The present study aims at investigating the frequency and characteristics of hyperuricemia in both obese and sick children. First, we established our own reference values for serum uric acid (UA), since UA values are highly dependent upon age. In the analysis of 328 samples consisting of six different age groups: <1, 1–3, 4–6, 7–9, 10–12, and 13–15 years, the mean values for UA were found to increase significantly with an increase of age. A significant sex difference was observed only in the age group of 13–15 years. Hyperuricemia was defined as the values over the mean value plus 2 standard deviations for each age group. Next, we examined the frequency of hyperuricemia in 1,687 obese children aged 6–15 years and its relation to metabolic syndrome (MetS). A total of 328 children (19.4%) were found to have hyperuricemia. Among them, 98 children (29.9%) had MetS, whereas 197 (14.5%) out of 1,359 children without hyperuricemia had MetS. Finally, the frequency of hyperuricemia in sick patients was investigated using 13,675 samples from 9,405 patients. Hyperuricemia was seen in 348 (3.7%) patients after excluding redundant samples. The number of patients with hyperuricemia was higher in males than in females. The most common disorder causing hyperuricemia was gastroenteritis, followed by respiratory tract infection and cardiac diseases. This first comprehensive study of childhood hyperuricemia is useful for considering its relationship with hyperuricemia and life-style-related disorders occurring in adulthood. 相似文献

Spinal cord lesions affect colorectal motility, anorectal sensation and anal sphincter function. The aim of this study was to describe bowel habits in children with Myelomeningocele (MMC). Questionnaires describing age, gender, neurological deficit, bowel function and the Child Behaviour Checklist were send to all Danish children with MMC aged 2-18 years. Among 208 patients, 125 (60%; 63 girls) responded. Defecation was described as abnormal in 85 (68%). Digital stimulation or evacuation were used by 25 (20%), suppositories by 13 (10%) and enemas 35 by (28%). Time spent at each defecation was > 30 minutes in 29 (24%). Among children aged four years or more (n = 100), daily faecal incontinence was reported by 14 (14%) and weekly incontinence by another 14 (14%). Bowel dysfunction had some or major impact on social activities or quality of life in 48 (40%). Time spent on defecation increased and the impact on quality of life became more severe with advancing age. Information about bowel management had been given to 56% of parents and 9% of children. In conclusion colorectal problems are common in children with MMC and their impact of quality of life becomes more severe as the children grow older. There is an unfullfilled need for information about bowel management. 相似文献

To clarify the effects of age on bacterial translocation from the gastrointestinal tract, mice at the age of 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 15 months were antibiotic-decontaminated for 4 days and then inoculated orally with streptomycin-resistant Escherichia coli C25. Mice treated with cyclophosphamide and untreated controls were tested for bacterial translocation to the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) 2 days later. The population levels of E. coli C25 in cyclophosphamide-treated and untreated mice were approximately 10(9.3) and 10(9.5) per gram of cecum, respectively, at each tested age. There were no significant differences in the incidence of translocation of E. coli C25 to MLN at any of the tested ages, whereas the number of E. coli C25 detected in MLN was higher in young mice than in aged mice in both the cyclophosphamide-treated and untreated groups. These findings suggest that bacterial translocation from the GI tract may be a more important problem in young animals than in aged animals. 相似文献

Unhealthy dietary pattern increases the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders in growing children and adolescents. However, the way the habitual pattern of breakfast consumption influences body composition and risk of obesity in adolescents is not well defined. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess any associations between breakfast consumption practices and body composition profiles in 236 apparently healthy adolescents aged 12 to 19 years. A self-administered questionnaire on dietary behaviour and lifestyle practices and a dietary food frequency questionnaire were used. Body composition and adiposity indices were determined using standard anthropometric measurement protocols and dual energy χ-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Mean age of the participants was 15.3±1.9 years. The majority of participants (71.2%) fell in the normal body mass index (BMI) ranges. Breakfast consumption patterns showed that only half of the participants (50%) were consuming breakfast daily. Gender-specific multivariate analyses (ANCOVA) showed that in both boys and girls, those eating breakfast at least 5 times a week had significantly lower body weight, body mass index (BMI), BMI z-scores, waist circumference, body fat mass and percent body fat (%BF) compared to infrequent breakfast eaters, after adjustment for age, household income, pubertal status, eating-out and snacking practices, daily energy intakes, and daily physical activity levels. The present findings indicate that infrequent breakfast consumption is associated with higher body adiposity and abdominal obesity. Therefore, daily breakfast consumption with healthy food choices should be encouraged in growing children and adolescents to prevent adiposity during these critical years of growth. 相似文献

The quantity of organic acids ( lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid ) in the content of the gastrointestinal tract of germ-free and conventional rats and the effects of the organic acid on the motility of the gastrointestinal tract of rats were investigated.Organic acids were detected only in the gastrointestinal contents of conventional rats but not in those of germ-free rats.Lactic acid detected in the stomach of rats stimulated the motility of both small and large bowel while acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid found in the cecum stimulated the motility of the large bowel but not of small bowel. 相似文献

Plastic bread-bag clips have been identified as a cause of local perforation or obstruction at many sites in the gastrointestinal tract. This study is the largest case series yet reported, consisting of 3 cases presenting as small-bowel perforation, 1 case in which the clip was found incidentally in the small bowel at laparotomy during vascular surgery and 1 case in which the clip was found incidentally in the small bowel at autopsy. In all cases there was no radiographic evidence to suggest a foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract. People older than 60 years of age who have either partial or full dentures seem to be particularly at risk for the accidental ingestion of these devices. If accidentally ingested, plastic bread-bag clips represent a significant health hazard. As the population ages, small-bowel perforation secondary to ingestion of such clips may occur with increasing frequency. The authors recommend elimination or redesign of the clips, to prevent their being swallowed and becoming impacted in the small bowel or to allow them to be identified in the gastrointestinal tract by conventional radiography. 相似文献

The effects of intravenous infusion of neurotensin on small bowel motility was studied in conscious rats. During 1 h a standardized test meal of glucose, polyethyleneglycol (PEG) 3000, phenol red and 125I-labelled polyvinylpyrrolidone was administered via a permanent gastric catheter and simultaneously the bile-excreted radiopharmaceutic 99Tcm-Solco-HIDA was infused intravenously. Immediately after the infusions the gastrointestinal specimen was excised and examined for distribution of radioactivity. Both doses of neurotensin (0.1 and 0.3 μg · kg?1 · h?1) resulted in an increase in the neurotensin-like immunoreactivity (NTLI) of plasma to levels similar to that found after a fatty meal. Concurrently the small bowel transport pattern was changed from an interdigestive state to one similar to that found after a meal. In animals not receiving the gastric test meal, neurotensin (0.1–0.5 μg · kg?1 · h?) had no effect on motility. Infusion of the gastric test meal alone did not change the interdigestive motility or the NTLI value. This indicates that the presence of gastric infusates potentiates the effect of neurotensin on small bowel motility. The motility response to neurotensin did not differ between intact and vagotomized animals. This contrasts to earlier findings that the small bowel motility response to a fatty meal is dependent on intact vagal function. Thus, a difference in the mechanism responsible for the motility responses between a fatty meal and neurotensin exists. In view of this finding it seems reasonable to assume that neurotensin cannot be the only factor responsible for the shift in motility found after a fatty meal. 相似文献

A complex study of the functional state of the sympathoadrenal system and adrenal cortex in 10–15-year-old children of both sexes was carried out using the indices of daily excretion of adrenaline, noradrenaline, 17-ketosteroids, and 17-hydroxycorticosteroids. A synchronism in the functional activity of the mediator component of the sympathoadrenal system as well as of the androgenic and glucocorticoid functions of the adrenal cortex was observed with age and during pubertal development of children. At the same time, heterochronic maturation was observed in the sex groups: in girls at the age of 10 and 12 years and in boys at the age of 14–15 years. The changes of different direction and intensity in the excretion of the studied hormones and hormonal metabolites were observed in the sex and age groups. A sharp increase in the daily excretion of glucocorticoid metabolites accompanied by a considerable decrease in the age index of noradrenaline secretion was observed in 14-and 15-year-old boys from beginning to end of school year; in addition, an increase in the daily excretion of sex hormones was observed at the age of 15 years. In girls, these indices varied within the age range, which points to a more sophisticated neuroendocrine control of physiological functions in girls during puberty. 相似文献

Changes in the fatty acid composition of blood cell membranes in children with inflammatory diseases

Fatty acid composition of erythrocyte and leukocyte membranes has been studied in children (with normal body mass and obesity)
with inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and children with bronchial asthma in comparison with basically healthy
children. Fifty seven children aged from 7 to 14 years were examined: 13 with inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract (IDGIT) (eosophagitis, gastroduodenitis, stomach ulcer), 25 with obesity stages (I–III) complicated by IDGIT, 9 with
bronchial asthma and 10 basically healthy children. The study revealed that both IDGIT and bronchial asthma caused significant
and similar changes in fatty acid composition of cell membranes. These included accumulation of ω3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and the decrease of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); this phenomenon observed in both erythrocyte and leukocyte membranes suggests
a common feature of the detected changes in fatty acid composition of cell membranes in inflammation. There was a significant
decrease in the level of membrane ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), first of all arachidonic acid and total ω6 PUFA.
Consequently, EPA accumulation in membranes may be a compensatory response to low dietary arachidonic acid supply and/or its
increased loss for the synthesis of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids (prostaglandins, leukotriens, thromboxans) during inflammatory
process. 相似文献

Background: Helicobacter pylori is mainly acquired in childhood. Although adult studies reported a high prevalence of H. pylori infection in Portugal, the actual rate in children remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and the incidence of H. pylori infection in an asymptomatic pediatric population of the Lisbon area and to correlate prevalence with sociodemographic determinants. Materials and Methods: Helicobacter pylori infection was determined by stool antigen test in 844 asymptomatic children (age 0–15 years; 49.4% boys). For the incidence study, H. pylori‐negative children in the prevalence study were followed‐up every 6 months over a 3‐year period. Results: The global prevalence of H. pylori infection was 31.6%, increasing with age (19.9, 37.0 and 51.5%, in age groups 0–5, 6–10, and 11–15, respectively), but was similar among genders (34.5% in boys and 28.4% in girls). Older age and attendance of nursery/kindergarten during preschool constituted independent risk factors. The overall estimated incidence was 11.6 per 100 child‐years (CY). Although 47.5% of children acquired H. pylori infection before 5 years of age, the mean age of acquisition was 6.3. The incidence of infection was similar among the three age groups (11.5, 13.0, and 10.5 per 100 CY, in age groups 0–5, 6–10, and 11–15, respectively). Conclusions: The prevalence of H. pylori infection in the Portuguese pediatric population is still high. Although this study confirmed that the highest acquisition rate occurs at young age, it showed that in high‐prevalence populations, older children can also acquire H. pylori infection at a rate similar to that of young children. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the parameters of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) in healthy children of different age groups (n = 94). The amplitudes of the main cortical peaks and the central sensory conduction time (CSCT) from n. medianus and n. tibialis in children aged under 12 months, 1–12 years, and 12–17 years were estimated and compared. No significant cortical peaks were recorded from the tibial nerve in five children younger than 1 year (5 out of 23, 22%). Significant differences in CSCT were observed between the children younger than 1 year and two other groups. The amplitudes did not significantly differ between the groups. Thus, SSEPs may be used for the evaluation of somatosensory pathways in children aged one month to 17 years. CSCT differs significantly between children younger than 1 year and other age groups. Age-related reduction in CSCT and elevation of the cortical peak amplitudes may reflect the myelination of somatosensory pathways and the improvement in nervous system integration. 相似文献

PL-10.1.AK-15 is an active fragment of a naturally occurring protein first isolated from human gastric juice. Among its other protective effects, PL-10.1.AK-15 has demonstrated a protective effect on the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of PL-10.1.AK-15 on two functional parameters of gastrointestinal function: gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility. Gastric acid secretion was assessed in male Wistar rats using a modified method of Shay, while gastrointestinal motility was assessed in male NMRI mice by charcoal propulsion. PL-10.1.AK-15 was given in three different doses (3, 10 and 100 μg/kg body weight) in accordance with the experimental protocol. The results of these experiments indicate that PL-10.1.AK-15 in the investigated doses had no influence on gastric acid secretion or gastrointestinal motility. 相似文献

Chronic experiments on hypophysectomized dogs with gastric and small intestinal fistulas as well as with hypothalamus-implanted electrodes have shown that blockade of alfa-adrenoreceptors by phentolamine increases the number of the excitatory motility responses while stimulating hypothalamic structures during rest of the gastrointestinal tract and decreases inhibitory effects of the stomach while stimulating hypothalamic structures during work of the digestive tract. The blockade of beta-adrenoreceptors by obsidan induces weakening of excitatory responses of the digestive tract and intensification of inhibitory ones while stimulating hypothalamic structures in hypophysectomized dogs. 相似文献

In 1972-1974 and 1977 in the Estonian SSR children and adults were surveyed for the presence of antibodies against tetanus and diphtheria toxins (toxoids) by means of the passive hemagglutination test. The level of protection against tetanus was revealed to correspond to the proportion of child population covered by vaccination: in 1977, with 98.8% covered by vaccination, the level of protection among children aged 7 to 14 years and adolescents of 15-19 years exceeded 98%; with the increase of age (every 10-15 years) the level of protection against tetanus regularly decreased. This dynamics correlated with the existing terms of postvaccinal immunity and the epidemiological independence of tetanus as infectiion. The level of protection in child population against diphtheria in 1972-1974 and 1977 lagged behind the level of protection against tetanus and the coverage by vaccination. The diphtheria component of adsorbed DPT vaccine seemed to be unable to ensure the sufficient level and intensity of immunity under conditions of a sharply decreased risk of encounter with the infective agent. In persons aged 40 years and over the indices of immunity against diphtheria were higher than against tetanus. These indices resulted from diphtheria infection at the prevaccination period and could serve as an objective sign in following up the decrease of the process of diphtheria epidemics. 相似文献

肠易激综合征(IBS)是一种常见的功能性胃肠道疾病,其特征是反复发作的腹痛,伴随排便频率与大便性状的改变。腹泻为主的肠易激综合征(IBS-D)是其主要亚型,主要表现是腹痛和腹泻。目前IBS-D的发病机制尚不完全明确,但大量的研究提示可能与胃肠道动力紊乱、黏膜通透性和肠上皮屏障功能改变、内脏高敏感性增加、“脑‒肠‒菌”轴失调、肠道感染与炎症反应激活、精神心理因素异常等有关。随着研究的不断深入,发现肠道菌群与IBS-D的关系密切,调节肠道菌群的益生菌干预成为缓解IBS-D相关症状的手段之一。本研究就近十余年来肠道菌群情况与IBS-D关系的研究现状作一综述。 相似文献

ABSTRACT: This study tried to examine, from epidemiological and physiologic anthropological (Japanese culture on breakfast) points of view, the integrated effects of the amount of tryptophan and vitamin B6 intake and the following exposure to sunlight on the circadian typology and sleep habits in young Japanese children aged 2 to 6 years, using the newly-evaluated calculating system of tryptophan (Tryptophan Index 2009) and vitamin B6 intake (VitaminB6 Index 2009) at breakfast. The positive and significant correlation was shown between the Morningness-Eveningness (M-E) score and the Tryptophan Index and also the Vitamin B6 Index. This positive correlation between M-E score and amount of tryptophan intake was shown only by children who were exposed to sunlight for longer than 10min after breakfast. These results might support the following hypothesis: higher tryptophan and vitamin B6 intake at breakfast could promote the synthesis of serotonin via light stimulation in the morning in children. 相似文献

A simple tubing stent was attempted to test a model for sutureless gastrointestinal anastomosis in 6 male rats at the age of 15 weeks. In the 3rd and 4th weeks after the operation, X-ray examination demonstrated that the gastrointestinal passage in the anastomotic site was quite satisfactory. There was no incidence of anastomotic leakage. In the 6th week after the operation, there were no macroscopic or microscopic ruptures, nor were there any obstructions at the anastomotic site. This simple sutureless method was effective at preparing anastomosis in the gastrointestinal tract in the rat and could be applied to other small experimental animals. 相似文献

The [13C]octanoic acid breath test was used for the measurement of differences in gastric emptying in preterm infants for the evaluation of pharmacological therapy. In order to perform a good intra-individual comparison of the gastric emptying in preterm infants under non-standardisable test conditions, we adjusted t1/2 for variations in non-recovered label (=label retention) and introduced an “effective half 13CO2 breath excretion time” t1/2eff=t1/2/m expressed as min per percentage of the cumulative dose recovered. In a pilot study, we investigated the action of the gastrointestinal prokinetic drug cisapride on gastric emptying in seven premature infants, of whom four suffered from gastric stasis and three had constipation. The postnatal age and weight at the start of treatment ranged from 15 to 64 days and from 815 to 1635 g, respectively. All infants received the standard formula for premature infants (Nenatal, Nutricia). Cisapride was administered orally 0.2 mg/kg, four times daily. The changes in gastrointestinal motility were studied using the total bowel transit time of carmine red. After 7 days of treatment in all children, the gastric emptying coefficient and the half 13CO2 breath excretion time adjusted for label retention were improved (n=7, the gastric emptying coefficient range before treatment was 1.69–3.34 (mean 2.59±0.80) and after treatment it was 2.79–3.76 (mean 3.28±0.30); the half 13CO2 breath excretion time adjusted for label retention range before treatment was 3.0–14.7 min/% dose (mean 7.0±5.0) and after treatment 2.6–4.0 min/% dose (mean 3.1±0.6). The total bowel transit time was only slightly improved in two patients (n=7, mean total bowel transit time before: 23.7 h compared to mean total bowel transit time after 7 days of treatment: 35.5 h). Side effects during cisapride treatment were not seen. We conclude that in premature infants cisapride is effective in shortening gastric emptying time and reducing gastric stasis; the therapeutic role in constipation has to be further investigated. 相似文献
