Cohort studies are important observational epidemiological studies. In this perspective, we briefly introduced several ongoing prospective cohort studies of cardiometabolic diseases in China and in the U. S. , which have shaped our current understanding of cardiometabolic diseases. We hope that this perspective could shed lights on the research of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy and safety of Yanhuning injection in the treatment of bronchial pneumonia in children.Methods 102 cases of bronchial pneumonia were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,51 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional treatment, the observation group was given Yanhuning injection on the basis of the treatment of control group.The clinical efficacy after treatment,clinical symptoms and signs disappeared time and adverse drug reaction were compared between the two groups.Results In the observation group after treatment,the cured,improvement,invalid cases were 27 cases, 23 cases,1 case,the total effective rate was 98.04%,which in the control group were 18 cases,25 cases,8 cases,the total effective rate was 84.31%.The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2 =5.97,P <0.05).The cough asthma,shadows in the lungs,pulmonary rales and heating time in the observation group were (5.19 ±2.31)days,(6.00 ±1.86)days,(5.16 ±1.51)days,(2.07 ±0.85)days, which were significantly shorter than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t =4.23, 5.01,3.95,384,all P <0.05).The incidence rate of adverse drug reactions in the observation group was 25.49%, and the difference was not statistically significant compared with the control group (P >0.05).Conclusion Yan-huning injection for the treatment of children with bronchial pneumonia can significantly improve the clinical curative effect,shorten the disappearance time of the clinical symptoms and signs,the curative effect is reliable,high security.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of montelukast sodium in the treatment of cough vari-ant asthma in children,to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods 128 cases of children with cough variant asthma were randomly divided into observation group and control group of 64 cases.The control group with routine measures for the treatment of asthma in children for treatment,the observation group in the control group based on the treatment regimen,plus montelukast sodium chawing treatment.The changes of the two groups were compared after 12 weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy and lung function indexes before and after treatment.Through 6 months of follow -up,the recurrence of the disease between the two groups after treatment.Results The effective rate in the observation group was 43.75%,the total effective rate was 93.75%,which were significantly higher than those of the control group (χ2 =4.53,P <0.05);the two groups after treatment of FEV1 ,FVC,FEV1 /FVC,PEF and PEF during the day at night were significantly higher than those before treatment (t =4.11,3.23,3.82,5.12,3.12,5.54,4.31, 4.98,6.22,4.45,all P <0.05);After treatment,the FEV1 [(3.08 ±0.43)L],FVC[(3.89 ±0.52)L],FEV1 /FVC [(75.95 ±6.51)%],PEF day[(3.24 ±0.91 )L/s],PEF for the night[(3.51 ±1.01 )L/s]of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t =3.67,3.10,3.43,2.92,3.01,all P <0.05);The recurrence rate of the observation group was 3.13%,which was significantly lower than that of the control group (χ2 =4.82,P <0.05).Conclusion The clinical efficacy of montelukast can significantly improve cough variant asthma in children,improve children's lung function,reduce the recurrence rate of cough variant asthma.

Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of microbe?derived antioxidant on sleep and antioxidant ability in mice. Methods Sixty male Kunming mice with similar body weight were randomly divided into 4 groups. The control group received normal saline, and the experimental groups received microbe?derived antioxidant in a dose of 0?5 g/kg bw, 1?0 g/kg bw or 1?5 g/kg bw once per day, respectively. The experiment period was 30 days. At the end of experiment, the mice of each group were intraperitoneally injected sodium pentobarbital to induce sleep. The mice fall sleep was judged by righting reflex. After the test of sleep, blood was taken for detection of serum antioxidant ability. Results Compared with the low dose and high dose groups, the middle dose group showed a significantly prolonged sodium pentobarbital?induced sleeping time (P<0?05). Compared with the control group, low and high dose groups, the middle dose group had highly significantly increased GSH?Px activity ( P <0?01 ) and significantly increased content of SOD. Under these conditions, the middle dose group reduced both the contents of MDA and 8?ISO?PGF2α ( P<0?05 ) compared with the control group. Conclusions Our results suggest that microbe?derived antioxidant exerts effect on sleep and antioxidant ability in rats. Supplement of 1?0 g/kg bw/d shows the most significant effects.

To a certain extent, itemized government subsidies to public hospitals, primarily used for hospital infra-structure and large equipment investments, can alleviate the financial pressure of development expenditures and thus re-duce the medical expenditure burden on patients. To test the hypothesis, the panel data method has been adopted based on the data of 23 tertiary hospitals. Empirical results find that:(1) increases in itemized subsidies will reduce the burden of medical expenses on patients;(2) conversely, the impact of itemized subsidies on outpatient medical expenses is more sig-nificant. By sharing a portion of public hospital expenses and impacting hospital service providing behavior, itemized sub-sidies help to reduce the burden of medical expenses on patients.

Retrovirus (RV), a major pathogen in acute gastroenteritis in children that may lead to severe disease and heavy burdens on national economy. There is no speciifc drug treatment for the gastroenteritis caused by RV, and vaccine has been identiifed as the most effective intervention to control the associated disease burden. The RV vaccine showed differential effects on different RV infection. In China, epidemiology of RV is more complex hence demands more epidemiologic studies. In this article, we will review the epidemiology of RV in China and further discuss the importance of generalized RV vaccine.

BACKGROUND:Pediatric knee dysfunction is a congenital malformation. Fusion and fixation can effectively eliminate pain, but no joint has active function. Total knee arthroplasty is a safe and effective method to relieve pain and to rebuild its function. With the continuous development of total knee arthroplasty, the type of knee prostheses is more. OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy of different reconstruction methods for children with stunted knee arthroplasty. METHODS:120 knee stunted children were equaly divided into treatment group and control group depended on the reconstruction, and then al children were given the artificial knee replacement surgery and were completed by the same group of physicians. In the control group, stable fixed platform prosthesis was selected. In the treatment group, the non-limiting prosthetic-posterior cruciate ligament resection of low contact pressure rotating platform prosthesis was given. Operative time, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and complications were observed in both groups. Al patients were folowed up for 3 months. Knee function was assessed by Hospital for Special Surgery and American knee society knee score. Multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze the possible factors affecting Hospital for Special Surgery score during folow up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: No significant difference in operative time, blood loss and postoperative hospital stay was compared in both groups (P> 0.05). The postoperative overal incidences of inflammatory response, wound healing, periprosthetic infection, and joint stiff were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). At 3-month folowed-up, Hospital for Special Surgery and American knee society knee score clinical score and functional score were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Hospital for Special Surgery score > 80 served as a standard. Multivariate regression analysis results showed that age, type of prosthesis, and varus deformity were the major independent risk factors for affecting joint replacement (P< 0.05). Results indicate that knee arthroplasty for knee dysfunction obtained good prognostic effect. Simultaneously, the non-limiting application of prosthetic reconstruction can effectively reduce postoperative complications and improve knee function.
