Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Guizhi Decoction plus Yupingfeng Powder for chronic urticaria and its effect on serum total IgE level.Methods One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into treatment group,control group 1 and control group 2,40 cases in each group.The treatment group was treated with Guizhi Decoction,Yupingfeng Powder and Loratadine Tablets orally,the control group 1 was given intramuscular injection of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin polysaccharide nucleic acid and oral use of Loratadine Tablets,and the control group 2 was only given oral use of Loratadine Tablets.The course of treatment covered 5 weeks.The levels of serum total IgE in the three groups were determined before and after treatment,and the therapeutic effect was evaluated after treatment.Results (1) The total effective rate was 85.0％ in the treatment group,80.0％ in the control group 1,and 55.0％ in the control group 2.The effect of control group 1 and the treatment group was superior to that of the control group 2 (P＜ 0.05),but the difference was insignificant between the treatment group and control group 1 (P＞ 0.05).(2)Before treatment,the serum total IgE level of the three groups was higher than that of the normal control group (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the serum total IgE level of the three groups was obviously decreased (P ＜ 0.05 compared with that before treatment);the inter-group comparison results showed that the effect of the treatment group and control group 1 on decreasing the serum total IgE level was superior to that of the control group 2(P ＜ 0.05),while the effect of the treatment group was similar to that of the control group 1 (P ＞0.05).(3) During the treatment,blood routine examination indexes and hepato-renal function of the three groups showed no abnormal changes,neither adverse reaction was shown.Conclusion Guizhi Decoction plus Yupingfeng Powder exerts certain therapeutic effect for the treatment of chronic urticaria,and can decrease the serum total IgE level,thus to stabilize the curative effect and reduce the recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and response time of cardioinhibitory type vasovagal syncope (VVS-CI) in children.Methods:The clinical data of 56 children with syncope or pre-syncope were retrospectively analyzed and they visited specialist clinic for syncope and were diagnosed as VVS-CI in the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from December 2012 to September 2019.Based on height and weight, BMI was calculated, and divided into low BMI group (35 cases) and normal BMI group (21 cases). Between the 2 groups, baseline heart rate, head-up tilt test (HUTT) positive response heart rate, baseline head-up tilt test (BHUT) positive response time, and sublingual nitroglycerin-provocated HUTT (SNHUT) positive response time were compared.The correlation between BMI and positive response time was analyzed.SPSS 22.0 software was applied for statistical analysis.Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex, duration of disease and number of syncope between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). No significant differences were found in baseline heart rate and positive response heart rate between the 2 groups [(78.5±15.3) times/min vs.(72.8±8.7) times/min, t=1.223, P=0.230; (44.0±13.9) times/min vs.(47.0±10.0) times/min, t=-0.664, P=0.511]. Compared with normal BMI group, BHUT positive patients/SNHUT positive patients were higher in low BMI group (27/8 cases vs.9/12 cases, χ2=4.839, P=0.027), and the positive response time of BHUT was shorter [(13.1±4.6) min vs.(23.7±9.5) min, t=-2.691, P=0.023]. There were no significant differences in SNHUT positive response time between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Low BMI was correlated with BHUT positive response time ( r=0.750, P=0.005). Normal BMI was not associated with BHUT positive response time ( r=0.316, P=0.217). There was no correlation between low BMI and normal BMI and SNHUT positive response time ( r=0.177, P=0.431; r=0.021, P=0.940). Conclusions:Low BMI is positively correlated with BHUT positive response time of children with VVS-CI.The time it takes for syncope occurrence was shorter in children with low BMI than that in normal BMI.

Objective:To investigate the difference of heart rate variability in cardioinhibitory type vasovagal syncope(VVS-CI) children with different body mass index(BMI).Methods:Clinical data of thirty-four children with syncope or pre-syncope were retrospectively analyzed, who visited specialist clinic for syncope and diagnosed as VVS-CI at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2012 to December 2019.BMI was calculated based on height and weight, and divided into lean group(BMI≤18.4 kg/m 2, n=19) and normal group(BMI 18.5-23.9 kg/m 2, n=15). Heart rate variability(HRV) of 24 h dynamic electrocardiogram was analyzed using linear analysis method.Time domain index included SDNN, SDANN, rMSSD and pNN50.Frequency domain index included total power(TP), ultra low frequency power(ULF), very low frequency power(VLF), low frequency power(LF), high frequency power(HF) and LF/HF. Results:There was no significant difference in SDNN, SDANN and rMSSD between lean and normal group( P>0.05), but pNN50 increased in lean group( P<0.05). No significant differences were found in TP, ULF, LF, HF and LF/HF between two groups( P>0.05), while VLF was lower in lean group than that in normal group( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in time domain index and frequency domain index between different gender between lean and normal group( P>0.05). SDNN, SDANN and LF were higher in<12 years old than those in≥12 years old in lean group( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in rMSSD, pNN50, TP, ULF, VLF, HF and LF/HF( P>0.05). ULF increased and LF decreased in<12 years old compared to ≥12 years old in normal group( P<0.05). No statistical differences were found in SDNN, SDANN, rMSSD, pNN50, TP, VLF, HF and LF/HF( P>0.05). Conclusion:The autonomic nervous regulation function of VVS-CI children with low BMI and normal BMI is different, resulting in HRV difference.There were also differences in HRV between<12 years old and ≥12 years old with the same BMI.
