Abstract

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of digital medical cross technology, and particularly relates to an esophageal cancer perioperative personalized nutrition supplement system based on nutrition metabolism monitoring. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the treatment of esophageal cancer, perioperative nutrition supplementation is a key link to ensure patient tolerance to surgery and promote postoperative recovery. Currently, the commonly used perioperative nutrition supplementation techniques for esophageal cancer mainly include oral nutritional preparations, enteral nutrition infusion and parenteral nutrition support. The daily energy requirement is usually calculated based on the patient's body weight (usually 25-30 kcal / kg / d), and the proportion of nutritional ingredients is usually fixed (such as 15%-20% of protein, 50%-60% of carbohydrates, and 20%-30% of fat). At the same time, the nutrition status is evaluated by regularly detecting biochemical indicators such as serum albumin and prealbumin, and in some cases, the supplement dosage is adjusted based on subjective feedback such as patient appetite and food intake, and the patient's nutrition-related data is usually stored in paper records or basic electronic spreadsheets for subsequent diagnosis and treatment reference. The existing perioperative nutrition supplementation techniques for esophageal cancer can meet the basic nutritional needs, but there is a gap with the individualized and precise clinical needs. The specific deficiencies are as follows: first, the scheme lacks individual adaptability. The fixed formula does not fully consider the differences in demand for esophageal cancer staging (metabolic differences in early, middle and late stages), comorbidities (such as the influence of diabetes on glucose metabolism and the restriction of liver and kidney dysfunction on fat metabolism), and different stages of perioperative period (preoperative reserve, intraoperative stress, and postoperative recovery), which easily leads to unbalanced nutrition supply; second, the adjustment mechanism is lagging. The adjustment is usually made empirically when obvious adverse reactions (such as frequent abdominal distension and vomiting) or significant abnormalities in nutritional indicators (such as continuous decrease in albumin) occur, without real-time monitoring-dynamic feedback closed-loop logic; third, the monitoring dimension is single. The evaluation is not sufficient because it mainly focuses on protein metabolism indicators and lacks comprehensive monitoring of energy metabolism, body composition and glucose and lipid metabolism; fourth, there is no clear nutrition risk stratification and control. Similar intervention strategies are used for high-risk and low-risk patients, which easily leads to over-supplementation or insufficient intervention; fifth, the data management efficiency is low. Paper or basic electronic records are difficult to retrieve and privacy protection is weak, which makes it difficult to support scientific research analysis and scheme optimization; sixth, the application scenario is limited. The adaptive scheme for intraoperative stress period nutrition support and postoperative dysphagia patients is insufficient, and it is difficult to meet the diversified needs of the whole process.

Specific implementation details include: Implementation Background: Patient: Male, 60 years old, height 178cm, weight 70kg, BMI=22.0kg / m²; esophageal cancer pathological stage I (tumor located in the upper esophagus, diameter 1.2cm, no lymph node metastasis); no diabetes, hypertension, or abnormal liver and kidney function; planned to undergo thoracoscopic radical esophagectomy, with a preoperative preparation period of 4 weeks.
[0024] Purpose of implementation: To verify the effectiveness of this system in the preoperative preparation period for patients with early-stage esophageal cancer without complications: through the synergy of core modules, it can slightly improve muscle reserves and maintain basal metabolism, laying a nutritional foundation for surgical tolerance, while also verifying the stability of the treatment plan for low-risk patients. Implementation module: (1) Nutritional metabolism monitoring module: Functional execution: Body composition indicators (muscle mass 30.2kg, fat mass 14.5kg, body fat percentage 20.7%) were collected using a non-invasive monitoring unit (bioelectrical impedance analyzer), and resting energy expenditure (1420kcal / d, metabolic rate 20.3kcal / kg / d) was collected using an indirect calorimetry energy metabolism analyzer. The invasive monitoring unit collected 5 ml of peripheral venous blood, and the protein metabolism indicators (albumin 40 g / L, prealbumin 265 mg / L, transferrin 2.9 g / L) and glucose and lipid metabolism indicators (fasting blood glucose 5.3 mmol / L, triglycerides 1.1 mmol / L, total cholesterol 4.3 mmol / L) were detected by a fully automated biochemical analyzer. The 2-hour postprandial blood glucose was 5.7 mmol / L. Frequency: Monitor once a week before surgery. (2) Patient information entry module: Function execution: Enter individual basic information (age 60 years old, gender male, height 178cm, weight 70kg, BMI=22.0), esophageal cancer information (pathological stage I, tumor location upper esophagus, surgical method thoracoscopic radical resection), and comorbidity information (none); Additional information: Updated 1 week before surgery: surgery time and preoperative preparation status. Data processing and analysis module: Function execution: Call the built-in nutritional risk assessment algorithm, and use the parameters of "deviation of nutritional metabolic indicators (within ±8%, weight 0.2) + disease severity (stage I, weight 0.3) + impact of comorbidities (none, weight 0.1)" to calculate the nutritional risk score of 1.8 points through the analytic hierarchy process. Results output: The nutritional risk level is determined to be low risk, and the nutritional abnormality type is "no obvious deficiency (muscle mass is close to the lower limit)". Personalized nutrition plan generation module: Function execution: Based on the data processing and analysis results, and combined with the clinical scenario characteristics of "Stage I esophageal cancer + thoracoscopic surgery + preoperative preparation period", a plan is generated with the goal of "mildly improving muscle reserve". The regimen consists of 22% protein (1.4g / kg / day, 98g / day), 58% carbohydrates (247g / day), and 20% fat (31g / day), with a total energy of 1850kcal / day. The route of administration is oral nutritional supplements (each 100g contains 22g of protein and 460kcal of energy), administered 3 times a day (200ml / time, taken 1 hour after a meal). (5) Nutritional Supplement Implementation Module: Functional execution: Administered via an oral adjuvant subunit (temperature adjusted to 37°C, no dose fractionation required); Data collection: Tolerance data (100% food intake, no bloating / diarrhea / vomiting) is recorded after each supplementation and uploaded to the data processing and analysis module in real time. (6) Closed-loop adjustment module: Function execution: Receive tolerance data and weekly monitoring indicators, determine "muscle mass gradually increases (30.2kg→30.8kg→31.5kg), albumin stable (40-41g / L)", and the adjustment trigger condition has not been met; Result: No adjustments were needed to the treatment plan, which was continued until one day before the surgery. Implementation effect
[0025] Nutritional goals achieved: Muscle mass increased by 4.3% 4 weeks before surgery, resting energy expenditure stabilized at 1420-1450 kcal / day, and there were no abnormal nutritional indicators. Surgery and recovery: On the 4th day after surgery, albumin recovered to 39g / L (no hypoalbuminemia), the time to expel gas after surgery was shortened by 12 hours compared with the traditional approach (no muscle supplementation before surgery), and the length of hospital stay was shortened by 2 days; Module collaboration validation: The six core modules collaborated smoothly in low-risk scenarios, and the stability of the protocol met clinical needs (without adjustments). Example
[0026] This embodiment provides a personalized perioperative nutritional supplementation system for esophageal cancer patients based on nutritional metabolism monitoring, for postoperative recovery in patients with mid-stage esophageal cancer and type 2 diabetes. Specific implementation details include: Implementation Background: Patient: Female, 65 years old, height 162cm, weight 55kg, BMI=21.0kg / m²; esophageal cancer pathological stage II (tumor located in the middle of the esophagus, diameter 2.5cm, 1 lymph node metastasis); complicated with type 2 diabetes (8-year history, controlled by oral glimepiride, fasting blood glucose 7.0-8.5mmol / L); planned to undergo open thoracotomy for radical esophagectomy, with a postoperative recovery period of 2 weeks. Purpose of implementation: To verify the effectiveness of this system in the postoperative recovery period of patients with mid-stage esophageal cancer and diabetes: through the dynamic synergy of 6 core modules, it addresses the multiple needs of "postoperative stress + diabetes blood glucose control + protein supplementation", and verifies the response capability of the closed-loop adjustment module to "poor tolerance + slow improvement of indicators". Implementation module: (1) Nutritional metabolism monitoring module: Functional execution: Starting from the first day after surgery, the invasive monitoring unit collected venous blood (albumin, prealbumin, fasting blood glucose) daily, and the non-invasive monitoring unit collected resting energy consumption (1380 kcal / d on the first day after surgery) and muscle mass (23.1 kg on the first day after surgery) every 3 days. Special monitoring: Portable blood glucose meter to monitor fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose daily (4 times / day). (2) Patient information entry module: Functional execution: Preoperative entry of basic information, disease information (stage II, open-chest surgery), comorbidities (diabetes and medication); Postoperative day 1, supplementation of "gastrointestinal function not fully recovered" and "glucose control target 6.0-7.0 mmol / L". (3) Data Processing and Analysis Module: Functional execution: Nutritional risk score was calculated on the first postoperative day = (Indicator deviation: albumin 33g / L < standard, weight 0.3; blood glucose 8.2mmol / L > standard, weight 0.2) + disease severity (stage II, weight 0.2) + comorbidities (diabetes, weight 0.2) = 5.2 points (medium risk); Dynamic assessment: On the 3rd day after surgery, the albumin level was reassessed as "no increase at 33g / L, abdominal distension once", and it was determined that "protein absorption efficiency is low". (4) Personalized nutrition plan generation module: Initial protocol (days 1-3 post-surgery): Matching parameters for "Stage II + Diabetes + Post-operative recovery period", protein 28% (1.6g / kg / d, 88g / d), carbohydrates 45% (low GI, 167g / d), fat 27% (33g / d), total energy 1720kcal / d; route of administration: enteral infusion (intelligent infusion subunit, 50→80ml / h). Adjusted regimen (starting from 4 days post-surgery): Based on the results of the data processing and analysis module, the regimen was changed to "high-protein, low-osmolarity preparation", with an infusion rate of 70 ml / h and a carbohydrate content of 43%. (5) Nutritional Supplement Implementation Module: Functional execution: During the initial protocol phase, the infusion rate was 80 ml / h, and tolerance data were collected (abdominal distension once on the second postoperative day, food intake 85%, blood glucose 7.8 mmol / L). Post-adjustment phase: Infuse at 70 ml / h, and record tolerance daily (disappearance of abdominal distension, food intake of 95%, blood glucose of 7.2-7.5 mmol / L). (6) Closed-loop adjustment module: Triggering condition: On the 3rd day after surgery, although the "two consecutive episodes of abdominal distension" were not achieved, the "albumin level remained unchanged at 33g / L", triggering the adjustment. Adjustment verification: On the 5th day after surgery, the data processing and analysis module verified that "albumin 35g / L, blood glucose 7.2mmol / L" was consistent with the current status, confirming that the adjustment was effective; Follow-up: Evaluation was conducted every 3 days starting from the 7th day after surgery, with no further adjustments made. Implementation effect
[0027] Nutritional indicators: Two weeks after surgery, albumin recovered to 38g / L, fasting blood glucose stabilized at 6.5-7.2mmol / L, and muscle mass recovered to 24.0kg (an increase of 3.9% compared to the first day after surgery). Complications: No hyperglycemic ketoacidosis or bowel dysfunction; the incidence of complications is 75% lower than that of traditional regimens (fixed formula, no dynamic adjustment); Module collaboration: The closed-loop adjustment module responds promptly, and the indicators improve within 48 hours after the solution is adjusted, verifying the effectiveness of the "monitoring-analysis-adjustment" closed loop. Example

Specific implementation details include: Implementation Background: Patient: Male, 70 years old, height 170cm, weight 60kg, BMI=20.8kg / m²; esophageal cancer pathological stage III (tumor invades the esophageal adventitia, 2 lymph node metastases); complicated with mild cirrhosis (ALT 90U / L) and chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 2, serum creatinine 135μmol / L); planned to undergo open thoracotomy for radical esophagectomy with lymph node dissection, estimated operation time 5 hours. Purpose of implementation: To verify the effectiveness of this system during the intraoperative stress period in patients with advanced esophageal cancer and abnormal liver and kidney function: Through the intraoperative synergy of 6 core modules, it achieves "maintaining basal metabolism + avoiding liver and kidney burden", verifying the ability of dynamic adjustment during surgery and its protective effect on liver and kidney function. Implementation module: (1) Nutritional metabolism monitoring module: 1 hour before surgery: Non-invasive monitoring of resting energy consumption was 1450 kcal / d (stress state), and invasive monitoring of venous blood was performed (albumin 32 g / L, triglycerides 1.9 mmol / L, serum creatinine 135 μmol / L). Intraoperatively: Venous blood (triglycerides, serum creatinine, ALT) was collected every 2 hours via an invasive monitoring unit, and the data was transmitted in real time. (2) Patient information entry module: Preoperative data entry: basic information, disease information (stage III, thoracotomy + lymph node dissection), comorbidities (cirrhosis + CKD stage 2, baseline values of liver and kidney function); Intraoperative supplement: Estimated operation time: 5 hours; intraoperative volume control target (avoid overload). (3) Data Processing and Analysis Module: Preoperative assessment: Calculate nutritional risk score = (indicator deviation: low albumin + high triglycerides, weight 0.3) + disease severity (stage III, weight 0.4) + comorbidities (liver and kidney abnormalities, weight 0.3) = 6.8 points (high risk); Intraoperative analysis: Postoperative monitoring showed "triglycerides 2.3 mmol / L", indicating "excessive lipid metabolic load". (4) Personalized nutrition plan generation module: Initial protocol (0-2h intraoperatively): Matched parameters for "Stage III + Liver and Kidney Abnormalities + Intraoperative Stress Period", energy 27kcal / kg / d (1620kcal / d), fat 18% (medium-chain triglycerides, 32.4g / d), protein 24% (high-quality protein, 84g / d); route of administration: parenteral infusion (intelligent infusion subunit, 80ml / h). Adjustment plan (2 hours after surgery): Based on the analysis results, the fat percentage was reduced to 15%, and the infusion rate was 75 ml / h. (5) Nutritional Supplement Implementation Module: Intraoperative administration: Initially administer parenteral nutrition at a rate of 80 ml / h, and monitor the infusion pressure in real time (to avoid blockage); After adjustment: Infuse at 75 ml / h, record the infusion volume and the patient's vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, avoid volume overload).

Purpose of implementation: Verification of the system's effectiveness in patients with dysphagia after esophageal cancer surgery: Through the oral assistance subunit of the nutrition supplementation execution module, combined with the other 5 modules, the system addresses "insufficient food intake due to dysphagia," enabling a safe transition to a normal diet and preventing lung infections. Implementation module: (1) Nutritional metabolism monitoring module: One week post-surgery: Non-invasive monitoring showed muscle mass of 27.0 kg and body fat percentage of 21.5%; invasive monitoring showed albumin of 36 g / L. Follow-up: Monitor muscle mass and albumin levels every 3 days until swallowing difficulties improve. (2) Patient information entry module: Input: Postoperative status (1 week after stage II surgery, dysphagia), preoperative basic information, surgical procedure (thoracoscopic radical surgery); Additional information: Swallowing difficulty assessment results (moderate, frequency of choking). (3) Data Processing and Analysis Module: Assessment: Nutritional risk score = (Indicator deviation: slightly low muscle mass, weight 0.2) + Postoperative condition (dysphagia, weight 0.3) + No complications (weight 0.1) = 3.2 points (medium risk); Determination: The nutritional abnormality type is "potential protein deficiency (due to difficulty swallowing)". (4) Personalized nutrition plan generation module: Treatment plan: Matching the parameters of "postoperative dysphagia + medium risk", protein 26% (1.5g / kg / d, 94.5g / d), total energy 1800kcal / d; Pathway design: Activate oral adjuvant subunit, dose fractionation + temperature regulation (to avoid irritating the anastomosis).
[0031] (5) Nutritional Supplement Implementation Module: Oral adjuvant subunit: Adjust the temperature to 38℃, and divide the 200ml dose into 5 doses (40ml / dose, 15min interval). Tolerance assessment: After each administration, record the number of coughs and the amount of food consumed (initially 40% → adjusted to 90%).
[0032] (6) Closed-loop adjustment module: Monitoring: 1 week post-surgery (3 days after adjustment), tolerance data: "0 coughs, 90% food intake", muscle mass: 27.3 kg; Assessment: The adjustment criteria were not met, and the treatment plan will continue. Two weeks post-surgery, dysphagia improved, and the patient transitioned to a soft diet. Implementation effect
[0033] Improved swallowing: Soft foods can be eaten normally 2 weeks after surgery, which shortens the improvement time by 6 days compared to the traditional nasogastric feeding method; Nutritional indicators: 2 weeks post-surgery, muscle mass 27.8 kg (3.0% increase), albumin 38 g / L; Complications: No lung infection (caused by coughing), and the infection rate was reduced by 100% compared to the traditional regimen.

[0035] Efficiency Improvement: Data retrieval time has been reduced from 30 minutes per case for traditional paper records to 1 minute per case, an efficiency improvement of 95%; Data security: No data leakage of 150 patients within 6 months.
[0036] This comparative study provides a traditional perioperative nutritional supplementation plan for esophageal cancer patients, including the following: Traditional solution: Without system module support, it adopts a "fixed formula + empirical adjustments" approach: All patients are given a nutritional formula containing 20% protein, 55% carbohydrates, and 25% fat, with energy supply calculated according to a fixed standard of 25 kcal / kg / day. There is no real-time nutritional metabolism monitoring. Nutritional supplement dosage is adjusted manually only when the patient experiences severe abdominal distension (occurring more than 3 times a day) or hypoglycemia (blood glucose <3.9mmol / L), with an adjustment interval of ≥48 hours (without algorithm support, relying on the experience of medical staff). Target audience: Forty esophageal cancer patients with baselines consistent with those in Examples 1-4 were selected, including 10 patients in stage I, 15 patients in stage II, and 15 patients in stage III. The proportion of comorbidities (diabetes, abnormal liver and kidney function, etc.) was consistent with that in Examples 1-4 to ensure fair comparison conditions. Key Indicator Comparison: The results of comparing the core clinical indicators of the system of the present invention (average data from Examples 1-4) with those of traditional protocols are as follows: Time to achieve nutritional targets: The time to achieve nutritional targets in this system is 7.5 days, while the traditional plan is 13.2 days, which is 43.2% shorter in this system than in the traditional plan. Postoperative complication rate: The postoperative complication rate of this system was 7.8%, while that of the traditional method was 31.5%, representing a 75.2% reduction compared to the traditional method. Patient intolerance rate: The patient intolerance rate of this system was 4.5%, while that of the traditional regimen was 22.3%, representing a 79.8% reduction compared to the traditional regimen. Preoperative muscle mass improvement rate: The preoperative muscle mass improvement rate of this system is 3.8%, while that of the traditional method is only 0.6%, which is 533.3% higher than that of the traditional method.
[0037] Compared with Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1, the present invention and the conventional solution are compared as follows: Examples 1-5 are based on the "Personalized Nutritional Supplementation System for the Perioperative Period of Esophageal Cancer Based on Nutritional Metabolism Monitoring", covering different clinical scenarios of esophageal cancer. Compared with Comparative Example 1, which uses a traditional fixed nutrition plan, it shows significant advantages in terms of applicability, nutritional accuracy, dynamic adjustment capability, complication control and management efficiency.
[0038] In terms of applicable scenarios, Examples 1-4 comprehensively cover different stages of esophageal cancer (early stage I, intermediate stage II, and advanced stage III), comorbidities (no comorbidities, type 2 diabetes, and abnormal liver and kidney function), perioperative stages (preoperative preparation period, intraoperative stress period, and postoperative recovery period), and special complications (postoperative dysphagia). Example 5 also extends to clinical data management. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 uses a fixed formula of "20% protein, 55% carbohydrates, and 25% fat," which does not take into account the differences in patient stage, comorbidities, and treatment stages. It is only applicable to simple cases without special circumstances, and its scope of application is narrow.
[0039] In terms of nutritional precision, Examples 1-4 all collected individual indicators (such as muscle mass and resting energy expenditure in Example 1, and blood glucose and albumin in Example 2) through a nutritional metabolism monitoring module (non-invasive and invasive). Combined with the data processing and analysis module, nutritional risk scores were calculated (11.8 points in Example 1, 5.2 points in Example 2, and 6.8 points in Example 3) to generate personalized plans: Example 1 set a protein ratio of 22% for preoperative reserves; Example 2 used low-GI carbohydrates to control blood glucose; Example 3 used medium-chain triglycerides to reduce the burden on the liver and kidneys; and Example 4 solved swallowing difficulties through an oral auxiliary subunit (temperature regulation and dose segmentation). In contrast, Comparative Example 1 had no monitoring and supplied energy at a fixed "25kcal / kg / d", which could not match individual nutritional needs and was prone to insufficient or overload.
[0040] Regarding dynamic adjustment capabilities, the examples rely on a closed-loop adjustment module for real-time response: In Example 2, due to slow albumin increase postoperatively, the enteral preparation was changed to a high-protein, low-osmolarity type; in Example 3, due to elevated triglycerides during surgery, the fat percentage was reduced from 18% to 15%, and the indicators improved within 48 hours after the adjustment; in Comparative Example 1, adjustments were made manually only when the patient experienced severe abdominal distension (>3 times / day) or hypoglycemia, with an interval of ≥48 hours, resulting in a delayed response and reliance on experience, making it impossible to correct nutritional deviations in a timely manner.
[0041] Regarding complication control and recovery, in Example 1, the postoperative flatus time was shortened by 12 hours and the hospital stay was shortened by 2 days; in Example 2, there was no hyperglycemic ketoacidosis; in Example 3, there were no liver or kidney complications; and in Example 4, there was no pulmonary infection. The overall postoperative complication rate was 7.8%, the patient intolerance rate was 4.5%, and the preoperative muscle mass improvement rate was 3.8%. In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, the complication rate was 31.5%, the intolerance rate was 22.3%, the preoperative muscle mass improvement rate was only 0.6%, and the recovery period was longer.
[0042] In terms of management efficiency and security, Example 5 reduces data retrieval time from the traditional 30 minutes / case to 1 minute / case through the data storage and traceability module, and AES-256 encryption ensures data security; Comparative Example 1 relies on paper records, which has low retrieval efficiency and poses a risk of data leakage.
[0043] In summary, Examples 1-5 achieve precise, individualized, and intelligent perioperative nutritional supplementation for esophageal cancer through a full-process design of "monitoring-analysis-personalized plan-dynamic adjustment-data management." In contrast, the fixed plan in Comparative Example 1 lacks individual adaptability and dynamic response capabilities, making it difficult to meet diverse clinical needs and highlighting the clinical value of this system.
