Objective:To identify the risk factors for the first weaning failure following mandibular distraction osteogenesis in pediatric patients with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS).Methods:Clinical data of pediatric patients with PRS who underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis from January 2018 to February 2023 were collected, including sex, age, premature birth, birth weight, surgical weight, cleft palate, syndrome type PRS, laryngeal/tracheobronchial malacia, simple congenital heart disease, complex congenital heart disease, preoperative mechanical ventilation, preoperative pulmonary infection, blood albumin concentration, difficulty in tracheal intubation under a visual laryngoscope, surgical duration, postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia, duration of mechanical ventilation at first weaning, and traction length at first weaning. Children in whom the first postoperative machine withdrawal failed were included in observation group and matched to control cases(control group) in a 1∶4 ratio. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the logistic regression analysis to stratify the risk factors for postoperative weaning failure. Results:There were significant differences in birth weight, cleft palate, duration of mechanical ventilation and traction length at first weaning, rate of combined cleft palate, preoperative pulmonary infection rate, rate of preoperative mechanical ventilation, and rate of postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia between the two groups ( P<0.05). Binary logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that the preoperative mechanical ventilation ( OR=18.154, 95% CI 3.971-82.990, P<0.001) and postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia ( OR=36.942, 95% CI 1.307-1043.985, P=0.034) were independent risk factors for first weaning failure after mandibular distraction osteogenesis, while birth weight gain ( OR=0.225, 95% CI 0.076-0.668, P=0.007) was a protective factor for first weaning failure ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative mechanical ventilation and postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia are independent risk factors and birth weight gain is a protective factor for first weaning failure following mandibular distraction osteogenesis in pediatric patients with PRS.

Although pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is rare in clinical practice, it seriously threatens the life and health of children due to acute onset and rapid progression. PALF has various etiologies, and at present, it is still unable to identify the etiology in a relatively large proportion of children. The clinical manifestations of PALF are also different from those of adults, and it is difficult to judge early hepatic encephalopathy in infants and young children. It is very important to maintain the stability of internal environment, provide etiological treatment, and avoid drug abuse and the abuse of blood products. Blood purification can be performed for patients with related indications to win more time for autogenous liver function recovery and liver transplantation, and the precise diagnosis and treatment of PALF should be taken seriously in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics, treatments and outcomes of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder(PTLD)in pediatric liver transplant recipients.Methods:From October 2016 to October 2021, retrospective data analysis was performed for 11 pediatric liver transplant recipients with PTLD. There were 5 males and 6 females with a diagnostic age of 1-8 years. Living donor liver transplantation(LDLT, n=9)and deceased donor liver transplantation(DDLT, n=2)were performed. All recipients received tacrolimus plus methylprednisolone. The major clinical manifestations included lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, anemia, fever and digestive system symptoms(diarrhea, abdominal pain, ascites, hematochezia & intussusception, etc.). Laboratory tests hinted at hypoproteinemia, elevated transaminases and serum positivity of EBV-DNA. Positron emission tomography and computed tomography(PET-CT)revealed PTLD( n=9). Ten children were diagnosed by pathology, including lymphoid hyperplasia( n=3), plasmacytic hyperplasia PTLD( n=1), polymorphic PTLD( n=2), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma( n=2), infectious mononucleosis PTLD( n=1)and Burkitt lymphoma( n=1). Results:After a definite diagnosis of PTLD, tacrolimus was tapered or discontinued. And rituximab was prescribed. Two patients received chemotherapy(R-COP & R-CHOP)while 2 cases of local masses were operated. Up until February 2022, 10 cases survived and their conditions improved. One patient died of infection.Conclusions:PTLD is one of the most serious and fatal complications after liver transplantation in children. Clinical manifestations are diverse and an early diagnosis is difficult. The changes of EBV-DNA load should be closely monitored after liver transplantation. Imaging and pathological examinations may aid in an early diagnosis of PTLD. A treatment regimen based on immunosuppression reduction and rituximab improves the prognosis of PTLD in pediatric liver transplant recipients.

Objective:To assess the transient elastography (TE) in assessing hepatic fibrosis in pediatric chronic liver disease.Methods:Children with chronic liver disease who were both examined with TE and percutaneous transhepatic puncture for grading Scheuer scores in the Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2017 to September 2017 were recruited.Ordinal Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the interfering factors for hepatic fibrosis.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to acquire the optimal cut-off value and to calculate the area under the curve (AUC). Results:Thirty-eight children were enrolled finally, including 28 boys and 10 girls with the mean age of 7.4 years old (1.1-16.0 years). The success rate of detecting hepatic fibrosis was 85%.Ordinal Logistic regression analysis discovered that only the value of liver stiffness measured by TE was correlated with the grade of hepatic fibrosis ( β=0.055, P<0.001). TE was effective to differentiate hepatic fibrosis[<S2 vs.≥S2 (6.6±4.0) kPa vs.(21.2±18.6) kPa, P=0.001], significant hepatic fibrosis[<S3 vs.≥S3 (7.4±4.0) kPa vs.(34.8±19.0) kPa, P=0.000 1, and cirrhosis[<S4 vs.S4 (10.6±12.3) kPa vs.(35.8±15.1) kPa, P=0.002]. At the cut-off values of liver stiffness measurement with 6.89 kPa and 14.39 kPa, AUC of it to predict the grade of hepatic fibrosis ≥S2 and ≥S3 were 0.81 ( P=0.001) and 0.94( P<0.001), respectively. Conclusions:TE is a useful and reliable noninvasive tool to assess hepatic fibrosis in pediatric chronic liver disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical and genetic features of patients with glycogen storage disease type Ⅸa (GSD Ⅸa), and to improve the clinical understanding of the disease. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 20 patients who were hospitalized and genetically diagnosed with GSD Ⅸa in Children’s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2015 to December 2018, and their clinical and genetic features were summarized. ResultsAll 20 patients with GSD Ⅸa were male, with a median age of 2.5 years at the time of confirmed diagnosis. All patients had hepatomegaly and elevated aminotransferases; of all patients, there were 5 patients (250%) with growth retardation, 19 (95.0%) with fasting hypoglycemia, 14 (70.0%) with hyperlactatemia, 9 (45.0%) with hypertriglyceridemia, and 5 (25.0%) with hypercholesterolemia. Fasting blood ketone was measured for 8 patients and all of these patients had an increase in blood ketone; all patients had normal uric acid, and 5 patients (25.0%) had positive urine ketone. Liver biopsy was performed for 18 patients, among whom 15 had mild to moderate liver fibrosis. A total of 16 mutations were detected in the PHKA2 gene, among which 5 were known pathogenic mutations and 11 were novel mutations, and most of the mutations were detected in the c.3614 locus. All patients were treated with uncooked cornstarch, and most patients achieved an improvement in clinical manifestations. ConclusionGSD Ⅸa is more common in male patients. This disease should be considered for patients with hepatomegaly, elevated aminotransferases, growth retardation, fasting hypoglycemia, elevated fasting blood ketone, and normal uric acid. Liver biopsy may help with the diagnosis of this disease, and clinical biochemical parameters and gene detection can be used to confirm diagnosis and classification. Most patients have mild clinical manifestations, while some patients may have liver fibrosis, and treatment with uncooked cornstarch can improve the condition of this disease.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive inflammatory liver disease, and the incidence rate of pediatric AIH is gradually increasing in recent years. AIH can be classified into AIH-1 (with positive antinuclear antibody and/or smooth muscle antibody and/or anti-soluble liver antigen antibody) and AIH-2 (with positive liver-kidney microsomal type 1 antibody and/or anti-liver cytosol type 1 antibody), among which AIH-2 is mainly seen in children. Positive autoantibodies are rare in healthy children, and thus the requirements for autoantibody titer in the diagnosis of pediatric AIH are lower than the criteria for adults. Pediatric AIH progresses more rapidly than adult AIH, and treatment should be started immediately after confirmed diagnosis. Scoring systems for the diagnosis of AIH in adults are not applicable to pediatric patients and cannot be used to differentiate AIH from autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis.

Liver diseases significantly affect human health. Classic research models cannot maintain hepatocyte polarity for a long time and have a different genetic background from normal human hepatocytes, which limits the research on the physiological functions of hepatocytes and the mechanisms of related diseases. The latest liver organoid technology can obtain liver organoids with partial liver structure by reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells or in vitro culture of liver biopsy tissue and maintain long-term proliferation and genetic stability, and therefore, it is expected to become a powerful tool for disease modelling, drug screening, and cell therapy. This article mainly reviews the research and application of liver organoids in recent years.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of nasotracheal intubation for airway management in neonates with Pierre Robin sequence undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. Methods Sixty full-term neonates of both sexes with Pierre Robin Sequence, aged 2-28 days, weighing 2. 4-3. 8 kg, scheduled for elective mandibular distraction osteogenesis, were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random num-ber table method: nasotracheal intubation group (group N) and orotracheal intubation group (group O). Combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was used during surgery. The success rate of intubation, intu-bation time, heart rate, mean arterial pressure and SpO2 during intubation, and occurrence of complica-tions during intubation were recorded, and the time of extubation and occurrence of complications after extu-bation were also recorded. Results Compared with group O, the intubation time was significantly short-ened, the first-time intubation success rate was increased, the heart rate and mean arterial pressure were decreased at 2 min after intubation, the lowest SpO2 was increased during intubation, and the incidence of pharyngeal soft tissue injury during intubation and hoarseness after extubation was decreased in group N ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion Nasotracheal intubation can be used for airway management in neonates with Pierre Robin sequence undergoing surgery under general anesthesia, and the efficacy is superior to that of orotra-cheal intubation.

Objective@#To explore the relationship between genotype and phenotype of ABCB11 deficiency.@*Methods@#Clinical data of two siblings with ABCB11 deficiency were retrospectively analyzed. Related literature from PubMed, CNKI and Wangfang databases was reviewed to date (up to August 2017) with 'ABCB11 gene’ or 'bile salt export pump’, 'cholestasis’ and 'child’ as key words.@*Results@#The patients were siblings. Both of them presented as jaundice, pruritus and hepatosplenomegaly since 3 days after birth. Significant laboratory findings on admission of the older sister included high total bilirubin, 170 µmol/L;conjugated bilirubin, 115.8 µmol/L;alanine aminotransferase, 168 U/L;total bile acid 186.3 µmol/L and normal gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. While routine laboratory data of the younger brother were as follows: total bilirubin, 148.8 µmol/L;conjugated bilirubin, 96.3 µmol/L;alanine aminotransferase, 232.8 U/L;total bile acid 226 µmol/L, and normal gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase.Both received ursodeoxycholic acid and fat-soluble vitamins. Liver pathology of the younger brother showed giant hepatocytes with ballooning degeneration, focal necrosis and intrahepatic cholestasis. Both the patients harbor the same compound heterozygous mutations in ABCB11 gene, c.145C>T (p.Q49X) and c.1510G>A (p.E504K). The sister is 9 years old now, with normal liver function. Jaundice faded around 3 months after birth, pruritus relieved at age 5, and medications was stopped since then. The brother progressed to liver failure after an operation on perianal abscess when he was 8-month-old, and received living-related liver transplantation when he was 9 month and 20 days old (from his mother). Now he is 1 year and 5 months old, with normal liver function. Both are under our follow-up. Literature review revealed 18 ABCB11 deficiency patients from 7 families who had apparent different prognoses, within each family the siblings had the same ABCB11 gene mutation. Seven cases relieved after ursodeoxycholic acid therapy and/or partial external biliary diversion, 5 received orthotopic liver transplantation, 2 developed hepatocellular carcinoma and 4 cases died in childhood.@*Conclusions@#The clinical manifestations of ABCB11 deficiency may vary greatly in patients carrying the same genotype, even in siblings. Patients should be managed in individualized maner.

Objective@#To summarize and review the clinical and genetic features of neonatal sclerosing cholangitis (NSC) caused by DCDC2 variations.@*Methods@#Whole exome sequencing was performed to identify DCDC2 variants in two Chinese siblings with NSC who were diagnosed in Children's Hospital of Fudan University in May 2017. Clinical, laboratory and genetic data of the two cases were summarized. Key words of "DCDC2" "neonatal sclerosing cholangitis" were searched in Chinese databases and PubMed for articles published until April 2018, and all the relevant literature were reviewed.@*Results@#Patient 1 was a 3-year-and-2-month-old boy. He was admitted to our hospital due to cholestasis for 3 years. Laboratory findings showed elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (161-1 092 U/L) and total cholesterol (5.4-7.7 mmol/L). Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed multiple dilations of intrahepatic bile ducts and bilateral hydronephrosis. Patient 2, the older brother of patient 1, was a 9-year-and-9-month-old boy. He was admitted to our hospital due to "cholestasis for 9 years" . CT angiography showed hydrocephalus and left internal carotid artery aneurysms with vascular malformations. A homozygous variant c.529dupA (NM_001195610) in DCDC2 gene was identified in patient 1 by whole exome sequencing. Patient 2 was a homozygote and his parents were heterozygotes with the variation. There has been 2 relevant articles published (Chinese 0, English 2), which reported 11 cases of DCDC2-related NSC in total. All the 13 patients, including the 2 cases reported here, had an onset of symptoms at 0 to 6 months of age. The most common clinical manifestation was cholestasis with high gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase levels, acholic stool, and progression to portal hypertension. Renal and neurological abnormalities were also frequently present. Hypercholesterolemia was observed in one case. Radiological findings revealed the characteristic strictures and dilatations of the intrahepatic and (or) extrahepatic biliary tree. Liver histological examination showed peripheral ductopenia, ductal plate malformation, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Among the 13 patients, 10 patients required liver transplantation. A total of 7 types of DCDC2 variants were detected in 13 patients.@*Conclusions@#DCDC2-related NSC is characterized by the onset of cholestasis with high gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase level and acholic stool in early infancy, which was likely to progress to cirrhosis in early childhood. Renal and neurological abnormalities are also frequently present.Cholangiography or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography show strictures and dilatations of the intrahepatic or (and) extrahepatic biliary tree. Identification of pathogenic DCDC2 variants would aid the diagnosis of NSC.

The advancement and popularization of molecular diagnostic techniques has challenged and redefined the traditional concept of genetic metabolic disease. Regardless of disease origin, all genetic defects that lead to hepatobiliary dysfunction or structural abnormalities are termed as genetic liver disorders. Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) is a database consisting 693 genetic diseases with clear molecular mechanism of liver related phenotypes. Moreover, the effective measures to control infectious liver disease have strengthened the importance of research in the field of (adult and children) genetic liver disorders at home and abroad by well-recognized hepatologists. Notably, all patients with unexplained hepatopathy and multiple system diseases involving liver and gallbladder needs screening for genetic liver disorders, except for factors such as infection, immunity, drug-related, and anatomical abnormalities. We hope more patients with complicated liver disorders will benefit from definitive diagnosis and effective treatment in the near future with clear explanation of clinical phenotype, genotype, and metabolomics.

Hereditary intrahepatic cholestasis is an important cause of death or disability in childhood. With the development of molecular medicine,a series of familial intrahepatic cholestasis caused by gene mutations (ATP8B1 deficiency,ABCB11 deficiency,ABCB4 deficiency,TJP2 deficiency,NR1H4 deficiency and MYO5B deficiency)have been discovered successively. If these patients do not receive early intervention,they often develop liver cirrhosis and liver failure in childhood. Therefore,early diagnosis and intervention are very important for improving prognosis.

The aim of this study was to systematically review the efficacy and safety of iodine-125 brachytherapy combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced lung cancer. PubMed, MEDLINE, EBSCO, FMJS and Web of Science were searched to obtain randomized controlled trials [RCTs], published in English and Chinese, until February 2016. The evaluating indicators were complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease [SD], progressive disease [PD], overall response rate [ORR], disease control rate [DCR], one-year overall survival, two-year overall survival and adverse events. Revman 5.2 software was used for data syntheses and analyses. A total of 296 patients enrolled in 5 RCTs were ultimately included in this study based on our selection criteria, and 150 patients received chemotherapy alone, while another 146 patients received the combination therapy of iodine-125 brachytherapy and chemotherapy. The results showed that iodine-125 brachytherapy combined with chemotherapy was superior to chemotherapy alone in CR [risk ratio [RR] = 3.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.08 to 6.44, p<0.001], PR [RR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.16 to 1.86, p=0.001], ORR [RR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.54 to 2.22, p<0.001], DCR [RR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.29, p<0.001], one-year overall survival [RR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.92, p=0.006] and PD [RR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.43, p<0.001]; meanwhile, there was no significant difference in two-year overall survival [RR = 1.30, 95% CI: 0.72 to 2.37, p=0.39]. In terms of adverse events, the combination therapy significantly increased the incidence of pneumothorax [RR = 4.93, 95% CI: 1.94 to 12.55, p=<0.001]; however, no significant differences were found in the incidence of other adverse events. This study indicated that the combination therapy of iodine-125 brachytherapy and chemotherapy could improve the therapeutic efficacy of advanced lung cancer without increasing the incidence of adverse events, except pneumothorax
