J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2017 Mar;64(3):413-417. Abstract OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the effects of some probiotics on sonographic and biochemical nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD). METHODS: This randomized triple-blind trial was conducted among 64 obese children with sonographic NAFLD. They were randomly allocated to receive probiotic capsule (containing Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC B3208, 3 × 10 colony forming units [CFU]; Bifidobacterium lactis DSMZ 32269, 6 × 10 CFU; Bifidobacterium bifidum ATCC SD6576, 2 × 10 CFU; Lactobacillus rhamnosus DSMZ 21690, 2 × 10 CFU) or placebo for 12 weeks.

Serum uric acid concentrations and fructose consumption are independently associated with NASH in children and adolescents https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28214020 Mosca A, Nobili V, De Vito R, Crudele A, Scorletti E, Villani A, Alisi A, Byrne CD. J Hepatol. 2017 Feb 6. pii: S0168-8278(17)30002-8 Abstract BACKGROUND & AIMS: Recent research has suggested that dietary fructose intake may increase serum uric acid (UA) concentrations. Both UA concentration and fructose consumption maybe also increase in NAFLD. It is not known whether dietary fructose consumption and UA concentration are independently associated with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Our aim was to investigate the factors associated with NASH in children and adolescents with proven NAFLD, and to test whether UA concentrations and fructose consumption are independently associated with NASH.

Indian J Pediatr. 2017 Feb 24. doi: 10.1007/s12098-017-2310-8. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool to quantify liver and cardiac iron in Indian population with thalassemia major, and correlate liver and cardiac iron values with that of serum ferritin (SF).

Cognitive Abilities of Children With Neurological and Liver Forms of Wilson Disease https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27482767 Favre E, Lion-François L, Canton M, Vanlemmens C, Bonneton M, Bouillet L, Brunet AS, Lachaux A.

J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2017 Feb;64(2):194-199. Abstract OBJECTIVES: Pediatric literature on spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is limited. We evaluated the prevalence, subtypes, clinical profile, and effect on outcome of ascitic fluid infection (AFI) in children with liver disease. METHODS: Children with liver disease-related ascites and subjected to paracentesis were classified as no-AFI and AFI (SBP, culture-negative neutrocytic ascites [CNNA], and monomicrobial non-neutrocytic bacterascites). Clinical and laboratory parameters, in-hospital mortality, and outcome in follow-up were noted. RESULTS: Published on: Jan-2017 Read more
Prevalence and Significance of Autoantibodies in Children With Acute Liver Failure https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27496798 Narkewicz MR, Horslen S, Belle SH, Rudnick DA, Ng VL, Rosenthal P, Romero R, Loomes KM, Zhang S, Hardison RM, Squires RH; Pediatric Acute Liver Failure Study Group.. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2017 Feb;64(2):210-217. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the present study is to estimate autoantibody (auto-AB) frequency, clinical characteristics, and 21-day outcome of participants in the Pediatric Acute Liver Failure Study Group (PALFSG) by antinuclear antibody, smooth muscle antibody, and liver-kidney microsomal (LKM) antibody status. METHODS: Auto-ABs were determined at local and/or central laboratories. Subjects were assigned to autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), indeterminate, and other diagnoses groups.
