“…As a consequence of elevated serum bile acid levels, bile acid synthesis from cholesterol is depleted resulting in hypercholesterolaemia. 5,6 Cholestasis can result in chronic liver dysfunction, liver transplantation, or even death. Therefore, early diagnosis, timely evaluation, and appropriate treatment are important.…”

Cholestasis in children is a serious condition due to various aetiologic factors. If children with jaundice present with acholic stool, dark urine colour, or direct hyperbilirubinaemia, the patient should be evaluated urgently. Early and timely diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment are extremely important determinants of morbidity and mortality. In the neonatal period, idiopathic neonatal cholestasis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, cholestasis from infections, and biliary atresia are the most common causes of cholestasis. Nowadays, with the development of genetic and molecular biological studies, the diagnosis of many diseases that have previously been evaluated as ‘idiopathic‘ can be made. It is the aetiological factor that determines the prognosis. The treatment plan is created in accordance with aetiological causes and in response to symptoms such as pruritus and malabsorption: this can be surgical treatment across a diverse spectrum, from biliary diversion to liver transplantation. In this study, the aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment of cholestasis in babies and infants are reviewed in the light of current literature.

“…1 Chitosan is a partially deacetylated polymer of acetyl glucosamine obtained after alkaline deacetylation of chitin. It comprises copolymers of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine 2 and has a combination of many unique properties such as nontoxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. 3 Chitosan has got wide application in textile dyeing and finishing as a substitute for the various chemicals used in textile processing.…”

A water-soluble carboxymethyl chitosan was prepared with a view to develop a multifunctional finish on cotton. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) was synthesized by chemical reaction of chitosan with monochloroacetic acid under alkaline condition. The water soluble CMCTS was applied to cationized cotton with different concentrations. The treated fabrics were characterized through monitoring the textile physical properties and for the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli DSMZ 498 and Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341. The results obtained show that the physical properties of the treated fabrics are improved by increasing the CMCTS concentration, as well as the antibacterial activity.
