Background & AimsMother-to-infant transmission is the major cause of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among immunized children. There has been much debate about screening pregnant women and administering immunoglobulin (HBIG) to newborns. We analyzed rate HBV children born surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive mothers whether HBIG administration reduces transmission.MethodsWe data from 2356 HBsAg-positive mothers, identified through prenatal maternal screens. In addition vaccines, was given all...
ABSTRACT Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) α-glucosidase inhibitors, which block the trimming step of N-linked glycosylation, have been shown to eliminate production several ER-budding viruses. Here we investigated effects one such inhibitor, N -nonyl-deoxynojirimycin ( N-DNJ), a 9-carbon alkyl iminosugar derivative, on infection by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and dengue serotype 2 (DEN-2). In presence N-DNJ, JEV DEN-2 infections were suppressed in dose-dependent manner. This inhibitory...
To investigate the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in pediatric fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) after launch universal HBV vaccination, authors analyzed data from patients with FHF collected a nationwide collaborative study group. Children aged 1 month to 15 years who were diagnosed (62 males and 33 females) between 1985-1999 included. (hepatitis surface antigen [HBsAg] and/or immunoglobulin M core antibody [IgM anti-HBc] seropositive) accounted for 46% (43 95 cases) all cases FHF....
The poor ionic conductivity and interfacial instability severely limit the application of polyethylene oxide (PEO)‐based polymer electrolytes. In this work, we introduce a multifunctional molecular modulated strategy using coumarin, which simultaneously boosts stability PEO‐coumarin (PLC) membrane. Unlike conventional additives that diminish PEO’s crystallinity, with its higher Li+ adsorption energy stronger dipole moments, acts as novel ‘carrier’ for without compromising mechanical...

To describe the epidemiological characteristics of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in ethnic Chinese children.We reviewed National Health Insurance claims database and analyzed data from children less than one year age who had been diagnosed with IHPS (ICD-9-CM 750.5) undergone pyloromyotomy 43.3). We incidence, gender, at diagnosis, length hospital stay, seasonal variation cost collected between January 1997 December 2007.A total 1,077 infants met inclusion criteria,...
Asthma is recognized throughout the world as a chronic airway inflammatory disease. In this study, we investigated effect of probiotics in response to antigen challenge an ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized asthma model BALB/c mice. Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 was orally administered mice before challenge. After challenge, serum OVA-specific antibody levels, responsiveness methacholine, influx cells lung, and cytokine levels bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid splenocytes were assessed. Oral...

Gastric adenocarcinoma is quite rare in children and as a result very little experience has been reported on with regards to clinical presentation, treatment outcome.We describe the case of 16-year-old boy presenting abdominal fullness poor appetite for 7 d.Sonography showed massive ascites computed tomography imaging revealed presence gastric mucosa thickness omentum caking.The diagnosis was biopsyproven endoscopically.Despite being pediatric patient population, we should not overlook...
A composite polymer/ceramic/composite polymer sandwiched electrolyte (CPCCPE) is proposed in this article, allowing fluent lithium-ion transport across the interface and improving solid-solid interfacial contact.
Abstract Aim: To investigate the factors affecting outcome of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) in children relation to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods: Retrospective review a total 94 cases (61 males and 33 females, aged from 1 month 15 years) recruited nine tertiary referral centers Taiwan 1985 1999. Results: The overall mortality rate was 75%. Patients group were an older age, had higher peak bilirubin levels, longer prothrombin time, lower percentage HBV positivity ( P <...
Misfolding and amyloid fibrillogenesis of proteins have close relationships with several neurodegenerative diseases. The present work investigates the inhibitive activities ankaflavin (AK) monascin (MS), two yellow pigments separated from
Background and Objectives: Drug-induced esophageal ulcer is caused by focal drug stimulation. It may occur in adults children. Limited research available pediatric patients with drug-induced ulcer; therefore, we designed this study to determine the characteristics of disease population. Materials Methods: Thirty-two diagnosed ulcers from a hospital database upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopies were included. After treatment, followed for 2 months after endoscopy. Results: Female...
Background: Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease. The incidence of estimated between 1/10,000 and 1/20,000 in Taiwan. Case report: This report describes case 42 day old female infant who suffered from prolonged jaundice, poor weight gain, anemia. initial total/direct bilirubin levels were 8.1/3.11 mg/dL. Liver biopsy was performed at 47 days old. pathology revealed lobules marked with macrovesicular microvesicular fatty...
Ingestion of alkaline substances should not be disregarded because a small amount can cause chemical burns in the esophagus, with esophageal stricture being most common late complication. We enrolled children corrosive damage receiving treatment at China Medical University Children's Hospital's emergency department between 2008 and 2018. Patients were divided into groups A (ingested causative agents other than oil), B oil). Altogether, 40 (27 [67.5%] male 13 [32.5%] female) patients aged 7...
Colonic polyps are a common cause of persistent bloody stools in pediatric patients. Such easily diagnosed by barium study the lower gastrointestinal tract or colonoscopy. Polypectomies utilizing electric ligators generally performed on patients, and such patients can be operated on. However, giant colonic have been reported In past, laparotomy laparoscopy would some with polyp; however, large size, location, position polyp sometimes too location make successful operation difficult. general,...
