STUDY OF THE LYMPHOCYTE POPULATION IN PATIENTS WITH PREOPERATIVE NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT DURING SURGICAL INTERVENTION ON THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT BY FLOW CYTOMETRY ON THE EPICS XL APPARATUS (BECKMAN COULTER, USA)
The study included 12 patients aged 49 to 76 years, who routinely performed the surgical intervention on the organs of abdominal cavity. The patients were divided into two groups. In the first (main) group (6 persons), in addition to a standard surgical table for nutritional support used Impact® oral (Nestle), omega-3 and 9-fatty acids, L-carnitine, L-glutamine, amino acids BCAA and prebiotic Hilak forte. The control group has not received nutritional support. Immunophenotyping of lymphocytes was performed by flow cytometry using direct immunofluorescence assay of whole peripheral blood and “no clean” technology (flow cytometer Epics XL (Beсkman Coulter, USA)). There is stability in the population of t-lymphocytes in the postoperative period in the main group.
