Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-saving procedure conducted to maintain a proper nutritional state in patients with severe intestinal failure who cannot be fed orally. A serious complication of PN therapy is liver failure, known as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). The pathogenesis of IFALD is multifactorial and includes inhibition of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) by PN components, bacteria translocation from impaired intestines, and intravenous line-associated bloodstream infection. Currently, the most frequently researched therapeutic option for IFALD is using lipid emulsions based on soy or fish oil and, therefore, free from phytosterols known as FXR antagonists. Nevertheless, the potential side effects of the lack of soybean oil delivery seem to outweigh the benefits, especially in the pediatric population. PN admixture provides all the necessary nutrients; however, it is deprived of exogenous natural bioactive compounds (NBCs) of plant origin, such as polyphenols, characterized by health-promoting properties. Among them, many substances have already been known to demonstrate the hepatoprotective effect in various liver diseases. Therefore, searching for new therapeutic options for IFALD among NBCs seems reasonable and potentially successful. This review summarizes the recent research on polyphenols and their use in treating various liver diseases, especially metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver diseases (MASLD). Furthermore, based on scientific reports, we have described the molecular mechanism of action of selected NBCs that exert hepatoprotective properties. We also summarized the current knowledge on IFALD pathogenesis, described therapeutic options undergoing clinical trials, and presented the future perspective of the potential use of NBCs in PN therapy.

Abstract
Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) is a progressive liver disease complicating intestinal failure (IF). It is a preventable and reversible condition, but at the same time, a potential cause of liver cirrhosis and an indication to combined or non-combined liver and small bowel transplantation. The diagnostic criteria are not yet standardized, so that its prevalence varies widely in the literature. Pathophysiology seems to be multifactorial, related to different aspects of intestinal failure and not only to the long-term parenteral nutrition treatment. The survival rates of children with IF have increased, so that the main problems today are preventing complications and ensuring a good quality of life. IFALD is one of the most important factors that limit long-term survival of patients with IF. For this reason, more and more interest is developing around it and the number of published articles is increasing rapidly. The purpose of this narrative review was to focus on the main aspects of the etiology, pathophysiology, management, prevention, and treatment of IFALD, based on what has been published mainly in the last 10 years. Controversies and current research gaps will be highlighted with the aim to pave the way for new project and high-quality clinical trials.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition constitutes a life-saving therapeutic tool in patients unable to ingest/absorb oral or enteral delivered nutrients. Liver function tests abnormalities are a common therapy-related complication, thus configuring the so-called Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease (PNALD) or cholestasis (PNAC). Although the damage is frequently mild, and resolves after discontinuation of parenteral nutrition, in some cases it progresses into cirrhotic changes, especially in neonates and infants. We present a literature review focusing on the pathogenetic mechanisms-driven prevention and therapies for the cases where parenteral nutrition cannot be discontinued. Ursodeoxycholic acid has been proposed in patients with cholestatic hepatopathy, but its efficacy needs to be better established. Little evidence is available on efficacy of anti-oxidants, antibiotics, probiotics and anti TNFα. Lipid emulsions based on fish oil with a high content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ω-3 appear effective both in decreasing intrahepatic inflammation and in improving biliary flow. Most recent promising variations such as soybean/MCT/olive/fish oil emulsion [third generation lipid emulsion (SMOFlipid)] are under investigation. In conclusion, we remark the emergence of a number of novel pathomechanisms underlying the severe liver impairment damage (PNALD and PNAC) in patients treated with parenteral nutrition. Only few traditional and innovative therapeutic strategies have hitherto been shown promising.

Assessment and outcome of children with intestinal failure referred for intestinal transplantation. Clin Nutr 2014; 34:428-35.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic intestinal failure (CIF) requires long term parenteral nutrition (PN) and, in some patients, intestinal transplantation (ITx). Indications and timing for ITx remain poorly defined. In the present study we aimed to analyze causes and outcome of children with CIF. METHODS 118 consecutive patients referred to our institution were assessed by a multidisciplinary team and four different categories were defined retrospectively based on their clinical course: Group 1: patients with reversible intestinal failure; group 2: patients unsuitable for ITx, group 3: patients listed for ITx; group 4: patients stable under PN. Analysis involved comparison between groups for nutritional status, central venous catheter (CVC) related complications, liver disease, and outcome after transplantation by using non parametric tests, Mann-Whitney tests, Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon signed rank tests and chi square distribution for percentage. RESULTS 118 children (72 boys) with a median age of 15 months at referral (2 months-16 years) were assessed. Etiology of IF was short bowel syndrome [n = 47], intractable diarrhea of infancy [n = 37], total intestinal aganglionosis [n = 18], and chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction [n = 17]. Most patients (89.8%) were totally PN dependent, with 48 children (40.7%) on home-PN prior to admission. Nutritional status was poor with a median body weight at -1.5 z-score (ranges: -5 to +2.5) and median length at -2.0 z-score (ranges: -5.5 to +2.3). The mean number of CVC inserted per patient was 5.2 (range 1-20) and the mean number of CRS per patient was 5.5 (median: 5; range 0-12) Fifty-five patients (46.6%) had thrombosis of ≥2 main venous axis. At admission 34.7% of patients had elevated bilirubin (≥50 μmol/l), and 19.5% had platelets <100,000/ml, and 15% had both. Liver biopsy performed in 79 children was normal (n = 4), or showed F1 or F2 fibrosis (n = 29), bridging fibrosis F3 (n = 20), or cirrhosis (n = 26). Group 1 included 10 children finally weaned from PN (7-years survival: 100%). Group 2 included 12 children with severe liver disease and associated disorders unsuitable for transplantation (7-years survival: 16.6%). Group 3 included 66 patients (56%) who were listed for small bowel or liver-small bowel transplantation, 62/66 have been transplanted (7 years survival: 74.6%). Factors influencing outcome after liver-ITx were body weight (p < .004), length (p < .001), pre-Tx bilirubin plasma level (p < .001) and thrombosis (p < .01) for isolated ITx, Group 4 included 30 children (25.4%) with irreversible IF considered as potential candidates for isolated ITx. Four children were lost from follow up and 3 died within 2 years (survival 88.5%). Among potential candidates, the following parameters improved significantly during the first 12 months of follow up: Body weight (p.0001), length (p < .0001) and bilirubin (p < .0001). CONCLUSIONS many patients had a poor nutritional status with severe complications especially liver disease. PN related complications were the most relevant indication for ITx, but also a negative predictor for outcome. Early patient referral for Tx-assessment might help to identify and separate children with irreversible IF from children with transient IF or uncomplicated long-term PN, allowing to adapt a patient-based treatment strategy including or not ITx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM A select group of children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) and intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) fulfill the criteria for isolated liver transplantation (iLTx). Long-term results in this group of patients have not been reported. METHODS A retrospective study of the medical records of 8 survivors of 14 children who underwent iLTx for SBS and IFALD from 1998 to 2005, managed by a multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation team at our institution. RESULTS Median follow-up is 107.5 months (range 89-153 months). Five of 8 children were weaned from parenteral nutrition (PN) to enteral nutrition (EN) in a median of 10 months after iLTx (range 3-32 months). Three of 5 children were subsequently weaned from EN to full oral feeding in 13, 24, and 53 months after stopping PN, whereas the remaining 2 are still receiving EN 118 and 74 months after stopping PN. These 5 children maintain their weight median z scores with a median increase of 1.59 (range 1.24-1.79) compared with the pretransplant z score, whereas the height z scores show fluctuations through the years with a median change of 0.12 (range -0.29 to 0.36). The other 3 of 8 children developed progressive intestinal failure; 2 underwent isolated small bowel transplantation 112 and 84 months after iLTx and the third is receiving PN. CONCLUSIONS Children with SBS and IFALD who have the potential for adaptation in the residual bowel can undergo iLTx, but it is a treatment option to be exercised with extreme caution. These children need close follow-up with an experienced multidisciplinary team to monitor nutritional outcomes and may need consideration for transplant or nontransplant surgery in the long term.
