Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) is a highly prevalent, serious and chronic infection that has been associated causally with a diverse spectrum of extragastric disorders including iron deficiency anemia, chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, growth retardation, and diabetes mellitus. The inverse relation of H. pylori prevalence and the increase in allergies, as reported from epidemiological studies, has stimulated research for elucidating potential underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Although H. pylori is most frequently acquired during childhood in both developed and developing countries, clinicians are less familiar with the pediatric literature in the field. A better understanding of the H. pylori disease spectrum in childhood should lead to clearer recommendations about testing for and treating H. pylori infection in children who are more likely to develop clinical sequelae. A further clinical challenge is whether the progressive decrease of H. pylori in thelast decades, abetted by modern clinical practices, may have other health consequences.

AIM:To investigate the potential association of circulating zonulin with the stage of liver disease in obese children with biopsy-confirmed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS:A case-control study was performed.Cases were 40 obese children with NAFLD.The diagnosis of NAFLD was based on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)with high hepatic fat fraction(HFF≥5%),and confirmed by liver biopsy with≥5%of hepatocytes containing macrovesicular fat.Controls were selected from obese children with normal levels of aminotransferases,and without MRI evidence of fatty liver as well as of other causes of chronic liver diseases.Controls were matched(1-to 1)with the cases on age,gender,pubertal stage and as closely as possible on body mass index-standard deviation score.All participants underwent clinical examination,laboratory testsincluding zonulin,inflammatory and metabolic parameters,and MRI for measurement of HFF and visceral adipose tissue.RESULTS:Zonulin values were significantly greater in obese subjects with NAFLD than in those without NAFLD[median(interquartile range),4.23(3.18-5.89)vs 3.31(2.05-4.63),P<0.01].In patients with NAFLD,zonulin concentrations increased significantly with the severity of steatosis and the Spearman’s coefficient revealed a positive correlation between zonulin values and steatosis(r=0.372,P<0.05);however,we did not find a significant correlation between zonulin and lobular inflammation(P=0.23),ballooning(P=0.10),fibrosis score(P=0.18),or presence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(P=0.17).Within the entire study population,zonulin levels were positively associated with gamma-glutamyl transferase,2-h insulin,HFF,and negatively associated with whole-body insulin sensitivity index(WBISI),after adjustment for age,gender and pubertal status.When the associations were restricted to the group of NAFLD patients,2-h insulin,hepatic fat,and WBISI retained statistical significance.CONCLUSION:Circulating zonulin is increased in children and adolescents with NAFLD and correlates with the severity of ste

Adipokines and C-reactive protein in relation to bone mineralization in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

引用

World Journal of Gastroenterology 2013年第25期19卷 4007-4014页

AIM: To investigate bone mineral density (BMD) in obese children with and without nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); and the association between BMD and serum adipokines, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP). METHODS: A case-control study was performed. Cases were 44 obese children with NAFLD. The diagnosis of NAFLD was based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with high hepatic fat fraction (≥ 5%). Other causes of chronic liver disease were ruled out. Controls were selected from obese children with normal levels of aminotransferases, and without MRI evidence of fatty liver as well as of other causes of chronic liver diseases. Controls were matched (1-to 1-basis) with thecases on age, gender, pubertal stage and as closely as possible on body mass index-SD score. All participants underwent clinical examination, laboratory tests, and whole body (WB) and lumbar spine (LS) BMD by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. BMDZ-scores were calcu- lated using race and gender specific LMS curves. RESULTS: Obese children with NAFLD had a significantly lower LS BMDZ-score than those without NAFLD [mean, 0.55 (95%CI: 0.23-0.86) vs 1.29 (95%CI: 0.95-1.63); P < 0.01]. WB BMD Z-score was also decreased in obese children with NAFLD compared to obese children with no NAFLD, though borderline significance was observed [1.55 (95%CI: 1.23-1.87) vs 1.95 (95%CI: 1.67-2.10); P = 0.06]. Children with NAFLD had significantly higher HSCRP, lower adiponectin, but similar leptin levels. Thirty five of the 44 children with MRI-diagnosed NAFLD underwent liver biopsy. Among the children with biopsy-proven NAFLD, 20 (57%) had nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), while 15 (43%) no NASH. Compared to children without NASH, those with NASH had a significantly lower LS BMD Z-score [mean, 0.27 (95%CI: -0.17-0.71) vs 0.75 (95%CI: 0.13-1.39); P < 0.05] as well as a significantly lower WB BMD Z-score [1.38 (95%CI: 0.89-1.17) vs 1.93 (95%CI: 1.32-2.36); P < 0.05]. In multiple regression analysis, NASH (standardized β coefficient, -0.272; P < 0
