The effects of a liquid elemental diet on nine patients requiring nasogastric tube feeding because of severe dysphagia were studied. A casein based feeding served as a control. The elemental diet was given over a 12-week period except in the case of one man who expired after nine weeks from causes unrelated to the diet.The feeding was well tolerated by the digestive tract. Satisfactory nutrition appeared to be maintained as indicated by weight gain, stable hemoglobin, serum total protein and albumin values, and normal healing of pressure sores. BUN levels decreased significantly. Uric acid levels increased but remained within normal limits. Pancreatic function was unaffected clinically and from the postmortem findings of the man who died, pancreatic morphology was normal. Fasting blood sugars, serum electrolytes, hematocrit, bleeding, clotting and prothrombin times, and platelet counts were normal.
研究了液体要素饮食对9例因严重吞咽困难而需鼻胃管喂食患者的影响。以酪蛋白为基础的喂食作为对照。要素饮食持续给予12周，但有1名男性在9周后因与饮食无关的原因死亡。消化道对这种喂食耐受性良好。体重增加、血红蛋白稳定、血清总蛋白和白蛋白值正常以及压疮愈合正常表明营养状况维持良好。血尿素氮水平显著下降。尿酸水平升高但仍在正常范围内。临床观察胰腺功能未受影响，从死亡男性的尸检结果来看，胰腺形态正常。空腹血糖、血清电解质、血细胞比容、出血、凝血和凝血酶原时间以及血小板计数均正常。
