Objective To study the relieving cough and reducing phlegm effects and acute toxicity of the Kujyukekuan mixtures. Methods The method used in our study is a cough model induced by the ammonia water , the phenol red test in mice, the mouse pinna swelling model induced by xylene and the maximum tolerant dose experiment. Results In antitussive experiments, R value of Kujyukekuan mixtures at low, medium and high dose of was 112. 26%, 143. 29%, 162. 07%, respectively regarding as ineffective, effective and marked effective;Kujyukekuan mixtures at medium and high doses increased the excretion of phenolsulfonphthalein in the trachea of mice (compared with the normal control group, P<0. 05 or P<0. 01),the results showed good concentration-response relationship;Kujyukekuan mixtures at low, medium and high dose significantly reduced mouse auricle swelling caused by xylene (compared with normal control group, P<0. 01), the results presented a good concentration-response relationship;the MTD of Kujyukekuan mixture was 326. 76 g·kg-1. Conclusion Kujyukekuan mixtures at medium and high doses exert significant eliminating cough and phlegm effects and strong anti-inflammatory property, and has a good security.

Objective:To understand the characters of norovirus infection in children with acute diarrhea in Beijing from 2014 to 2019.Methods:Fecal specimens were collected from children with acute diarrhea visiting the hospital affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from April 2014 to December 2019 for norovirus screening by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Then RdRp gene and VP1 gene of norovirus (NoV) were amplified and sequenced from positive specimens and then genotyped by Norovirus Genotyping Tool 2.0.Results:Fecal specimens were collected from 2 577 cases with acute diarrhea and tested for NoV RNA in this study, of which 484 cases (18.78%, 484/2 577) were positive for NoV. NoV infection can occur all year round, with obvious seasonal distribution, the epidemic peak is in autumn and winter. There was no gender difference in the detection of NoV ( χ2=1.77, P=0.183). 399 specimens genotyped by VP1 gene with 98.25% (392/399) being GII and GII.4 Sydney as the mainly genotype (52.13%, 208/399), followed by GII.3 (19.8%, 79/399) and GII.2 (18.5%, 74/399). Then 267 specimens also were genotyped by RdRp region, which revealed that the main genotype was GII.P31 (57.3 %, 153/267), followed by GII.P12 (15.36%, 41/267) and GII.P16 (14.98 %, 40/267). Dual-typing revealed that various combination strains, GII.4 Sydney[P31] (53.18%, 142/267) as the major combination, followed by GII.3[P12] and GII.2[P16] (15.36%, 41/267 and 10.49%, 28/267). While GII.3[P12] showed a downward trend, GII.4 Sydney[P16] increased gradually. Conclusions:Norovirus is an important pathogen of acute diarrhea in children in Beijing, from 2014 to 2019, with various prevalent genotypes.
