Objective:To investigate the frequency and severity of systemic adverse reactions in children with allergic rhinitis (AR) undergoing subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT).Methods:The clinical data of 321 children with allergic rhinitis receiving SCIT at Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Changzhou Third People′s Hospital from January 2016 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 180 boys and 141 girls aged 5 to 14 years. Patients were injected subcutaneously with standardized dust mites allergen extract. The onset time, symptoms and signs and treatment of adverse reactions were documented. The relationship of adverse reactions with gender, age, treatment course and dosage of allergen injection were analyzed.Results:Patients received total 13 053 injections, and 115 adverse reactions (0.88%) occurred in 56 cases (17.45%). The incidence of adverse reactions in children aged 5-9 years was higher than in those aged 10-14 years, for both the number of cases and injections (χ2=4.41, P=0.04; χ2=9.13, P<0.01), but no significant differences were observed in gender of patients. The incidence of adverse reactions in the age group 2-3 years was lower than that in age groups<1 year and 1-<2 years in both of cases and injections (χ2=22.86, P<0.01; χ2=6.43, P=0.01; χ2=12.14, P<0.01; χ2=13.74, P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in the high-dosage phase (100 000 SQ-U) was higher than that in the low-dosage phase (<100 000 SQ-U) (χ2=4.35, P=0.04). Conclusions:The study shows that the incidence of adverse reactions in children with allergic rhinitis receiving subcutaneous immunotherapy is less than 1% in the number of injections and most of them are grade Ⅰ adverse reactions. The study also shows that younger age, the early course of treatment and the high dosage of allergens are risk factors for adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE To test and compare the median effective dose(ED50) of ciprofol for gastroscope in patients of different genders and ages. METHODS Patients who planed to undergo gastroscope examination and treatment from March 2023 to April 2023 were selected, and divided into four groups according to stratified random method: N1 group(non-elderly male patients), N2 group(non-elderly female patients), N3 group(elderly male patients), and N4 group(elderly female patients). All patients received intravenous injection of 0.1 μg·kg−1 sufentanil followed by injection of the test dose of ciprofol according to Dixon’s modified sequential method. Gastroscope was performed after the disappearance of the eyelash reflex. The initial dose of ciprofol in all four groups was 0.4 mg·kg−1, and the ratio of adjacent doses was 1∶1.1. The next patient would receive a 10% increase in the dose of ciprofol if the patient experienced positive reactions such as coughing, frowning, and body movements during the endoscopy process. Otherwise, it would be judged as a negative reaction, and the next patient would receive a 10% decrease in the dose of ciprofol. The transition from a positive reaction to a negative reaction was defined as a turning point, and the study was terminated when seven turning points occurred. Hemodynamic parameters, oxygen saturation and adverse reactions were recorded at different time points. The Probit regression analysis method was used to calculate the ED50 of ciprofol for four groups. RESULTS The ED50 of ciprofol combined with 0.1 μg·kg−1 sufentanil for gastroscope in the non-elderly men, non-elderly women, elderly men, and elderly women were 0.409, 0.373, 0.356, 0.327 mg·kg−1, respectively. The ED50 of ciprofol in the N1 group was significantly higher compared with the N2 group and N3 group(P<0.05). The ED50 of ciprofol in the N4 group was significantly lower compared with the N2 group and N3 group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION The ED50 of ciprofol is significantly different among gastroscope patients of different genders and ages, which is lower in female patients than in male patients, and is lower in older patients than in non-elderly patients.

To cope with the " six major scientific problems" and the " five major technical challenges" of intelligent manufacturing and lean production of Chinese medicine( CM),we systematically proposed strategies,methods and the engineering theory of intelligent and lean manufacturing for CM by integrating the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine and the concepts inspired from international advanced pharmaceutical technology. Moreover,the translational research of the theory and methods was successfully applied to six CMs such as Xuesaitong Injection. Several intelligent production lines were designed and built on the basis of the theory and methods,which greatly accelerated the digitalization,networking,and intelligence manufacture for CM. As a conclusion,the theory and applications provide technical demonstration for technical upgrading and high-quality development of CM industry.
