Abstract
In recent years, docosahexaenoic acid-containing phospholipids (DHA-PLs) have attracted much attention because of theirs unique health benefits. Compared with other forms of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), DHA-PLs possess superior biological effects (e.g., anticancer, lipid metabolism regulation, visual development, and brain and nervous system biochemical reactions), more intricate metabolism mechanisms, and a stronger attraction to consumer. The production of DHA-PLs is hampered by several challenges associated with the limited content of DHA-PLs in natural sources, incomplete utilization of by-products, few microorganisms for DHA-PLs production, high cost, and complex process of artificial preparation of DHA-PLs. In this article, the sources, biological activities, and commercial applications of DHA-PLs were summarized, with intensive discussions on advantages of DHA-PLs over DHA, isomerism of DHA in phospholipids (PLs), and brain health. The excellent biological characteristics of DHA-PLs are primarily concerned with DHA and PLs. The metabolic fate of different DHA-PLs varies from the position of DHA in PLs to polar groups in DHA-PLs. Overall, well understanding of DHA-PLs about their sources and characteristics is critical to accelerate the production of DHA-PLs, economically enhance the value of DHA-PLs, and improve the applicability of DHA-PLs and the acceptance of consumers.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe visual function and ocular manifestations in patients with onset of cholestasis during the neonatal period. METHODS Patients with neonatal cholestasis, either transitory or chronic, who came for assessment to our tertiary referral centre were included in a cross-sectional study and underwent ophthalmological examinations including fundus photography. A total of 57 patients (24 girls and 33 boys), aged 0.4-18.0 years, were included. Of these, 28 patients had biliary atresia, 11 had Alagille's syndrome, five had progressive familiar intrahepatic cholestasis and nine had different disorders such as pituitary insufficiency, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, mitochondriopathy, congenital infections or cholestasis caused by unknown reasons. RESULTS Visual dysfunction and/or one or several ocular manifestations occurred in 39 out of 57 patients. Major ocular malformations occurred in five patients. Out of three patients with biliary atresia, one patient had severe visual impairment caused by microphthalmia and chorioretinal coloboma, one patient with Cat Eye syndrome had bilateral uveochorioretinal coloboma and one patient had Rieger's anomaly. Two patients, both with pituitary deficiency and transient cholestasis, had severe unilateral visual impairment caused by optic nerve hypoplasia. CONCLUSION The majority (68%) of the patients with cholestasis had ocular manifestations. Although the severity of ocular complications varied with diagnosis, and was most apparent among patients with biliary atresia or pituitary deficiency, no conclusion can be drawn regarding the connections between these conditions from the present study. Nevertheless, ocular assessment is important for diagnostic purposes and for early intervention in patients with cholestasis.

Abstract
Long-chain PUFA (LCP) deficiency is a frequent complication in cholestatic infants. We investigated the effects of LCP-supplemented formula on EFA status in infants with cholestasis. Twenty-three infants with cholestasis (biliary atresia after surgery, 8; intrahepatic cholestasis, 15) aged 1.9 to 4.9 mon (median 3.1 mon) were randomized to receive commercial infant formulas either without LCP or with LCP from egg phospholipids for 1 mon. Liver tests, nutrient intakes, and plasma phospholipid FA (%w/w) were determined at baseline and after intervention. At baseline, patients had high serum direct bilirubin levels (5.9 +/- 3.0 mg/dL; mean +/- SD), they were malnourished (body fat mass: 40 +/- 13% of normal) and presented with PUFA deficiency [plasma phospholipid PUFA: 28.43%w/w (26.56-30.53) in patients vs. 37.02%w/w (34.53-39.58) in controls; median (1st-3rd quartile)] with elevated Mead acid and palmitoleic acid. LCP-supplemented (n = 11) and -nonsupplemented groups (n = 12) did not differ in age, indicators of liver function, and EFA status at baseline. After the intervention, LCP-supplemented infants had higher levels of arachidonic acid [7.2 (5.9-8.8) vs. 4.2 (3.0-5.3) %w/w; P < 0.001] and DHA [2.8 (2.2-3.2) vs. 1.6 (1.0-2.1) %w/w; P < 0.05], accompanied by increased TBARS concentration: 1.9 (1.4-2.2) vs. 1.3 (1.1-1.6) nmol/mL; P < 0.05]. We concluded that LCP-supplemented formulae improve LCP status of infants with severe cholestasis but may enhance lipid peroxidation.
