Patients with acute hepatitis had been in the hospital for 16.2 卤 4.1 day before therapy, had a mean bilirubin of 25 mg/100 mL, and had been in coma 5.2 卤 1.6 days before therapy. Routine tests of liver function, blood chemistries, amino acids, EEGs, and complex neurologic testing ...
Use of model organisms and in vitro techniques relevant to developmental biology and medicine are acceptable, as are translational human studies.doi:10.1203/00006450-197704000-01130Simpson, Elda HBrasel, JoanneHeird, Wm CPediatric Research
The renal clearance of 21 amino acids was investigated in 5 patients with chronic renal failure (inulin clearance = 5--10ml/min) during the 6-week administration of a low-protein diet. The results were compared with values obtained in 6 volunteers. The renal clearance of all investigated amino...
Non-essential amino acids are not only general constituent elements of proteins. Some of them have special functions: e.g. glycin is included in purine synthesis, and catechol amines and thyroid hormones are produced from tyrosine. In parenteral nutrition, however, the choice of non-essential ami...
Serum lipids should be monitored for evidence of EFAD in patients maintained on fat free TPN. The amount administered is dosed on the basis of amino acids/kg of body weight/day. In general, two to three g/kg of body weight for neonates and infants with adequate calories are sufficient to...
Plasma amino acids were measured in 64 infants receiving TPN for NEC. Ages varied from 2-60 days and mean weight was 1621 gm (range 760-2550). The TPN mixture contained Travasol 8.5% with electrolytes, dextrose, vitamins and minerals, administered for 21 days and providing protein at 2.4 ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether daily rapid intravenous administration of amino acids (IVAA) prevented the formation of biliary sludge in humans receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Thirty adult patients receiving TPN for more than 28 consecutive days were studied. ...
