Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common chronic non-infectious inflammatory diseases in children. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) employs a comprehensive therapeutic system integrating treatment by stages and syndrome differentiation and treatment, demonstrating significant advantages in the management of pediatric AR. This article systematically reviews the clinical treatment methods and underlying mechanisms of TCM for pediatric AR in recent years. It is found that internal therapies (such as herbal formulas or Chinese patent medicines like Xiaoqinglong decoction, Yiqi tuomin decoction), external therapies (including intradermal needles, acupoint application, tuina, and herbal nasal therapy), as well as combined internal and external approaches (oral herbs combined with acupoint application), have demonstrated significant effects in alleviating clinical symptoms, improving immune indicators, and reducing recurrence rates in children with AR. The underlying mechanisms are primarily associated with the regulation of signaling pathways such as Toll-like receptor/nuclear factor-kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase, thereby modulating immune balance, suppressing inflammatory responses, inhibiting pyroptosis, reducing mucus secretion, and promoting nasal mucosal repair.

Objective To explore the effects of intravenous treprostinil in different doses on the hemodynamics and postoperative outcomes after high-risk total cavo-pulmonary connection (TCPC). Methods From 2018 to 2021, among 189 patients who underwent TCPC in the Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery of Fuwai Hospital, 26 high-risk patients who received the intravenous treprostinil therapy were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 males and 14 females, with an age of 4 (3, 6) years and a weight of 17.6±6.2 kg. The patients were divided into two groups: a high-dose group [15 patients, maintaining dose>10 ng/(kg·min)] and a low-dose group [11 patients, maintaining dose≤ 10 ng/(kg·min)]. The hemodynamics before treprostinil using and during the first 24 hours after reaching the maintaining dose of treprostinil, and postoperative outcomes of the two groups were investigated. Results The incidence of heterotaxia was higher in the high-dose group (66.7% vs. 18.2%, P=0.021). During the observation period, the mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased from 11.9±3.6 mm Hg to 11.0±3.3 mm Hg in the low-dose group (P=0.013), and from 12.9±4.7 mm Hg to 10.2±3.4 mm Hg in the high-dose group (P=0.001). The decreasing effect in the high-dose group was better than that in the low-dose group (P=0.010). There was no statistical difference in the postoperative outcomes between the two groups (P>0.05). In terms of side effects, patients needed temporarily increased dosage of vasoactive drugs to maintain stable blood pressure during 6-12 h after treprostinil therapy in the high-dose group. Conclusion In patients after high-risk TCPC, intravenous high-dose treprostinil has a better therapeutic effect on reducing pulmonary artery pressure. However, it should be noted that increased dosage of vasoactive agents may be required to maintain blood pressure stability in patients with high-dose treprostinil.

ObjectiveTo observe the protective effect of Shenlian prescription on acute lung injury induced by particulate matter (PM) exposure in rats and explore the mechanism. MethodFifty male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, model group, Shenlian low-dose group (4.32 g·kg-1), Shenlian high-dose group (8.64 g·kg-1), and roflumilast group (3.46 mg·kg-1), with 10 in each group. Pre-administration with drugs by gavage was performed for one week. On the 8th and 11th days, the control group was instilled with normal saline in the trachea and the other groups with PM suspension to establish a rat model of acute lung injury induced by PM exposure. After modeling, drugs were given continuously until the end of the experiment. Forty-eight hours after the last exposure, the lung function of rats was detected. Then the rats were sacrificed and the lung morphological changes and pathological changes by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining were observed. CD68 expression in lung was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the levels of lung injury markers surfactant protein A (SP-A) and Clara cell protein16 (CC16) in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression of interleukin-1α (IL-1α), IL-6, IL-18, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in lung tissue was measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultCompared with those in the control group, the rats in the model group had decreased lung function and obvious structural damage of lung tissue, PM deposition, and infiltration of CD68 positive cells. The expressions of IL-1α, IL-6, IL-18, and MCP-1 in lung tissue were increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Shenlian prescription low and high doses restored the rats' lung function injury(P<0.05,P<0.01), improved lung morphological and pathological structure, and reduced PM deposition. Infiltration of CD68 positive cells in lung was not significantly decreased. The levels of inflammatory factors IL-1α, IL -6, IL-18, and MCP-1 in lung were lowered (P<0.01). ConclusionShenlian prescription could protect the rats' lung injury caused by PM exposure, improve lung morphology, and reduce PM deposition and inflammatory factor expression.

Primary acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) of the lung is extremely rare. The World Health Organization tumor classification defines ACC as "a malignant epithelial neoplasm that demonstrates some cytological differentiation towards (serous) acinar cells". It is considered to be a low-grade malignant tumor. Since the first case described by Fechner in 1972, less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature. The rarity of this tumor may leads it to be confused with other primary lung tumors and incorrectly diagnosed. We reported a female patient with primary ACC of the lung with mediastinum deviation at age of 27 years received a right pneumonectomy. She was followed up for 12 months postoperatively and remains well.
