“…In addition, intake of minerals through the diet can also change. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with gastric cancer and an inferior mineral balance before after an operation must be actively treated [24]. The total calcium intake was 476.2 mg, which was much lower than the recommended intake of 700 mg. Intake of phosphorous and iron were in excess of the recommendation.…”

This study was conducted to identify dietary factors that may affect the occurrence of gastric cancer in Koreans. Preoperative daily nutrition intake and diet quality of patients diagnosed with gastric cancer were evaluated. Collected data were comparatively analyzed by gender. The results were then used to prepare basic materials to aid in the creation of a desirable postoperative nutrition management program. The subjects of this study were 812 patients (562 men and 250 women) who were diagnosed with gastric cancer and admitted for surgery at Soonchunhyang University Hospital between January 2003 and December 2010. Nutrition intake and diet quality were evaluated by the 24-hr recall method, the nutrient adequacy ratio, mean adequacy ratio (MAR), nutrient density (ND), index of nutritional quality (INQ), dietary variety score (DVS), and dietary diversity score (DDS). The rate of skipping meals and eating fast, alcohol consumption, and smoking were significantly higher in males than those in females. The levels of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, and cholesterol consumption were significantly higher in males than those in females. Intake of fiber, zinc, vitamin A, retinol, carotene, folic acid were significantly higher in females than those in males. MAR in males was significantly higher (0.83) than that in females (0.79). INQ values were higher in females for zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, and folic acid than those in males. The average DVS was 17.63 for females and 13.19 for males. The average DDS was 3.68 and the male's average score was 3.44, whereas the female's average score was 3.92. In conclusion, males had more dietary habit problems and poor nutritional balance than those of females. Our findings suggest that proper nutritional management and adequate dietary education for the primary prevention of gastric cancer should be emphasized in men.

This article reviews various methods of assessing and managing post-gastrectomy or esophagectomy patients from a nutritional standpoint, by examining recent research focusing on assessment models, components of enteral feeding, timing of feeding, safety of enteral nutrition (EN) vs total parenteral nutrition (TPN), appetite stimulants, alternative treatments, and long-term care. Pre-, peri-, and post-operative nutrition represent a major prognostic indicator in patients undergoing a gastrectomy or esophagectomy for malignant cancer. An accurate initial nutrition assessment to determine risk, followed by close monitoring pre-operatively and early enteral feeding post-operatively, has been shown to have the most beneficial effects. The optimal delivery route for nutrition involves the use of EN with immune enhancing nutrients while avoiding TPN. In practice, TPN is reserved for patients with post-operative complications that delay enteral feeding for an extended time. While megace is commonly used as an appetite stimulant, the hormone ghrelin is another novel, safe, and efficacious treatment to improve appetite, increase by mouth (PO) intake, and minimize loss of weight and lean body mass. Although use of ghrelin is not yet common practice, as more studies are published, we predict that this will become a more common treatment. While complementary and alternative therapies are commonly employed in this patient population, more research needs to be done before incorporation into our mainstay of treatment. Long term, these patients continue to be at nutritional risk and therefore should be followed to optimize weight maintenance and prevent micronutrient deficiencies.

“…Food quality can be characterized by the content of mineral elements. They are essential for normal growth and maintenance of bones and teeth, provide electric signal transfers and are a co-factor in oxygen transport (Kang et al, 2007). The statistical analysis of the mineral composition of fruits of the analysed cultivars and selective clones of the Saskatoon berry showed significant differences only in the magnesium (Mg) content.…”

This study was aimed at evaluating fruit yield and fruit quality of five Polish selective clones (S, H, N, 2/1 and 3/1) and three Canadian cultivars ('Smoky', 'Martin' and 'Pembina') of Saskatoon berry (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.) cultivated under the conditions of northeastern Poland. The mean yield per shrub as well as the mean 100 fruit weight and fruit number per bunch was determined in the years 2010-2017. The contents of sugars, anthocyanins and polyphenols were examined by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Macroelements in fruits were determined after digestion by wet mineralization (H 2 S 4) using oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). The analysis of experimental data showed that the mean yields of the analysed cultivars and clones of Saskatoon berry in the first seven years of their fruiting reached 1.33 kg per shrub, which gave a yield of 5.5 t ha-1. The statistical analysis of results showed significant differences between the tested genotypes. The highest yields were reported for the Polish clones S and 3/1, whereas the lowest ones-for the clone N. The clone S belonged to one of the groups with the lowest values of 100 fruit weight and fruit number per bunch, whereas the clone 3/1 was characterized by later fruit ripening and by a higher fruit weight and number per bunch. Considering the contents of chemical components in fruits, the clone S had the highest active acidity, dry matter and sorbitol contents, but the lowest content of anthocyanins. In turn, fruits of the clone 3/1 were the richest in magnesium (Mg). Among the three Canadian cultivars analysed in our study, the highest yields were recorded for the 'Martin', whose fruits were the largest and had the highest content of anthocyanins. The lowest fruit yield was determined for the cultivar 'Smoky', but its fruits were the richest in total polyphenols.
