To measure mesenteric fat thickness with ultrasound scan in neonates and to assess the correlation with waist circumference.
Ninety five healthy newborns had the maximum thickness of mesenteric leaves measured by ultrasound examinations of abdomen with an Envisor scanner (Philips Ultrasound, Bothell, Wash) and a L12-5 transducer (Philips Ultrasound). The correlation between the thickness of mesenteric leaves with abdominal waist was calculated.
Maximum thickness of mesenteric leaves ranged from 0.24 to 1.00 mm (x = 0.57 ± 0.17) . There was a significant negative correlation between abdominal waist (AW) and mesenteric fat thickness (r = -0.384; p < 0.001).
Mesenteric fat thickness in newborns is inversely associated with waist circumference. Higher visceral adiposity in neonates may be a protective mechanism from intrauterine growth restriction however this could persist into adulthood life.
通过超声扫描测量新生儿肠系膜脂肪厚度,并评估其与腰围的相关性。
95名健康新生儿用飞利浦超声公司(华盛顿州博塞尔市)的Envisor扫描仪和L12 - 5探头(飞利浦超声)进行腹部超声检查,测量肠系膜叶的最大厚度。计算肠系膜叶厚度与腹围之间的相关性。
肠系膜叶的最大厚度在0.24至1.00毫米之间(x = 0.57±0.17)。腹围(AW)与肠系膜脂肪厚度之间存在显著负相关(r = -0.384;p < 0.001)。
新生儿肠系膜脂肪厚度与腰围呈负相关。新生儿较高的内脏脂肪含量可能是一种预防宫内生长受限的保护机制,然而这种情况可能持续至成年期。
