Parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) is a severe complication of parenteral nutrition. Standard feed preparations contain soybean and olive oil that are rich in ω-6 polyunsaturated fats, and which studies suggest can be hepatotoxic. Preparations containing fish oil, rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fats, may be hepatoprotective and have been used in the critical care setting as immunotherapy. A case demonstrating dramatic improvement in liver function and overall clinical condition in an adult with PNAC and intestinal failure within 8 weeks of changing to a fish oil-based parenteral feed is reported. As far as is known, this is the first report of an adult patient whose parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease resolved after a parenteral nutrition lipid emulsion was changed to the fish oil-containing emulsion, SMOFlipid.

Fish oil lipid emulsion compared with soybean oil lipid emulsion in pediatric patients with parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis: A cost-effectiveness study.

Objectives: Evidence indicates that, in pediatric patients with parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC), the use of a 100% fish oil lipid emulsion (FOLE) increased the likelihood of PNAC resolution and reduced the likelihood of liver transplantation compared with a 100% soybean oil lipid emulsion (SOLE). To evaluate the potential economic benefit, we conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing FOLE with SOLE.

Study Design: A discrete event simulation model evaluated cost-effectiveness by simulating clinical outcomes and estimating associated healthcare costs in pediatric patients with PNAC receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) with FOLE (1 g/kg) or SOLE (1.

Background: Parenteral nutrition (PN) plays a crucial role in nutrition support therapy, yet data on related adverse events (AEs) in practical settings are scarce. To address this, we analyzed AE signals associated with PN treatment from the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.

Methods: We extracted data from the FAERS database, covering the period from the first quarter (Q1) of 2004 to Q1 of 2024.

Phytosterol Depletion in Soybean Oil Using a Synthetic Silica Adsorbent.

Foods

October 2024

Department of Characterization and Quality of Lipids, Instituto de la Grasa-CSIC, 41013 Seville, Spain.

Phytosterols in vegetable oils have gained attention for their nutritional benefits in foods and food supplements. However, the use of vegetable oils in emulsions for infant formulas and parenteral nutrition has raised some concerns, as phytosterols may contribute to phytosterolemia in the case of infant formulas and, in a second scenario, to parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease. The present study proposes removing phytosterols from soybean oil using a synthetic amorphous silica Trisyl (E551) as an adsorbent material.

To explore the disease spectrum and corresponding clinical indicators of infantile cholestasis so as to provide a basis for the diagnosis of this type of disease at an early stage. The clinical data was collected from 203 hospitalized children diagnosed with infantile cholestasis at the Department of Gastroenterology of Maternal and Child Health Care, Guiyang City, from January 2018 to March 2023, including 130 males and 73 females. Patients general condition, personal history, and blood biochemical test indicators, including liver and coagulation function, blood ammonia, blood lipid profile, blood sugar, TORCH, thyroid function, and others, were retrospectively analyzed after admission.
