Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in children with type I diabetes: Part 1.

Diabetes is a major risk factor for premature morbidity and mortality caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although an increased prevalence of lipid abnormalities in many populations with diabetes has been observed, minimal data exist regarding the distribution, correlates, and determinants of lipid levels of children with diabetes. Early identification of hyperlipidemia and other CVD risk factors is requisite to timely and specific nursing interventions. Part 1 of this two part series will discuss the lipid profile, the link between cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and physiological risk factors for CVD in children with diabetes.

Fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) analysis by capillary gas-liquid chromatography.

A new method is described for short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) analysis in stool samples. After sample purification by acid vacuum transfer and concentration by alkaline freeze-drying, SCFAs were measured by gas-liquid chromatography using a capillary column. Peak resolution and reproducibility were superior to SCFA analysis on a conventional glass column. With this new technique SCFA were quantitated in stool samples of six healthy volunteers on a basal diet with and without a fermentable dietary fiber preparation; fiber had no effect on fecal SCFA concentration. In two patients with a short-bowel syndrome, SCFA could be demonstrated in stool samples, indicating active fermentation.
