ObjectiveTo observe the regulatory effects of Yiqi Wenyang Huwei decoction (YWHD) on autophagy and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in asthmatic rats and bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) and further reveal the mechanism of YWHD in treating bronchial asthma (BA). MethodForty-eight rats were randomly assigned into normal group, model group, dexamethasone group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose YWHD groups, with 8 rats in each group. The rat model of BA was established by intraperitoneal injection with ovalbumin (OVA) + aluminum hydroxide suspension and atomizing inhalation with OVA for 2 weeks. The normal group was administrated with an equal dose of normal saline. The bronchial maximum airway resistance (Max Rrs) induced by methacholine chloride (Mch) was determined by an animal lung function evaluation system. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, IL-6, IL-33, IL-25, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining were used for observation of the pathological changes of bronchi in the lung tissue. The immunofluorescence assay was employed to measure the levels of the autophagy-associated proteins LC3B and Beclin1. The IL-13-induced autophagy of 16HBE cells exposed to the YWHD-containing serum was observed, and the autophagy level was traced by mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenovirus infection. The protein levels of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, p-PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR were determined by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed increased Max Rrs (P<0.01) and elevated levels of IL-4, IL-13, IL-6, IL-33, IL-25, TNF-α, and IgE in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (P<0.05,P<0.01). The modeling caused focal infiltration of inflammatory cells and lymphocytes around bronchus and blood vessels, epithelial goblet cell metaplasia, and increased subepithelial collagen deposition. Furthermore, it up-regulated the protein levels of LC3B and Beclin1 (P<0.01), promoted the autophagy flux of GFP to mRFP in 16HBE cells induced by IL-13, down-regulated the protein levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR, and increased the LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, medium- and high-dose YWHD decreased Max Rrs (P<0.01), lowered the levels of IL-4, IL-13, IL-6, IL-33, IL-25, TNF-α, and IgE in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (P<0.05, P<0.01), and reduced lymphocyte and granulocyte infiltration in bronchi of the lung tissue, epithelial goblet cell metaplasia, and subepithelial collagen deposition. Moreover, they down-regulated the protein levels of LC3B and Beclin1 (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased the autophagy flux of GFP to mRFP, up-regulated the protein levels of p-PI3K, p-Ak, and p-mTOR, and decreased the LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionYWHD ameliorates airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation and inhibits the autophagy of airway epithelial cells in the lung tissue of BA rats by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Good sleep is essential for children′s physical and mental health, growth, and development.Adequate and high-quality sleep positively impacts children′s quality of life, memory, learning, attention, mood, and behavior.Children of different ages have different sleep needs.Children have various sleep problems in different cultures.Therefore, it is significant to guide children to get healthy sleep by popularizing the sleep problems of Chinese children of all ages and in all dimensions.Based on China′s social and cultural background, this paper summarizes the contents related to children′s sleep physiology, good sleep habits, common sleep problems, sleep apnea disorders, hypnagogic sleep, narcolepsy, insomnia, and other issues that interfere with children′s sleep.Chinese sleep experts summarize and interpret the 100 sleep health problems of children that medical workers and parents are most concerned about.To promote children′s sleep health and popularize solutions to sleep problems.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of incision subcutaneous porous catheter combined with ropivacaine analgesia in enhanced recovery after laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 140 patients underwent gastrointestinal surgery from August 2021 to April 2022 in Shanghai Fourth People′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 70 patients were given routine postoperative analgesia (control group), and 70 patients were given incision subcutaneous porous catheter combined with ropivacaine analgesia on the basis of routine postoperative analgesia (observation group). The visual analogue score (VAS) 4, 24, 32, 48, 56 and 72 h after operation was evaluated; and the complications of subcutaneous catheterization, incision infection, postoperative nausea vomiting, neurological symptoms, time to extubation, patient satisfaction degree, recovery time of intestinal function and hospital stay were recorded.Results:The VAS 4, 24, 32, 48, 56 and 72 h after operation in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 1.000 (- 0.250, 2.250) scores vs. 1.000 (- 1.000, 3.000) scores, 2.000 (1.000, 3.000) scores vs. 4.000 (2.000, 6.000) scores, 1.000 (0.000, 2.000) scores vs. 3.000 (1.000, 5.000) scores, 2.000 (1.000, 3.000) scores vs. 3.000 (1.750, 4.250) scores, (1.100 ± 0.934) scores vs. (2.085 ± 0.943) scores and (0.985 ± 0.842) scores vs. (1.814 ± 0.921) scores, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05 or <0.01). The recovery time of intestinal function and hospital stay in observation group were significantly shorter than that that in control group: (1.743 ± 0.557) d vs. (2.200 ± 0.714) d and (8.043 ± 1.160) d vs. (8.757 ± 1.221) d, and there were statistical difference ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in the rate of incision infection, incidence of postoperative nausea vomiting, time to extubation and patient dissatisfaction rate between two groups ( P>0.05); there were no the complications of subcutaneous catheterization and neurological symptoms in two groups. Conclusions:The incision subcutaneous porous catheter combined with ropivacaine analgesia after laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery is a safe, effective and feasible method. Multimodal analgesia under enhanced recovery after surgery can increase the postoperative recovery after gastrointestinal operations and shorten the postoperative hospital stay.
