ABSTRACT
Objective To study emptying of gallbladder in children with functional dyspepsia(FD),and to investigate correlation of their helicobacter pylori(Hp) status and gallbladder emptying rate.Methods Sixty children with FD were studied,including 30 Hp-ne-(gative) and 30 Hp-positive children.Thirty Hp-positive children received triple eradication therapy 1 week.After 4 weeks,the Hp tests were taken again,27 children became Hp-negative,and the others were still positive eliminated from the study.The difference between the above groups in gallbladder volumes before breakfast and postprandial gallbladder emptying rate were compared.Results The gallbladder volumes before breakfast were bigger and the emptying rate of postprandial gallbladder of children with FD were lower than those of normal controls(P0.05).Conclusions Delayed emptying of gallbladder may cause FD in children.Hp infection isn′t associated with the gallbladder emptying rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the gastroscopic and pathohistologic mucosal changes in children′s chronic gastritis and to improve the diagnosis of the chronic gastritis in children.Methods Two thousand four hundred and forty children with upper-abdominal symptoms who were examined by gastroscopic observation were collected,and samples of gastric mucosa were examined by the same pathohistologist.And then the pathohistologic changes were analysed.Results All the 2440 children had different mucosal inflammation confirmed by gastroscope,and the pathologic results show that there were 2132 cases of chronic superficial gastritis(90.03%) and 76 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis(3.21%).Among 2440 cases,80 cases with intestinal metaplasia(3.37%),972 cases with lymphoid follicles(41.05%),409 cases with active inflammation(17.28%),902 cases with helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection(38.09%).Moderate and severe inflammatory were more predominant in patients with Hp infection,especially with lymphoid follicles or active gastritis,and the percentage of them were 50.79%,68.73%,73.53%,respectively.Conclusions Major chornic gastritis in children are chronic superficial gastritis,and the pathohistological changes are different from the adults.It also shows that there is a close relationship between gastric mucosal inflammation and Hp.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical feature of fibercolonscopy in children.Methods Olympus PCF-20 and Olympus(PSD-20) were used for all examinations and treatments after bowel preparation and anesthesia.Pathological change was observed,then took pictures,and biopsy was done.Intestine polyps underwent electrocision.Results Fibercoloscopy was performed on 243 children(male 177,female 66).Age ranged from 1 to 18 years,with an average of 6.74 years.The cecum was reached in 232 of 243 cases.Abnormal findings were seen in 116(47.74%) of the cases.There were large intestine polyps in 87(35.80%) cases.All cases underwent electrocision.One hundred and fifty-seven polyps were removed with satisfactory results.Conclusion Fibercoloscopy is effective and safe in diagnosis and treatment in children with intestine diseases.
