Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in promoting fracture healing in animal models. METHODS Mouse models with muscle bag heterotopic osteogenesis (HO) were divided into a HO control group (not implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material), and a HO observation group (implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material); while rat models with bone defect (BD) were divided into a BD control group (not implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material) and a BD observation group (implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material). At 4 weeks after HO establishment, the new bone formation at the operation site was observed through visual inspections and X-ray scanning. The content of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The formation of new bone at the operative sites was observed by Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson staining. At 0, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after operation, the growth of the defect area and its surrounding callus were observed by X-ray scanning. At 4 and 8 weeks after bone defect establishment in the mouse models, the histological changes and osteogenesis of the bone defect site were observed. RESULTS The heterotopic osteogenesis experiment showed that at 4 weeks after operation, the mass at the muscle bag in the HO observation group became larger in contrast to the HO control group. X-ray scanning showed that there was obvious irregular bone shadow at the back muscle bag of mice from the HO observation group. The content of serum ALP in the HO observation group was significantly higher than that in the HO control group (all P<0.05). The muscle pocket in the HO observation group showed higher ectopic osteogenic activity comparing with the HO control group. Histological staining showed that bone tissue structure was visible in the newly regenerated bone, forming bone trabeculae and bone marrow tissue. Under the microscope, a large number of osteoblasts arranged neatly in a cubic shape presented at the edge of the new bone, and there were bone lacunae formed, and the bone tissue was in a relatively mature stage. In the rat bone defect models, X-ray scanning showed that the high-density development area was further increased. There was a large amount of callus formation in the bone defect area of the BD observation group, while the BD control group still had no high-density development. At 8 weeks after operation, the high-density development area decreased, indicating that there was partial absorption of callus, while there was still no high-density development in the BD control group. The callus of the bone defect area in the BD observation group was reduced and the defect area was gradually repaired, while the bone defect in the BD control group was still obvious and the bone repair was not completed. CONCLUSIONS BMP-2 could promote osteoblast differentiation and bone defect osteogenesis in vivo. Thus, it is worthy of clinical application.

Clinics (Sao Paulo) 2023; 78:100198. [PMID: 37075514 PMCID: PMC10126911 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinsp.2023.100198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hirschsprung's Disease (HD) is characterized by intestinal sub-occlusion and the absence of enteric ganglion cells. A rectal biopsy examination is performed to confirm the diagnosis. In a recent study, we demonstrated that the analysis of 60 sections of rectal mucosa and submucosa stained by H&E may ensure a 90% diagnostic accuracy. Although the need to analyze so many sections makes the process of reading the slides more time-consuming, this encouraged us to study their distribution in the healthy rectal submucosa, to simplify the diagnosis. OBJECTIVES To develop a method that facilitates HD diagnosis by studying the distribution of ganglion cells in the submucosal plexus. METHODS Using the calretinin technique, we studied the distribution of plexuses in 60 fragments of rectal submucosa from 19 cadavers. After the study, the reading method created was used for diagnosis in 47 cases of suspected HD, using H&E staining. The accuracy was verified by comparing the results obtained with H&E to those obtained with the acetylcholinesterase technique, the golden standard in our laboratory. RESULTS The study of submucosal plexus distribution showed that just by examining the submucosal region every 20 µm, approximately, it is possible to locate a ganglionic plexus, and we have already been able to diagnose HD with 93% accuracy. CONCLUSION The study of ganglion cell distribution enabled the creation of a simplified method for reading the slides. The method applied achieved good accuracy and it can be used as an alternative method in HD diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemistry has been widely performed for the histopathological diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease (HD). However, we occasionally come across diagnostic difficulties. We conducted concurrent AChE histochemistry and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining to validate the ancillary value of this technique. METHODS Of 177 patients diagnosed using AChE histochemistry from January 2014 to December 2016, 90 patients underwent formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded HE staining. The histopathological findings and diagnostic abilities were investigated and compared retrospectively. RESULTS The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and kappa index of AChE histochemistry and HE staining were 94.1%, 100%, 98.9%, and 0.964 and 76.5%, 84.9%, 83.3%, and 0.530, respectively. The specificity, accuracy and kappa index of AChE histochemistry were significantly higher than those of HE staining (P < 0.001, <0.001, and <0.05). Hematoxylin and eosin staining supported the suspected diagnosis of total colon aganglionosis at the initial biopsy; furthermore, HE staining helped confirm the distinct shape of ganglion cells and hypertrophic nerve bundles. CONCLUSION We re-confirmed that AChE histochemistry is an excellent method for diagnosing HD. Although the diagnostic ability of HE staining is limited, it has acceptable utility as an ancillary method. Thus, AChE staining is a useful test and it should be performed together with HE staining.

Abstract
Tungsten trioxide nanoparticles (WO3 NPs) have shown increasing promise in biological and biomedical fields in recent years. However, their possible hazards, especially the adverse effects related to their sizes on human health and environment, are still yet poorly understood. In this study, we compared the hepatotoxicity in mice induced by WO3 nanorods of two different lengths (125-200 nm and 0.8-2 μm) via intraperitoneal injection, and explored the protective role of melatonin, an antioxidant, against the hepatotoxicity. The results showed that 10 mg/kg/day of shorter WO3 nanorods could cause obvious hepatic function impairment, histopathological lesions, and significant enhancement in levels of oxidative stress and inflammation in mouse liver. However, similar effects were found only in the 20 mg/kg/day longer WO3 nanorods-treated mice, and these adverse effects were attenuated by pretreatment with melatonin. These findings indicate that WO3 nanorods can exert hepatotoxicity in mice in a dose- and length-dependent manner, and that shorter WO3 nanorods cause more severe hepatotoxicity than their longer counterparts. Melatonin could serve as an effective protective agent against the longer WO3 nanorods-induced hepatotoxicity by decreasing the oxidative stress level. This study is important for determining the environmental and human health risks of exposure to WO3 NPs and their size-dependent toxicity, and provides an appealing strategy to avoid the adverse effects. WO3 nanorods with different lengths can exert hepatotoxicity in mice, in a dose- and length-dependent manner. Short WO3 nanorods causes more severe hepatic injury than long ones. Melatonin exhibits an effectively protective effects against WO3 nanorods-induced hepatic injury through reducing the oxidative stress level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cluster genes, specifically the class 3 semaphorins (SEMA3) including SEMA3C, have been associated with the development of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) in Caucasian populations. We aimed to screen for rare and common variants in SEMA3C in Indonesian patients with HSCR. METHODS In this prospective clinical study, we analyzed SEMA3C gene variants in 55 patients with HSCR through DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses. RESULTS Two variants in SEMA3C were found: p.Val337Met (rs1527482) and p.Val579 = (rs2272351). The rare variant rs1527482 (A) was significantly overrepresented in our HSCR patients (9.1%) compared with South Asian controls in the 1000 Genomes (4.7%) and Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC; 3.5%) databases. Our analysis using bioinformatics tools predicted this variant to be evolutionarily conserved and damaging to SEMA3C protein function. Although the frequency of the other variant, rs2272351 (G), also differed significantly in Indonesian patients with HSCR (27.3%) from that in South Asian controls in 1000 Genomes (6.2%) and ExAC (4.6%), it is a synonymous variant and not likely to affect protein function. CONCLUSIONS This is the first comprehensive report of SEMA3C screening in patients of Asian ancestry with HSCR and identifies rs1527482 as a possible disease risk allele in this population.

Abstract
Background The growth of children with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) can be affected by many factors, including the environment, nutrient intake, and surgery. Our study compared the long-term (i.e., at least 3 years of follow-up) growth outcomes in HSCR children after transabdominal Soave and Duhamel and transanal endorectal pull-through (TEPT) surgeries. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in children <18 years of age diagnosed histopathologically with HSCR who underwent pull-through between January 1, 2012-December 31, 2015 in our institution. The postoperative anthropometric data were obtained prospectively through interviews during the outpatient clinic appointment or by telephone. Results We recruited 21 patients (Soave: 7 vs. Duhamel: 4 vs. TEPT: 10; p = 0.06). There were no significant differences between the three surgical methods in terms of preoperative and postoperative nutritional status categories (p = 0.52). Concerning the changes in nutritional status, after Soave surgery, it was improved, steady, and worsened in 28.6%, 57.1%, and 14.3% of the children, respectively. The nutritional status of the Duhamel group was worsened and steady in 25% and 75% of the children, respectively, while in the TEPT group, it was improved and steady in 40% and 60% of the children, respectively. However, these differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.42). Conclusions While some HSCR children show an improvement in their nutritional status after Soave and TEPT procedures, the overall nutritional status is similar among different procedures. Further multicenter studies with a larger sample size are important to clarify our findings.

Abstract
Objective While frozen section methods have been widely conducted to determine aganglionosis segment during transanal endorectal pull-through (TEPT) for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) patients in most institutions, some hospitals still rely on contrast enema to predict aganglionosis segments due to unavailability of frozen section facilities. We determined the accuracy of transition zone in contrast enema to predict aganglionosis segments during TEPT. We retrospectively reviewed all contrast enema and frozen sections for HSCR patients under 2 years of age who underwent TEPT at our institution. Results We recruited 36 HSCR patients: twenty-six patients (72.2%) had radiographic transition zones limited to rectum, while ten subjects (27.8%) were limited to rectosigmoid. The rectum subgroup of patients showed a concordance of 30.8%, whereas the rectosigmoid subgroup had a concordance of 100%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of contrast enema compared with intraoperative histopathological findings for aganglionosis level were 100% (95% CI 0.60–1.0), 35.7% (95% CI 0.19–0.56), 30.8% (95% CI 0.15–0.52), 100% (95% CI 0.66–1.0), and 50% (95% CI 0.33–0.67), respectively. In conclusions, contrast enema has low accuracy to predict intraoperative aganglionosis segments in HSCR patients, indicating that it might not be utilized to determine aganglionosis level during TEPT.

Abstract
Background Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is the most common complication of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) that may happen pre-operatively. Several methods have been reported to determine HAEC. Because the diagnosis of pre-operative HAEC might change the surgical plan, we aimed to determine the accuracy of the classical criteria for diagnosis of pre-operative HAEC and using the Delphi method as a gold standard. Methods Medical records of HSCR children who were admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Ninety-six subjects were involved in this study, consisting of 74 males and 22 females. The most common findings of the Delphi score were abdominal distension (100%) and dilated loops of bowel (100%), followed by leucocytosis (78.6%), lethargy (71.4%), cutoff sign in rectosigmoid with absence of distal air (71.4%), and shift to left (71.4%). The frequency of pre-operative HAEC was 4.2% and 14.6% using the classical criteria and Delphi method, respectively (p = 0.016). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy rates of the classical criteria for diagnosis of pre-operative HAEC were 14.3% (95% CI: 1.8-42.8%), 97.6% (95% CI: 91.5-99.7%), 50% (95% CI: 13.3-86.7%), 87% (95% CI: 84.3-89.2), and 85.4% (95% CI: 76.7-91.8%), respectively. Conclusions The frequency of pre-operative HAEC is low in our hospital. The accuracy of the classical criteria is considered relatively moderate for diagnosis of pre-operative HAEC.

Abstract
Background Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is a life-threatening complication of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), that might occur preoperatively. We investigated the risk factors of preoperative HAEC. Method We retrospectively reviewed all medical records of HSCR patients admitted at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Indonesia from March 2012 until March 2015. Diagnosis of HAEC was determined using the Delphi scoring system. Results Sixty-one HSCR patients were involved in this study, of whom 48 were males and 13 females. Eighteen percent (11/61) patients had a preoperative HAEC. The most common findings of the HAEC score found in our patients were distended abdomen (100%) and dilated loops of bowel (100%), followed by lethargy (72.7%), cut-off sign in rectosigmoid with absence of distal air (72.7%), leukocytosis (72.7%), and shift to left (63.6%). There was no association between gender, age of HSCR diagnosis, early/late diagnosis during neonatal period, aganglionosis type, albumin level nor body mass index with preoperative HAEC (p = 0.69, 0.76, 0.33, 1.0, 0.86, and 0.50, respectively). In addition, the maternal age, gestational age, and maternal education level also did not correlate with the development of preoperative HAEC (p = 0.71, 0.59, and 0.32, respectively). Conclusion The incidence of preoperative HAEC in our hospital is considered relatively moderate, with the most common findings of distended abdomen and dilated loops of bowel. None of the identified risk factors have an association with the development of HAEC in our patients.

Abstract
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been associated with the Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) pathogenesis, however, the findings are still inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the effect of miRNA-206 and its targets, fibronectin 1 (FN1), serum deprivation response (SDPR), and paired box 3 (PAX3) expressions on multifactorial HSCR in Indonesia, a genetically distinct group within Asia. Methods We determined the miRNA-206, FN1, SDPR and PAX3 expressions in both the ganglionic and aganglionic colon of HSCR patients and control colon by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results Twenty-one sporadic HSCR patients and thirteen controls were ascertained in this study. The miRNA-206 expression was up-regulated (2-fold) in the ganglionic colon and down-regulated (0.5-fold) in the aganglionic colon compared to the control group (ΔCT 12.4 ± 3.0 vs. 14.1 ± 3.9 vs. 13.1 ± 2.7), but these differences did not reach significant levels (p = 0.48 and p = 0.46, respectively). Interestingly, the FN1 expression was significantly increased in both the ganglionic (38-fold) and aganglionic colon (18-fold) groups compared to the control group ΔCT 5.7 ± 3.0 vs. 6.8 ± 2.3 vs. 11.0 ± 5.0; p = 0.001 and p = 0.038, respectively). Furthermore, the expressions of SDPR were similar in the ganglionic, aganglionic and control colon groups (ΔCT 2.4 ± 0.6 vs. 2.2 ± 0.4 vs. 2.1 ± 0.6; p = 0.16 and p = 0.39, respectively), while no change was observed in the PAX3 expression between the ganglionic, aganglionic, and control colon groups (ΔCT 3.8 ± 0.8 vs. 4.1 ± 0.8 vs. 3.7 ± 1.1; p = 0.83 and p = 0.44, respectively). Conclusion Our study is the first report of aberrant FN1 expressions in the colon of patients with HSCR and supplies further insights into the contribution of aberrant FN1 expression in the HSCR pathogenesis.

Abstract
Background Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder characterized by absence of ganglion cells along the intestines resulting in functional bowel obstruction. Mutations in neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene have been implicated in some cases of intestinal aganglionosis. This study aims to investigate the contribution of the NRG1 gene to HSCR development in an Indonesian population. Methods We analyzed the entire coding region of the NRG1 gene in 54 histopathologically diagnosed HSCR patients. Results All patients were sporadic non-syndromic HSCR with 53/54 (98%) short-segment and 1/54 (2%) long-segment patients. NRG1 gene analysis identified one rare variant, c.397G > C (p.V133 L), and three common variants, rs7834206, rs3735774, and rs75155858. The p.V133 L variant was predicted to reside within a region of high mammalian conservation, overlapping with the promoter and enhancer histone marks of relevant tissues such as digestive and smooth muscle tissues and potentially altering the AP-4_2, BDP1_disc3, Egr-1_known1, Egr-1_known4, HEN1_2 transcription factor binding motifs. This p.V133 L variant was absent in 92 non-HSCR controls. Furthermore, the rs7834206 polymorphism was associated with HSCR by case–control analysis (p = 0.037). Conclusions This study is the first report of a NRG1 rare variant associated with HSCR patients of South-East Asian ancestry and provides further insights into the contribution of NRG1 in the molecular genetic pathogenesis of HSCR.

Abstract
RATIONALE Hirschsprung disease (HD) or colonic aganglionosis is a congenital disorder, which results from the abnormal migration of neuronal cells of the neural crest leading to a disorder of the enteric nervous system consisting in the absence of ganglion cells within the submucosal and myenteric plexus. PATIENT CONCERNS We report the case of a 7-month-old female infant admitted in our clinic for constipation and failure to thrive. At the age of 6 months, she was examined in our clinic for the same reasons, and we recommended symptomatic treatment without improvements. The clinical examination revealed pallor of the skin and mucosa, distended abdomen, and abdominal tenderness at palpation. DIAGNOSES The abdominal ultrasound showed abdominal bloating, and the barium enema was normal. The patient's evolution worsened progressively within the following 3 days after admission associating sings of toxic megacolon. INTERVENTIONS She underwent a surgical intervention with total colectomy and ileostomy, and the final diagnosis confirmed by the histological examination was of total colonic aganglionosis (TCA). OUTCOMES The evolution immediately after the surgery and the follow-up examination after approximately 3 months pointed out normal weight gain and the laboratory tests were within normal limits. LESSONS TCA can also manifest in older infants. Barium enemas can guide the diagnosis in most cases of HD. Nevertheless, in patients with TCA, it can be normal. Moreover, it could represent a trigger for toxic megacolon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Specific genetic variants at RET (rs2435357) and NRG1 (rs7835688, rs16879552) are associated with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the additional effect of RET rs2506030 on these variants to determine its potential interactions in HSCR patients of Indonesian ancestry. METHODS Sixty HSCR patients and 122 non-HSCR controls were ascertained for this study and genotyped for RET rs2506030 using the TaqMan assay. RESULTS RET rs2506030 was associated with HSCR both by case-control analysis (odds ratio = 1.68; P = 0.043) and the transmission disequilibrium test (P = 0.034). Furthermore, individuals with five or six risk alleles at RET rs2506030, rs2435357 and NRG1 rs7835688 showed ∼45-fold higher HSCR risk than those with 0 or 1 or 2 risk alleles. CONCLUSIONS Disease risk of HSCR is increased by the combination of specific RET and NRG1 susceptibility variants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) represents the primary cause of high morbidity and mortality in Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) patients. The most common surgical methods for HSCR are the Soave and Duhamel procedures. Therefore, we aimed to compare the HAEC frequency following the Soave and Duhamel procedures. METHODS Medical records were retrospectively analyzed for patients who underwent the Soave and Duhamel pull-through at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Indonesia from 2010 to 2015. The diagnosis of HAEC was determined using a HAEC scoring system. RESULTS One hundred patients were involved (Soave: 52 males and 19 females vs. Duhamel: 23 males and 6 females, p=0.62). There was significant difference in mean age at pull-through (Soave: 29.9±45.2 vs. Duhamel: 50.8±47.5months, p=0.04), whereas mean age of HSCR diagnosis and pre-operative enterocolitis frequency did not differ significantly between groups (Soave: 25.4±41.0 vs. Duhamel: 43.7±48.1months, p=0.06, and Soave: 7% vs. Duhamel: 14%, p=0.44, respectively). The HAEC frequency after pull-through was significantly higher in the Duhamel than the Soave group (28% vs. 10%, respectively, p=0.03). Furthermore, pre-operative enterocolitis showed a significant association with HAEC following pull-through (p=2.0×10-4) and the risk of HAEC after Soave pull-through was increased in long-segment aganglionosis compared to short-segment HSCR (p=0.015). CONCLUSIONS The frequency of HAEC was significantly higher after the Duhamel than the Soave procedure. Moreover, patients with pre-operative enterocolitis are prone to have HAEC following pull-through. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Objectives Recently, a scoring system has been developed to predict which patients with biliary atresia (BA) who underwent a Kasai procedure should be considered for liver transplant. Here, we applied the scoring system to predict the survival of BA patients following the Kasai procedure at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia from January 2012 to January 2016. Results There were 26 patients, of whom 14 were males and 12 females. Outcomes of BA patients after the Kasai surgery were 15 survived and 11 died. There were significant associations between ascites and sepsis with the liver transplant score of ≥ 8 (p value = 0.006 and 0.014, respectively), whereas post-operative bilirubin level, ALT level, prothrombin time, cirrhosis, esophageal varices, portal hypertension, and cholangitis did not significantly correlate to the score. The patients with a score ≥ 8 have a relatively greater risk by 3.5-fold to die compared with patients with a score < 8, but it did not reach a significant level (p value = 0.13). In conclusions, the incidence of ascites and sepsis might predict the poor prognosis of BA patients following the Kasai procedure. Moreover, patients with a score ≥ 8 are prone to die after the Kasai surgery if they do not undergo a liver transplant.

Abstract
Background Several pull-through procedures have been described for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) with varying functional outcomes. The voluntary bowel movement (VBM) and the absence of soiling or constipation after pull-through remain the most important markers of good outcome. We aimed to compare the functional outcomes in HSCR patients following Soave and Duhamel procedures. Methods Krickenbeck classification was utilized to determine VBM, soiling and constipation for patients who underwent Soave and Duhamel pull-through at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Indonesia from 2013 to 2016. Results Fifty-three patients were ascertained (Soave: 23 males and 2 females vs. Duhamel: 22 males and 6 females, p = 0.26). Ninety-three and 88% patients had a VBM following Duhamel and Soave pull-through, respectively (p = 0.66). Constipation frequency was significantly higher in Soave than Duhamel groups (24% vs. 4%; p = 0.04) with OR of 8.5 (95% CI = 1.0–76.7), whereas soiling rate was similar between Duhamel (21%) and Soave (8%) groups (p = 0.26). Furthermore, the risk of constipation was increased ~ 21.7-fold in female patients after Soave procedure and was almost statistically significant (p = 0.05). Conclusions The constipation rate is higher in patients who underwent Soave than Duhamel procedure, but the VBM and soiling frequencies are similar. The constipation risk following Soave pull-through might be increased by the female gender. Furthermore, a multicenter study with a larger sample of patients is necessary to clarify and confirm our findings.

Abstract
Background Some Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR) patients showed persistent bowel symptoms following an appropriately performed pull-through procedure. The mechanism is presumed to be down-regulated small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel 3 (SK3) expression in the HSCR ganglionic intestines. We aimed to investigate the SK3 expression’s impact in HSCR patients after a properly performed pull-through surgery in an Indonesian population, a genetically distinct group within Asia. Methods We assessed SK3 gene expression in both the ganglionic and aganglionic colon of HSCR patients and controls colon by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results We ascertained fourteen sporadic HSCR patients and six anorectal malformation patients as controls. Quantitative RT-PCR showed that the SK3 expression was significantly lower (23-fold) in the ganglionic colon group compared to the control group (9.9 ± 4.6 vs. 5.4 ± 3.4; p = 0.044). The expression of SK3 in the aganglionic colon group was also significantly lower (43-fold) compared to the control group (10.8 ± 4.4 vs. 5.4 ± 3.4; p = 0.015). Conclusion Our study shows that the down-regulated SK3 expression in ganglionic intestines might contribute to the persistent bowel symptoms following a properly performed pull-through surgery in Indonesian HSCR patients. Furthermore, this study is the first report of SK3 expression in a sample population of Asian ancestry.
