Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the use of technology, recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) prevention remains an unmet need in children and adolescents with T1D and may be accompanied by life-threatening acute complications. We present a rare case of non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) with overt manifestation after DKA resolution and a discussion of recent literature addressing DKA-associated NOMI epidemiology and pathogenesis in children and adolescents. CASE PRESENTATION A 13-year-old female with previously diagnosed T1D, was admitted at our emergency department with hypovolemic shock, DKA, hyperosmolar state and acute kidney injury (AKI). Mildly progressive abdominal pain persisted after DKA correction and after repeated ultrasound evaluations ultimately suspect for intestinal perforation, an intraoperative diagnosis of NOMI was made. CONCLUSION The diagnosis of DKA-associated NOMI must be suspected in pediatric patients with DKA, persistent abdominal pain, and severe dehydration even after DKA resolution.

Abstract
To summarize the most salient literature regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prevention of ischemic enterocolitis (IE) in thermal injury. IE is a poorly characterized gastrointestinal complication associated with large burns. This entity occurs irrespective of abdominal trauma. The diagnostic challenges, paucity of treatment options and related complications make IE particularly lethal. Herein we present a case of profound IE in a 40-year-old male who sustained 80% total body surface area (TBSA) burns. We provide an overview of our current understanding of IE, discuss early diagnostic strategies, and review possible treatment options. Although there are several promising biomarkers of early IE and potential treatment strategies, prospective studies are lacking. IE secondary to massive thermal injury is a lethal complication of severely burned patients. Early recognition and evidenced-based treatment strategies are paramount to successful management of patients with IE. Additional research and prospective trials are warranted given this devastating complication of massive burns.

Abstract
The article reviews the intestinal ischemia theme on newborn and children. The intestinal ischemia may be either acute - intestinal infarction (by vascular obstruction or by reduced mesenteric blood flow besides the occlusive mechanism), either chronic. In neonates, acute intestinal ischemia may be caused by aortic thrombosis, volvulus or hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In children, acute intestinal ischemia may be caused by fibromuscular dysplasia, volvulus, abdominal compartment syndrome, Burkitt lymphoma, dermatomyositis (by vascular obstruction) or familial dysautonomia, Addison’s disease, situs inversus abdominus (intraoperative), burns, chemotherapy administration (by nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia). Chronic intestinal ischemia is a rare condition in pediatrics and can be seen in abdominal aortic coarctation or hypoplasia, idiopathic infantile arterial calcinosis.

Abstract
Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a known complication of the large-volume resuscitation that burn patients receive. Bowel ischemia has been theorized to occur in ACS but has yet to be described in the literature. The authors report an occurrence of late bowel obstruction related to ACS-associated bowel ischemia in a burn patient. A four-year-old previously well girl sustained 70% total body surface area burns with inhalation injury. The areas injured were the anterior neck, circumferential torso from neck to waist, left arm, left thigh and two-thirds of her right thigh. Fluid resuscitation was initially administered using the modified Parkland formula. Her transfer to the regional burn unit from a local hospital was complicated by early septic shock from a line infection, which increased her resuscitation fluid requirements. Infection ultimately led to multiple instances of ACS. Intervention with percutaneous drainage led to immediate improvement; however, the episodes of ACS resulted in a late small bowel obstruction secondary to stricture, requiring a laparotomy and bowel resection.

Abstract
Evidence for changes in adult trauma management often precedes evidence for changes in pediatric trauma management. Many adult trauma centers have adopted damage-control resuscitation management strategies, which target the metabolic syndrome of acidosis, coagulopathy, and hypothermia often found in severe uncontrolled hemorrhage. Two key components of damage-control resuscitation are permissive hypotension, which is a fluid management strategy that targets a subnormal blood pressure, and hemostatic resuscitation, which is a transfusion strategy that targets coagulopathy with early blood product administration. Acceptance of damage-control resuscitation strategies is reflected in recent changes in the American College of Surgeons' Advanced Trauma Life Support curriculum; the most recent edition has decreased its initial fluid recommendation to 1 L from 2 L, and it now recommends early administration of blood products without specifying any specific ratio. These recommendations are not advocating permissive hypotension or hemostatic resuscitation directly but represent an initial step toward limiting fluid resuscitation and using blood products to treat coagulopathy earlier. Evidence for permissive hypotension exists in animal studies and few adult clinical trials. There is no evidence to support permissive hypotension strategies in pediatrics. Evidence for hemostatic resuscitation in adult trauma management is more comprehensive, and there are limited data to support its use in pediatric trauma patients with severe hemorrhage. Additional studies on the management of children with severe uncontrolled hemorrhage are needed.

Abstract
Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) are increasingly recognized as potential complications in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. ACS and IAH affect all body systems, most notably the cardiac, respiratory, renal, and neurologic systems. ACS/IAH affects blood flow to various organs and plays a significant role in the prognosis of the patients. Recognition of ACS/IAH, its risk factors and clinical signs can reduce the morbidity and mortality associated. Moreover, knowledge of the pathophysiology may help rationalize the therapeutic approach. We start this article with a brief historic review on ACS/IAH. Then, we present the definitions concerning parameters necessary in understanding ACS/IAH. Finally, pathophysiology aspects of both phenomena are presented, prior to exploring the various facets of ACS/IAH management.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the changes in the secretion of TH1/TH2 cytokines in Peyer's patches of scalded rats after enteral nutrition supplementation.
METHODS: Sixty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into EN group (n = 32) and EIN group (n = 32). Rats were subjected to a 30% TBSA III degree scald injury. The EN group was given standard enteral nutrition (Nutrison Multi Fibre), while the EIN group was given enteral immunonutrition. Peyer's patches were excised to isolate lymphocytes to determine the changes in the secretion of TH1/TH2 cytokines.
RESULTS: On day 1 after scalding, the concentrations of IL-2 and IFN-γ released from Peyer's patch lymphocytes were significantly higher in the two experimental groups compared with pre-scald values (19.7 ± 7.3 vs 92.6 ±21.3 and 97.6 ± 25.4; 63.7 ± 27.3 vs 279.4 ± 89.7 and 292.7 ± 97.4; all P < 0.01). On day 10, the concentrations of IL-2 and IFN-γ released from Peyer's patch lymphocytes were significantly lower in the EIN group than in the EN group (41.6 ± 16.5 vs 55.9 ± 14.4; 71.6 ± 26.9 vs 104.3 ± 31.7; both P < 0.01 or 0.05). The concentrations of IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly higher in the EIN group than in the EN group on days 4, 7 and 10.
CONCLUSION: The expression of Th1 cytokines is up-regulated in Peyer's patches of scalded rats. Enteral immunonutrition supplementation can promote the expression of Th2 cytokines, help correct TH2/TH1 imbalance, and improve mucosal barrier function.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the protective effects of early enteral glutamine supplementation on the barrier function of intestinal mucosa in scalded rats and explore the mechanism underlying such protective effects.
METHODS: Healthy adult SD rats were subjected to a 30% TBSA third-degree scald injury to develop a rat model of scald injury. Scalded rats were then randomly divided into EN and EN plus Gln group, respectively. Rats in the EN group were fed standard enteral nutrition (Nutrison Multi Fibre) while those in the EN plus Gln group were fed standard enteral nutrition plus Gln. On days 1, 4, 7 and 10 after scald induction, plasma D-lactic acid levels were analyzed by ultraviolet spectrophotometry, the expression of Occludin protein was detected by Western blot, and the expression of ZO-1 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR.
RESULTS: Serum D-lactic acid level was elevated in response to scald induction. The levels of D-lactic acid in the serum of rats in the EN group did not return to normal within the period of observation of this study, whereas those in the EN plus Gln group returned to normal on day 4 after scald induction (4.5 ± 0.8 mg/L vs 3.8 ± 0.6 mg/L). Semiquantitative Western blot analysis showed that the expression of Occludin protein in intestinal mucosa of rats in the EN plus Gln group showed an initial rise, followed by a decline. On days 4 and 7, the expression level of Occludin protein in intestinal mucosa of rats in the EN plus Gln group were significantly higher than those in the EN group (1.18 ± 0.14 vs 0.79 ± 0.09 and 1.59 ± 0.16 vs 1.12 ± 0.13, respectively; both P < 0.05). In both groups, the expression levels of ZO-1 mRNA on day 1 significantly declined when compared with pre-induction values (0.71 ± 0.19 and 0.76 ± 0.17 vs 1.00, both P < 0.05). On day 4, a significant difference was noted in the expression levels of ZO-1 mRNA between the two groups (1.17 ± 0.16 vs 0.76 ± 0.15; P < 0.05) though no significant differences were found at other time points.
CONCLUSION: Early enteral glutamine supplementation is superior to standard enteral nutrition in promoting the expression of Occludin protein and ZO-1 mRNA in intestinal mucosa and improving the barrier function of intestinal mucosa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this review were to summarize a) the consensus definitions of normal and pathologic intra-abdominal pressure (IAP); b) the techniques to measure IAP; c) the risk factors for intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS); d) the pathophysiology of ACS; and e) the current recommendations for management and prevention of ACS. DATA SOURCES PubMed was searched using the following terms: ACS, IAH, IAP, and abdominal decompression. DATA SYNTHESIS ACS represents the natural progression of end-organ dysfunction caused by increased IAP and develops if IAH is not recognized and treated appropriately. Although the reported incidence of ACS is relatively low in critically ill children (0.6%-4.7%) it may be under-recognized and under-reported. The diagnosis of IAH/ACS depends on a high index of suspicion and the accurate and frequent measurement of IAP in patients at risk. Mortality from ACS remains high (50%-60%) even when decompression of the abdomen is performed early, which highlights the importance of detection and treatment of elevated IAP before end-organ damage occurs. CONCLUSIONS A widespread awareness of the recognition and current approach to management and prevention of IAH and ACS is needed among pediatric intensivists, so outcome of these life-threatening disease processes might be improved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a lethal complication after resuscitation from burn shock, even after abdominal decompression (AD) is performed. This study investigated increased susceptibility to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in extensively burned patients with ACS. METHODS Patients admitted to our burn unit between 2002 and 2005 with burns affecting 40% or more of the total body surface area without severe inhalation injury were analyzed. Hemodynamic parameters, blood gas analysis, and intrabladder pressure as intra-abdominal pressure were recorded. Serum interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6 concentrations were measured in 20 of these patients. Lung injury score and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores were serially determined. RESULTS Fourteen of 38 patients developed intra-abdominal hypertension in 22.9 +/- 8.9 hours postburn. Hemodynamic parameters in these 14 patients, including peak intra-abdominal pressure (46.6 +/- 11.2 to 19.8 +/- 9.9 cm H2O), peak inspiratory pressure (51.4 +/- 10.5 to 31.8 +/- 7.0 cm H2O), and abdominal perfusion pressure (51.3 +/- 18.3 to 73.9 +/- 13.6 mm Hg), were improved immediately after AD. Despite AD, lung injury score and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores increased significantly 2 and 3 days postburn in patients who required AD. Plasma concentration of IL-8 was elevated in intra-abdominal hypertension patients 3 days postburn. CONCLUSION Intra-abdominal hypertension induced acute lung injury and MODS with IL-8 elevation, even though AD improved hemodynamic parameters in extensively burned patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary abdominal compartment syndrome is a lethal complication after resuscitation from burn shock. Hypertonic lactated saline (HLS) infusion reduces early fluid requirements in burn shock, but the effects of HLS on intraabdominal pressure have not been clarified. METHODS Patients admitted to our burn unit between 2002 and 2004 with burns > or =40% of the total body surface area without severe inhalation injury were entered into a fluid resuscitation protocol using HLS (n = 14) or lactated Ringer's solution (n = 22). Urine output was monitored hourly with a goal of 0.5 to 1.0 mL/kg per hour. Hemodynamic parameters, blood gas analysis, intrabladder pressure as an indicator of intraabdominal pressure (IAP), and the peak inspiratory pressure were recorded. Pulmonary compliance and the abdominal perfusion pressure were also calculated. RESULTS In the HLS group, the amount of intravenous fluid volume needed to maintain adequate urine output was less at 3.1 +/- 0.9 versus 5.2 +/- 1.2 mL/24 h per kg per percentage of total body surface area, and the peak IAP and peak inspiratory pressure at 24 hours after injury were significantly lower than those in the lactated Ringer's group. Two of 14 patients (14%) in the HLS group and 11 of 22 patients (50%) developed IAH within 20.8 +/- 7.2 hours after injury. CONCLUSION In patients with severe burn injury, a large intravenous fluid volume decreases abdominal perfusion during the resuscitative period because of increased IAP. Our data suggest that HLS resuscitation could reduce the risk of secondary abdominal compartment syndrome with lower fluid load in burn shock patients.

Abstract
Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is rarely reported as a complication of severe burn. This study clarified the risk of burned patients with and without ACS, especially regarding the resuscitation fluid volume. Extensively burned patients admitted to our burn unit from January 2003, through to June 2004, were examined. Vital signs, blood gas analysis, bladder pressure to estimate intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), resuscitation fluid volume, and urine output (UO) were analyzed. Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) was defined as an IAP of more than 30 cm of H2O. Eight of 48 patients suffering from a more than 30% total burn surface area developed ACS in 18.3+/-4.9 h. In these patients, IAP (49+/-12 cmH2O), PIP (50+/-16 cmH2O), heart rate (115+/-8/min), and PaCO2 (54.6+/-10.1 mmHg) were higher than normal, and their resuscitation volume was 0.40+/-0.11 L/kg. Also, a significant correlation between the IBP, PIP and resuscitation volume was observed. Most patients with severe burns required more than 300 mL/kg of resuscitation fluid for the first 24 h after injury that led to ACS and had higher HR, IBP, PIP and PaCO2 despite arterial pressure showing no significant difference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) can become fatal; however, it has rarely been described as a complication of burn injury. This study clarified the physiologic results of abdominal decompression (AD) for ACS in patients with burn injury in detail. METHODS Extensively burned patients admitted to our burn unit between January 2003 and February 2004 were prospectively monitored by pulmonary artery catheter. Physiologic parameters from the catheter, blood gas analysis, intrabladder pressure as a parameter of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), peak inspiratory pressure, and urine output (UO) were compared before and after escharotomy as AD in patients with ACS. RESULTS Eight of 36 patients who had sustained more than 30% total body surface area burn developed ACS requiring AD in 18.3 +/- 4.9 hours. AD significantly decreased IAP (52 +/- 9 cm H2O vs. 26 +/- 7 cm H2O), peak inspiratory pressure (53 +/- 13 cm H2O vs. 35 +/- 6 cm H2O), heart rate, and Paco2, and increased cardiac index (1.6 +/- 0.7 L/min/m2 vs. 2.5 +/- 0.9 L/min/m2), abdominal perfusion pressure (50 +/- 11 mm Hg vs. 72 +/- 17 mm Hg), UO (0.45 +/- 0.46 mL/h/kg vs. 2.0 +/- 2.1 mL/h/kg), and oxygen delivery index (290 +/- 195 mL/m2/min vs. 455 +/- 218 mL/m2/min). Impaired oxygen consumption index increased (86 +/- 43 mL/m2/min vs. 153 +/- 58 mL/m2/min) after AD. CONCLUSION In patients with severe burn injury, elevated IAP makes pulmonary artery wedge pressure and UO unreliable indices of preload or intravascular volume, and decreases abdominal perfusion in the resuscitation period. AD in these patients significantly improves the ventilation, hemodynamic parameters, and oxygen metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn injury-triggered activation of lipopolysaccharide signaling via the CD14 pathway alters the expression of a variety of downstream genes contributing to pathogenic changes in distant organs. The regulation of CD14 and its role in the immediate-early response of c-Jun in the liver after burn injury were investigated in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS An incidental identification of the differential induction of CD14 mRNA after an approximately 18% TBSA burn injury in mice was confirmed by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical analyses of CD14 expression. Subsequently, CD14's role in the immediate-early regulation of c-Jun expression in the liver after injury was examined by Western blot analysis using CD14 knockout (KO) mice. RESULTS RT-PCR analysis demonstrated a rapid and transient induction of CD14 mRNA in the liver and lungs of mice after injury. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a peak induction of CD14 reactivity in cells appearing to be Kupffer cells at day 1 after injury. Furthermore, an augmented and delayed induction of c-Jun mRNA was observed in the liver of CD14 KO mice after injury compared to wild-type controls. The induction of phosphorylated (serine 63 or serine 73) forms of c-Jun after injury was lower in the livers of CD14 KO mice than that in WT controls. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that injury elicits CD14 induction as well as hyperphosphorylation of the c-Jun N-terminus activation domain and that CD14 is involved in the modulation of c-Jun's transactivation potential via phosphorylation, which may be associated with hepatic pathogenesis after injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Few data have been published regarding protein losing enteropathy in adult patients with burns. This study characterised the presence of protein-losing enteropathy in adults with burns and examined the relationship between the magnitude of burn size and the severity of protein loss. METHODS Twenty adult patients with burns (BSA 31+/-25%, range 2-80%) were studied. Fluid resuscitation was based on the Parkland's formula. Protein loss into the gastrointestinal tract was measured using faecal alpha1-antitrypsin (FA-1-AT) concentrations. Serial measurements of serum protein and albumin concentrations were performed. RESULTS Fourteen patients demonstrated elevations in FA-1-AT levels. The mean peak FA-1-AT level was 3.6+/-4.2 mg/g dry weight of stool. Two patients demonstrated elevated FA-1-AT excretion 1.5 months and 3 months after the burns. There was a good correlation between burn size and FA-1-AT excretion (R2=0.40). CONCLUSIONS Protein losing enteropathy was demonstrable in patients with major burns. The magnitude of this phenomenon appears to be proportional to the burns size.
