Background: Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis due to citrin deficiency (NICCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by SLC25A13 genetic mutations. We retrospectively analyzed 26 Chinese infants with NICCD (years 2014-2022) in Quanzhou City.

Methods: The plasma citrulline (CIT) concentration analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), biochemical parameters and molecular analysis results are presented.

Results: Twelve genotypes were discovered. The relationship between the CIT concentration and genotype is uncertain. In total, 8 mutations were detected, with 4 variations, c.851_854delGTAT, c.615 + 5G > A, c.1638_1660dup and IVS16ins3kb, constituting the high-frequency mutations. Specifically, we demonstrated 2 patients with NICCD combined with another inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Patient No. 22 possessed compound heterozygous mutations of c.615 + 5G > A and c.790G > A in the SLC25A13 gene accompanied by compound heterozygous variations of c.C259T and c.A155G in the PTS gene. Additionally, Patient No. 26 carried c.51C > G and c.760C > T in the SLC22A5 gene as well as c.615 + 5G > A and IVS16ins3kb in the SLC25A13 gene.

Conclusions: We report a case of the simultaneous occurrence of primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) and NICCD.

Background: The Kasai procedure (KPE) is an important treatment for biliary atresia (BA), the most common cause of neonatal obstructive jaundice.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of robotic-assisted Kasai portoenterostomy (RAKPE) in patients with BA.

Methods: Clinical data of 10 patients with BA who underwent RAKPE at the Seventh Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital between December 2018 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.

Microcystin-RR is a biliary toxin selective for neonatal extrahepatic cholangiocytes.

Background & Aims: Biliary atresia is a fibrosing cholangiopathy affecting neonates that is thought to result from a prenatal environmental insult to the bile duct. Biliatresone, a plant toxin with an α-methylene ketone group, was previously implicated in biliary atresia in Australian livestock, but is found in a limited location and is unlikely to be a significant human toxin. We hypothesized that other unsaturated carbonyl compounds, some with the potential for significant human exposure, might also be biliary toxins.

Predictive efficacy of machine-learning algorithms on intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy based on clinical and laboratory indicators.

Key Laboratory of Precision Diagnosis and Therapy for Major Gynecological Diseases, Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.

Objectives: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a condition exclusive to pregnancy, necessitates prompt identification and intervention to improve the perinatal outcomes. This study aims to develop suitable machine-learning models for predicting ICP based on clinical and laboratory indicators.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed data from 1092 pregnant women, with 537 diagnosed with ICP and 555 healthy cases as a control.

A recent nonsyndromic phenotype, newly linked to mutations in the ZFYVE19 gene, is characterized by the appearance of cholestasis accompanied by an increase in serum gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) from infancy or early childhood. Affected individuals generally present with hepatosplenomegaly and may develop portal hypertension. The disease is thought to be the result of cholangiocyte-specific ciliary dysfunction, indicating a ciliopathy that appears to be limited to the liver.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to evaluate the link between rising bile acid levels in pregnancies affected by cholestasis and their adverse outcomes.
  • Researchers examined a group of pregnancies from 2005-2019, categorizing them based on bile acid levels and comparing the incidence of negative outcomes like preterm labor and cesarean deliveries.
  • The results showed that both progressive and severe cholestasis were linked to worsened outcomes compared to mild cholestasis, emphasizing the importance of monitoring peak bile acid levels during pregnancy.
