“…In particular, gynecologic malignant tumors are common gynecologic diseases in women, which have a serious impact on patients' physical and mental health and quality of life, and even threaten their life safety. At present, chemotherapy is mainly used in clinical practice for corresponding treatment, and chemotherapy operation may cause malnutrition in patients, so how to take effective measures to intervene and improve patients' nutritional status tests the practical ability of nursing staff [2][3][4].…”

Objective. To evaluate the effect of dietary care on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in oncology patients. Methods. A retrospective analysis of digestive symptoms was conducted in cancer patients admitted to our hospital, who received chemotherapy, and corresponding effective dietary care countermeasures were adopted. Results. After the nursing intervention, the incidence of digestive symptoms was significantly reduced, the quality of life was significantly improved (59.92 ± 6.57) vs. (37.95 ± 7.50), and the nursing satisfaction was significantly higher (91.67% vs. 69.44%), with statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05 ). Meta-analysis showed that short-term (0 to 3 months) dietary care could alleviate nausea and vomiting symptoms in chemotherapy patients ( P < 0.001 ) and improve the survival quality of oncology patients ( P < 0.01 ). The effect of long-term (3–6 months) dietary care on the control of nausea and vomiting symptoms in chemotherapy patients was certain ( P < 0.05 ), but the effect on the improvement of their quality of life ( P > 0.05 ) was unclear. Conclusion. Dietary care can alleviate the symptoms of nausea and vomiting in tumor chemotherapy patients and improve the quality of life of short-term chemotherapy tumor patients, so it can be recommended to strengthen the dietary management for tumor patients receiving chemotherapy. Patients receiving chemotherapy should be given corresponding dietary nutritional care according to their clinical symptoms in order to alleviate their adverse reactions, enhance their own immunity, and improve the prognosis of cancer patients.

“…Similarly, the aggregation of RCTs implementing the new Nordic diet [ 94 ] also revealed improvements in the metabolic control of patients at risk for diabetes. With regard to the adoption of the traditional Chinese diet and medicine, meta-analyses of RCTs have showed selective improvements in patients with a cancer [ 95 ] or obesity diagnoses [ 96 ]. On the other hand, results from observational studies suggest that adherence to the traditional Japanese diet reduces the risk for developing specific cancers, and in parallel lower all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality [ 97 , 98 ].…”

Assessing the Physiological Effects of Traditional Regional Diets Targeting the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials Implementing Mediterranean, New Nordic, Japanese, Atlantic, Persian and Mexican Dietary Interventions

Traditional regional diets are considered as sustainable dietary patterns, while many have been examined with regard to their health benefits. The aim of the present systematic review was to aggerate all evidence on the physiological effects of regional diets among adults at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Three databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) implementing any regional diet (Mediterranean (MedD), Persian, Southern European Atlantic, Japanese, Chinese, new Nordic, or other) while examining cardiovascular risk factors among adults at increased risk. Primary outcomes included anthropometric indices and secondary outcomes involved blood lipid concentrations, glucose metabolism, inflammation and other markers of CVD progression. Twenty RCTs fulfilled the study’s criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis, with the majority implementing a MedD. Adherence to most of the regional diets induced a reduction in the BW and anthropometric indices of the participants. The majority of RCTs with blood pressure endpoints failed to note a significant reduction in the intervention compared to the comparator arm, with the exception of some new Nordic and MedD ones. Despite the interventions, inflammation markers remained unchanged except for CRP, which was reduced in the intervention groups of one new Nordic, the older Japanese, and the Atlantic diet RCTs. With regard to blood lipids, regional diet interventions either failed to induce significant differences or improved selective blood lipid markers of the participants adhering to the experimental regional diet arms. Finally, in the majority of RCTs glucose metabolism failed to improve. The body of evidence examining the effect of regional dietary patterns on CVD risk among high-risk populations, while employing an RCT design, appears to be limited, with the exception of the MedD. More research is required to advocate for the efficacy of most regional diets with regard to CVD.

“…The traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in Chinese clinics, and a variety of molecular mechanisms are associated with functional regulation mediated by Chinese materia medica (Hu et al., 2020 ; Wang et al., 2019 ). To balance the yin and yang, the traditional Chinese medicine diets or combining foods with certain Chinese materia medica are purposefully used for the patients (Zhou et al, 2021 ). One of the Chinese materia medica, Xianmao (root tubers of Curculigo orchioides, belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae) often utilized with foods to reverse the kidney‐yang deficiency symptoms, such as the decline of vital gate fire, frequent urination, cold extremities, sore lower back, waist and knee pain, and soft bones (Chauhan et al., 2010 ).…”

The Chinese materia medica Xianmao (XM) is widely used in Chinese clinics and the traditional Chinese medicine diets. Although XM is often used to study its kidney‐yang effect, the research on its effect on kidney energy metabolism and its mechanism is still relatively lacking. In this study, rats were given different doses of XM water extract for 4 weeks. Biochemical method was used to detect the content of serum biochemical indexes of liver and kidney function and blood lipid indicators, and HE staining method was used to observe the histopathological of liver and kidney in rats. The kidney Na+‐K+‐ATPase, Ca2+‐Mg2+‐ATPase, SDH (succinate dehydrogenase) enzyme activity, and the content of ATP in rats were measured. Metabolomics technology was used to analyze the potential biomarkers related to the effects of XM on kidney energy metabolism, and then, the metabolic pathways were analyzed. RT‐PCR was used to detect the expression of Ampk, Sirt1, Ppar‐α, and Pgc‐1α mRNA in kidney of rats. The results showed, compared with the blank control group, there was no significant effect on liver and kidney function in XMH, XMM, and XML groups. These significantly increased the kidney Na+‐K+‐ATPase, Ca2+‐Mg2+‐ATPase, SDH enzyme activity, and ATP content in XMH, XMM, and XML groups. Mitochondrial metabolic rate was inhibited in XMH group, but it was significantly increased in XMM and XML groups. The number of mitochondria was increased in XMH, XMM, and XML groups. Overall, these effects may be mediated by TCA cycle metabolism, butanoate metabolism, propanoate metabolism, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, retinol metabolism, purine metabolism, pentose phosphate metabolism, aminoacyl‐tRNA biosynthesis, valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis, and degradation metabolism pathways, as well as by increasing expression of upstream genes Ampk, Sirt1, Ppar‐α, and Pgc‐1α mRNA.
