Abstract
Introduction Elevated transaminases and/or creatine phosphokinase can indicate underlying muscle disease. Therefore, this study aims to determine the frequency of Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) in male children and Pompe disease (PD) in male and female children with isolated hypertransaminasemia. Methods This multi-center, prospective study enrolled patients aged 3-216 months with serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and/or aspartate transaminase (AST) levels >2× the upper limit of normal (ULN) for ≥3 months. Patients with a known history of liver or muscle disease or physical examination findings suggestive of liver disease were excluded. Patients were screened for creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels, and molecular genetic tests for DMD/BMD in male patients and enzyme analysis for PD in male and female patients with elevated CPK levels were performed. Genetic analyses confirmed PD. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of the patients were analyzed. Results Overall, 589 patients [66.8% male, mean age of 63.4 months (standard deviation: 60.5)] were included. In total, 251 patients (188 male and 63 female) had CPK levels above the ULN. Of the patients assessed, 47% (85/182) of male patients were diagnosed with DMD/BMD and 1% (3/228) of male and female patients were diagnosed with PD. The median ALT, AST, and CPK levels were statistically significantly higher, and the questioned neurological symptoms and previously unnoticed examination findings were more common in DMD/BMD patients than those without DMD/BMD or PD (p < 0.001). Discussion Questioning neurological symptoms, conducting a complete physical examination, and testing for CPK levels in patients with isolated hypertransaminasemia will prevent costly and time-consuming investigations for liver diseases and will lead to the diagnosis of occult neuromuscular diseases. Trial Registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04120168.

Abstract
Introduction: Favipiravir
and Vitamin C (Vit C) were used together in the treatment of the COVID-19
pandemic. However, the effects of favipiravir on the periodontium
are still unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate
the effects of Favipiravir and Vit C treatment on alveolar bone
metabolism. Experimental: Fifty
healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (2–3 months old) were randomly
divided into five equal groups (n =
10): Control, Favi 20, Favi 100, Favi 20+Vit C, Favi 100+Vit C.
Favipiravir (20 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, i.m.)
and Vit C (150 mg/kg/day, oral) were administered to the rats for
14 days. Alveolar bone loss (ABL) and histopathological changes
were examined using a light microscope. Immunohistochemistry was
used to determine levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor
kappa-B ligand (RANKL), caspase-3, bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2)
and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the bone tissues. Results: Favipiravir increased the
levels of RANKL and caspase-3 expression but decreased BMP-2 and ALP
levels in a dose-dependent manner. Favi 20+Vit C and Favi 100 +Vit
C groups showed decreased RANKL and caspase-3 levels in addition
to increased BMP-2 and ALP levels. Conclusion: Favipiravir
can cause histopathological damage to the periodontium, but administration
of favipiravir combined with Vit C can provide a protective effect
against this damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of celiac disease (CD) in patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) and the potential association of JSLE and CD. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study performed from October 2015 to October 2017. A total of 50 patients with JSLE were included in the study. The levels of total IgA and tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody were measured in all patients. Subjects with increased tTG were further evaluated for anti-endomysial antibodies (EMAs). Gastroduodenoscopy and intestinal biopsy were performed in those with increased EMA levels to confirm the diagnosis of CD. RESULTS The study included 44 (88.0%) female and 6 (12.0%) male patients. Of the 50 patients, 30 (60.0%) received corticosteroids, and only 4 (8.0%) received no therapy at the time of the study. Only 3 (6.0%) patients were positive for tTG IgA. Patients with positive tTG IgA were then tested for EMA IgA antibodies, and none of them had a positive result. CONCLUSION We did not find CD in children with systemic lupus erythematosus. Studies with more patients with JSLE are needed to conclude a more precise result.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean fever and celiac disease share some common clinical features such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, arthralgia and arthritis. Also, both of the diseases are associated with many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Previous studies have shown the association between familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and different clinical conditions. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the relationship between celiac disease and colchicine-resistant familial Mediterranean fever (crFMF) disease. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Pediatric Rheumatology from October 2015 to August 2016. A total of 24 patients with crFMF were included in the study. We used 60 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects as a control group. Levels of total IgA and tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody were measured in both groups. Those with increased level of tTG IgA were tested for anti-endomysium IgA antibodies (EMA). Gastroduodenoscopy and intestinal biopsy were planned for a definite diagnosis of celiac disease in patients with positive EMA. RESULTS Of the 24 patients in this study, 18 (75.0%) were female. Only 4 (16.6%) of 24 patients were positive for tTG IgA. Patients with positive tTG IgA were then tested for EMA IgA antibodies and none of them had a positive result. Only one (1.6%) subject from the control group was positive for tTG IgA but EMA positivity was not detected. CONCLUSION We did not found celiac disease in 24 children with crFMF. Since crFMF disease is rarely seen in general population, further studies with more patients are needed to provide more precise interpretation.

Abstract
Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly that consists of a ring of pancreatic tissue partially or completely encircling the second part of the duodenum. It can affect anyone from neonates to adults, and is difficult to diagnose because it can present in a wide range of clinical conditions. Although cases have also been reported in adults, symptomatic cases are often referred in infancy or early childhood. A 17-year-old female patient who was diagnosed as having annular pancreas is reported. The patient had had non-bilious vomiting accompanied by abdominal pain, especially 5-10 minutes after meals, for seven years. Annular pancreas, which may be seen at any age, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with non-bilious vomiting, particularly after meals, over a long period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been limited studies investigating the impact of chronic hepatitis B virus infection on the growth of children. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in children with chronic hepatitis B infection. METHODS The nutritional status of patients was retrospectively evaluated in the outpatient Clinic of Pediatric Gastroenterology between February and November 2014. During the study, biochemical laboratory parameters, duration of disease, liver biopsy scores, and medication were evaluated. Additionally body mass index and body mass index centiles were calculated. RESULTS Of the 96 patients in this study, 68 were male and 28 were female, and the mean age was 144.7±43.9 months and 146.1±47.3 months, respectively. According to body mass index centiles five (5.2%) patients were underweight, seven (7.3%) patients were overweight, and seven (7.3%) patients were obese. CONCLUSIONS Moderate rates of malnutrition (including obesity) were found in chronic hepatitis B infection. Additional nutritional status information of healthy and sick children should be assessed in the infection's early period, and timely interventions should be initiated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated enteropathy caused by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. In some reports, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has been identified as an extraintestinal symptom of CD. We aimed to further investigate the possible association between CD and SNHL by examining a greater number of pediatric CD patients. METHODS The study was carried out from March to September 2014 and included 110 pediatric patients with biopsy-confirmed CD (220 ears) and 41 age- and sex-matched controls (82 ears); participants were evaluated by tympanometry and pure tone audiometry (frequency, 250-8000Hz frequency). RESULTS Audiometric bone conduction thresholds were significantly different between the CD patients and the controls (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences in pure tone averages for air conduction (p>0.05). When the results for CD patients were analyzed according to duration of disease (≤36 months and >36 months), a significant difference in bone conduction thresholds (p<0.05) was noted, with significant increments at the later stages of disease. However, this difference was not sufficient to define clinical hearing loss, as the pure tone average thresholds remained below 20dB. CONCLUSION These results indicate that subclinical hearing loss may be present in children with CD, which could presage more serious hearing impairments at older ages and later stages of the disease. Hearing screenings should be recommended for children with CD in order to prevent the potentially unfavorable effects of hearing loss on the emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and sensorimotor development of these patients.

Abstract
The crystal structures of the six-coordinate complexes [Cd(sac)2(H2O)2(meim)2] (complex 1) formed by reaction of 4-methylimidazole(meim) with [Cd(sac)2(H2O)4]·2H2O (saccharinate=sac), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, thermal analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that complex 1 crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/c. The Cd(II) center was six-coordinated with four nitrogen atoms from two sac and two 4-meim ligands, two oxygen atoms from two aqua ligands. Spectral and thermal analysis data for complex 1 was in agreement with the crystal structures. In addition complex 1 displayed blue fluorescent emission in the solid state at room temperature. Single crystal EPR spectra at room temperature are resolved and have exhibited that two different Cu(2+) complexes were located in different chemical environments which contained two magnetically nonequivalent Cu(2+) sites. In low temperature EPR spectra down to 110 °C did show no considerable change. At higher temperatures, however, both thermo gravimetric analyses (TGA) and EPR spectra showed detectable changes around 140 °C; the causes and the mechanisms of changes are discussed.

Abstract
Factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder with a highly variable hemorrhagic predisposition. It is transmitted as an autosomal recessive and plays an important role in the initiation of blood coagulation forming a complex with tissue factor which activates FIX, FX and FVII zymogen. Prolonged prothrombin time with normal partial thromboplastin time indicates FVII deficiency. For the definitive diagnosis, the specific plasma FVII level should be investigated. FVII deficiency is expressed in different ways and leads to various clinical pictures. I reported two siblings with hereditary factor VII deficiency whose clinical presentations were different.
