Abstract:

Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most important complications encountered in neonatal units. It has been proposed that phototherapy yields oxidative stress. Therefore, this study was undertaken to survey the levels of antioxidant and oxidative stress in the serum of neonates before and after phototherapy. Methods: This study was performed on thirty-five healthy, late preterm (>35 weeks) and term newborns aged 6-10 days, who underwent phototherapy due to hyperbilirubinemia (>14.00 mg/dL). Infants with a congenital malformation, birth asphyxia, sepsis, signs and symptoms suggestive of severe illness, and receiving phototherapy before recruitment to the study were excluded. Blood samples were taken to determine total serum bilirubin, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of serum, malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) as markers of the intensity of oxidative stress and inflammation with photometric methods, reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH) by HPLC-UV as well as the ratio of them before and after phototherapy. Results: TAC, GSH and bilirubin levels were significantly lower after phototherapy than before it, but reversely about levels of MDA, AOPP and oxidized GSH in addition to the ratio of reduced to oxidized GSH (p<0.05-0.001). AOPP and MDA showed a high negative correlation with bilirubin (respectively R=-0.985 and -0.986, p<0.001)) while vice versa about TAC and GSH (R=0.975 and 0.988, P<0.001). Conclusion: Phototherapy induces oxidative stress and inflammation not only due to the elevation of protein and lipid oxidation but also with reducing of antioxidant markers of serum.

SUPINE VERSUS TURNING POSITION ON BILIRUBIN LEVEL DURING PHOTOTHERAPY IN HEALTHY TERM JAUNDICED NEONATES

Position changes are believed to increase the efficacy of phototherapy and this practice is routinely used in all neonatal departments in our country. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of routine turning on the total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentration versus only supine position. In a randomized clinical trial fifty healthy term jaundiced neonates who were admitted to the ...

Periventricular Hemorrhage in Term and Late Preterm Neonates: Risk Factors and Outcomes

Background: Periventricular hemorrhage (PVH) is common in early preterm neonates but much less common in term and late preterm neonates. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors and outcomes of PVH in term and late preterm neonates in a tertiary care center in Upper Egypt. Methods: A total of 33 term and late preterm (≥ 34 weeks...
