Hypophosphatasia is rare hereditary disease caused by deficiency of the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase isozyme. It manifests with bone and teeth mineralisation defects, electrolyte imbalance, respiratory disorders, convulsive syndrome, physical developmental delay, nephrocalcinosis. The rarity of this disease, clinical polymorphism, non-specificity of complains and signs are the major reasons of hypophosphatasia late diagnosis. The enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant alkaline phosphatase (asfotase alfa) can be used for treatment of severe forms of disease. Clinical Case Description . The girl (1 y 4 m) was routinely admitted with complains of physical developmental delay and psychomotor retardation, deformation of lower limbs, chest, gait abnormality, teeth loss and with diagnosis «protein-calorie malnutrition». Rickets-like changes in skeleton, myopathic syndrome, early normal teeth loss, hepatomegaly were revealed. Reduced activity of alkaline phosphatase in blood serum (33 u/l; reference range 156–369 u/l) was revealed. The infantile hypophosphatasia has been diagnosed. Due to molecular genetic testing of ALPL gene we revealed pathogenic variants c.526G>A (p.Ala176Thr) and c.1375G>A (p.Val459Met) in compound heterozygous state. The asphotase alpha therapy was initiated at the age of 1 y 10 m, the dose was 2 mg/kg subcutaneously 3 times a week. The results of 6 months of the therapy are the following: significant increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase (maximum 4400 u/l), body weight (+ 2 kg), growth (+ 6 cm), reduction of bone deformation, normalisation of muscle tone and gait, exercise tolerance. The patient tolerated the drug administration well. Rarely there were hyperemia zones up to 4 cm in diameter with moderate induration at the injection site but they spontaneous disappeared in 2–3 days though. Conclusion. Patients with rickets-like diseases and low alkaline phosphatase activity requires performing of molecular genetic testing to confirm hypophosphatasia. Timely diagnosis and early initiation of enzyme replacement therapy can significantly improve the quality of life of children with hypophosphatasia.","PeriodicalId":10919,"journal":{"name":"Current Paediatrics","volume":"15 1","pages":"452-457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85206653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to examine the status of postvaccinal immunity and determine the factors associated with preservation of protective level of antibodies in patients with JIA. Methods. This cross-sectional study included patients with JIA at the age from 2 to 17 years old vaccinated under the age of two (before JIA) against measles, rubella, parotitis, hepatitis B and diphtheria. Levels of IgG to vaccine antigens were measured by enzyme immunoassay. The minimum protective level of anti-measles IgG was esteemed as 0.18 IU/ml, antibodies to rubella — 10 IU/ml, for parotitis — COI > 1.0, for hepatitis B — 10 mIU/ml, antibodies to diphtheria — 0.09 IU/ml. Results. The study included 90 patients with JIA (71% of girls) at the age (median) 11.3 (7.5; 14.9) years. The age of JIA manifestation was 6.0 (4.0; 8.0) years, disease duration — 4.0 (2.0; 7.3) years.

The decrease of postvaccinal immunity level was associated with JIA duration and glucocorticosteroids administration (against diphtheria) duration, as well as drop-out immunization (against measles). Conclusion. Major part of children with JIA have no protection against measles, parotitis, hepatitis B or diphtheria. High risk of progression of such vaccine-preventable diseases in these children demands development of individual programs of immunization.","PeriodicalId":10919,"journal":{"name":"Current Paediatrics","volume":"94 1","pages":"435-441"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76839285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim was to study the role of cardiac autonomic neuropathy and hypoglycemia as independent risk factors of QTc elongation at night in adolescents with T1D. Methods. Patients at the age of 10-17 years old with T1D were enrolled in the cohort study. All patients have undergone simultaneous 24-hour monitoring of electrocardiogram and glycemia.

It is illustrated how important timely nutritional support is and how long and difficult nutritional disorders can proceed in these children even after termination of the main therapy. Conclusion . Preventive nutritional support with infant formulas is advisable for children with oncological diseases prior to treatment even with normal nutritional indicators.

Diagnostic mistakes due to incomplete examination of patients are the leading cause of death. The prevalence of such mistakes and their association with treatment outcomes in our country remain uninvestigated. Objective . Our aim was to study the frequency of recording vital and laboratory parameters and its relationship with death in children admitted to a hospital for emergency medical care. Methods . In our case-control study we analysed the data of medical records of an inpatient (Form 003/u) — patients for intensive care at the age of 0–17 years who were admitted to first-level (n = 13) and second-level (n = 5) hospitals of the Rostov Region (except for Rostov-on-Don) in 2006–2017. We considered the frequency of recording vital (heart rate, respiration rate; blood pressure; oxygen saturation of arterial blood; body temperature) and laboratory (blood count, haemoglobin, hematocrit, total protein, glucose, urea, creatinine, pH, pCO2, pO2, BE, sodium and potassium levels) parameters upon admission to in-patient hospital and when transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). The association of the frequency of recording these parameters with hospital outcome was assessed using multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for the effect of confounders (consultation by a resuscitationist of the resuscitation and consultation centre; the level of healthcare facility; admission time; the presence of infectious diseases and diseases that occurred in the perinatal period; the level of consciousness; the duration of the underlying disease before admission; the method of admission to a healthcare facility). Results . We studied the data of 61 children with a favourable (discharged from healthcare facilities) and 90 children with a fatal outcome in the in-patient hospital (76 — in the ICU). A fatal outcome in the in-patient hospital was associated with records of BE [odds ratio (OR) 3.25; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25–8.46)], total protein level (OR 0.19; 95% CI 0.05–0.79), urea (OR 0.24; 95% CI 0.06–0.87) and creatinine (OR 0.23; 95% CI 0.08–0.67) upon admission.
