ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effect of the endoscopic selective varices devascularization (ESVD) for the esophageal gastric varices bleeding (EGVB) in children. Methods: The clinical data of the patients diagnosed with EGVB and treated with ESVD from January 2018 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The effects, safety and complications of ESVD were evaluated. Results: There were five patients (including 2 males and 3 females, age ranged from 4 to 7 years) in the study. No rebleeding was found at the first follow-up on one week post operation. Three patients were treated with the endo-therapy at the twice follow-up (3 months after surgery): 2 patients had ESVD again and 1 patient had resection under endoscopy due to stenosis caused by surgical scar. After the second procedure, there was no rebleeding but one patient had abdominal pain caused by mesenteric thrombosis, cured with low molecular weight heparin. Conclusion: The ESVD for EGVB is safe and effective, but the long-term curative effect should be further studied.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To summarize the clinical data including manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 71 patients with pathologically proven EGE at Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2008 to January 2017. Their clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, endoscopic findings, histopathological examinations, and treatment were collected and analyzed. Results: Among 71 EGE cases, 47 (66%) cases were male and 24 (34%) cases were female, and the median age was 9.2 (0.2-16.5) years old. The main clinical manifestations included abdominal pain (76%, 54/71), vomiting (68%, 48/71), anorexia (54%, 38/71), weight loss (38%, 27/71), and diarrhea (37%, 26/71). There were 27 cases (38%) with a history of allergic diseases or family history. The median absolute value of eosinophil in peripheral blood of the 71 patients was 0.4 (0-36.8)×10(9)/L, and 27 cases (38%) showed an increase in eosinophil counts. Serum IgE was measured in 52 patients (104.3 (3.4- 3 000.0)×10(3) U/L), and 30 patients (58%) showed an increase in serum IgE. A large number of eosinophils ((41.0±8.5)/HP) were found in 3 patients' ascites. The endoscopic examination of upper gastrointestinal tract revealed hyperemic edema in 62 cases (87%), plaque in 44 cases (62%), erosion in 17 cases (24%) and ulceration in 16 cases (23%). Histopathologically, in 8 cases (11%) the disease involved both stomach and duodeneum, in 21 cases (30%) involved stomach only, and in 37 cases (52%) involved duodeneum only. In addition, in 6 cases (8%) the disease involved esophagus and in 10 cases (14%) involved colorectum. Microscopically, eosinophil counts averaged 67/HP, 33/HP, 40/HP and 38/HP in esophageal, gastric, duodenal and colorectal mucosa respectively. A total of 34 cases were treated with glucocorticoid, and all these patients had alleviation of symptoms, which occurred within 14.9 days on average, but EGE recurred in 11 cases (32%). Conclusions: The clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings of EGE are diverse and nonspecific. Histopathological examination of gastrointestinal mucosa is particularly important for the diagnosis. Glucocorticoid treatment is effective, but the patients with EGE are prone to relapse.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of intestinal lymphangiectasia (IL) in children in order to improve the skills of diagnosis and treatment of IL. Method: Clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, gastroscopic findings, histopathological examinations and lymphatic radionuclide imaging assessments were analyzed retrospectively among 47 IL patients who were hospitalized in the Gastroenterology Department of Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from June 2007 to December 2015. All patients were followed up by telephone. According to the various causes, the patients were divided into the primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) group and secondary IL group, and their clinical manifestations were compared by t test, Rank sum test or Chi-square test. Result: In 47 IL patients, there were 38 children (81%) younger than 3 years old. There were 43 PIL patients (91%) and 4 secondary IL patients (9%). Between PIL and secondary IL, there were statistical differences in serum albumin (t=-3.950, P<0.005) , globulin(t=-2.850, P=0.007), age of onset(U=27.000, P=0.024), age at diagnosis(U=29.000, P=0.030) and course of disease(U=26.500, P=0.023), whereas there were no statistical differences in lymphocyte count, IgG, lymphatic radionuclide imaging, histopathology and gender(all P>0.05). Edema (44 cases, 94%), diarrhea (42 cases, 89%), accompanied with infection (35 cases, 74%) and ascites (30 cases, 64%) were the main clinical manifestations. In 47 IL patients, 45 patients were done gastroscopy and histopathological examinations, and there were 31 patients' histopathological examinations(69%) were positive. Forty patients were done lymphatic radionuclide imaging, and there was evidence of protein losing from gut via lymphatic radionuclide imaging in 39 patients(98%). Among 47 patients, 35 patients (74%) were followed up, 32 patients had good prognosis, 2 patient failed to show evidence of improvement, 1 patient died and no patient experienced a relapse till the end of the follow-up. In 35 patients, 28 patients were treated with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) dietary therapy, 26 patients showed improvement in symptoms, and 2 patients had no improvement. Among 35 patients with follow-up, there were 6 patients received surgical treatment, and their symptoms were improved. Conclusion: PIL are the majority of IL in children younger than 3 years old. The main clinical manifestations are edema, diarrhea, accompanied with infection and ascites. For the patients without the evidence of lymphangiectasia from duodenum histopathological examination, further consideration of lymphatic radionuclide imaging, clinical manifestations, and laboratory studies are needed to make a final diagnosis. MCT dietary therapy is the cornerstone of IL medical management.
