“…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.

“…Many clinical trials have suggested the beneficial effects of TCM interventions on chronic diseases or conditions, such as knee osteoarthritis [25], frozen shoulder [26], diabetes [27], asthma [28], and insomnia [29], especially in older adults. Several studies also examined and supported the effects and feasibility of self-administered TCM interventions, such as self-acupressure [30], self-moxibustion [31], parentadministered tui na [32], qigong [33], and TTCM medicinal cuisines [34]. A review on TCM medicinal cuisine and herbal medicine for COVID-19 prevention reported evidence supporting the potential antiviral ability of foods and herbs against SARS-CoV-2 and that foods and herbs can be used as TCM medicinal cuisine or complementary therapy to prevent infection and strengthen immunity [35].…”

Background Drawing on the extensive utilization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to combat COVID-19 in Mainland China, experts designed a series of TCM anti-epidemic strategies. This study aims to understand Hong Kong CM practitioners’ application of and opinions on the “Chinese Medicine Anti-epidemic Plans.” Methods Online focus group interviews were conducted, and purposive sampling was employed to invite 22 CM practitioners to voluntarily participate in three interview sessions. The interviews were audio recorded, then transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analyzed using template analysis. Results Three themes were derived: (1) facilitators of the “Chinese Medicine Anti-epidemic Plans,” (2) barriers of the “Chinese Medicine Anti-epidemic Plans,” and (3) expectations on improving the “Chinese Medicine Anti-epidemic Plans.” The participants could obtain relevant information from various sources, which highlights the value of the plans for TCM medicinal cuisine and non-pharmacologic therapies and guiding junior CM practitioners, supplementing Western medicine interventions, and managing Chinese herb reserves in clinics. However, the barriers included the lack of a specialized platform for timely information release, defective plan content, limited reference value to experienced CM practitioners, and lack of applicability to Hong Kong. The expectations of the CM practitioners for improving the plans were identified based on the barriers. Conclusions To enhance the implementation of the anti-epidemic plans, CM practitioners in Hong Kong expect to utilize a specific CM platform and refine the plans to ensure that they are realistic, focused, comprehensive, and tailored to the local context.

“…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

et al. 2021

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.
