ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of modified Wuhutang in the treatment of children with acute asthma. MethodA total of 130 children with acute asthma were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 65 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with modified Wuhutang and the control group was treated with procaterol hydrochloride for one week. The scores of primary symptoms (wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, and chest tightness) and secondary symptoms (mental status, runny nose, dry mouth, tongue texture, tongue coating, stool, etc.), lung functions, immunoglobulin E (IgE) expression, eosinophil (EOS) count, and serum inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-5, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β in two groups before and after treatment were compared. ResultThe data of 126 children were statistically analyzed. As revealed by the results, compared with the conditions before treatment, the scores of primary symptoms and secondary symptoms, serum levels of IL, IgE expression, and EOS count were both reduced in two groups (P<0.05), lung functions were increased in the two groups(P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the observation group showed decreased scores of cough and secondary symptoms (P<0.05), and insignificant decrease in IL-1β (P<0.05). The improvement in lung functions, IgE expression, and EOS count in observation group was equivalent to that in control group. ConclusionModified Wuhutang for treatment of acute asthma in children (phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome) can significantly relieve the clinical symptoms, improve lung functions, and reduce IgE, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β expression levels and EOS count, and its overall clinical efficacy is superior or equivalent to that of tprocaterol hydrochloride.

9. Progress of gut microbiota in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus
International Journal of Pediatrics 2020;47(1):34-36
The incidence of type 1 diabetes(T1DM)has increased significantly worldwide and has become a major public health problem.At present, it is believed that the occurrence of T1DM is related to various factors such as genetic susceptibility, immunity and environment, but the specific cause and exact mechanism are still not fully explained.In recent years, with the understanding and research of gut micro-ecology, abnormalities in the composition or functionality of gut microbiota lead to a variety of diseases, for instance, gastrointestinal diseases, obesity, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, type 2 diabetes and so on.Yet there are evidences indicating that an imbalance of gut microbiota is associated with the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus, and in the T1DM children, the ecology of gut microbiota is different from healthy children.However, there are few studies on the gut microbiota in children with diabetes.This article will review the progress of gut microbiota of children with type 1 diabetes.

IntroductionThe p53 gene is frequently mutated in various forms of human cancers. The p53 signaling pathway isactivated by endogenous and exogenous stress signals and induces growth arrest, cellular senescenceand apoptosis. A common polymorphism occurs at codon 72 of the p53 has been demonstrated that itmight be associated with bladder cancer risk. However, results of researches related to this topic werecontroversial and more investigations and samples size needed.GoalTo evaluate TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism in Mongolian patients with bladder cancer.Materials and MethodWe evaluated TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism in DNA samples from 82 patients with bladder cancerand 82 age and gender matched healthy subjects using polymerase chain reaction-based restrictionfragment length polymorphism. All enrolments of this study were Mongolians. The association betweeneach genotype of TP53 Arg72Pro and bladder cancer risk was examined by the odds ratio and 95%confi dence interval, using logistic regression analysis. The early age onset of bladder cancer patientswas also evaluated among different genotypes of TP53 Arg72Pro.ResultsThe proportion of the polymorphism of TP53 Arg72Pro were RR 53.7% (n=44); PR 34.1% (n=28); andPP 12.2% (n=10) in the bladder cancer patients, whereas RR 52.4% (n=43); PR 28% (n=23); and PP19.6% (n=16) in healthy controls. The PR genotype increased the risk of bladder cancer (OR1.189;95% CI 0.42-0.75; p=0.997) in Mongolian people, whereas PP genotype protected from the cancer(OR=0.610; 95% CI 0.22-0.44, p=0.998) compared to the RR, respectively, however signifi cance isweak. Moreover, there was no association between each genotype of TP53 Arg72Pro (RR=52; PR=54;PP=58) and early onset of bladder cancer in the Mongolian population.Conclusion: Our result indicates that the PR genotype tends to increase the risk of bladder canceramong Mongolians. RR genotype of TP53 Arg72Pro is more prevalent among Mongolians.
