Objective To explore the relationship between physical growth of infants and family feeding be -havior.Methods Demographic information was collected from 516 objects.Height,weight,head circumference,chest circumference were measured and feeding behavior was evaluated using prospective observational study method . Results (1) Feeding behavior score was positively associated with infant physical development indicators ,the be-tween groups differences of infant age ,body weight,body length were statistically significant (P<0.05).(2)The re-sults of Pearson correlation analysis showed that weight , head circumference of infants at 18 months and length at 24 months were significantly correlated with feeding behavior score (P<0.05).(3)The analysis of feeding behavior factors found that food preparation was associated with weight infants at 18 months(P<0.05);behavior of infants and height,weight,head circumference,chest circumference of children in the 18 months of age were related(P<0.05);infant feeding environment in the 18-month-old was related with their height,weight,head circumference(P<0.05). Conclusion It is suggested that well family feeding pattern might be a certain stimulative role in young children ′s physical growth and development .

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by infection. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway plays a key role in the regulation of inflammatory response, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Some traditional Chinese medicine monomers, such as flavonoids (such as taxifolin), alkaloids (such as sinomenine), and stilbenes (such as piceatannol) can exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, and inhibition of apoptosis by regulating the JAK/ STAT signaling pathway, which is helpful to improve sepsis. Traditional Chinese medicine compounds (such as Zuojinfang) and traditional Chinese medicine injections (such as Astragalus injection, Xuebijing injection) can also inhibit inflammation, protect organ function, and reduce sepsis-related damage by regulating JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Although traditional Chinese medicine has shown great potential in the prevention and treatment of sepsis, the current research mainly focuses on in vitro and animal models, and more relative clinical researches need to be conducted.

Sepsis is one of the common severe diseases caused by the dysregulated host response to infection, which seriously threatens the life and health of human beings all over the world. The incidence and mortality of the disease are extremely high, and it has always been an urgent problem to be solved in the field of acute and critical diseases. At present, anti-infection, fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation and other programs are most used in clinic to treat sepsis, but their poor prognosis and high cost and other issues remain to be resolved. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a new, efficient, safe and inexpensive drug and treatment model at this stage. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on syndrome differentiation and holistic concept. It can effectively regulate the progression of sepsis, maintain the homeostasis of the body, and has fewer adverse reactions. It has achieved good clinical results. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that TCM can reduce the inflammatory response by regulating the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) signaling pathway, thereby reducing the severity and mortality of sepsis patients. However, there is still a lack of systematic exposition of TCM regulating TLR4 signaling pathway in the treatment of sepsis. Therefore, this article summarizes the relationship between TLR4 signaling pathway and sepsis and the mechanism of TCM in the disease by searching and consulting relevant literature in recent years. It is found that some Chinese medicine monomers and active ingredients, Chinese medicine compounds and Chinese medicine preparations can effectively reduce systemic inflammatory response, repair organ damage and improve the prognosis of sepsis by inhibiting the activation of TLR4 signaling pathway. However, due to various limitations, some studies have directly focused on the differential expression and function of TLR4, ignoring the downstream molecular expression and phenotypic effects of TLR4. The alternative mechanism, relationship and specific molecular mechanism of the pathway are still unclear. There are problems such as unclear pharmacokinetics and unclear mechanism in the pro- and anti-inflammatory balance, which need to be further studied and explored in order to provide new ideas for the potential treatment and drug development for sepsis.
