PUC pathogenesis is associated with an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidant activity which creates oxidative stress. Native thiol (NT) level is antioxidant capacity which is practical and repeatable marker of inflammation and antioxidan level. We aimed to analyse the relation of NT level with inflammatory markers and pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index (PUCAI).\u0000Material and Methods: Thirty-eight PUC patients (SG) and 33 control group (CG) participants were included in the study. PUC patients grouped as in remission, mild, moderate and severe activity according to disease activity according to PUCAI. NT, hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels of all participants were measured at the time they were enrolled in the study and recorded.\u0000Results: Mean age and gender ratio of groups were similar (p>0.050). NT level of SG statistically high compared to CG (p=0.001). Hb, PLT, MPV, CRP, ESR, IL-6 levels of SG were statistically different than CG (p=0.045, p=0.026, p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.001). NT level of SG was positively correlated with Hb, MPV, albumin (p=0.001, for all). NT level of SG was negatively correlated with PLT, CRP, ESR, IL-6 and PUCAI (p=0.001).\u0000Conclusion: NT level of PUC is significantly lower than CG. NT level of SG was positively correlated with albumin which is a good prognostic factor in PUC patients. NT may be repeatable, noninvasive candidate serum biomarker for PUC management.","PeriodicalId":246612,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127107281","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}

Shear-wave elastography is a novel noninvasive method that involves application of local mechanical compression on soft tissue using focused ultrasonography and acquiring strain images that show tissue response. We aimed to compare abdominal ultrasonography and Shear-wave elastography and also clinical and laboratory findings of children with cystic fibrosis prospectively. \u0000Methods: This study is a prospective study conducted in 13 cystic fibrosis patients followed between February 2018 and March 2019. The severity of cystic fibrosis-related liver disease was categorized according to international criteria. Elastography measurement was performed in the same session with the evaluation of the liver by abdominal ultrasonography in the patients. The liver stiffness measurements were compared with clinical data, biochemistry parameters and ultrasound findings.\u0000Results: Measurements were performed in 13 cystic fibrosis children (3 boys, 10 girls). The mean kiloPascal values of liver stiffness measurements with shear-wave elastography were 8.68 (4.1-20.2). The median liver stiffness measurement in subjects without cystic fibrosis-related liver disease was 7.79 kiloPascals (n=5); The median liver stiffness measurement in subjects with cystic fibrosis-related liver disease was 9.23 kiloPascals. \u0000Conclusion: Cystic fibrosis-related liver disease has a significantly varying disease burden, its prevalence is increasing, and its early recognition is crucial for treatment and follow-up. Although there are no clear range values determined for children in tissue stiffness measurements in Shear-wave elastography, clinical and other laboratory and imaging methods and follow-up and evaluation are important.","PeriodicalId":246612,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease","volume":"AES-16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126541007","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}

Anti-SS-A (Ro), anti-SS-B (La) antibodies in the mother's circulation are responsible for this situation. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the clinical features and long-term follow-up results of babies born to mothers with connective tissue disease in our hospital.\u0000Materials and methods: Patients who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2001 and January 2016 due to the diagnosis of SLE, SS or connective tissue disease in their mothers were retrospectively screened, and their demographic and clinical characteristics and electrocardiographic findings were recorded.\u0000Results: A total of 49 babies from 48 mothers were included in the study. Mean age of mothers at birth was 30.8±5.0 years (28-41), mean gestational week of patients was 35.8±2.5 weeks (28-41), mean birth weight was 2614±680 g (730-3810 g). Ten newborns (20.4%) had 3rd degree atrioventricular (AV) block, and 1 baby had 1st degree AV block. Permanent pacemaker was implanted in five patients in the neonatal period, two of these patients died in the neonatal period. A pacemaker was inserted in a patient who was followed up with AV block in the 6th month. One baby who had no cardiac conduction problem died due to reasons related to prematurity.

NIAS-PR includes three subscales picky eating, poor appetite/limited interest in eating, and fear of aversive consequences from eating. Also, our secondary aim was to assess the relationship between ARFID-related eating behaviours and emotional-behavioural symptoms of children and parents' psychological status.\u0000Methods: The NIAS-PR was translated into Turkish with standard procedures. Two hundred sixty-eight children (133 girls, 49.6%; mean age 8.62, age range from 2 to 18 years) and parents (175 mothers, 65.2%) were included in the study. The factor structure was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results were compared to the validated Turkish Children’s Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) to determine the convergent validity. Internal consistency (Cronbach alpha coefficient) analysis was used to determine the reliability of the NIAS-PR. \u0000Results: The current study provided evidence for the validity of the translated Turkish version of the NIAS-PR in the pediatric population. The three-factor structure of the NIAS—Picky eating, Appetite, and Fear—was replicated in the Turkish NIAS-PR. The NIAS-PR subscales showed the expected patterns of correlations with the CEBQ subscales. The reliability of the Turkish version of NIAS-PR proved to be satisfactory (total Cronbach's alpha=0.90) in the pediatric population (2-18 years).\u0000Conclusions: This study demonstrated a good internal consistency of the Turkish version of the NIAS-PR. We confirmed the three-factor structure of the Turkish version of NIAS-PR. NIAS-PR is a brief, reliable instrument for ARFID research in Turkish children and adolescents. The NIAS-PR is developed as a screening questionnaire, so health professionals should use it to investigate ARFID-related eating behaviours further. It is worth mentioning that deepening these eating symptoms with clinical interviews is necessary.","PeriodicalId":246612,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129733742","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}
