Objective: To evaluate the association between enteral sodium supplementation on growth and hypertension (HTN) in preterm infants.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of infants born between 22-32 weeks and weighing 450-1500 grams (N = 821). Enteral sodium supplementation amounts, systolic blood pressures (SBP), weight gain, and other infant and maternal risk factors for HTN were electronically extracted.

Results: Infants receiving sodium supplementation were smaller and less mature. Sodium supplementation improved serum sodium levels, weight gain, and head circumference growth without causing hypernatremia. There was no correlation between urine and serum sodium or urine sodium and weight gain. Although infants receiving sodium had higher average SBP and rates of HTN, analysis demonstrated sodium supplementation did not increase odds of hypertension (OR 1.02;0.64-1.64). Postnatal steroids were associated with HTN.

Conclusions: In preterm infants with poor weight gain, enteral sodium supplementation improved growth without increasing hypertension or hypernatremia.

A 69-year-old Japanese man developed abdominal pain, purpura, proteinuria, and hematuria while receiving treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. A skin biopsy revealed IgA-positive leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and a renal biopsy showed IgA-positive mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation. Based on these findings, we diagnosed IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) and initiated treatment.

Glycans are known to be fundamental for many cellular and physiological functions. Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) currently encompassing over 160 subtypes, are characterized by glycan synthesis and/or processing defects. Despite the increasing number of CDG patients, therapeutic options remain very limited as our knowledge on glycan synthesis is fragmented.

Current strategies for improving energy supply in hypobaric hypoxic environments are limited. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of four carbohydrates with different levels of digestibility on energy metabolism in vivo in hypobaric hypoxic environments. First, we characterized the four types of carbohydrates.

This study focuses on the effects of different levels of sodium selenite on the growth, selenium content, and antioxidant capacity of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens). The experiment used different doses of sodium selenite for treatment, including a basic diet with no supplements (control) and diets supplemented with 10 mg/kg (Se10), 20 mg/kg (Se20), 30 mg/kg (Se30), and 40 mg/kg (Se40) sodium selenite, and results show that sodium selenite supplementation significantly increases selenium content and improves selenium utilization and antioxidant capacity (P < 0.05).
