The authors discuss the results of 211 operations for Hirschsprung's disease with special reference to the optimal terms for surgery, questions of medical policy and remote results. The remote results were studied in 102 patients. Excellent results were obtained in 63% of cases, good--in 28% and in 9% the results were satisfactory. The authors make special accent on residual functional disorders and necessary rehabilitation measures till full recovery of the patient.

Magnesium ions regulate the Warburg effect to promote the differentiation of enteric neural crest cells into neurons.
Stem Cell Res Ther
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Background: Understanding how enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) differentiate into neurons is crucial for neurogenesis therapy and gastrointestinal disease research. This study explores how magnesium ions regulate the glycolytic pathway to enhance ENCCs differentiation into neurons.
Materials And Methods: We used polymerase chain reaction, western blot, immunofluorescence, and multielectrode array techniques to assess magnesium ions' impact on ENCCs differentiation.

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is the most common congenital motility disorder of the intestine, characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses, leading to functional bowel obstruction. Short-segment Hirschsprung disease (SS-HSCR) accounts for the majority of cases, with surgical resection being the cornerstone of treatment. Despite advances in surgical techniques, considerable variability exists in practice regarding the timing of surgery, the choice of technique, and the length of aganglionic rectal cuff to resect.

Pediatric Surgery Division, Department of Surgery/Genetics Working Group/Translational Research Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada/Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, 55281, Indonesia.
Background: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a multifactorial disorder due to the enteric nervous system (ENS) development failure. At least 35 genes have been responsible for HSCR, including EDNRB and EDN3. Here, we aimed to determine the EDRNB and EDN3 expressions effects in HSCR subjects.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.
Purpose: Research proved the beneficial effect of Zinc on human health and Gastrointestinal tract inflammatory diseases. We propose that zinc would be of value in children with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) undergoing elective pull-through surgery. This study was carried out to determine the influence of preoperative zinc intake on postoperative outcomes, especially the hospital length of stay in patients diagnosed with HD as a primary outcome.

Nonylphenol (NP), a ubiquitous environmental contaminant used as a surfactant in industrial production and classified as an endocrine disruptor, could interfere hormone secretion and exhibit neurotoxicity in organisms. Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR), one of the most frequently observed congenital malformations of the digestive system, arises mainly due to the failure of enteric neural crest cells to migrate to the distal colon during embryonic development. However, the effects of NP exposure on HSCR are largely unknown.
