“…Estudos sobre a suplementação de zinco têm mostrado efeitos positivos sobre os desfechos clínicos e o crescimento, especialmente entre crianças com o crescimento afetado 31,32 . Hambidge et al 22 consideraram que a necessidade de zinco para crianças com doença hepática deveria ser cerca de 40% maior do que aquela considerada para crianças saudáveis.…”

Objective: To determine plasma zinc concentrations in children and adolescents with cirrhosis and to investigate the association between these results and dietary zinc intake, anthropometric data, and severity of liver disease.Methods: Plasma zinc concentration was assessed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 30 children and adolescents with cirrhosis (105.0±60.0 months; 22 girls) and 27 without liver disease (122.3±47.3 months, 14 girls). Dietary zinc data were evaluated by 3-day food intake records. Anthropometry measures included height, weight, skinfold thickness, brachial circumference, and upper arm muscle size. Severity of liver disease was classified according to the Child-Pugh, MELD, and PELD criteria. Results:The mean (± standard deviation) plasma zinc concentrations in control subjects and patients were 105.69±19.46 and 75.44±24.45 µg/dL, respectively (p < 0.001). No associations were found between anthropometric measures, dietary zinc intake, and plasma zinc concentration. There was statistical difference related to plasma zinc concentrations between Child-Pugh B + C patients and control subjects (p < 0.001), and concerning PELD, between patients below the cutoff score of 15 and those above (p = 0.002). Conclusions:The prevalence of hypozincemia was 43% for patients with cirrhosis. Although low plasma zinc concentration was associated with more severe liver disease, it was present even in some Child-Pugh A patients. Therefore, zinc supplementation should be considered for cirrhotic children.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2009;85(4):359-364: Zinc, liver cirrhosis, anthropometry, child. ResumoObjetivo: Determinar a concentração plasmática de zinco em crianças e adolescentes cirróticos e investigar a associação entre esses resultados e a ingestão dietética de zinco, os dados antropométricos e a gravidade da doença hepática.Métodos: As concentrações plasmáticas de zinco foram avaliadas por espectrofotometria de absorção atômica em 30 crianças e adolescentes com cirrose (105,0±60,0 meses; 22 meninas) e 27 hígidas e sem doença hepática (122,3±47,3 meses, 14 meninas). Os dados relacionados ao zinco dietético foram avaliados por registro de ingestão alimentar de 3 dias. A antropometria incluiu peso, altura, espessura da dobra cutânea, circunferência braquial e área muscular do braço. A gravidade da doença hepática foi classificada de acordo com os critérios de Child-Pugh, MELD e PELD. Resultados: As concentrações plasmáticas de zinco dos indivíduos controles e dos pacientes foram 105,69±19,46 e 75,44±24,45 µg/dL, respectivamente (p < 0,001). Nenhuma associação foi encontrada entre os índices antropométricos, a ingestão dietética e o zinco plasmático. Houve diferença estatística nas concentrações de zinco plasmático entre pacientes Child-Pugh B+C e controles (p < 0,001), e com relação ao PELD, entre pacientes abaixo e acima do ponto de corte 15 (p = 0,002). Conclusão:A prevalência de hipozincemia foi de 43% para pacientes com cirrose. A baixa concentração plasmática de zinco foi associada com a doença hepát...

“…25 Trials of zinc supplementation have shown positive effects on clinical outcomes and growth, especially among children who are stunted. 31,32 Hambidge et al, 22 studying children with biliary atresia, considered that the zinc requirement for net absorption would be 40% greater than that of healthy infants. Considering that the liver impairment affects the zinc metabolism and absorption of dietetic zinc, we believe that zinc supplementation could improve the zinc status of these patients.…”

“…Ramakrishnan et al, [4] suggests stunting can be prevented through the provision complementary feeding from ages 6 to 24 months of the first children's lives. The study results of Sunaryo [5], showed that were given complementary feeding with the addition of L-glutamine have an increase in length better than the control group and were given complementary feeding without the addition of Lglutamine.…”

Abstract-Growth disorders in children under five can occur since the age of 6 months. one of the strategies to tackle the problem is through complementary feeding. Ripe awak bananas has been used as baby food since long time ago, so it's worth developed into complementary feeding. The purpose of study was to know the increaase in length of infants who were given the complementary feeding mixed of ripe awak bananas flour and soybean sprouts. Research done by quasy experimental non equivalent control group design, i.e. giving the complementary feeding for three months, using samples of 75 infants age 6 to 9 months, which were divided into three groups. The each group was given complementary feeding: ripe awak bananas flour, a mixture ripe awak bananas flour and soy sprouts, and the complementary feeding family (control). The results showed that the average increase in length of infants who were given complementary feeding ripe Awak bananas flour and a mixture ripe Awak bananas flour and soy sprouts was higher than control groups. But, the average increase in length of infants who were given a mixture ripe Awak bananas and soy sprouts was highest among the other groups. Concluded that the complementary feeding mixed of ripe Awak bananas flour and soy sprouts can be used as an alternative to prevention of stunting in children under five.Keywords-complementary feeding, ripe Awak bananas flour, soy sprout, the increase in length of infants
