Objective To evaluate the nursing effect of orientation of traditional Chinese medicine drug therapy combined with multiple frequency vibration therapeutic instrument in treating pediatric pneumonia with dyspneic cough. Methods A total of 277 children (pneumonia with dyspneic cough syndrome of wind-cold invading lung, wind-heat invading, lungphlegm-heat congesting lung) were enrolled in this study. They were divided into the orientation of traditional Chinese medicine drug therapy combined with multiple frequency vibration therapeutic instrument group (lung therapy and sputum excretion group,100 cases), the orientation of traditional Chinese medicine drug therapy group (lung therapy group, 94 cases) and the multiple frequency vibration therapeutic instrument group (sputum excretion group, 83 cases) by random digits table method.The main symptoms improvements, therapeutic evaluation, the comfortable level of the children, family satisfaction degree of the 3 groups were evaluated before and after 5 days of treatment. Results After 5 days, the main symptoms score was (7.22±2.74) points in the lung therapy and sputum vibration group, and (8.98±3.40), (8.78±2.91) points in the lung therapy group and sputum excretion group, there were significant differences among 3 groups, F=9.756, P<0.01. The nursing effect in the lung therapy and sputum vibration group was better than that in the other two groups,and there were significant differences among 3 groups, Z=10.376, P<0.01. There were no significant differences among 3 groups in the comfortable level of the children,χ2=1.868,P>0.05. The family satisfaction degree in the lung therapy and sputum vibration group was higher than that in the other two groups, and there were significant differences among 3 groups, χ2=9.102, P<0.05. Conclusions The nursing effect of orientation of traditional Chinese medicine drug therapy combined with multiple frequency vibration therapeutic instrument has more advantages in treating pediatric pneumonia with dyspneic cough.

Objective To analyze the association of miR-326 mRNA expression level on regulatory T cells between clinical manifestations of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in order to inves-tigate the role of miR-326 on Treg cells and pathogenesis as well as its association with disease activity of SLE. Methods Twenty milimeter anti-coagulated peripheral blood was obtained from 52 SLE patients and 20 healthy controls. Treg were purified by MACS from peripheral blood, in which the quantity of miR-326 and Ets-1 mRNA were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Data were analyzed by using Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results Compared with healthy controls [0.921(0.345, 1.879)], the expression of miR-326 mRNA level was significantly higher in Treg from SLE patients [2.927 (0.518, 8.662) (Z=-3.756, P<0.05). The difference between new-onset SLE patients [8.878(5.922, 12.466)] and recurrence group [3.512(0.582, 11.223)] with healthy controls was significant (Z=-2.135, Z=-4.928, P<0.05). The expression level of miR-326 in new-onset SLE patients was higher than inactive SLE patients (Z=-4.928, P<0.05). Significant difference of the expression level of miR-326 mRNA was found between new-onset SLE patients with serous cavity effusion [7.606(0.656, 16.795)] and new-onset SLE patients without it [1.840(0.576, 13.025)](Z=4.263, P<0.05). Our analysis showed that significant positive correlation was found between the expression of miR-326 mRNA in Treg with CRP (rs=0.481, P<0.05) and anti-C1q antibody (rs=0.729, P<0.05) from new-onset SLE patients. Conclusion The expression level of miR-326 is upregulated in Treg from SLE patients and is associated with disease active index, which suggests that miR-326 in Treg may participate the pathological process and disease activity in SLE.

Background::Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a vascular complication after kidney transplantation associated with poor outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of low-dose aspirin for preventing TRAS.Methods::After kidney transplantation, patients were enrolled from January 2018 to December 2020 in Henan Provincial People’s Hospital. A total of 351 enrolled recipients were randomized to an aspirin group with low-dose intake of aspirin in addition to standard treatment ( n = 178), or a control group with only standard treatment ( n = 173). The patients was initially diagnosed as TRAS (id-TRAS) by Doppler ultrasound, and confirmed cases were diagnosed by DSA (c-TRAS). Results::In the aspirin and control groups, 15.7% (28/178) and 22.0% (38/173) of the recipients developed id-TRAS, respectively, with no statistical difference. However, for c-TRAS, the difference of incidence and cumulative incidence was statistically significant. The incidence of c-TRAS was lower in the aspirin group compared with the control group (2.8% [5/178] vs. 11.6% [20/173], P = 0.001). Kaplan–Meier estimates and Cox regression model identified the cumulative incidence and hazard ratio (HR) of TRAS over time in two groups, showing that recipients treated with aspirin had a significantly lower risk of c-TRAS than those who were not treated (log-rank P = 0.001, HR = 0.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.09–0.62). The levels of platelet aggregation rate ( P < 0.001), cholesterol ( P = 0.028), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( P = 0.003) in the aspirin group were decreased compared with the control group in the third-month post-transplantation. For the incidence of adverse events, there was no statistical difference. Conclusion::Clinical application of low-dose aspirin after renal transplant could prevent the development of TRAS with no significant increase in adverse effects.Trial Registration::Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04260828.
