Objective To investigate the cause of jejunum perforation after infantile livingrelated liver transplantation (ILRLT) and summarize the experience of treatment. Methods The clinical data of 28 infants with biliary atresia who underwent ILRLT were analyzed and 4 of 28 infantile recipients (14. 3%) developed jejunum perforation after ILDLT. Results Four patients had 7 episodes of jejunum perforation after transplantation among 28 infantile recipients who underwent ILRLT because of biliary atresia. The median time between transplantation and perforation was 11 days.Perforation occurred at the point of silk in jejunum stoma (n = 3) and the Roux-en-Y limb (n = 1 ).None had a history of prior operation including Kasai in 4 patients. Clinical manifestation included fever, increased heart rate, abdominal distention, leukocytosis, and no free air on abdominal roentgenograrns. A simple repair was performed in three infants with silk: two developed recurrent perforation (67%) and underwent a re-exploration,and another had a third perforation and underwent a third repair because of re-perforation. Another child underwent a simple repair with prolene, and there was no recurrence. None died from the perforation in our study. Conclusion The occurrence and location of jejunum perforation after ILDLT suggests that the cause of the perforation is related to the jejunal anastomosis with silk, and the jejunum perforation may be avoided in the jejunal anastomosis with prolene. Early diagnosis and exploration may ensure better survival.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the dimethicone powder in bowel preparation before capsule endoscopy (CE) and to observe its possible adverse effects. Methods A total of 60 patients receiv-ing CE were prospectively randomized into 2 groups according to bowel preparation method. In dimethicone powder group, patients were arranged to take dimethicone powder 30 rain before the examination on basis of macrogol electrolytes powder and in control group, patients had macrogol electrolytes powder only. Images of small intestine were equally divided into segments A, B and C according to intestinal transit time, and re-viewed by 2 experienced physicians independently. Intraluminal gas bubbles were graded and any possible adverse effects were monitored. Results Interobserver agreement was excellent (P < 0.05). In segments A and C, images from dimethicone powder group were less interfered by gas bubble than those from control group (P < 0. 05), but in segment B there was no difference between 2 groups (P > O. 05). No adverse effects were observed. Conclusion The dimethicone powder administration before capsule endoscopy im-proves the visualization of the intestinal mucosa.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of segmental living related liver transplantation for very small infant with biliary atresia. Methods The recipient was a 145-day-old male with congenital biliary atresia. The infant was 66 cm in height and weighed 3.08 kg. The donor was his 36-year-old mother. Her segment Ⅱ of the liver was excised and orthotopically transplanted into the infant's body as the graft. The portal vein of the graft was end-to-end anastomosed to the portal vein of the recipient, the hepatic artery of the graft was end-to-end anastomosed to the proper hepatic artery of the recipient with lateral superficial vein of left great saphenous vein from donor as a bridge, and the hepatic vein was end-to-end anastomosed to the hepatic vein of the recipient whose hepatic vein was conformed from right, middle and left hepatic vein. Biliary tract was reconstructed via Roux-en-Y operation. Results Segment Ⅱ (160 g) of liver from donor was resected, and there was no blood infusion. The donor retained her liver function within 5 days and was discharged on the eighth day. The operating time of graft implantation was 451 min. The blood loss was 250 ml. Non-liver stage was 71 min. The cold ischemic time was 132 min. Cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and prednisone were used for postoperative immunosuppression. The bilirubin level of the infant was decreased to the normal level one week after operation, and the liver function became normal in 9 days. Jejuno-leakage on the 7th day after the transplantation was recovered by mend and drainage and discharged on the 35th day. The donor and recipient were in satisfactory condition to present. Conclusion The segmental living related liver transplantation is advisable for very small infant with biliary atresia. Perfect operative technique and postoperative intensive care are the keys to ensure the success of the procedure.

Objective To explore the effects of continuing nursing health education on postoperative rehabilitation of patients with gastric cancer. Methods A total of 98 cases of patients with gastric cancer radical were selected from December 2011 to December 2012 in our hospital according to the random number table method and were divided into observation group and control group. The patients of control group were given routine nursing, while the patients of observation group were given continuity of nursing health education based on the control group. We evaluated self satisfaction after nursing intervention of pain control, and assessed the score of self-rating anxiety scale ( SAS) , self-rating depression scale ( SDS) and quality of life self-rating scale. Results After intervention in the intervention group, the patients′ satisfaction to pain control method, to pain control education and all care, and family satisfaction scores were (42. 15 ± 14. 21), (44. 26 ± 13. 2), (16.69 ±2.20), that all were higher than these of the control group (t=3. 658, 5. 698, 4. 265; P<0. 05). Before the implementation of continuity of nursing health education, two groups of patients with SAS scores and SDS scores and the patient′s appetite, sleep quality and mental status, level of understanding of cancer, family understanding and cooperation, and daily life six dimensions related to the pain and psychological differences had no statistical significance (P>0. 05);continuity of nursing health education after implementation, the SAS scores and SDS scores were (30. 58 ± 8. 64), (35. 21 ± 9. 02) in the observation group that all were obviously lower than these of the control group (t=2. 245, 2. 014;P<0. 05); after the intervention group in appetite, sleep quality and mental status, the understanding of cancer, family understanding and cooperation, the score in the daily life were (3. 52 ± 0. 78), (4. 36 ± 1. 25), (3. 92 ± 1. 14), (4. 25 ± 0. 42), (3. 78 ± 0. 87), (4. 21 ± 0. 62);in six dimensions, related to the pain and psychological in the observation group were better than those of the control group (t=3. 145, 2. 896, 3. 859, 5. 697, 4. 021, 4. 256; P<0. 05). Conclusions Continuity nursing health education can reduce gastric cancer patients with postoperative pain and the degree of anxiety and depression patients, improve the patient′s quality of life and is good for stomach cancer patients with postoperative recovery.

Objective:To describe the clinical features of pediatric biotinase deficiency (BTD) manifested as spinal cord disease.Methods:The clinical data of a child with spinal cord lesions due to biotinase deficiency, diagnosed in Beijing Children′s Hospital in 2020, were collected. The cases with complete clinical data retrieved on literature reported in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data knowledge Service Platform and PubMed (up to August 2021) by using search terms of biotinase deficiency, pediatric, spinal cord, myelopathy and myelitis were summarized.Results:The patient was a 3 years and 5 months old boy with the main clinical manifestations of subacute progressive limb weakness and wheezing. Physical examination showed sparse hair, rough skin, spastic paraparesis and developmental delay. Cerebrospinal lactic acid was increased (5.67 mmol/L). Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse T 2/fluid attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity of the midbrain, dorsal pons, edulla, periacqueductal grey and optic tracts. Spinal cord lesions were extended from the medulla up to the level of the conus. Urineketone bodies and 3-hydroxyisurate were increased. The activity of biotinidase was 0.27 pmol/min (3 mm disc), being 7% of mean normal serum activity. Genetic studies revealed homozygous mutation in the BTD gene [c.284T>A (p.I95N)]. After biotin supplementation for 6 months, the only evident abnormality was residual spasticity of lower limbs. Fourteen English literatures and 2 Chinese literatures including 18 cases were collected. The onset age was from 2 months to 15 years (median age was 4 years). Among them, 11 cases had cranial MRI abnormalities, of which all involved brain stem, 6 cases involved optic tracts and (or) optic chiasm. All 18 cases had spinal cord MRI abnormalities with longitudinally extensive lesion, mostly involved cervical and thoracic spinal segments, and 3 cases involved all spinal segments. Twelve cases received immunotherapy, and 6 were partially improved, 6 were completely invalid. After biotin supplementation, 12 patients had neurological disability. Conclusions:BTD should be included in the differential diagnosis of subacute myelopathy, regardless of the onset age. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent irreversible neurological damage.
