[Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease in a girl].

A 5-year-old girl was admitted due to one episode of melena and one episode of hematemesis. Upon admission, gastroscopy revealed esophageal and gastric varices. Abdominal CT scan, MRI, and color Doppler ultrasound suggested cirrhosis, intrahepatic bile duct dilation, and bilateral kidney enlargement.

[Value of combined measurement of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein and fecal calprotectin in diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis in full-term neonates].

Objective: To study the value of combined measurement of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) and fecal calprotectin (FC) in the diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in full-term neonates.

Methods: A total of 36 full-term neonates with NEC (case group) and 39 neonates without digestive system diseases (control group) were enrolled as study subjects. ELISA was used to measure the serum I-FABP level and fecal FC level, and the clinical value of I-FABP combined with FC in the diagnosis of NEC was evaluated.

[Clinical significance of serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein in full-term infants with necrotizing enterocolitis].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) in full-term newborn infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

Methods: Forty-one full-term infants with a confirmed diagnosis of NEC from February 2012 to January 2014 were recruited as case group (stage I: 24 cases; stage II-III: 17 cases). Sixty-two children diagnosed with non-digestive diseases in the same period were recruited as the control group.
