results: Thirty-two volunteers, 19 women and 13 men, participated in the study. The PNT group consisted of 9 volunteers, 4 women and 5 men, with a mean (± SD) age of 57 ± 9 years. The nutrition status and food intake were different between the groups. There was no difference in percent body fat measured by anthropometry and bioimpedance analysis. Discussion and conclusion: Large resections, as well as the resected portions, explain the greater nutritional impairment of PG compared to AG and CG, although no significant difference in food consumption was detected between these three groups. Since the use of PNT can lead to a state of hyperhydration, the results of BIA should be interpreted with caution, in view of the fact that the lean mass determined by this method varies positively with the hydration state of an individual.

          Introducción: El síndrome del intestino corto se asocia con pérdida de peso por la malabsorción de nutrientes, electrolitos y líquidos. A la vista de la fisiopatología del SIC, se esperaría que todos los pacientes exhibieran signos y síntomas clínicos similares, mientras que pueden ocurrir variaciones probablemente por la capacidad de adaptación del intestino delgado restante con el fin de compensar el área resecada. Objetivo: Determinar si existen diferencias en el estado nutritivo y en el consumo de alimentos entre pacientes que reciben TNP, aquellos que no reciben TNP pero que están monitorizados de forma ambulatoria e individuos control, y 2) determinar la composición corporal mediante dos métodos distintos: la bioimpedancia eléctrica y la medición del pliegue cutáneo. Métodos: Éste fue un estudio de casos-control en el que se dividió a los sujetos en tres grupos: el grupo de parenteral (GP) - adultos con una historia de SIC y con uso intermitente de TNP; grupo ambulatorio (GA) - adultos con una historia de SIC que no recibían TNP; grupo control (GC) - adultos sin antecedentes de resecciones intestinales ni uso de TNP. Los voluntarios fueron sometidos a mediciones del peso corporal, talla, composición corporal mediante análisis de bioimpedancia y evaluación del consumo de alimentos utilizando un cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos. Se realizó un análisis de varianza (ANOVA) con la ayuda del programa SAS® 9.2, utilizando la aplicación PROC GLM. Se empleó el test t de Student para comparar los instrumentos de la evaluación de la composición corporal, con la ayuda de la aplicación PROC TTEST del programa SAS® 9.2. Resultados: 32 voluntarios, 19 mujeres y 13 hombres, participaron en el estudio. El grupo TNP estaba compuesto de 9 voluntarios, 4 mujeres y 5 hombres, con una edad media (± DE) de 57 ± 9 años. El estado nutritivo y el consumo de alimentos fueron diferentes entre los grupos. No hubo diferencias en el porcentaje de grasa corporal medida por antropometría y análisis de bioimpedancia. Discusión y conclusión: Las resecciones largas, así como las porciones resecadas, explican la mayor alteración nutricional del grupo GP en comparación con los grupos GA y GC, aunque no se detectaron diferencias significativas en el consumo de alimentos entre los tres grupos. Puesto que el empleo de TNP puede conducir a un estado de hiperhidratación, los resultados del ABI deberían interpretarse con precaución puesto que la masa magra determinada por este método varía positivamente con el estado de hidratación de un individuo.

          The acute phase response.

          Adult mammals respond to tissue damage by implementing the acute phase response, which comprises a series of specific physiological reactions. This review outlines the principal cellular and molecular mechanisms that control initiation of the tissue response at the site of injury, the recruitment of the systemic defense mechanisms, the acute phase response of the liver and the resolution of the acute phase response.

              Short Bowel Syndrome: A Review of Management Options

              Extensive resection of the intestinal tract frequently results in inadequate digestion and/or absorption of nutrients, a condition known as short bowel syndrome (SBS). This challenging condition demands a dedicated multidisciplinary team effort to overcome the morbidity and mortality in these patients. With advances in critical care management, more and more patients survive the immediate morbidity of massive intestinal resection to present with SBS. Several therapies, including parenteral nutrition (PN), bowel rehabilitation and surgical procedures to reconstruct bowel have been used in these patients. Novel dietary approaches, pharmacotherapy and timely surgical interventions have all added to the improved outcome in these patients. However, these treatments only partially correct the underlying problem of reduced bowel function and have limited success resulting in 30% to 50% mortality rates. However, increasing experience and encouraging results of intestinal transplantation has added a new dimension to the management of SBS. Literature available on SBS is exhaustive but inconclusive. We conducted a review of scientific literature and electronic media with search terms 'short bowel syndrome, advances in SBS and SBS’ and attempted to give a comprehensive account on this topic with emphasis on the recent advances in its management.
