BACKGROUND: Allergic airway inflammation (AAI) is the pathological basis of pathogenesis of asthma. Manghua decoction, from Zhang Zhongjing's "On cold damage", is the basic recipe for treating asthma, its addminus recipe is widely used in clinic now.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of mahuang decoction on allergic airway inflammation in asthmatic mouse.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation SETTING: Staff Room of Internal Medicine, Department of Clinical Medicine, Guangdong University of Pharmacy.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Animal Laboratory of Guangdong College of Pharmacy and Laboratory of Pathology, Guangdong University of Pharmacy from March 2003 to February 2004. Totally 36 mice were recruited.METHODS: Mice were randomly divided into normal control group, asthma group and treatment group, with 12 in each one. The mice in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mL of normal saline on day 1,7,14 and 21 separately. From 28th day, the mice were given intragastric administration of normal saline of 0.5 mL for 60 minutes followed by water spray(only normal saline ) for 30 minutes , for consecutive 7 days.The mice in the asthma group were given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline of 0.2 mL containing egg albumin (10 μg) and aluminium hydroxide (20 mg) on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 separately. From 28th day, the mice were given intragastric administration of normal saline of 0.5 mL for 60 minutes followed by water spray (normal saline containing egg albumin of 50 g/L) for 30 minutes, for consecutive 7 days. Sensitization and stimulati on of the mice in the treatment group were the same as that in the asthma group. Intragastric administration of mahuang decoction of 0.5 mL was performed 60 minutes before spray. The procedure was conducted for consecutive 7 days. The pathologic change and the lung tissues expression of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) of the mice in each group were analyzed with hamatoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of airway infiltration cells and lung tissue IFN-γand IL-4 of the mice in each group RESULTS: Totally 36 mice entered the stage of result analysis with no loss in the midway. ① Inflammation of the mice relieved obviously in the treatment group than in the asthma group, and the number of the inflammatory cells in or around bronchi of the mice was significantly less in the treatment group than in the asthma group . ② The number of IL-4 and IFN-γ was significantly increased in the asthma group than in the normal control group, among which , the number of IL-4 was more significant, and the ratio of IFN-γ / IL-4 was decreased. However, the number of IL-4 on the treatment group was significantly decreased, and that of IFN-γ was remarkably increased , and the ratio of IFN-γ / IL-4 was significantly increased as compared with that in the asthma group.CONCLUSION: Asthmatic mice might exist the disequilibrium of Th1/Th2 subgroup. Mahuang decoction can improve the inflammation of bronchus,regulate the ratio of Th1/Th2, which might be one of the mechanism for treatment of asthma.

Objective To investigate the concentration of 17β-estradiol in bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and different tissues of rats, and study the function of estradiol produced in extragonadal sites prelimi-narily. Methods (1) The concentration of 17β-estradiol in lysate of BMSCs and in supernatant cell culture media were detected by Elisa method after rats BMSCs were serum-free cultured in 0 h , 24 h and 48 h respective ly . (2) The tissues of organs were grinded and broken under ultrasonic wave , then washed and weighed. The con-centration of 17β-estradiol in different tissues was detected by Elisa method. Results Compared with the concen-tration of 17β-estradiol at 24 h, the concentration of 17β-estradiol at 48h significantly increased (P < 0.05). The concentration of 17β-estradiol among different tissues were higher, but the difference is not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions (1) 17β-estradiol can be secreted by BMSCs , and the concentration is proportional to the time to some degree. But whether the extragonadal estrogen can function locally is still unclear. (2) The concentration of 17β-estradiol is non- gonad dependent but whether it is secreted locally remains to be elucidated. The non- gonad estrogen could be the estrogen source of bone metabolism in order to sustain bone health after menopause.

Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of ladder-type decompression in preventing acute encephalocele in the operation of severe craniocerebral trauma.Methods The clinical data of 178 patients after operation of severe craniocerebral trauma were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into routine decompression group (75 cases) and ladder-type decompression group (103 cases).The former was treated by routine decompression,and the latter was treated by ladder-type decompression.The efficacy was compared and analyzed.Results The incidence of acute encephalocele and delayed hematoma in ladder-type decompression group were 27.18% (28/103) and 12.62% (13/103),in routine decompression group were 54.67% (41/75) and 26.67% (20/75),and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.01 or < 0.05).Three months after discharge,21 cases were lost in ladder-type decompression group and 15 cases were lost in routine decompression group.Recovery rate and death rate in ladder-type decompression group were 29.27% (24/82) and 36.59% (30/82),in routine decompression group were 15.00% (9/60) and 55.00% (33/60),and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05).Conclusion Ladder-type decompression can effectively reduce the incidence of acute encephaloceie via the steady release of intracranial pressure,which has positive significance in the improvement of the treatment and prognosis of severe craniocerebral injury.

Objective To conduct a scoping review to systematically review the literature reporting enteral feeding protocol in critical ill children. And extract elements of enteral feeding protocol. Methods The database of BIOSIS Previews, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMbase, China Biology Medicine Disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wan Fang data were searched. Data were extracted on the information of article, elements of enteral feeding, evaluation of feeding etc. Results Three historical controlled studies, three case-control studies, two cohort studies, one narrative review and one qualitative study were included. Totally 16 elements were got, such as nutrition evaluation, estimated energy requirement, contraindication, feeding intolerance etc. And all protocols defined advancement and feeding intolerance. Conclusions Enteral feeding protocol has been used in most PICUs to optimize nutrition. But we observed variability in the composition of protocols and lack of evidence-based recommendations in few elements.
