Background/Purpose
Intestinal damage (ID) is closely related to morbidity and mortality in gastroschisis. This study was performed to determine the intraamniotic substances that may correlate ID and also to verify their time course levels that would be useful for determining when ID starts in gastroschisis.Methods
In this study, 13-day-old fertilized chick eggs were used. The amnioallantoic membrane was perforated to create amnioallantoic cavity in all embryos. Gastroschisis was created in gastroschisis group to simulate human gastroschisis. Amnioallantoic fluid samples were collected from the embryos on the 13th to 19th gestational days, and the intestines of each group were harvested for evaluation. Amnioallantoic levels of interleukin-8, ferritin, alkaline phosphatase, and amylase were measured. Serosal thickness of the intestines in each group was evaluated.Results
Increasing amnioallantoic fluid levels of interleukin-8, alkaline phosphatase, and amylase were found in both groups. In contrast to control group, ferritin levels, as a sign of inflammation, were found increased only in gastroschisis group. Histopathologic examination of intestines in the gastroschisis group showed a significant increase in the serosal thickness especially after the 16th day.Conclusion
Increases in amnioallantoic fluid levels of ferritin show promise as a marker for determining ID encountered in gastroschisis but warrant further investigation. 相似文献2.
Background
An apparent increase in the incidence of gastroschisis and exomphalos has been reported from several parts of the world. The exact mechanism of this trend is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the regional and national trends in the incidence of gastroschisis and exomphalos in New Zealand.Material and Methods
This retrospective multicenter study involved collection of data from all 4 tertiary care pediatric surgical centers in New Zealand. The incidence was calculated per 10,000 live births. Data were analyzed to determine the regional and national trends. The statistical analysis was done using linear regression model and Poisson distribution.Results
The incidence of gastroschisis has increased from 2.96 per 10,000 live births to 5.16 per 10,000 live births between 1996 and 2004. During the same period, the incidence of exomphalos has increased from 0.69 per 10,000 live births to 3.27 per 10,000 live births. Gastroschisis was observed more in younger mothers, whereas exomphalos was associated with older mothers.Conclusion
The incidence of gastroschisis and exomphalos is increasing in New Zealand, which is consistent with worldwide trends in showing the increasing incidence of anterior abdominal wall defects. 相似文献3.
Purpose
Local and state registries have shown recent increases in the prevalence of gastroschisis in the United States and abroad. The purpose of this study was to use a nationally representative database to identify national trends in the prevalence of gastroschisis repairs.Methods
Records of infants undergoing gastroschisis repair were identified in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 1996 to 2003. Birth data were obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics and used to calculate the rate of procedures/live births stratified by US census region. Survey statistics were used to account for the sampling design of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database.Results
Between 1996 and 2003, a total of 9459 gastroschisis repairs were performed in the United States (3 procedures for every 10,000 births). A significant increase in the population-based rate of these procedures was observed in each census regions and nationwide. A twofold higher procedure rate was observed in 2003 than in 1996 (rate ratio, 2.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-2.9; P < .001). No significant change in unadjusted hospital mortality was observed regionally or nationally.Conclusions
The population-based rate of gastroschisis repairs significantly increased regionally and nationwide between 1996 and 2003, paralleling recent trends described at the local and state level. 相似文献4.

Background/Purpose
Gastroschisis is the most frequent cause of pediatric intestinal transplantation. This study reviews our experience of intestinal transplantation secondary to gastroschisis to elucidate those factors affecting the outcome of children with short bowel syndrome.Methods
A retrospective review was performed for children who underwent intestinal transplantation for gastroschisis at the University of Miami between June 2003 and August 1994.Results
Thirty-two transplants were performed in 28 children with gastroschisis during the study period. Associated intestinal anomalies were present in 22 infants (atresia [n = 14], volvulus [n = 3], and/or ischemia [n = 16]). Spontaneous prenatal closure of gastroschisis, a rare anomaly associated with bowel atresia and ischemia because of a very small abdominal defect, was seen in 9 patients. Most of the patients had a complicated course and required multiple abdominal surgeries before transplant. Fifteen (53.6%) patients are currently alive at a median follow-up of 23.5 months. Short-term survival rate has significantly improved in recent years.Conclusions
Patients with complex gastroschisis and intestinal anomalies have a significant risk for progression to short bowel syndrome. Intestinal transplantation can be a lifesaving option and provides a satisfactory outcome for children with short bowel syndrome secondary to gastroschisis. 相似文献5.

Background
Gastroschisis is a rare congenital anomaly, the improved surgical management of which has contributed to a survival rate greater than 90%. Development of an accurate risk stratification system to help identify the subset of patients at greatest risk for death may lead to further improvements in outcome.Methods
Infants with gastroschisis were identified from 16 years of the National Inpatient Sample database and the Kids' Inpatient Database using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification procedure code 54.71 (repair of gastroschisis) and an age of less than 8 days. Logistic regression analysis determined which coexisting diagnoses were significantly associated with death. Odds ratios from the logistic regression model were simplified and used as weighting factors to create an additive index. The index was validated using the 2003 Kids' Inpatient Database data set.Results
Intestinal atresia, necrotizing enterocolitis, rare cardiac anomalies, and lung hypoplasia were strongly associated with death and used to create a scoring system with a potential range of 0 to 10. Every point increase on the scale of gastroschisis risk stratification index is associated with a 95% relative increase in the likelihood of death.Conclusion
We have developed a novel index, which is superior to previous classification systems in identifying patients with gastroschisis who are at highest risk for death. 相似文献6.
Background
Despite advances in the care of neonates with gastroschisis, patients present with significant morbidities. Preterm delivery of neonates with gastroschisis is often advocated to avoid the intestinal damage that may be sustained with prolonged exposure to amniotic fluid. However, preterm delivery may impose additional morbidities to this disease process.Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of patients with gastroschisis born from 1989 to 2007. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Preterm healthy neonates, with gestational age from 26 to 36 weeks, were used as controls.Results
Preterm infants with gastroschisis had a 14 times higher risk for any of the recorded morbidities. As compared to term neonates with gastroschisis, preterm neonates with gastroschisis had a higher rate of sepsis, longer duration to reach full enteral feedings, and longer length of stay. Although the preterm infants with gastroschisis were less likely to be small for gestational age at birth, they were as likely as the term infants with gastroschisis to have failure to thrive at discharge and had a greater drop in weight percentile during hospitalization.Conclusions
Preterm delivery should be avoided because there is no clear benefit to the gut in avoiding derivative injuries. Meticulous attention should be given to the nutritional needs of patients with gastroschisis. 相似文献7.
Aim
An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of amnio-allantoic fluid exchange and intrauterine bicarbonate treatment on intestinal damage and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in gastroschisis.Materials and Methods
Thirteen-day-old fertilized chick eggs were randomly allocated into 4 groups as control, gastroschisis, gastroschisis + amnio-allantoic fluid exchange, and gastroschisis + bicarbonate treatment groups. In the treatment groups, amnio-allantoic exchange and bicarbonate treatments were performed for 3 days, after creating gastroschisis. Specimens were processed for hematoxylin-eosin and c-kit immunohistochemistry on the 18th day of incubation, after macroscopic examination. The intestines were evaluated with light microscopy for the presence of mucosal congestion and muscular and serosal edema. Mean muscular thickness and density of ICC were measured.Results
Mean muscular thickness significantly increased in the gastroschisis group when compared with control and treatment groups. Labeling intensity, morphology, and localization of the ICC were similar in all groups. Mean ICC density significantly decreased in the gastroschisis group when compared with the control group (P < .01), and it significantly increased after amnio-allantoic fluid exchange treatment (P < .01).Conclusions
The decrease in ICC density encountered in damaged intestinal loops in gastroschisis was prevented with intrauterine treatment. The beneficial effects of amniotic exchange on intestinal motility may depend on both prevention of intestinal damage and preservation of ICC density and function. The density of ICC might be a reliable numeric parameter both to predict intestinal motility disorders in gastroschisis and to compare the effectiveness of intrauterine treatment methods. 相似文献8.

Objective
Gastroschisis is associated with inflammatory changes in the exposed bowel which leads to intestinal dysmotility after postnatal repair. The insult is a combined effect of amniotic fluid exposure and mechanical constriction. We hypothesized that in utero anatomic repair is possible in a sheep model, and that it may halt the inflammatory damage caused by both mechanisms.Methods
Gastroschisis was surgically created in mid-gestation (day 75) in 8 sheep fetuses. On gestational day 100, 2 fetuses underwent open fetal gastroschisis repair, where the eviscerated bowel was returned to the peritoneal cavity, and the abdominal wall was primarily closed. All fetuses were harvested at 135 days of gestation.Results
Six fetuses survived the initial operation, and both fetuses that underwent gastroschisis repair survived to term. At 100 and 135 days of gestation, the eviscerated bowel showed progressive signs of inflammation and peel development. The gross and microscopic inflammatory changes in the gastroschisis bowel at 100 days of gestation were completely resolved at term following in utero repair.Conclusion
In utero anatomic repair of gastroschisis is possible in mid-gestation in the fetal lamb model, and it appears to ameliorate the inflammatory process. 相似文献9.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate recent trends in the prevalence of gastroschisis.Methods
The study used a retrospective review of a deidentified neonatal intensive care patient data set. To control for ascertainment bias, the prevalence of omphalocele was calculated to provide an internal comparison to another anomaly requiring surgical intervention.Results
During the study period (1997-2007), there were 473,366 discharges from the neonatal intensive care unit in the data set. There were 2057 (5.3/1000 discharges) neonates who had a gastroschisis and 853 (1.8/1000 discharges) who had an omphalocele. Between 1997 and 2004, the reported rate of gastroschisis increased from 2.9 to 6.1/1000 discharges, a relative increase of 210% (P < .001). Since 2004, the values have remained relatively stable at between 5.5 and 6.2/1000 discharges. Between 1997 and 2007, the hospital days for patients with gastroschisis/total hospital days increased from 0.6% to 1.3%, a relative increase of 220% (P < .001). In contrast, the reported rate of neonates with and the number of hospital days attributed to neonates with omphalocele has not changed significantly.Conclusion
The prevalence and the number of hospital days needed to care for neonates with gastroschisis have continued to increase since 2001. 相似文献10.

Purpose
Outcomes studies for gastroschisis are constrained by small numbers, prolonged accrual, and nonstandardized data collection. The aim of this study is to create a national pediatric surgical network and database for gastroschisis (GS) that tracks cases from diagnosis to hospital discharge.Methods
The 16-center network serves a population of 32 million. Gastroschisis cases are ascertained at prenatal diagnosis. Perinatal data include maternal risk and fetal ultrasound variables, delivery plan and outcome, a postnatal bowel injury score, intended and actual surgical treatment, and neonatal outcomes. Institutional review board-approved data collection conforms to regional privacy legislation. Deidentified data are centralized and accessible for research through the network steering committee.Results
To date, 114 cases of pre- and/or postnatal gastroschisis have been uploaded. Of 106 live-born infants (40 [38%] by cesarean delivery), 100 had complete records, and overall survival to discharge was 96%, with a mean survivor length of stay (LOS) of 46 days. Infants treated with attempted urgent closure (61%) had significantly shorter LOS (42 vs 57days; P = .048) but comparable LOS compared with those treated with silos and delayed closure. Fetal bowel dilation 18 mm or greater did not predict a difference in outcome.Conclusion
Population-based databases allow rapid case accrual and enable studies that should aid in the identification of optimal perinatal treatment. 相似文献11.

Purpose
The authors developed a clinical pathway for optimal management after antenatal diagnosis of gastroschisis. This is the outcomes analysis of our first 30 consecutive patients.Method
Antenatal counseling was provided for all families with in-utero diagnosis of gastroschisis. Bowel dilatation, thickness, motility, amniotic fluid volume, and fetal development were followed by ultrasonography every 4 weeks. Babies were delivered by cesarean section between 36 and 38 weeks gestation if the lungs were mature or earlier for bowel complications. Gastroschisis repair was scheduled 90 minutes after birth. Primary repair was attempted in all through the abdominal wall defect without an additional incision, resulting in an umbilicus with no abdominal scar.Results
Primary repair was achieved in 83%. Babies needed assisted ventilation for 3 days, reached full feeds by 19 days, and were discharged by 24 days (all medians). There were 3 (10%) deaths, all after staged repair.Conclusions
Our new protocol of both scheduled elective cesarean section and early gastroschisis repair resulted in a higher proportion of primary repair, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, earlier full feeds, and shorter length of stay. There was no increase in mortality or morbidity. The primary-repair babies had no mortality and had excellent cosmesis. 相似文献12.

Background/Purpose
To consolidate what is known about pregnancies complicated by fetal gastroschisis through analysis of one of the largest series yet reported and to define the average gestational age of spontaneous delivery.Methods
From 1980 to 2001, 159 pregnancies complicated by fetal gastroschisis were identified at a tertiary care center. Gestational age at delivery, birth weight, preterm delivery rate, and maternal age were compared to the 2001 general population statistics. Patients with pregnancies complicated by gastroschisis who went into spontaneous labor (n = 86) were subdivided into 2 groups based on gestational age (<37 weeks and ≥37 weeks). Operative delivery rates for nonreassuring fetal status and Apgar scores were assessed.Results
Gastroschisis occurred more often in younger mothers (<21 years) (42% vs 7.3%), was more frequently associated with preterm labor and delivery (28% vs 6%), and was associated with more low-birth-weight babies (36% vs 10%). The mean gestational age at spontaneous labor was 36.6 weeks. In those patients who labored spontaneously, there were no significant differences in the operative delivery rates for fetal distress; however, there was a trend to lower Apgar scores in babies born at 37 weeks or more.Conclusion
Our data provide a framework for further studies to determine the optimal timing and mode of delivery for fetuses with gastroschisis. 相似文献13.
Purpose
In fetuses with gastroschisis, the importance of ultrasonographic bowel dilation remains controversial. The outcome of patients with gastroschisis with and without prenatal bowel dilation is reported.Methods
From 2000 to 2004, 27 neonates with gastroschisis were followed at a single center. Thirteen patients had prenatal ultrasonographic bowel dilation (diameter, ≥6 mm; range, 6-35 mm). Outcomes of those with and without dilation were compared using 2 sample t tests and logistic regression.Results
Time to initiation of enteral nutrition varied significantly between groups (20.4 ± 11.7 days vs 12.5 ± 4.3 days, P < .05). A trend toward a reduced rate of primary closure was seen in those with dilation (23% vs 50%, P = .06). No significant difference was found when considering mortality, gestational age, time in the intensive care unit (ICU), time on parenteral nutrition, or length of stay. Prenatal bowel dilation, a longer ICU stay, and later gestational age independently predicted readmission for bowel obstruction (P < .001).Conclusion
Infants with gastroschisis and prenatal bowel dilation were significantly slower to initiate enteral feeding and tended to have a reduced incidence of primary closure. This did not translate into increased mortality, time on parenteral nutrition, time in the ICU, or length of stay. However, dilation was associated with readmission for bowel obstruction. 相似文献14.

Background
A pacemaker system is required for peristalsis generation. The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are considered the intestinal pacemaker, and are identified by expression of the c-kit gene—encoded protein. Gastroschisis is characterized by a severe gastrointestinal dysmotility in newborns. In spite of this clinical picture, few studies have focused on smooth muscle cells (SMC) morphology and none on ICC. Therefore, their morphology has been studied in fetuses at term in the rat model of gastroschisis.Methods
At 18.5 day’s gestation (E18.5), 10 rat fetuses were killed, 10 underwent surgical creation of gastroschisis, and 10 underwent manipulation only. The small intestine of the latter 2 groups was harvested at E21.5. Specimens were processed for H&E, c-kit and actin (alpha smooth muscle antibody [α-SMA]) immunohistochemistry, and trasmission electron microscopy (TEM).Results
In the controls, SMC were c-kit+ and α-SMA+, with labeling intensity increasing by age. At E21.5, some cells around the Auerbach’s plexus were more intensely c-kit+, and differentiating ICC were seen under TEM at this level. Gastroschisis fetuses had no c-kit+ cells referable to ICC. In the more damaged loops, SMC were very faintly c-kit+ and α-SMA+. Under TEM, there were few differentiated SMC and no presumptive ICC. In the less-damaged loops, SMC were faintly c-kit+ and α-SMA+ and had ultrastructural features intermediate between those of E18.5 and E21.5 controls; ICC were very immature.Conclusions
ICC and SMC differentiation is delayed in gastroschisis with the most damaged loops showing the most incomplete picture. These findings might help in understanding the delayed onset of peristalsis and the variable time-course of the recover seen in babies affected by gastroschisis. 相似文献15.

Objective
To determine the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia (plasma homocysteine[Hcy] concentration ≥15 μmol/L) and evaluate its correlation with allograft function.Materials and Methods
The study included 159 stable renal transplant recipients (104men and 55 women). The prevalence and severity of hyperhomocysteinemia werecompared in the transplant recipients vs 72 patients (48 men and 24 women) receivinghemodialysis therapy.Results
The mean (SD; range) fasting total Hcy concentration was higher in thehemodialysis group compared with the renal transplantation group: 27.4 (18.3; 10-95)μmol/L vs 16.6 (9.5; 4.5-45.0) μmol/L (P = .00). Hyperhomocysteinemia occurred morefrequently in patients receiving hemodialysis therapy (74% vs 49%). No significantcorrelation was observed between Hcy concentration and recipient sex, cyclosporinetrough concentration and concentration at 2 days after dosing, dyslipidemia,cytomegalovirus infection, diabetes mellitus, or aspartate or alanine aminotransferaseconcentration. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that serum creatinineconcentration (P = .02) was the major determinant of increased total Hcy concentration inrenal transplant recipients.Conclusion
A high prevalence of moderate hyperhomocysteinemia was observed in renaltransplant recipients. There was no correlation between graft function and Hcyconcentration. 相似文献16.

Background
Gastroschisis is a congenital full-thickness abdominal wall defect characterized by the protrusion of intraabdominal organs outside the abdominal domain that requires surgical management in the early neonatal period. The goal of this study was to validate a previous risk stratification classification of infants born with this defect.Methods
A retrospective analysis of a nonoverlapping combination of the databases National Inpatient Sample and Kids' Inpatient Database (1988-2003) was performed. These combined databases contain information from nearly 93 million discharges in the United States. Infants with gastroschisis were identified by an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision procedure code of 54.71 (repair of gastroschisis) and an age at admission of less than 8 days. Infants were divided into simple and complex categories based on the absence or presence of intestinal atresia, stenosis, perforation, necrosis, or volvulus. Variables of sex, race, geographic region, coexisting diagnoses, hospital type and charges adjusted to 2005 dollars, length of stay, inpatient mortality, and complications were collected. Comparison between the 2 groups was performed using Pearson χ2 for categorical outcomes and the Kruskal-Wallis test for non-normally distributed continuous variables.Results
A total of 4344 infants with gastroschisis were identified and divided into simple and complex categories. Simple gastroschisis represented 89.1% (n = 3870) of the group, whereas 10.9% (n = 474) had complex disease. Simple and complex patients differed in coexisting cardiac disease (8.3% vs 11.8%, P = .01), hospital type (78.7% vs 84.1% treated at urban teaching centers, P < .01), median length of stay (28 vs 67 days, P < .01), median inflation-adjusted hospital charges ($90,788 vs $197,871; P < .01), and inpatient mortality (2.9% vs 8.7%, P < .01). Gastrointestinal (14.4% vs 83.5%, P < .01), respiratory (2.6% vs 4.6%, P = .01), and infectious disease complications (24.3% vs 45.4%, P < .01) also differed between the groups.Conclusions
These data use the largest data set to date to validate the risk stratification of infants with gastroschisis. This analysis improves the characterization and understanding of clinical subsets of infants in whom this congenital condition is diagnosed. 相似文献17.

Introduction
A new technique of gastroschisis closure in which the defect is covered with sterile dressings and allowed to granulate without suture repair was first described in 2004. Little is known about the outcomes of this technique. This study evaluated short-term outcomes from the largest series of sutureless gastroschisis closures.Methods and Patients
A retrospective case control study of 26 patients undergoing sutureless closure between 2006 and 2008 was compared to a historical control group of 20 patients with suture closure of the abdominal fascia between 2004 and 2006. Four major outcomes were assessed: (1) time spent on ventilator, (2) time to initiating enteral feeds, (3) time to discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit, and (4) rate of complications.Results
In multivariate analysis, sutureless closure of gastroschisis defects independently reduced the time to extubation as compared to traditional closure (5.0 vs 12.1 days, P = .025). There was no difference in time to full enteral feeds (16.8 vs 21.4 days, P = .15) or time to discharge (34.8 vs 49.7 days, P = .22) with sutureless closure. The need for silo reduction independently increased the time to extubation (odds ratio, 4.2; P = .002) and time to enteral feeds (odds ratio, 5.2; P < .001). Small umbilical hernias were seen in all patients.Conclusion
Sutureless closure of uncomplicated gastroschisis is a safe technique that reduces length of intubation and does not significantly alter the time required to reach full enteral feeds or hospital discharge. 相似文献18.

Background/Purpose
The goal in the treatment of gastroschisis is to prevent intestinal injury. Corticosteroids are known by their effects at the inflammatory response and by the improvement on the intestinal maturity. The authors evaluated the effects of maternal corticosteroid administration on the intestines of rats that underwent fetal gastroschisis.Methods
A Correia-Pinto-modified gastroschisis rat model was used. Two groups were assessed: the control group (group 1) and the dexamethasone group (group 2). Each group was composed of control and sham fetuses, and fetuses with gastroschisis. Fetal body weight, intestinal weight, intestinal length, and protein were assessed. Histologic analysis involved measures of intestinal loop diameter, total intestinal wall, mucosa and submucosa, both circular and longitudinal muscle layers, and serosal thicknesses. Differences between groups and subgroups were tested by the analysis of variance method with a significant P value less than .05.Results
Dexamethasone decreased in all the morphometric data except in the intestinal length. Dexamethasone increased the intestinal protein content in fetuses with gastroschisis, and control and sham fetuses. In both groups, all histologic parameters were increased in fetuses with gastroschisis (P < .0001).Conclusions
Dexamethasone caused a substantial decrease in intestinal weight in GFs, increased the intestinal protein content, and it may be useful in decreasing the intestinal damage of gastroschisis. 相似文献19.

Background/Purpose
Conflicting information exists regarding the effects of maternal substance abuse on gastroschisis. The objectives of this study are to determine if maternal smoking is associated with an increased risk of gastroschisis and whether substance abuse is associated with the severity of gastroschisis.Methods
The Canadian Pediatric Surgery Network (CAPSNET) database was evaluated for associations between maternal substance abuse and the severity of the gastroschisis. We also compared smoking rates from this group to overall Canadian maternal smoking rates.Results
One hundred fourteen cases of gastroschisis acquired over 18 months were evaluated. After adjusting for covariates, illicit drug use was associated with bowel necrosis (OR, 9.4; 95% CI,1.3-70) and marijuana use with matting of the intestines (OR, 4.0; 95% CI, 1.0-16). Functional outcomes assessment revealed that slower initiation of enteral feeds was associated with maternal smoking (OR, 3.8; 95% CI, 1.4-10). The overall maternal smoking rate in this cohort (30.7%) was significantly higher than the known Canadian rate (13.4%). This may be accounted for by the considerably higher smoking rate of mothers 20 to 24 years of age in our cohort (48.9%).Conclusions
Substance abuse and smoking are associated with a greater severity of gastroschisis in terms of both the degree of intestinal injury and functional outcomes. High smoking rates among young mothers may be putting children with gastroschisis at risk for poor outcomes. 相似文献20.
