Objective:To study the risk factors of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after surgery for intestinal atresia.Method:From August 2013 to June 2020, children with intestinal atresia receiving surgery in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were assigned into NEC group and non-NEC group according to the occurrence of postoperative NEC. Demographic data and clinical characteristics were summarized and the risk factors for postoperative NEC were analyzed using Logistic regression analysis method.Result:A total of 96 infants were enrolled and NEC occurred in 13 patients (13.5%) after surgery for intestinal atresia. Compared with the non-NEC group, the NEC group were diagnosed of intestinal atresia [4.0(1.5,6.0)d vs. 1.4(0,2.0)d, P<0.001] and received surgery [4.8(2.0,7.0)d vs. 3.1(1.0,4.0)d, P=0.034] at later ages. The incidences of complex intestinal atresia [76.9%(10/13) vs. 44.6%(37/83), P=0.030] and blood transfusion [46.2%(6/13) vs. 13.3%(11/83), P=0.007] in the NEC group were higher than the non-NEC group. Logistic regression analysis showed that the age of initial diagnosis of intestinal atresia ( OR=3.346, 95% CI 1.493~7.500, P=0.003), complex intestinal atresia ( OR=9.052, 95% CI 1.119~73.209, P=0.039) and blood transfusion ( OR=6.835, 95% CI 1.399~33.380, P=0.018) were independent risk factors for postoperative NEC. Conclusion:Patients with delayed diagnosis of intestinal atresia, complex intestinal atresia and blood transfusion within 48 hours after surgery should be monitored for the occurrence of postoperative NEC.

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of Gegen Qinliantang(GQT) on the fecal short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs) metabolism in antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD) through targeted metabolomics. MethodA total of 240 SD rats were randomly divided into six groups(n=40, half male and half female), including blank group, model group, bifidobiogen group(0.15 g·kg-1), and GQT high-, medium-, and low-dose groups(10.08, 5.04, 2.52 g·kg-1), except for the blank group, clindamycin(250 mg·kg-1) was given to all groups by gavage for modeling every day for 7 d. After successful modeling, each administered group was gavaged with the corresponding dose of the drug, and the blank and model groups were gavaged with an equal volume of normal saline solution, 1 time/d, for 14 d. At 0, 3, 7, 14 d after the drug intervention, eight rats were randomly selected from each group, respectively. Gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(GC-TOF-MS) was used to perform targeted metabolomic analysis of SCFAs in the feces of rats, and partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) was applied to compare the differences in metabolic profiles between groups at different treatment times, and to compare the changes in the contents of SCFAs in rat feces between groups. ResultPLS-DA results showed that the blank group could be clearly distinguishable from the model group, with GQT exhibiting a closer proximity to the blank group after 7 d of treatment. After further analyzing the composition of SCFAs, it was found that the proportion of acetic acid increased and the proportions of butyric acid, valeric acid, hexanoic acid and isovaleric acid decreased in the model group compared with the blank group. After the treatment with GQT, the proportions of butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, and isovaleric acid increased, and the proportions of acetic acid, propionic acid and caproic acid decreased. Subsequent differential analysis revealed that GQT could significantly improve the content of butyric acid, and had a certain retrogressive effect on the contents of valeric acid and hexanoic acid. ConclusionThe medium dose group of GQT can improve the contents of SCFAs in AAD feces after 7 days of treatment, which may be related to the improvement of the composition ratio of SCFAs and the contents of butyric acid, valeric acid and caproic acid.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Gegen Qinliantang(GQT) on the intestinal flora of antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD) by 16S rRNA sequencing and network pharmacology. MethodSixty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups(n=10), including blank group, model group, GQT high-, medium- and low-dose groups(10.08, 5.04, 2.52 g·kg-1) as well as Lizhu Changle group(0.15 g·kg-1), except for the blank group, each group was given clindamycin(250 mg·kg-1) by gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days. After successful modeling, the blank group and the model group were given equal volumes of normal saline by gavage. The other groups were given corresponding doses of drugs by gavage for 14 days. Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP) was used to screen the active components and targets of GQT, GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM) database, Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base(PharmGKB), DrugBank and DisGeNET were used to search for AAD disease targets. The drug-disease common targets were obtained by R software. STRING was applied to analyze the target protein-protein interaction, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed. Then hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the colon, and 16S rRNA sequencing of AAD colon content flora structure further verified the results of network pharmacology. ResultThrough network pharmacology, it was found that 238 active components were screened from GQT and acted on 276 component targets, among which quercetin, puerarin, wogonin and apigenin were the main core components of GQT, 1 097 AAD disease targets and 127 drug-disease intersection targets. The protein-protein interaction network mainly included core targets such as protein kinase B1(Akt1), interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β, which were mainly enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway. It was verified through animal experiments that compared with the blank group, the colon structure of the model group was seriously abnormal, the intestinal epithelial columnar cells were damaged, the goblet cells were reduced, and a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated. Compared with the model group, the colon structure of the GQT high-dose group improved, but there were still abnormalities, the colon structure of GQT medium- and low- dose groups and Lizhu Changle group improved significantly and reached the normal level. GQT could improve the structural diversity of AAD intestinal flora. At the phylum level, the abundance of Firmicutes was increased and the abundance of Bacteroidetes was decreased. At the genus level, the abundance of Lactobacillus was increased, and the abundances of Prevotella and Bacteroides were decreased. Among them, Lactococcus could be used as a biomarker for AAD treatment with GQT, and the prediction of functional metabolism of intestinal flora revealed that GQT could promote acetate and lactate metabolic pathways in the intestine. ConclusionGQT may activate IL-17 signaling pathway by acting on the targets of Akt1 and IL-6 through key components such as quercetin and wogonin, and improve the abundance of Lactococcus in the intestinal tract as well as acetate and lactate metabolic pathways, so as to play a role in repairing the intestinal barrier for the treatment of AAD.
