摘要:
In an attempt to define endoscopic and histologic changes suggestive of upper gastrointestinal Crohn's disease (CD), the medical histories, endoscopic reports, and biopsies were reviewed from 24 pediatric patients with CD and 28 age-matched patients without CD in whom esophagogastroduodenoscopies were performed because of upper GI symptoms. No differences in the overall frequency of endoscopic abnormalities were found between the two groups. However, gastric erosions and ulcerations were more frequent in CD patients. Histological abnormalities in the stomach and duodenum were also more frequent in CD patients. Noncaseating granulomas were found in five patients with CD and in one patient without clinical, radiologic, or endoscopic evidence of CD. Focal inflammation in the stomach and duodenum occurred more frequently in CD patients. Two patients with CD had focal and deep chronic inflammatory infiltrates in the esophagus, which reached the submucosa. Abnormal histology was often seen in CD patients with normal endoscopic appearances. We conclude that superficial ulcerations seen during endoscopy and the histological finding of focal inflammation may represent upper GI CD in pediatric patients. Histological changes can be missed if biopsies are not taken from normal-appearing mucosa during endoscopy.

摘要:
In an effort to increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of chronic protracted diarrhea in infants, we examined 44 jejunal mucosal specimens. Only 3 of the 44 specimens showed a normal mucosa (grade 1). Partial villous atrophy was seen in 17 mucosal specimens (grade 2) with marked patchiness in all of the specimens. Subtotal or total villous atrophy (grade 3) was found in the remaining 24 mucosal biopsies. Plasma cells and macrophages were variably increased and intraepithelial lymphocytes were moderately increased in grades 2 and 3. Eight of ten mucosal biopsy specimens embedded in plastic material and cut at 1–2-mm thickness, showed bacteria of unidentified nature, situated either above the microvillous layer or on the mucosal surface. Both adherent and nonadherent bacteria could be identified in the same specimen. We concluded that severe pathological mucosal changes are common in young infants with protracted diarrhea and that the presence of bacteria may be more common than has previously been documented.

摘要:
Our electron microscopic study of biopsies taken from 10 infants with protracted diarrhea was conducted in an effort to determine the pathogenesis of the disorder. In this article, the ultrastructure of the jejunal mucosa of the infants is described in relation to overlying or adherent bacteria of unidentified type. In addition to the known changes on the enterocyte surface caused by adherent bacteria (cupping and effacement), other cytopathic changes, not previously reported, are documented. Included are widespread loss of enterocytes, including intraepithelial lymphocytes, into the bowel lumen; cyto-pathological changes within the enterocytes: and marked thickening of the basal laminae of the enterocytes and the endothelium of lamina propria blood vessels. In addition. we noted deposition of collagen fibrils in the lamina propria below the basal laminae, active phagolysis within macrophages, and lack of cisternal material (immunoglobulin) in the plasma-cell cytoplasm. Although these changes are nonspecific, they may be related in part to the presence of the nonadhering and adhering bacteria, and their identification may further our understanding of the “sick mucosa” that occurs in chronic diarrhea of infancy.

摘要:
Forty-five duodenal biopsies from 33 children and 3 adult patients were maintained in organ culture for 24 h and exposed to various cow's milk proteins and gluten. In 10 of 11 celiac patients with a flat duodenal mu-cosa, and in 2 of 4 patients with partial villous atrophy, a significant reduction in the mean enterocyte height was found after in vitro gluten exposure, compared to culture in basic culture medium. Three patients had coexisting celiac disease and cow's milk protein intolerance. α-Lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin exhibited toxic effects on flat biopsies from two of these patients, and casein was toxic in one. In 10 patients with cow's milk protein intolerance, a significant reduction in enterocyte height was noted in one case with gluten, and in three patients with casein and lactoglobulin, whereas lactalbumin did not affect the tissues. In seven control patients having a normal duodenal mucosa, no in vitro influences were noted, whereas in four patients with partial villous atrophy, a toxic reaction to gluten was seen in one and a reduced enterocyte height was seen after lactoglobulin exposure in another. In vitro toxicity induced by gluten corresponded well with the diagnosis of celiac disease, whereas toxic reactions to cow's milk proteins during organ culture were inconsistent in cow's milk intolerance, except for cases in which a marked enteropathy was documented.

摘要:
A study was performed to determine whether the age-related prevalence of lactose maldigestion is increased in healthy institutionalized children. Previous malnutrition did not exclude children from study. The control children had no prior history of malnutrition or hospital admissions for diarrhea. The anthropometric comparison showed the institutionalized children to be shorter and lighter than the controls, but they were of normal weight by stature, suggesting a normal recent nutritional state. Fasting breath hydrogen tests were performed following an oral dose of lactose 1 g/kg, given as a 10% solution. A rise of breath hydrogen of ≥=20 ppm was considered to indicate lactose maldigestion. Twenty-two of 44 controls and 39 of 49 study children were lactose maldigesters (p< 0.01). The control children showed an age-related increase in the prevalence of lactose maldigestion, from 31.6% at agep= 0.002). Equally high prevalence rates were found at all ages tested. At follow-up, lactose maldigestion was persistent in the majority of the study children. This had no nutritional impact despite a regular milk intake. The distinction between acquired and primary lactose maldigestion is of no practical significance in these children.

摘要:
The work reported here was carried out to study the importance of immunocytochemical staining of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in the diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease and to compare its results with those obtained by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining in consecutive sections. A retrospective study was made on 51 rectal mucosal biopsies and 19 colorectal surgical specimens from 52 patients clinically suspected of Hirschsprung's disease. Several consecutive sections from all cases were restained by H&E and for NSE demonstration. Sixteen (31%) patients had a histological diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease, 9 (17%) had hypoganglionosis, 4 (8%) had neuronal intestinal dysplasia, and 2 (4%) had normal histology. In eight patients (15%) hypoganglionosis remained dubious, and in 10 (19%) the diagnosis was inconclusive. Although the NSE staining improved the identification of the nervous tissue of the colon, both H&E and NSE staining proved to be of equal value in the assessment of the presence of neurons in the rectal wall of people with clinically suspected cases of Hirschsprung's disease. Ten H&E-stained sections from different levels of the biopsy specimen would be enough to detect ganglion cells in most cases.

摘要:
Twelve patients with chronic constipation refractory to the vigorous use of emollients, enemas, and/or laxatives were chosen for study of the investigational prokinetic agent, Cisapride. The patients included 8 boys and 4 girls with diagnoses of functional constipation. Ages ranged from 2 to 13 years; duration of symptoms before Cisapride use ranged from 1.5 to 9.75 years; duration of previous treatment ranged from 0.75 to 6 years. The mean number of doses of anticonstipation agents employed per week was 14. Of the 12 patients, 10 had persistent encopresis, while 11 required hospitalization for disimpaction an average of 1.6 times in the year prior to Cisapride use. Three had chronic urinary tract complaints. Anal manometry suggested a sensory deficit in 8 of 10 patients tested. Ganglion cells were identified by rectal biopsy in all 12 patients. Cisapride treatment (0.14–0.3 mg/kg/dose) spanned 26–72 weeks (61 ± 12). Stool frequency per week was not significantly changed, but five of seven patients who had reported hard stools had softer stools on the drug (p< 0.05). Encopresis ceased in 8 of 10 cases, while the number of episodes decreased substantially in the other 2 cases (p< 0.05). All alternate forms of anticonstipation therapy were withdrawn in 8 of 12 cases (p< 0.0001). Urinary problems improved in two of the three patients reporting symptoms. One patient showed no improvement in any parameter while on the agent, despite 26 weeks of administration. Side effects were infrequent, generally occurred early, and were limited to cramping, nausea, mild vomiting, anorexia, and headaches. One patient ceased use of the drug for persistent headaches. This open trial suggests the need for a controlled study of the drug Cisapride for the indication of unremitting constipation and encopresis in childhood.
