    Abstract Introduction: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening inflammatory disease. Its onset might be triggered by Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) activation via bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We hypothesize that a deficiency of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), an enzyme secreted by enterocytes that dephosphorylates LPS, may contribute to NEC development.
    Methods: In this prospective pilot study, we analyzed intestinal resection specimens from surgical NEC patients, and from patients undergoing Roux-Y reconstruction for hepatobiliary disease as controls. We assessed IAP activity via enzymatic stainings and assays and explored IAP and TLR4 co-localization through immunofluorescence.
    Results: The study population consisted of five NEC patients (two Bell's stage IIb and three-stage IIIb, median (IQR) gestational age 25 (24-28) weeks, postmenstrual age at diagnosis 28 (26-31) weeks) and 11 controls (unknown age). There was significantly lower IAP staining in NEC resection specimens [49 (41-50) U/g of protein] compared to controls [115 (76-144),
    Conclusion: This study suggests a significantly lower IAP level in resection specimens of NEC patients compared to controls. This lower IAP activity suggests a potential role of IAP as a protective agent in the gut, which needs further confirmation in larger cohorts.

    Abstract Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare newborn liver disease with significant morbidity and mortality, especially if not recognized and treated early in life. It is the most common cause of liver-related death in children and the leading indication for liver transplantation in the pediatric population. Timely intervention with a Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) can significantly improve prognosis. Delayed disease recognition, late patient referral, and untimely surgery remains a worldwide problem. This article will focus on biliary atresia from a global public health perspective, including disease epidemiology, current national screening programs, and their impact on outcome, as well as new and novel BA screening initiatives. Policy challenges for the implementation of BA screening programs will also be discussed, highlighting examples from the North American, European, and Asian experience.

    Abstract Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating neonatal disease that affects neonates worldwide and often leads to high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite extensive research, the cause of NEC remains unclear, and current treatment options are limited. An important novel finding is the potential role of intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase (IAP) in both pathogenesis and treatment of NEC. IAP can play a vital role in detoxifying liposaccharides (LPS), a key mediator of many pathological processes, thereby reducing the inflammatory response associated with NEC. Furthermore, IAP can help prevent dysbiosis, improve intestinal perfusion, and promote autophagy. In this comprehensive review, we present evidence of the possible connection between IAP and the LPS/Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway, impaired gut immunity, and dysbiosis in the preterm gut. Based on these findings, the administration of exogenous IAP might provide promising preventive and therapeutic avenues for the management of NEC.

    Abstract Background: Fetal and neonatal exposure to antibiotics may contribute to the development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate whether exposure to third trimester maternal antibiotics (MAB) and/or prolongation of empirical antibiotics (PEAB) are associated with NEC development in preterms.
    Method: We included observational and randomized controlled studies, including those on preterm or very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, from MEDLINE and EMBASE, published between 1990 and June 2021. Exposure was defined as third trimester MAB and/or PEAB. The two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment.
    Results: Three cohort studies compared third trimester MAB with no antibiotics. MAB was associated with lower NEC incidence, unadjusted pooled odds ratio (OR) is 0.57 (95% CI: 0.35-0.93). Twelve cohort studies showed that PEAB was associated with an increased risk of NEC. Ten observational cohort studies show an unadjusted OR of 2.72 (1.65-4.47), and two case-control studies show an unadjusted mean difference of 2.31 (0.94-3.68). Moderate to substantial heterogeneity was observed but decreased in studies with low risk of bias and large sample size.
    Conclusion: Evidence suggests an association between MAB and decreased risk of NEC and an association between PEAB and increased risk of NEC. Further studies should confirm these associations and explore causality.

    Abstract Background: Critical decision making in surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is highly complex and hard to capture in decision rules due to case-specificity and high mortality risk. In this choice experiment, we aimed to identify the implicit weight of decision factors towards future decision support, and to assess potential differences between specialties or centers.
    Methods: Thirty-five hypothetical surgical NEC scenarios with different factor levels were evaluated by neonatal care experts of all Dutch neonatal care centers in an online environment, where a recommendation for surgery or comfort care was requested. We conducted choice analysis by constructing a binary logistic regression model according to behavioral artificial intelligence technology (BAIT).
    Results: Out of 109 invited neonatal care experts, 62 (57%) participated, including 45 neonatologists, 16 pediatric surgeons and one neonatology physician assistant.
    Conclusion: We demonstrated how BAIT can analyze the implicit weight of factors in the complex and critical decision for surgery or comfort care for (surgical) NEC. The findings reflect Dutch expertise, but the technique can be expanded internationally. After validation, our choice model/BAIT may function as decision aid.

    Methods: Cystic duct and gallbladder tissue derived from patients undergoing a cholecystectomy were collected, preserved and used for preparation of precision-cut cystic duct slices (PCCDS) and precision-cut gallbladder slices (PCGS). The PCCDS and PCGS were prepared using a mechanical tissue slicer and subsequently incubated for 24 and 48 h respectively in William's Medium E (WME) culture medium. Viability was assessed based on ATP/protein content and tissue morphology [hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining].
    Results: It was shown that viability, assessed by the ATP/protein content and morphology, of the PCCDS (
    Conclusion: This study is the first to report on the use of the PCTS model for human gallbladder and cystic duct tissue. PCCDS and PCGS remain viable for an incubation period of at least 24 h, which makes them suitable for research purposes in the field of cholangiopathies, including biliary atresia.

    Abstract Background: Despite an increasing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) incidence, treatment strategies have failed to make major advancements towards improved NEC outcomes. Heterogeneity in outcome reporting and a lack of treatment efficacy studies potentially hamper these advancements. We aimed to analyze outcome reporting in recent interventional NEC studies.
    Methods: We performed a systematic review identifying interventional studies on NEC between 1st of January 2016 and 1st of June 2023 in MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and Cochrane reviews. Systematic reviews, clinical trials and change-in-practice cohort studies reporting any therapeutic intervention for NEC patients (Bell's stage ≥ IIa) were eligible. We excluded studies on NEC diagnostics or prevention and non-English publications. Outcomes were categorized into five core areas and presented descriptively. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022302712).
    Results: Out of 1.642 screened records, 65 were eligible for full-text review and 15 were finally included for data extraction. Median number of reported outcomes per article was six (range 1-19). We identified 66 unique outcomes, which were mapped to 53 outcome terms. Thirty-four out of the 53 of the outcome terms (64%) were only reported in a single article. Mortality was the most reported outcome (11/15 articles, 73%). Core area 'Adverse outcomes' contained the most outcome terms (n = 19), whereas 'Life impact' contained the least outcome terms (n = 4) and was represented in 3 articles (20%).
    Conclusions: Considerable heterogeneity in outcome reporting and a paucity of outcomes concerning 'Life impact' exist in interventional NEC studies. Development of a NEC core outcome set may improve consistency and patient-relevance in outcome reporting.
    Study type: Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses.
