Incidence of hyponatremia in children with gastroenteritis treated with hypotonic intravenous fluids
Hypotonic saline solutions have been used for over five decades to treat children with diarrheal dehydration. However, concern
has recently been raised about the potential for iatrogenic hyponatremia as a result of this therapy. We reviewed the medical
records of 531 otherwise healthy children with gastroenteritis who had been admitted to the hospital for intravenous fluid
therapy. We retrospectively collected data on 141 of these children who had received two serum electrolytes (one upon admission
and the other 4–24 h thereafter). The remaining 390 children were excluded because their charts lacked the required data.
We analyzed data in 124 of these 141 patients whose initial serum sodium (Na) level was between 130–150 mEq/l and excluded
17 patients whose admission serum sodium fell outside this range. All patients were treated with intravenous hypotonic fluids
(5% dextrose in 0.2% saline, n = 4; 5% dextrose in 0.3% saline, n = 102; 5% dextrose in 0.45% saline, n = 18 patients) as maintenance fluid therapy or maintenance fluid plus deficit therapy; 100 of these children had received
an initial saline bolus of 21.05 ± 8.5 ml/kg upon admission. The serum Na level decreased by 1.7 ± 4.3 mEq/l in the whole
group. Of the 97 children with isonatremia (Na 139.5 ± 2.7 mEq/l) on admission, 18 (18.5%) developed mild hyponatremia (Na
133.4 ± 0.9 mEq/l, range 131–134), with a decrease in serum Na of 5.7 ± 3.1 mEq/l, and 79 remained isonatremic (Na 138.3 ± 2.7 mEq/l),
with a decrease in serum Na of 1.8 ± 3.4 mEq/l (p < 0.0005). There was no significant difference in type, rate, or amount of intravenous fluid or saline bolus (26.1 ± 10.4
vs. 20.2 ± 8.6 ml/kg, respectively) administered in these two groups. Children who became hyponatremic were older (5.8 ± 2.7 years)
than those who remained isonatremic (2.8 ± 3.1 years) (p < 0.0005), but there was no statistical difference in gender, degree of dehydration, and severity of metabolic acidosis between
the two groups. Although serum Na increased by 3.9 ± 2.5 mEq/l in 19 patients with mild hyponatremia upon admission (Na 132.8 ± 1.3
to 136.7 ± 2.6 mEq/l) and 73% of these became isonatremic, hypotonic saline solutions have the potential to cause hyponatremia
in children with gastroenteritis and isonatremic dehydration. 相似文献

The contribution of hypoalbuminemia to impaired diuretic responsiveness can be overcome by administering larger doses of loop
diuretics. However, the clinical efficacy of the combination of loop-acting diuretics with human albumin remains controversial.
In the study reported here, 16 children with nephrotic syndrome and refractory edema were randomized in a cross-over trial
to receive either the combination of 20% human albumin and frusemide infusion (HA+FU infusion group) or frusemide infusion
alone (FU infusion group). At the end of study, median urine volume was 3.27 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.04–4.50] ml/kg
per hour in the HA+FU infusion group and 1.33 (95% CI 0.79–1.88) ml/kg per hour in the FU infusion group (P = 0.01); the median daily sodium excretion was 58 (95% CI 30–366) mEq and 30 (95% CI 10–122) mEq (P = 0.08), respectively The changes in other variables included weight loss [HA+FU 5.2% (95% CI 3.1–8.8); FU 0.8% (95% CI −1.9
to 4.1); P = 0.006]; urine osmolality [HA+FU 315 (95% CI 220–426) mOsm/kg; FU 368 (95% CI 318–446) mOsm/kg; P = 0.13]; osmolal clearance [HA+FU 1600 (95% CI 916–4140) ml/day; FU 880 (95% CI 510–2105) ml/day; P = 0.01; free water clearance [HA+FU −190 (95% CI −960 to 280) ml/day; FU −162 (95% CI −446 to −70) ml/day; P = 0.18]. The findings from this study suggest that the co-administration of albumin and frusemide infusions is more effective
than the administration of frusemide infusion alone in inducing diuresis and natriuresis in patients with nephrotic syndrome. 相似文献

Proteinuria is the main indicator of renal disease progression in many chronic conditions. There is currently little information
available on the efficacy, safety, and individual tolerance of patients with post-diarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (D+
HUS) nephropathy to therapies involving diet, enalapril, or losartan. A multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trail
was conducted to evaluate the effect of a normosodic–normoproteic diet (Phase I) and the effect of normosodic–normoproteic
diet plus enalapril (0.18–0.27 mg/kg/day) or losartan (0.89–1.34 mg/kg/day) (Phase II) on children with D+ HUS, normal renal
function, and persistent, mild (5.1–49.9 mg/kg/day) proteinuria. Dietary intervention reduced the mean protein intake from
3.4 to 2.2 mg/kg/day. Of 137 children, proteinuria normalized in 91 (66.4 %) within 23–45 days; the remaining 46 patients
were randomized to diet plus placebo (group 1, n = 16), plus losartan (group 2, n = 16), or enalapril (group 3, n = 14). In groups 1, 2, and 3, proteinuria was reduced by 30.0, 82.0, and 66.3%, respectively, and normalized in six (37.5%),
three (81.3%), and 11 (78.6%) patients, respectively (χ2= 8.9, p = 0.015). These results suggest that: (1) a normosodic–normoproteic diet can normalize proteinuria in the majority of children
with D+ HUS with mild sequelae, (2) the addition of enalapril or losartan to such dietary restrictions of protein further
reduces proteinuria, and (3) these therapeutic interventions are safe and well tolerated. Whether these short-term effects
can be extended to the long-term remains to be demonstrated. 相似文献

The current guidelines recommend a dosage of prednisone of 60 mg/m2 body surface area per day (BSA PRED) for the initial therapy of nephrotic syndrome (NS). Alternatively, a dosage of 2 mg/kg
body weight per day (W PRED) can be used. We hypothesized that the BSA PRED and W PRED are not equivalent and analyzed the
differences between BSA PRED calculated with various formulas for body surface area (BSA), W PRED and the dose of prednisone
prescribed for our patients. We performed a retrospective chart review of the patients at their initial presentation of NS.
Thirty-three children were included, of median age 3.34 years at presentation. The W PRED was significantly lower than BSA
PRED (P < 0.05), with a median W PRED:BSA PRED ratio of 0.85 [interquartile range (IQR) 0.8 to 0.9]. The difference between W PRED
and BSA PRED decreased proportionally to patients’ weights up to 30 kg. No differences were noted between the various BSA
formulas using both weight and height for the calculation of BSA. The Bland–Altman analysis showed a proportional error between
W PRED and BSA PRED up to the average daily dose of 60 mg, with a mean bias of 0.86 (95% limits of agreement = 0.68 to 1.05).
Ten out of the 33 patients (30%) were given a lower than recommended BSA PRED dose by more than 5 mg/day. In conclusion, the
dosage of prednisone at 2 mg/kg per day versus 60 mg/m2 per day is not equivalent for patients with weights <30 kg and/or dose <60 mg/day. 相似文献

A Pediatric Amino Acid Solution for Total Parenteral Nutrition Does Not Affect Liver Function Test Results in Neonates 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Purpose: We studied the effects of an amino acid mixture used for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in pediatrics, on the liver function
test results (LFTs) of neonates.
Methods: Thirty neonatal surgical patients were randomly divided into three groups according to the dose of amino acids given: group
H (n= 12, 3.45 ± 0.07 g/kg per day), group M (n= 8, 2.59 ± 0.07 g/kg per day), and group L (n= 10, 1.72 ± 0.06 g/kg per day). All patients received the same amount of dextrose (average 21.5 g/kg per day) and no lipid.
Results: There were no significant differences in LFTs, namely, direct bilirubin, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic
transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and total bile acids, among the three groups on the tenth day
of TPN.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that this amino acid solution for pediatrics has no significant effect on LFTs in neonates, even
when high doses of amino acids (3.5 g/kg per day) are infused.

Background The implantation of an intragastric balloon constitutes a short-term effective non-surgical intervention to lose weight. The
aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the clinical outcome and safety of gastric balloon therapy (GBT) in extremely
obese patients.
Methods One hundred and nine super- and super-super-obese patients, 64 males and 45 females, mean age 39.1 ± 8.4 years, mean body
mass index (BMI) 68.8 ± 8.9 kg/m2, who underwent GBT for weight loss, were studied retrospectively. GBT was assessed in massively obese patients concerning
tolerance, weight loss, number of comorbidities and complications.
Results A significant reduction in patients’ weight and BMI was evident after GBT. Regarding safety, no major complications occurred.
Minor complications at balloon placement and removal occurred in one (0.9%) and three patients (2.8%) respectively. Mean duration
of GBT was 177.6 ± 56.8 days. After GBT, the mean weight loss was 26.3 ± 15.2 kg (p < 0.001) and the mean BMI reduction was 8.7 ± 5.1 kg/m2 (p < 0.001) representing a mean percentage of excess BMI lost (%EBL) of 19.7 ± 10.2. The highest BMI loss was observed in patients
with BMI > 80 kg/m2. A noteworthy improvement of comorbidities in 56.8% of the patients was also noted. Of the 109 patients, 69 received subsequent
bariatric surgery. All the procedures were performed laparoscopically. Ten patients, with a mean BMI of 68.6 ± 10.6 kg/m2 after the removal of the first BIB, received a second BIB resulting in a non-significant weight and BMI loss of 6.3 ± 9.4 kg
and 1.8 ± 2.9 kg/m2, respectively.
Conclusions Our study indicates the safety and efficacy of GBT in extremely obese patients particularly as a first step before a definitive
anti-obesity operation. GBT appears to be a safe, tolerable, and potentially effective procedure for the initial treatment
of morbid obesity. 相似文献

Urinary tract infection (UTI) differs between preterm and older infants and children in terms of prevalence, clinical presentation,
causative organism, and rate of underlying renal anomalies. Data on risk factors of UTI in preterm infants are limited. The
aim of this study was to characterize UTI both clinically and microbiologically in premature infants and to define possible
risk factors and the role of breastfeeding in its development. This case–control study was conducted in a tertiary-care neonatal
intensive care unit (NICU) between 1995 and 2003. The study group included all premature infants (<37 weeks’ gestation) diagnosed
with UTI. Pre-, peri-, and postnatal data on demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging variables were collected from
the medical records and microbiology laboratory log and compared with a gestational age- and birth weight-matched infants
without UTI (control group). The ratio of control infants to cases was 2:1. Of the 6198 premature infants admitted to the
NICU during the study period, 56 (0.9%) were included in the study group. The main causative organism was Klebsiella spp. Logistic regression analysis identified gender [odds ratio (OR) 2.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.28–6.85, P < 0.0001] and the presence of a peripheral intravenous catheter on the day of infection to be significantly associated with
UTI, while breast milk was associated with a lower risk of infection (OR 0.314, 95% CI 0.140–0.707, P < 0.009). 相似文献

We assessed the long-term renal complications in a regional cohort of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) children born in 2002–2004.
The study group, comprising 78 children born as ELBW infants (88% of the available cohort), was evaluated with measurement
of serum cystatin C, urinary albumin excretion, renal ultrasound, and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements. The control
group included 38 children born full-term selected from one general practice in the district. Study patients were evaluated
at a mean age of 6.7 years, and had a median birthweight of 890 g (25th–75th percentile: 760–950 g) and a median gestational
age of 27 weeks (25th–75th percentile: 26–29 weeks). Mean serum cystatin C levels were significantly higher (0.64 vs. 0.59 mg/l;
p = 0.01) in the ELBW group. Hypertension was diagnosed in 8/78 ELBW and 2/38 of the control children (p = 0.5). Microalbuminuria (>20 mg/g of creatinine) was detected only in five ELBW children (p = 0.17). The mean renal volume was significantly lower in the ELBW group (absolute kidney volume 81 ml vs. 113 ml; p < 0.001, relative kidney volume 85 vs. 97%; p < 0.001). Abnormally small kidneys (<2/3 of predicted size) were detected in 19 ELBW and four control children (p = 0.08). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the only independent risk factor for renal complications was weight
gained during neonatal hospitalization (odds ratio: 0.67; 95% confidence interval: 0.39–0.94). Serum cystatin C and kidney
volume are significantly lower in school-age ELBW children. It is important to include systematic renal evaluation in the
follow-up programs of ELBW infants. 相似文献

Cyclophosphamide (CP) has been used for over 40 years in patients with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) presenting
frequent relapses or steroid dependence (SD). We evaluated retrospectively and tried to identify parameters possibly associated
with a prolonged and sustained remission (PSR+) ≥5 years in 108 children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS)
treated with oral CP. Patients had a follow-up time ≥5 years and were divided into two groups according to achievement of
PSR (+ and –). Gender, histological injury, cumulative doses of CP, age of onset of illness, and start of treatment and prednisone
dose on the occasion of relapse were analyzed. The overall cumulative sustained remission for 5 and 10 years was 25 and 21.6%,
respectively. The only factor that influenced a PSR was the degree of SD: the group PSR+ relapsed at prednisone dose of 0.96 ± 0.51 mg/kg
vs. 1.29 ± 0.59 mg/kg in group PSR– (p = 0.01). Also, patients who relapsed in the presence of prednisone doses ≤1.4 mg/kg showed a cumulative sustained remission
of 43, 35, and 32.7% at 2, 5, and 10 years, respectively, versus 22.5, 12.5, and 5% in those with prednisone >1.4 mg/kg (p = 0.001). Our findings suggest that patients with SDNS who relapse on prednisone dose >1.4 mg/kg are especially prone to
an unfavorable response to CP use. 相似文献

Mycophenolate mofetil versus cyclosporine for remission maintenance in nephrotic syndrome 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We performed a multi-centre randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to that of
cyclosporine A (CsA) in treating children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome and biopsy-proven minimal change disease.
Of the 31 randomized initially selected patients, seven were excluded. The remaining 24 children received either MMF 1200 mg/m2 per day (n = 12) or CsA 4–5 mg/kg per day (n = 12) during a 12-month period. Of the 12 patients in the MMF group, two discontinued the study medication. Evaluation of
the changes from the baseline glomerular filtration rate showed an overall significant difference in favour of MMF over the
treatment period (p = 0.03). Seven of the 12 patients in the MMF group and 11 of the 12 patients in the CsA group remained in complete remission
during the entire study period. Relapse rate in the MMF group was 0.83/year compared to 0.08/year in the CsA group (p = 0.08). None of the patients reported diarrhea. Pharmacokinetic profiles of mycophenolic acid were performed in seven patients.
The patient with the lowest area under the curve had three relapses within 6 months. In children with frequently relapsing
minimal change nephrotic syndrome, MMF has a favourable side effect profile compared to CsA; however, there is a tendency
towards a higher relapse risk in patients treated with MMF. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and outcome of isolated severe renal pelvis dilatation (RPD; APD > 15 ≤ 20 mm)
in an unselected population of 2-month-old infants prospectively followed up for 12–14 months of life. Isolated severe renal
pelvis dilatation was detected in 46 of the 11,801 (0.39%) infants screened. Nephro-urological investigations were initiated
if RPD persisted, or if urinary tract infection (UTI) occurred during follow-up, and antibiotic therapy was administered only
when UTI occurred. At follow-up, RPD persisted in 24 infants. Of these, 8 infants presented with vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR)
of grade ≥ 3 and 16 with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Incidence of UTI was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in infants of the study group than in infants of the control group (13.9 vs 2.5%). Our data suggest that isolated
severe RPD may be a self-limiting condition and that antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) for the prevention of UTI should not be performed.
Considering RDP resolution and the incidence of UTI during follow-up, investigations for uropathy in infants with isolated,
severe RPD are justified in persistent cases, or when UTI occurs during follow-up. Careful clinical monitoring for signs of
UTI and treatment of each episode of UTI may be sufficient and safe. 相似文献

Vitamin A (VA) deficiency in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants is associated with an increased risk for disorders related
to kidney and lung maturation and function. VA losses through increased urinary retinol (ROH) excretion might contribute to
this deficiency risk. The mechanism accounting for ROH loss in the urine has not yet been clarified. The aim of this study
was to assess the excretion of ROH, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and transthyretin (TTR) in urine from VLBW infants in
comparison with that in term infants in relation to kidney function. Urine specimens were collected from 15 VLBW infants (birth
weight < 1,500 g) as well as from 20 term infants during the first 2 days after birth. ROH in urine was detectable in 14 of
the 15 VLBW infants at a median concentration of 234 nmol/g creatinine. In the group of term infants, 17 of the 20 excreted
ROH, but at an approximately five-times lower concentration (P < 0.001). Excretion of RBP4 and TTR was also much higher in VLBW infants (both P< 0.001). The urinary ROH excretion in VLBW infants may be related to the impaired tubular handling of its carrier proteins
RBP4 and TTR. Thus, ROH excretion might contribute to an increased risk of VA deficiency, especially in VLBW infants. 相似文献

Summary We investigated whether osteoporosis therapy with alendronate in postmenopausal patients is equally effective in patients
who are vitamin D insufficient as in those who are vitamin D sufficient. We found that vitamin D insufficiency is common among
patients with low bone density but that vitamin D insufficiency did not impair response to alendronate.
Introduction Treatment of vitamin D deficiency leads to significant improvements in bone mineral density (BMD); however, whether insufficiency
affects BMD’s response to bisphosphonate therapy is unknown.
Methods To determine whether vitamin D insufficiency at initiation of alendronate therapy for low BMD affects treatment efficacy,
we used data from 1,000 postmenopausal women randomly selected from the vertebral fracture arm (n = 2,027) of the placebo-controlled Fracture Intervention Trial of alendronate. Participants were randomly assigned to placebo
(50%) or alendronate therapy and most (83%) to calcium (500 mg/day) and cholecalciferol (250 IU/day). We measured serum 25-hydroxy
vitamin D (25OHD) at enrollment, then categorized baseline vitamin D status according to 25OHD concentration ( ≤ 10 ng/ml = deficient;
>10 but ≤ 30 ng/ml = insufficient; >30 ng/ml = sufficient) and used linear regression to compare the effects of alendronate
treatment among these categories.
Results and conclusion At baseline, participants were vitamin D sufficient (14%), insufficient (83%), and deficient (2%). We found that BMD response
to therapy at total hip or spine did not vary by vitamin D status at baseline (p for heterogeneity = 0.6). We determined that vitamin D insufficiency is common among participants with low BMD. However,
vitamin D status at initiation of therapy does not affect BMD’s response to alendronate, when it is coadministered with cholecalciferol
and calcium.

Background The effects of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) on bone in the long-term remains unclear. We assessed bone metabolism and bone
mineral density (BMD) 1 to 5 years after RYGB.
Methods We designed a retrospective cohort study in 26 postmenopausal women (58.0 ± 3.9 years old) with RYGB 3.5 ± 1.1 years before
(body mass index (BMI) 29.5 ± 3.8 kg/m2, presurgery 43.6 ± 5.5 kg/m2) and 26 nonoperated women (57.5 ± 4.7 years old, BMI 29.2 ± 4.1 kg/m2) matched by age and BMI. The main measures were BMD, serum carboxy telopeptide (CTx), total alkaline phosphatases (ALP),
parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), and ghrelin.
Results RYGB group, compared to nonoperated women, had higher CTx (0.71 ± 0.21 vs. 0.43 ± 0.15 ng/ml; P < 0.01) and PTH (68.3 ± 35 vs. 49.4 ± 16 pg/ml; P = 0.02). There were no differences between RYGB and nonoperated women in: calcium and vitamin D intake (759 ± 457 vs. 705 ± 460 mg/day;
176 ± 160 vs. 111 ± 86 UI/day), ghrelin (763 ± 336 vs. 621 ± 274 pg/ml), ALP (101 ± 22 vs. 94 ± 25 UI/l), 25OHD (18.8 ± 7.6
vs. 17.4 ± 5.9 ng/ml), lumbar spine BMD (1.059 ± 0.32 vs. 1.071 ± 0.207 g/cm2), or femoral neck BMD (0.892 ± 0.109 vs. 0.934 ± 1.1 g/cm2).
Conclusions RYGB is associated to high bone resorption and hyperparathyroidism prevalence in postmenopausal women in the long-term. This
occurs independently of the intake of calcium, vitamin D status, or ghrelin and does not seem to affect BMD after RYGB. 相似文献

Background Patients with obesity have an increased risk of osteoarthritis of the knee, which can lead to the need for total knee replacement
(TKR). TKR may be more complex in obese patients and the correct orientation of the implant is more difficult. We selected
patients with body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m2 undergoing TKR and studied the utility of an intramedullary tibial cutting guide in facilitating the correct orientation
of the tibial implant.
Methods Seventy patients with BMI >35 kg/m2 were selected for a prospective, randomized study. Patients were divided into two groups: In group 1 (n = 31), the tibial component was implanted using the aid of a intramedullary tibial guide. In group 2 (n = 39), the tibial component was implanted using the aid of an extramedullary tibial cutting guide.
Results The two groups were comparable with respect to age, BMI, and degree of preoperative deformity. Mean age was 69.35 in group
1 and 70.06 in group 2. Group 1 had a mean BMI of 39.84 kg/m2 and group 2 of 40.05 kg/m2. Postoperative orientation of the femur and tibia and the mechanical axis were within the normal range in both groups. A
statistically significant difference between the two groups was observed in tourniquet time, which was longer in group 2 than
in group 1 (p = 0.038).
Conclusion Two types of guide were compared in correctly orienting the tibial component of the TKR in patients with a BMI >35 kg/m2. The lesser tourniquet time in the group in which the intramedullary guide was used suggest its usefulness because the positioning
and orientation of the tibial cut was carried out more rapidly and anatomical references were not needed for correct orientation,
as it is guided by the anatomical axis of the tibia. The use of the intramedullary guide reduces surgical time in these patients. 相似文献

The pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of lisinopril were obtained in 46 children aged 6 months to 15 years. A lisinopril suspension
(0.15 mg/kg per day) was administered to patients <6 years of age; the remaining children received lisinopril tablets, the
daily dose being adjusted according to body weight, i.e., 2.5 mg if <25 kg, 5 mg if 25–45 kg, and 10 mg if >45 kg. Blood was
drawn predose and on eight occasions postdose in children aged 4–15 years, and on five occasions in those aged <4 years. PK
data are reported for the 46 children in terms of age groups: Group I (n = 9), aged 6–23 months; Group II (n = 8), aged 2–5 years; Group III (n = 12), aged 6–11 years; Group IV (n = 17), aged 12–15 years. The dose of lisinopril ranged from 3.07 mg/m2 per day in Group I to 4.78 mg/m2 per day in Group IV. Cmax of lisinopril, which occurred 5–6 h postdose, varied from 22 ng/ml in Groups I and II to 44 ng/ml in Groups III and IV; AUC0–24 h ranged from 301–311 ng·h/ml in Groups I and II to 550–570 ng·h/ml in Groups III and IV. No serious adverse events related
to lisinopril were reported. 相似文献

Background Weight loss and long-term weight maintenance in bariatric surgery patients are related to maintaining satiety. It can be related
to glycemic load (GL) and carbohydrate (g CHO) intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of g CHO and GL
and in weight loss on patients who had undergone bariatric surgery.
Method The following measurements/calculations were conducted as follows: current body weight (kg), current BMI, percentage of excess
weight loss (PEWL), average monthly weight loss (AMWL), energy intake (kcal per day), and GL calculation. Correlations were
found among the studied variables. A multiple linear regression analysis of diet variables executed with GL and weight loss.
Results The population presented 66% of EWL. The average of total energy intake (TEI) was 1220 ± 480, and the calculated GL resulted
in an average of 73.2. Negative correlations were found between AMWL and TEI (p = 0.04), and between AMWL and GL (p = 0.009); furthermore, a negative correlation was found between carbohydrate intake in grams and AMWL (p = 0.003). A positive correlation (p = 0.017) was found between GL and TEI. Weight loss and GL were also correlated. Among the intake variables, GL and g CHO
consumed are held accountable for 62 percent of AMWL. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that GL and carbohydrate
grams (g CHO) account for 62% of AMWL.
Conclusion The glycemic load and grams of carbohydrate are intake factors that can be useful tools in weight loss and long-term weight
maintenance on patients who have undergone Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). 相似文献

The aim of our study was to examine diurnal variation in urine volume (UV) output, proteinuria (UPRT), urine creatinine (UCr)
and urine sodium ion excretion (UNa) in children with chronic glomerulopathy. In 56 patients (20 boys/36 girls, aged 11.7 ± 0.6 years)
samples for UPRT, UCr and UNa were collected during the day and night, with continuous ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring.
On the basis of creatinine clearance (CrCl) the patients were divided into group I (n = 44, with CrCl 131 ± 3.6 ml/min per 1.73 m2 body surface area), or group II (n = 12, with CrCl 44.6 ± 7.7 ml/min per 1.73 m2 body surface area). Nocturnal polyuria was defined as night time UV ≥ 35% of the 24 h UV. Age, gender, body mass index of
the patients, 24 h UV, UCr and UNa were similar in both groups. However, arterial hypertension and nocturnal polyuria were
widespread (P < 0.01) in group II. In addition, proteinuria was higher (P < 0. 05) in group II. The nocturnal decline in CrCl, UV, UPRT and UNa was significantly attenuated (P < 0.005) in patients in group II compared with those in group I. The night time mean arterial pressure (MAP), as well as
the night/day ratios of MAP, UV, UPRT and UNa, showed negative associations with CrCl. Our findings strongly suggest that
renal function diurnal variation and nocturnal MAP are related to decreased glomerular filtration rate at the time of examination. 相似文献

Background Conception is discouraged during the period of maximal weight loss following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) because of speculative
maternal and fetal concerns. We therefore performed a retrospective cohort study of obstetrical and neonatal outcomes by surgery-to-conception
interval.
Methods Women with RYGB were stratified into two groups by surgery-to-conception interval of ≤18 or >18 months. Pregnancy and newborn
outcomes excluding miscarriages were compared using the chi-square or unpaired t-test for dichotomous and continuous variables, respectively.
Results Twenty subjects conceived ≤18 months (11.4 ± 5.0) and 32 conceived >18 months (47.5 ± 41) after RYGB, p < .05. Maternal age, parity, body mass index, and weight gain were similar by group. There were no statistically significant
differences in adverse obstetrical outcomes (preterm premature membrane rupture, gestational diabetes, oligohydramnios, intrauterine
growth restriction, preterm or post-term delivery) or adverse newborn outcomes (5-min Apgar score < 7, intensive care admission,
or birth defect).
Conclusion Obstetrical and neonatal outcomes are similar in women conceiving during or after the period of maximal weight loss following
RYGB. 相似文献
