Objective To observe the effect of glutamine (Gln) on intestinal permeability after surgery of children, also its influence on the plama level of interleukin-2(IL-2), endotoxin and synthesize of protein through a random nutrition trial. Methods Twenty children suffered from congenital heart disease were divided into Gln group and control group with random number table, 10 cases in each group. They were all given isonitrogenous and isocaloric total paraenteral nutrition after 24 h postoperatively. In Gln group the Dipeptiven [-N (2)-L-alanyl-Lglutamine] was used with 2 ml/kg · 24h additionly. Before operation, 24h and 96 h after operation, intestinal permeability, serum level of endotoxin, IL-2, C-reaction protein, prealbumine were measured. Results Intestinal permeability increased in 24 h after cardiac surgery in two groups, while the concentration of endotoxin also increased, 96 h after surgery the intestinal permeability recovered, but the endotoxin level did not decrease in control group (P〈0. 01). Conclusion Utilization of Gln can improve immune suppression, elevate the IL-2 level, decrease the endotoxin concentration, alleviate the infection, but has no effect on the protein synthesis after congenital cardiac operation of children.
Neurofeedback transforms real-time brain activity features into multimodal feedback to guide self-regulation of brain function, showing potential applications in neuropsychiatric treatment and cognitive enhancement. However, its use entails ethical risks including cognitive autonomy, personal identity integrity, safety and efficacy, privacy protection, and the safeguarding of vulnerable populations, with informed consent challenges being particularly pronounced in implicit neurofeedback. Based on these risks, this paper proposes establishing an ethical evaluation framework for neurofeedback, promoting ethics-embedded design, and strengthening international cooperation and public education, emphasizing responsible innovation to align technological development with ethical safeguards.
