    Abstract Enteral nutrition in critically ill children has been associated with improved clinical outcomes. Gastrointestinal dysfunction often impedes the timely initiation and advancement of enteral nutrition and can contribute to immune dysregulation and systemic inflammation. Therefore, assessing gastrointestinal function, at a cellular and functional level, is important to provide optimal enteral nutrition therapy and reduce the gastrointestinal tract's contribution to the inflammatory cascade of critical illness. In this narrative review, we present an overview of biomarker and functional assays for gastrointestinal dysfunction, including epithelial barrier disruption and gastrointestinal dysmotility, that have been considered for critically ill patients.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Malnutrition remains prevalent in critically ill children and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Conversely, nutrition provision has been associated with improved survival. Nutritional challenges must be addressed to guide best nutrition practices for the critically ill child. In this narrative review, we summarize findings from research published between July 2020 and January 2022 on nutrition in critically ill children. Findings from these articles build on previous work to guide next steps in both research and clinical practice in this cohort.
    Recent findings: A comprehensive literature review was performed. We identified the following common themes for research published between July 2020 and January 2022-metabolism, enteral nutrition, including timing, dosing, protein prescription and delivery in special populations, gastrointestinal function, and enteral nutrition adjunctive therapies.
    Summary: Research continues to support early initiation and advancement of enteral nutrition. Achieving nutritional adequacy is challenging, but research associated with the timing and dosing of enteral nutrition, alternative methods of enteral nutrition delivery and the use of adjuncts are expanding our understanding of best practices for this cohort. Areas for further research continue to be the use of measured energy requirements, protein dosing and inclusion of functional outcomes to assess the benefit of nutritional interventions.

    Abstract Antibiotic residues in the environment threaten soil and aquatic organisms and human and livestock health through the building of antimicrobial resistance. Manure spreading associated with animal agriculture is one source of environmental antibiotic residues. To better understand the risk of contamination, we studied the adsorption of erythromycin, a model macrolide antibiotic used across human and animal medicine. We conducted a series of equilibrium batch experiments to determine the kinetics and extent of adsorption and a continuous-flow column adsorption experiment to observe non-equilibrium adsorption patterns. We determined that the adsorption equilibration time to soil was approximately 72 h in our batch experiments. Erythromycin adsorbed to soil relatively strongly (K = 8.01 × 10

    Abstract Antibiotic residues in the environment threaten soil and aquatic organisms and human and livestock health through the building of antimicrobial resistance. Manure spreading associated with animal agriculture is one source of environmental antibiotic residues. To better understand the risk of contamination, we studied the adsorption of erythromycin, a model macrolide antibiotic used across human and animal medicine. We conducted a series of equilibrium batch experiments to determine the kinetics and extent of adsorption and a continuous-flow column adsorption experiment to observe non-equilibrium adsorption patterns. We determined that the adsorption equilibration time to soil was approximately 72 h in our batch experiments. Erythromycin adsorbed to soil relatively strongly (K = 8.01 × 10−2 L/mg; qmax = 1.53 × 10−3 mg/mg), adsorbed to the soil in the presence of manure with less affinity (K = 1.99 × 10−4 L/mg) at a soil: manure ratio of 10:1 by mass, and did not adsorb to manure across the solid ratios tested. We observed multi-phased adsorption of erythromycin to the soil during the non-equilibrium column experiment, which was largely absent from the treatments with both soil and manure present. These results suggest that erythromycin is more mobile in the environment when introduced with manure, which is likely the largest source of agriculturally sourced environmental antibiotics. HIGHLIGHTS Erythromycin favored its aqueous phase when manure and manure–DOM were present.; Erythromycin may display biphasic adsorption tendencies with multiple mechanisms.; Manure management recommendation: reduce manure erythromycin content prior to field application when contaminant is aqueous.;

    Abstract Background: We aimed to describe enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in patients receiving postpyloric EN (PPEN) vs gastric EN (GEN).
    Methods: Single-center retrospective study including patients aged <21 years admitted to an intensive care unit in a pediatric quaternary care hospital for ≧48 h who received PPEN or GEN as a first approach, as guided by a nutrition algorithm. PPEN patients were 1:1 propensity score matched to GEN patients on demographics, clinical characteristics, and disease severity. Days to EN initiation from admission, percentage of EN adequacy (delivered EN volume/prescribed EN volume) on days 1-3 and 7 after EN initiation, and time to achieving 60% of prescribed EN volume were compared between the two groups using Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney tests and a Cox proportional hazards model. Data are presented as median (IQR1, IQR3).
    Results: Forty-six PPEN and 46 GEN patients were matched. Median time to EN initiation was 3.25 (2, 6.8) days for PPEN and 4.15 (1.5, 7.1) days for GEN (P = 0.6). Percentage of EN adequacy was greater for PPEN than GEN patients (day 1 PPEN 59.4% [18.8, 87.5] vs GEN 21.1% [7.8, 62.8], day 2 PPEN 54.3% [16.7, 95.8] vs GEN 24% [5.4, 56.7], day 3 PPEN 65.4% [14.7, 100] vs GEN 16% [0, 64.6], day 7 PPEN 77.8% [11.1, 100] vs GEN 13.8% [0, 74.5]; P < 0.05). PPEN patients had greater likelihood of achieving 60% of their prescribed EN volume than GEN patients (hazard ratio 1.84, 95% CI 1.07-3.15; P = 0.028).
    Conclusion: PPEN was associated with greater EN delivery compared with GEN.

    Abstract Background: The timeline of the three Pediatric International Nutrition Studies (PINS) coincided with the publication of 2 major guidelines for the timing of parenteral nutrition (PN) and recommended energy and protein delivery dose.
    Objective: The study's main objective was to describe changes in the nutrition delivery practice recorded in PINS 1 and 2 (conducted in 2009 and 2011, pre-exposure epoch) versus PINS 3 (conducted in 2018,post-exposure epoch), in relation to the published practice guidelines.
    Design: This study is a secondary analysis of data from a multi-center prospective cohort study.
    Participants: /setting. Data from 3650 participants, aged 1 month to 18 years, admitted to 100 unique hospitals that participated in three PINS was used for this study.
    Main outcome measures: The time in days from PICU admission to the initiation of PN and enteral nutrition (EN) delivery were the primary outcomes. Prescribed energy and protein goals were the secondary outcomes.
    Statistical analyses performed: A frailty model with a random intercept per hospital with stratified baseline hazard function by region for the primary outcomes and a mixed-effects negative binomial regression with random intercept per hospital for the secondary outcomes.
    Results: The proportion of patients receiving EN (88.3% vs. 80.6%, p-value<0.001) was higher, and those receiving PN (20.6% vs. 28.8%, p-value<0.001) was lower in the PINS3 cohort compared to PINS1-2. In the PINS3 cohort, the odds of initiating PN during the 1st 10 days of PICU admission were lower, compared to the PINS1-2 cohort (HR=0.8, CI=[0.67-0.95], p-value=0.013); and prescribed energy goal was lower compared to the PINS1-2 cohort (IRR=0.918, CI=[0.874-0.965], p=0.001).
    Conclusions: The likelihood of initiation of PN delivery significantly decreased in the first ten days post-admission in the PINS3 cohort compared to PINS1-2. Energy goal prescription in mechanically ventilated children significantly decreased in the post-guidelines epoch compared to the pre-guidelines epoch.

    Abstract Zonulin is a physiologic epithelial and endothelial permeability modulator. Zonulin increases antigen trafficking from the gut lumen into the bloodstream and in between body compartments, a mechanism linked to many chronic inflammatory diseases. Upon its initial discovery, it was noted that zonulin was not a single protein, but rather a family of structurally and functionally related proteins referred to as the zonulin family proteins (ZFPs). ZFPs are members of the mannose associated serine proteases (MASP) family and are the result of high mutation rates leading to many zonulin polymorphisms. Pre-haptoglobin 2, the precursor of haptoglobin 2, was identified as the first eukaryotic member of the ZFPs, and properdin, a key positive regulator of the alternative pathway, as a second member. In this study, we report two additional proteins that are likely ZFPs. Human coagulation factor X (FX) and CD5 antigen-like (CD5L). Both FX and CD5L recombinant proteins were detected by anti-zonulin antibody in Western immunoblot analysis, and both proteins decreased epithelial barrier competency of Caco-2 cell monolayers as established by the Trans Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) assay. These results indicate that FX and CD5L have structural and functional similarities with previously identified ZFPs and, therefore, can be considered new members of this family of proteins.
