Risk Factor of Anemia after a Gastrectomy in Patients with Gastric Cancer: In Jun Yang, Dong-Wook Kim, Ye Seob Jee; Surg Metab Nutr 2019;10(1):15-19. Published online June 30, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.18858/smn.2019.10.1.15

Purpose:

In this study, we evaluate hematologic change of iron and vitamin B₁₂ on post-operative anemia after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Materials and Methods:

The patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy between January 2013 and December 2013 in Dankook university hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The 62 patients were followed up for 36 month postoperatively.

Results:

The incidences of anemia in female patients were turned out to be higher than those in male patients but there were no statistical difference; (44.4% vs 40.9%, P=0.399) at 6 month, (33.3% vs 25.0%, P=0.252) at 12 month, (22.2% vs 15.9%, P=0.277) at 18 month, (27.8% vs 15.9%, P=0.142) at 36 month after surgery. Patients with distal gastrectomy after the surgery showed decreasing incidence of anemia while patients with total gastrectomy showed decreasing incidence of anemia until 12 months but increasing incidence after that time.

Conclusion:

Anemia, Vitamin B₁₂ and iron deficiency must be evaluated after surgery for gastric cancer and active treatment is necessary as needed.

Esophageal Obstruction Caused by the Solidification of Residue of an Enteral Feeding Formula: Hancheol Jo, Ye Rim Chang, So Mi Kim, Dong Wook Kim, Ye Seob Jee; J Clin Nutr 2018;10(1):25-30. Published online June 30, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.15747/jcn.2018.10.1.25

The nutritional support of acutely ill patients is very important and early enteral nutrition is recommended. Feeding via the nasogastric route is used widely for its ease of access if the patient cannot maintain volitional food intake. If the position of the tip or side holes of the nasogastric tube (NGT) is above the gastroesophageal junction, there is the possibility of retention and solidification of the administered enteral feeding formula in the esophagus. Therefore, the tip of the NGT should be checked carefully; a chest radiograph to confirm its position can be considered, especially in patients with a higher risk of aspiration and gastroesophageal reflux. In addition, careful consideration of the risk factors that can trigger esophageal obstruction is required when feeding patients in the intensive care unit. This paper describes two unusual cases of esophageal obstruction caused by the solidification of residue of an enteral feeding formula.
