Objective To assess the safety, effectiveness and predictive factors of endoscopic balloon dilatation for the treatment of esophageal stricture and esophageal achalasia in children. Methods 28 patients with esophageal stricture and esophageal achalasia treated by endoscopic balloon dilatation from January 2012 to November 2014 were included. All the patients were divided into two groups, 22 in group A (esophageal stricture) and 6 in group B (esophageal achalasia). All procedures were performed under tracheal intubation and intravenous anesthesia using the 3rd grade controlled radial expansion (CRE) balloon with gastroscope. Outcomes, including success, complications and recurrence data were recorded, and predictors for outcomes were analyzed. Results A total of EBD 57 sessions (1 to 5 per patient, 2.00 ± 1.15) were performed on 28 patients in this study. 22 patients were diagnosed with esophageal stricture (78.57%) and 6 with esophageal achalasia (21.43%). The median age was 25 months (range 0 ~ 150), and female/ male ratio was 12/16. EBD was successful in all the 28 cases. The total success rate was 100.00%. Complications occurred in 6 patients during the dilatation, and no complication in 22 patients. Completely remission of symptoms was seen in 82.14% cases (n = 23), relief in 14.28% (n = 4), non-response in 3.57% (n = 1), and recurrence in 3.57% (n = 1). The stricture diameter before EBD was (6.28 ± 1.77) mm (range 3.0 ~ 10.0 mm), and it was (10.85 ± 2.51) (range 6 ~ 15 mm) after the last EBD. The difference was significant (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in success, effectiveness, complications and recurrence among the two groups (P > 0.05). The effectiveness of EBD was significantly associated with the diameter and number of strictures (P < 0.05), more complications were seen in the patients with multiple and/or smaller strictures (P < 0.05). In group A, the longer interval between surgery and the first EBD was related to more dilatation in the patients with anastomotic esophageal strictures (P < 0.05). The age and the interval between symptom onset and the first EBD were not the predicting factors for treatment in group B (P > 0.05). Conclusions The results of this study indicated that EBD under general anesthesia was an effective primary treatment in children with esophageal stricture and esophageal achalasia. The diameter and number of stricture were the most important predictive factors for successful clinical outcomes, while the interval between surgery and the first EBD was the most risk factor for EBD sessions in the patients with anastomotic esophageal strictures.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of severe liver damage in children.MethodsClinical data of 55 children with severe liver damage were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 55 children (31 boys and 24 girls) aged from 28 days to 12 years, forty-five children had acute liver injury mainly caused by infectious diseases (21 cases, 53.3%), blood tumor diseases (5 cases, 11.1%), hereditary metabolic diseases (4 cases, 8.9%), and unexplained diseases (10 cases, 22.2%), ten children had chronic liver injury with decompensated cir-rhosis. Most of severe liver damage in children was caused by antipyretic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine and cold medicine, including 31 cases of acute liver injury and 4 cases of chronic liver injury. In children with acute liver injury, clinical symptoms included gastrointestinal symptoms (32 cases, 71.1%), jaundice (26 cases, 57.8%), hemorrhage (9 cases, 20.0%), multiple organ dysfunction (13 cases, 28.9%) and hepatic encephalopathy (6 cases, 13.3%). In children with chronic liver damage, clinical symptoms included abdominal distension and ascites (10 cases), jaundice (9 cases), gastrointestinal bleeding (7 cases), hepatic encephalopathy (3 cases) and multiple organ dysfunction (1 case). In 55 chil-dren, 39 children were died and the total mortality was 70.91%. In 14 cases of multiple organs dysfunction syndromes, 13 cases (92.9%) were died. All three cases of hepatic encephalopathy were died.ConclusionsInfectious diseases are the leading cause of sever liver damage in children. The most common inciting factors are antipyretic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine and cold medicine. Children with severe liver damage have a high mortality. Rational use of medicine and the concept of the prevention first should been strengthened.

Objective To explore fecal bacteria transplantation for the treatment of severe gastrointestinal disease caused by food allergy. Method The therapeutic process of fecal bacteria transplantation for treatment of severe food allergy gastrointestinal disease was retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed. Results A 2-year-old boy had onset of intestinal infection and diarrhea was persistent even though he had received adequate anti-infection therapy and supportive treatment. Finally, the patient received the treatment of fecal bacteria transplantation and the symptoms were then improved. No adverse reactions were observed in 2 months of follow-up. In foreign literature, fecal bacteria transplantation in children is mainly applied to clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with efficiency of 90%- 100% and 55.6% - 100%, respectively. While in the domestic literature, fecal bacteria transplantation in children is mainly used in CDI and antibiotic associated diarrhea, and the effective rate is 100%. No serious adverse reactions were found in all the researches. Conclusion Fecal transplantation is safe and effective in the treatment of children with severe gastrointestinal disease caused by food allergy, but its application in children is not yet mature and needs more in-depth researches.

OBJECTIVETo explore the etiology and clinical characteristics of hypoxic hepatitis (HH) in children.
METHODClinical data of 7 patients with HH in Shenzhen Children's Hospital from January 2011 to March 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.
RESULTSeven cases diagnosed as HH, age from 4 months to 11 years, were admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and accounted for 0.32% of patients in PICU during the same period. The primary causes of HH were respiratory failure and cardiac shock caused by severe hand-foot-and-mouth disease, fulminant myocarditis, infant muggy syndrome . Serologic tests for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, as well as serum antibody and DNA for Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus were all negative. There was an increase of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (≥20 time supper limit of normal (ULN), the highest ALT was more than 130 times ULN in all the patients, which was decreased to 2 times ULN from peak within 10 days. There was a significant relationship between ALT and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in 3 cases(r=1.000, 1.000, and 0.833, respectively, P<0.05), ALT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)in 2 cases(r=1.000 and 0.886, respectively, P<0.05), ALT and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)in 1 case(r=1.000, P<0.05), and ALT and creatine kinase(CK)in 1 case(r=0.964, P<0.05). The ALT, AST and LDH returned to normal soon after the primary diseases were controlled.
CONCLUSIONSevere heart failure, hypoxemia, shock, etc. are the leading primary diseases causing HH. The sharp increase in ALT, AST and LDH is the typical laboratory manifestion in HH after the onset, which may decline to normal shortly after the treatment, sometimes complicated with reversible change in BUN or CK.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and the study on the regulatory mechanisms of the invasion and migration of HCC is of great significance to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Circular RNA (circRNA), as an important member of the non-coding RNA family, plays the role of microRNA (miRNA) sponge in hepatocytes due to its highly stable circular structure. It also plays an important role in HCC progression by regulating miRNA or promoting the expression of target genes through the competitive endogenous RNA mechanism. This article explores the mechanism of action of circRNA in the pathogenesis of HCC, so as to help with the screening for diagnostic markers of HCC and the development of effective therapeutic targets for HCC.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of D-galactose (D-gal) on aging of rat marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and its mechanism.
METHODSMSCs isolated from young (7 d) SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group, 1g/L, 10g/L and 50g/L D-gal treatment groups. In control group MSCs were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS for 48 h. In the D-gal treatment groups, MSCs were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS with 1g/L, 10g/L or 50g/L D-gal for 48 h. The senescence-associated changes were examined with SA-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, the expressions of p53, p21 and p16 were detected by Western blot. The living and apoptotic cells were determined by AO/EB staining. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. SOD activity was measured by xanthine oxidase method, and the MDA content was estimated with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method.
RESULTSCompared to control group, the number of SA-β-gal positive cells and the expression of p53, p21 and p16 were significantly increased in the 10g/L and 50g/L D-gal treatment groups. The apoptosis rate in 50g/L D-gal group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01). The proliferation of MSCs was decreased in the 10g/L and 50g/L D-gal groups compared to control group (P<0.05). After 10g/L and 50g/L D-gal treatment, SOD activity was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and MDA level was increased (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe aging of MSCs can be induced by 10g/L and 50g/L D-gal, which may be associated with the elevated levels of oxidative stress.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical features, biochemical change and genetic mutations of a neonate with congenital bile acid synthesis disorder type 2.
METHODSClinical features, blood biochemical index, gene analysis and treatment of the patient were reviewed.
RESULTSThe patient presented with the symptoms of jaundice 3 days after birth but without skin itching. Pale stool was noted. Subsequently, he presented with hepatomegaly, blood coagulation disorders, left cochlear nerve damage, liver cirrhosis and remarkable growth retardation. Serum biochemistries showed that bilirubin and transaminase were elevated, while γ -GT and total bile acid was normal. Abdominal ultrasonography indicated decline of gallbladder contraction. Cholangiography showed normal extra- and intrahepatic bile ducts and patent biliary tract. Liver biopsy showed intrahepatic cholestasis. Gene testing has identified a homozygous mutation in AKR1D1 gene.
CONCLUSIONCongenital bile acid synthesis disorder should be suspected when a neonate has presented with jaundice, elevated bilirubin and transaminase, normal or reduced TBA and γ -GT. Genetic testing and urine mass spectrometry analysis can diagnose congenital bile acid synthesis disorder. Early therapy is crucial to patients with congenital bile acid synthesis disorder.
