INCREASING CALORIE CONSUMPTION IN CHILDREN WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS: REPLICATION WITH 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP

Three mildly malnourished children with cystic fibrosis and their parents participated in a behavioral group-treatment program that focused on promoting and maintaining increased calorie consumption. Treatment included nutritional education, gradually increasing calorie goals, contingency management, and relaxation training, and was evaluated in a multiple baseline design across four meals. Children's calorie intake increased across meals, and total calorie intake was 32% to 60% above baseline at posttreatment. Increased calorie consumption was maintained at the 96-week follow-up (2 years posttreatment). The children's growth rates in weight and height were greater during the 2 years following treatment than the year prior to treatment. Increases in pace of eating and calories consumed per minute were also observed 1 year posttreatment. These findings replicated and extended earlier research supporting the efficacy of behavioral intervention in the treatment of malnutrition in children with cystic fibrosis.

瘦素与慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者营养不良和呼吸肌疲劳的关系探讨

目前大量研究表明血清瘦素在慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者营养不良病理生理机制中发挥重要作用,COPD患者多伴有呼吸肌疲劳,严重呼吸肌疲劳最终导致呼吸衰竭而危及生命,本文旨在综述瘦素、营养不良及呼吸肌疲劳之间的联系,以期从新的角度和细胞因子水平来探讨呼吸肌疲劳,为临床治疗呼吸肌疲劳,最终治疗呼吸衰竭提供新的方向。
