World J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 15:1317-1330. [PMID: 37555121 PMCID: PMC10405109 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i7.1317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevention and treatment of Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is a serious challenge in pediatric surgery. Exploring the mechanism of HAEC is conducive to the prevention of this disease. AIM To explore the possible mechanism of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and its therapeutic effect on HAEC. METHODS We developed a model of enteritis induced by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) in zebrafish, and treated it with different concentrations of GA. We analyzed the effect of GA on the phenotype and inflammation of zebrafish. RESULTS After treatment with TNBS, the area of the intestinal lumen in zebrafish was significantly increased, but the number of goblet cells in the intestinal lumen was significantly reduced, but these did not increase the mortality of zebrafish, indicating that the zebrafish enteritis model was successfully developed. Different concentrations of GA protected zebrafish with enteritis. In particular, high concentrations of GA were important for the prevention and control of HAEC because it significantly reduced the intestinal luminal area, increased the number of goblet cells in the intestinal lumen, and reduced the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-8. CONCLUSION GA significantly reduced the intestinal luminal area, increased the number of intestinal goblet cells, and decreased IL-1β and IL-8 in zebrafish, and is important for prevention and control of HAEC.

Ann Surg Treat Res 2023; 105:57-62. [PMID: 37441321 PMCID: PMC10333807 DOI: 10.4174/astr.2023.105.1.57] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Although surgical management of Hirschsprung disease (HD) is effective in most patients, some patients experience long-term postoperative complications, and require redo pull-through (PT). The present study evaluated clinical outcomes of redo PT in HD patients at a single center. Methods Patients with HD who underwent redo PT procedures between 2003 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Thirteen patients were included. Five (38.5%) had undergone initial PT surgery at our center and 8 (61.5%) at other centers. Redo PT procedures were transanal endorectal PT in 12 patients (92.3%) and the posterior sagittal approach in 1 patient (7.7%). Indications for redo PT included pathologic misdiagnosis in 8 patients (61.5%); stricture in 2 (15.4%); and rectal stenosis, obstructing Duhamel pouch and remnant septum in 1 each (7.7%). At a median follow-up of 68 months (range, 3-227 months) after redo PT, 8 patients (61.5%) had normal bowel function, 2 (15.4%) had incontinence, and 1 (7.7%) had constipation. Conclusion Redo PT procedures could be an effective approach for improving obstructive symptoms in HD patients with anatomic or pathologic reasons following primary PT. Careful selection of patients and discreet indications for redo PT are crucial.
