title: [The study of eco-nutrition applied to postoperative patients with colorectal diseases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of eco-nutrition on postoperative patients with colorectal diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  32 patients undergoing the colorectal operation were randomized into the eco-nutrition enteral nutrition (EEN) group and the normal enteral nutrition (NEN) group. A series parameters, including gastrointestinal symptom, diarrhea and diarrhea score, intestinal flora ratio, inflammatory status markers, immune function markers et al. , were measured before and after the operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  (1) Compared with the NEN group, the EEN group had less days with getting flatulence and abdominal pain (P<0. 05). At 6th day the EEN group had a less occurrence of flatulence and abdominal pain (P<0. 05). 0 The EEN group had less occurrences of diarrhea at the 6th day (P<0. 05). In the EEN group, the total occurrences and days of diarrhea were lower than those in the NEN group (P<0. 05), and the mean diarrhea scores were also lower at 6th day (P <0. 05). ( Intestinal flora ratios were higher in the EEN group at 6th day (P<0. 05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The econutrition application to postoperative patients with colorectal diseases is beneficial in alleviating gastrointestinal symptom and diarrhea, and correcting intestine flora disturbance.
