Objectives To evaluate the effect and safety of Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie in children with acute diarrhea. Methods A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled clinical trial was carried out in three hospitals from March 2011 to December 2012. Children with acute diarrhea were enrolled and divided randomly into two groups, the observation group (treated with Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie) and the control group (treated with smectite powder). Boths groups received oral rehydration salts treatment. Symptoms and signs were recorded before and after therapy. The therapeutic effect was evaluated at 3 and 5 days after therapy. All of the adverse drug reactions were recorded during the study. Results In 197 children who completed the study, 100 children received Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie and 97 received smectite powder. Both groups were similar in age and gender distribution, weight, duration and frequency of diarrhea, times of vomiting, degree of dehydration and so on (P>0.05). After therapy, effective rates of the observation group at 3 days (97%) and 5 days (100%) were similar to those of control group (P>0.05). The effective rate for relieving vomiting in the observation group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05). No obvious adverse drug reactions were found during the study. Conclusions Xiao Er Fu Xie Tie has the same effect as smectite powder for treatment of acute diarrhea in children and is more effective in vomiting. Furthermore, no obvious adverse drug re-actions were found.

Objective To investigate the etiology, epidemiologic features and drug resistance tendency of acute infectious diarrhea among children in Beijing area. Methods Enteric pathogenic bacteria were isolated, cultured and identified for serotype from the stool specimens of children with the initial clinical diagnosis of acute bacterial diarrhea in the intestinal clinic from January to October in 2009 ,and the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria was tested by disk diffusion method. The cluster A rotavirus antigen was also detected by the qualitative technique of immunochromatographic double-antibody sandwich assay. Results Of the 256 stool specimens, 87 strains of 4 species of pathogenic bacteria were detected with the detectable rate of 34. 0% ,of which 2 strains were detected in one stool sample ,including 40 strains of salmonella (46. 0%) ,23 strains of shigella (26. 4%) ,2 strains of diarrheogenic escherichia coli (2. 3%) and 22 strains of staphylococcus aureus (25.3%). The positively detected patients consisted of 54 males and 32 females with the ratio of 1.69∶1 ,of whom 55 cases (64. 0%) were under 2 years of age. Of the 13 strains of shigella, 13 were sonnei shigella (56. 5%). And of the 22 strains of staphylococcus aureus,20 were detected among the infants under 1 year of age. The rates of crug resistance to certain antibiotics were lower in salmonella than in shigella (ampicillin :65. 0% vs. 95.7% ;compound sulfamethoxazole:20. 0% vs. 78. 3% ;ciprofloxacin:7.5% vs.8. 7% ;ceftriaxone: 15.0% vs. 73.9%). Of the 256 stool specimens ,47 were found positive for cluster A rotavirus,of whom 13 were also positive in stool bacteria culture. Conclusion Salmonella is the major pathogen among children with bacterial diarrhea in Beijing in 2009, and sonnei shigella is the main epidemic strains of shigella diarrhea. lnfants under 2 years of age are the susceptible population of the above two species of bacteria, while staphylococcus aureus mainly infect the infants under 1 years of age. Multi-resistance in shigella is still serious. The incidence of mixed infections of bacteria and rotavirus increases in children with infectious diarrhea.
