Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the intestinal barrier function of the patients by two-sugar absorption test with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methods Nineteen children with confirmed food hypersensitivity (FH) and 19 normal children were included in this study. The average age was (8.1?1.7) months. After 8-hour fasting, subjects drank test solution (5 g lactulose and 2 g mannitol per 100 ml) at the dose of 2 ml/kg. Five-hour urinary excretion ratio of lactulose/mannitol (L/M) were measured using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The condition of HPLC was as follows: Sugar-PakI column with refractive index detector; Mobile phase: pure deionized water; Flow rate: 0.5 ml/min; temperature of column: 85 ℃. Results HPLC chromatogram of urine sample was stable. The retention time of mannitol and lactulose was 13.86 min and 9.27 min respectively. A significant rise in 5 h urinary L/M excretion ratios was found in children with FH (0.18?0.06) as compared to that of controls (0.05?0.03) (P
