1.The nutritional therapy of cholestatic liver disease in infants
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2013;(10):901-904
There are various causes of cholestatic liver disease in infants that include extrahepatic biliary tract diseases, liver diseases, anatomical abnormality, metabolic or endocrine diseases, poisoning, infection, and so on. The causes leads to re-duction or interruption in bile lfow and thus results in nutrients malabsorption and comprehensive metabolic disorder. The aims of nutritional therapy for cholestatic liver disease are to reduce the risk of cholestasis related complications, to promote recov-ery of liver diseases, to restore bile flow, to promote growth and improve the comprehensive metabolic disorders, to improve quality of life and to prepare children for liver transplantation.
2.Etiology of chronic diarrhea in children
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(19):1441-1443
Chronic diarrhea in children is often accompanied by malnutrition,growth disorders,immune dis-function and repeated infection due to deferment diarrhea and malabsorption of nutrients, which could influence the physical and mental development of children. The etiology and pathogenesis of chronic diarrhea are complex. The causes of chronic diarrhea are different in children with different ages,different regions and countries.

In recent years,gastrointestinal microbiota and fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)has gained rapidly development.The recent studies demonstrated that FMT has obvious clinical efficacy and safety on the treatment of clostridium difficile infection,inflammatory bowel disease and other diseases in adult.The present article will discuss the efficacy of FMT in treating digestive diseases in children.This review summarizes therapeutic advances in FMT,latest FMT therapies and presents the potential of FMT therapeutics in gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal conditions in children.
5.Focus on fecal microbiota transplantation in children
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2017;32(7):481-483
Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)is a method to recover the gut microbiota and treat the intestinal or non-intestinal diseases through transplanting the fecal liquid from healthy population into patients' gastrointestinal tract.There are limited data about the FMT in children.The clinical practice needs professional workgroups,strict indications,normalized and precise procedures.

Objective On the basis of previous experiments ,we try further to seek the new evidences of α7nAChR participating in 100 Hz electroacupuncture (EA ) regulating natural killer (NK ) cells activity .Methods α7nAChR antibody and the specificα7nAChR antagonist α-bungarotoxin (α-Bgt) were used to study the effect of α7nAChR on NK cell activity in 100 Hz EA mice .Re-sults Compared with 100 Hz EA group ,100 Hz EA plus α7nAChR-Ab group showed a significant enhanced in NK cell activity (P<0 .05) .100 Hz EA treated with 1 .5 or 3 .0 μg α-Bgt groups had higher NK cell activity than 100 Hz EA group(P<0 .01) . Conclusion α7nAChR is involved in 100 Hz EA modulation for immune function ,which provide the theoretical and practical basis for further clarifying and expanding the clinical application of EA .

Biliary infection in children includes acute and chronic cholecystitis and cholangitis.The main dinical manifestations of acute cholecystitis are right upper-quadrant abdominal pain which is persistent with nausea and vomiting,Murphy's sign positive.Some of patients have high fever,chills,jaundice,and some severe patients have coma.Acute cholangitis has rapid onset.The most common manifestations are abdominal pain,fever,chills and jaundice which are known as Charcot's triad.A few children's main manifestation is septic shock which has a high mortality.This article described the diagnosis and treatment of biliary inflammation in children.

Objective To observe the application of angiotensin Ⅱ receptor antagonist valsartan in reducing minim albuminuria in earlier period of the diabetes and kidney disease.Methotis 36 patients Who administered angiotenain Ⅱ receptor antagonist valsartan 80~160nag,qd,for 8 weeks.Compared with symptoms before the treatment,the blood pressure,the amount of the urinary albuminufia,and observed the change of the empty stomach blood sugar,the saccharified hemoglobin,the triglyceride,the total cholesterol,the endogenous creatinine clearance rate,etc.Results After the treatment,the urinary albumin drops obviously(P<0.01),While the blood pressure,the empty stomach blood sugar,the saccharified hemoglobin,the triglyceride,the total cholesterol and the endogenous creatinine clearance rate have no obvious change.There is no obvious side effect during therapeutic process.Conclusion The application of angiotenain Ⅱ receptor antagonist valsartan can reduce the amount of the urinary albumin,is the effective way in treating the earlier period of the diabetes and kidney disease.

Objectives To study the clinical characteristics and early diagnosis of infant with both alpha 1 antitrypin deficiency (α1-ATD) and biliary atresia (BA). Methods The clinical characteristics, serum biochemical parameters, gene mutations and treatment of one infant with both α1-ATD and BA was reported. Related literatures about liver disease caused by α1-ATD were reviewed and analyzed. Results The infant was characterised with neonatal cholestasis, hepatomegaly, elevated serum ALT, AST, total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB) and γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) and absence of bile secretion from the duodenal drainage tube. BA was conifrmed by laparotomy and pathological examination and Kasai′s operation was performed. Further, the infant was confirmed by SERPINA 1 gene mutation analysis, which leads to the diagnosis of α1-ATD. The case of infant with both alpha 1 ATD and BA has not yet been reported at home and abroad. According to the literatures, children with α1-ATD were characterized with cholestasis, hepatomegaly, hypoproteinemia, high serum ALT and AST, coagulation disorders caused by vitamin K 1 deifciency and hepatic dysfunction. Prognosis was poor without early diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions For infant cholestasis, a lot of auxiliary examinations should be performed to identify the etiology of cholestasis. Gene analysis could help differential diagnosis. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment are the key to improve the survival rate and prognosis.
