Discussion Ciprofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones have demonstrated cartilage and joint toxicity when administered to immature laboratory animals. Therefore health care providers have been reluctant to use fluoroquinolones in young children and voluntarily have avoided them. However in 2002, more than 182,000 courses of fluoroquinolones were administered to children. Research data is limited but the pediatric safety profile appears to be similar to the adult safety profile. Current indications for fluoroquinolones include complicated urinary tract infections, treatment of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised pat...

Maternal Uniparental Disomy 14 Syndrome Demonstrates Prader-Willi Syndrome-Like PhenotypeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Upd(14)mat and epimutation of 14q32.2 represent clinically discernible phenotypes and should be designated “upd(14)mat syndrome.” This syndrome demonstrates a PWS-like phenotype particularly during infancy. The MEG3 methylation test can detect upd(14)mat syndrome defects and should therefore be performed for all undiagnosed infants with hypotonia.

[Usefulness of a rapid serum interleukin-6 test combined with C-reactive protein to predict sepsis in newborns with suspicion of infection.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of IL-6 could allow withholding or early discontinuation of antibiotics in newborns with IL-6<54pg/ml. In cases with IL-6>96pg/ml and/or IL-6>53+ CRP>13.3, antibiotics should be started promptly, given the high likelihood of infection. Implementation of an algorithm based on the determination of IL-6 and CRP, in the initial assessment of the newborn with clinical suspicion of infection, could reduce unnecessary antibiotic therapy.

Fetal programming of infant neuromotor development. The Generation R Study.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study was embedded within the Generation R Study, a population-based cohort in Rotterdam. In 2,965 fetuses, growth parameters were measured in mid- and late pregnancy. After birth, at age 9 to 15 weeks, neuromotor development was assessed with an adapted version of Touwen's Neurodevelopmental Examination. Less optimal neuromotor development was defined as a score in the highest tertile. We found that higher fetal weight was beneficial to infant neurodevelopment. A fetus with a one standard deviation (SD) score higher weight in mid-pregnancy had an 11% lower risk of less optimal neuromotor development (OR 0.89, 95%CI 0...

A model for educational simulation of hemodynamic transitions at birth.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Birth is characterized by swift and complex transitions in hemodynamic and respiratory variables. Unrecognized pathologies or incidents may quickly become fatal or cause permanent damage. This paper introduces an essential component of an acute perinatal care simulator, namely a model for educational simulation of normal hemodynamic transitions seen during and shortly after birth. We explicitly formulate educational objectives and adapt a pre-existing model for the simulation of neonatal cardiovascular physiology to include essential aspects of fetal hemodynamics. From the scientific literature, we obtain model paramet...

ATPase Class I Type 8B Member 1 and Protein Kinase C-zeta Induce the Expression of the Canalicular Bile Salt Export Pump in Human Hepatocytes.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The exact molecular mechanism(s) of the disease that results from defects in the ATPase Class I Type 8B Member 1 gene remains controversial. Prior investigations of human ileum and in intestinal and ovarian cell lines have suggested that Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis 1 (FIC1) activates the Farnesoid X-Receptor (FXR) via a pathway involving Protein Kinase C zeta (PKCzeta). Translational investigations of human liver from individuals with FIC1 disease have been confounded by secondary affects of progressive cholestatic liver disease and limited numbers of samples for analysis. These studies, performed in primarily de...

In Vivo Dilatation of the Ductus Arteriosus Induced by Furosemide in the Rat.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Furosemide increases prostaglandin production and may be associated with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). We aimed to clarify the in vivo ductus-dilating effects of furosemide in neonatal rats. Near-term rat pups delivered via a cesarean section were housed at 33 degrees C. After rapid whole-body freezing, the DA diameter was measured using a microscope and a micrometer. Pregnant rats (gestational day 21) were subcutaneously injected with furosemide 4 h before delivery, and the neonatal DA was examined 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after birth. Furosemide was also subcutaneously injected into 60-min-old rats and the DA dia...

Hyperoxia Exposure Alters Hepatic Eicosanoid Metabolism in Newborn Mice.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Prematurely born infants are often treated with supraphysiologic amounts of oxygen, which is associated with lung injury and the development of diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Complimentary responses between the lung and liver during the course of hyperoxic lung injury have been studied in adult animals, but little is known about this relationship in neonates. These studies tested the hypothesis that oxidant stress occurs in the livers of newborn mice in response to continuous hyperoxia exposure. Greater levels of glutathione disulfide and nitrotyrosine were detected in lung tissues but not liver tissues f...

Relationship of Proximal Renal Tubular Dysgenesis and Fetal Liver Injury in Neonatal Hemochromatosis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Renal tubular dysgenesis has been reported in isolated cases of Neonatal Hemochromatosis (NH). We hypothesized that fetal liver injury in NH impairs proximal renal tubular development via impaired hepatic angiotensinogen elaboration. Morphometric analyses were performed of post-mortem liver and kidney sections of cases of proven NH and post-conception age matched controls for renal proximal tubule density, hepatocyte mass and hepatic angiotensinogen expression. Proximal tubule density was markedly reduced in NH cases though they showed a spectrum from mild to severe paucity. Hepatic angiotensinogen expression was marke...

Thioredoxin Binding Protein-2 Inhibits Excessive Fetal Hypoglycemia During Maternal Starvation by Suppressing Insulin Secretion in Mice.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Glucose is a major fuel for fetal development. Fetal blood glucose level is mainly dependent on maternal blood glucose concentration, though it is also regulated by fetal insulin level. Thioredoxin binding protein-2 (TBP-2), which is identical to vitamin D3 up-regulated protein (VDUP1) and thioredoxin interacting protein (Txnip), was recently reported to be a key transcriptional factor controlling glucose metabolism. Here, we elucidated the functions of TBP-2 in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis during the fetal period. TBP-2 female mice were mated with TBP-2 male mice; beginning 16.5 days post coitum, pregnant mic...

Urotensin-II contributes to pulmonary vasoconstriction in a perinatal model of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn secondary to meconium aspiration syndrome.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) disrupts perinatal decreases in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and is the commonest cause of neonatal pulmonary hypertension. The contribution of the potent vasoactive agent urotensin-II (U-II), in the pathophysiology of this condition, is unknown. In a new perinatal model of MAS, we combined measurement of circulating U-II levels with U-II receptor blockade studies. Nineteen anesthetised lambs were instrumented then randomly allocated to the following groups: 1) control (n=5), 2) control plus specific U-II receptor blockade with palosuran (n=5), 3) tracheal instillation of mecon...

Majority of dietary glutamine is utilized in first pass in preterm infants.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid for very-low-birth weight infants by virtue of its ability to play an important role in several key metabolic processes of immune cells and enterocytes. Although glutamine is known to be utilized to a great extend, the exact splanchnic metabolism in enterally fed preterm infants is unknown. We hypothesized that preterm infants show a high splanchnic first-pass glutamine metabolism and the primary metabolic fate of glutamine is oxidation. Five preterm infants (mean +/- SD birth weight 1.07 kg +/- 0.22, gestational age 29 wk +/- 2) were studied by dual tracer ([U-C]glutam...
