Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no standard timing for switching to surgical management for children with adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) who initially receive conservative treatment. We hypothesized that an increased gastrointestinal drainage volume may indicate the need for surgical intervention. METHODS The study population included 150 episodes in the patients less than 20 years of age who received treatment for ASBO in our department from January 2008 to August 2019. Patients were divided into two groups: the successful conservative treatment group (CT) and the eventual surgical treatment group (ST). Following the analysis of all episodes (Study 1), we limited our analysis to only first ASBO episodes (Study 2). We retrospectively reviewed their medical records. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in the volume on the 2nd day in both Study 1 (9.1 ml/kg vs. 18.7 ml/kg; p < 0.01) and study 2 (8.1 ml/kg vs. 19.7 ml/kg; p < 0.01). The cut-off value was the same for both Study 1 and Study 2 (11.7 ml/kg). CONCLUSIONS The gastrointestinal drainage volume on the 2nd day in ST was significantly larger than that in CT. Accordingly, we considered that the drainage volume may predict eventual surgical intervention for children with ASBO who initially receive conservative treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
Bilirubin is an insoluble yellow pigment produced from heme catabolism and serves as a diagnostic marker of liver and blood disorders. Here, a systematic study of several interactions and arrangements between different forms of natural bilirubin and poly-5, 2[Formula: see text]-5[Formula: see text], 2[Formula: see text]-terthiophene-3-carboxylic acid/Mn(II)2complex, PTTCA–Mn(II)2, as a biosensor of bilirubin has been investigated extensively. The PTTCA–Mn(II)2biosensor detects natural bilirubin through the mediated electron transfer by the Mn[Formula: see text]. Initially, density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP and different basis sets including 6-31G* and 6-311G** has been employed to calculate the details of electronic structure and electronic energies of natural biliverdin and [Formula: see text]-, [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-bilirubin. Next, the interaction of the PTTCA–Mn(II)2biosensor, being in three possible spin states, with [Formula: see text]-, [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-natural bilirubin with 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry using UB3LYP/6-31G* method has been investigated. Natural population analysis (NPA) calculations have been used to derive more suitable interaction sites of bilirubin with Mn[Formula: see text] ions in PTTCA–Mn(II)2biosensor. Investigation of different manganese complexes with bilirubin shows that the most stable complex is high spin state (total electron spin [Formula: see text]) rather than intermediate and low spin states with 1:2 stoichiometry. Also, the temperature effect and interferences from other biological compounds such as ascorbic acid, L-glutamic acid, uric acid, creatine, glucose and dopamine have been investigated. The nature of the interaction between manganese metal cations and natural bilirubin is also discussed employing NPA, molecular orbital (MO) analysis and Bader’s Atoms in Molecule (AIM) theory.
