Calreticulin plays a critical role in the etiology of multiple autoimmune diseases. It is unknown, however, whether calreticulin levels are of clinical significance for patients with biliary atresia. This study was to confirm possible correlations between serum calreticulin levels and the immunohistochemical features of biliary atresia. Serum was collected from 44 biliary atresia patients, 15 i...

Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) bear a partially activated phenotype that permits them to rapidly respond to antigenic insults. However, this phenotype also implies that IEL must be highly controlled to prevent misdirected immune reactions. It has been suggested that IEL are regulated through the interaction of the CD8alpha alpha homodimer with the thymus leukemia (TL) antigen expr...

Congenital aural atresia, a rare entity, may be accompanied with variations in course of facial nerve and congenital cholesteatoma. In the present study, we describe three distinct cases of aural atresia, with successful management, according to the extent of atresia. Management of atresia is essentially a team work, comprising of otologist, plastic surgeon, radiologist and paediatrician, thus ...

Gallbladder duplication in association with other GIT anomalies is a rare entity. We report two neonates; one with duodenal atresia and the other newborn with pyloric atresia, ileal atresia and colonic atresia, both were associated with gallbladder duplication which has not been reported earlier.

A gastric duplication cyst is not a common anomaly of the alimentary tract. The most site tract ileum. We found non-communicating cyst, along with greater curvature stomach during feeding gastrostomy for isolated Oesophageal atresia. are reporting associated atresia and left side one additional floating rib. This third case report in English literature.

Background: Neonatal intestinal atresia is commonly encountered congenital anomaly in the early days of life. Imaging is important for early diagnosis. Objective: This study was conducted for detecting radiological findings of different types of upper gastro-intestinal atresia (other than esophageal atresia) in correlation with surgical data. Patients and Methods: From April 2009 to April 2014,...

Biliary atresia, malrotation, meconium peritonitis and transient hypothyroidism are occasionally seen in neonatal infants. Biliary atresia associated with malrotation has been reported in some patients with polysplenia syndrome, but biliary atresia associated with meconium peritonitis has only been described by a few investigators. Here we present a case of meconium peritonitis due to malrotati...

Introduction. Short bowel syndrome in children is a rare disease. One of the most common etiological factors for development short atresia small intestine. After surgical correction congenital anomaly, remaining intestine attempts to increase absorption restore homeostasis, and process intestinal adaptation begins. This can be assisted with analogues endogenous growth intestine, such as teduglu...
