Objective To study the therapeutic effect of Danshen injection combined with conventional therapy on children with recurrent asthmatic bronchitis. Methods A prospective study was conducted. Fifty-five children with asthmatic bronchitis admitted in People's Hospital of Henan Province from January 2012 to July 2014 were enrolled and randomly divided into a integrative Chinese and western medicine group(30 cases)and a conventional therapy group(25 cases);in the same period,18 healthy children having passed physical examinations were chosen as the healthy control group. In the conventional therapy group,rest,oxygen inspiration,anti-infection, fluid supplement and aerosol inhalation,etc. were given,while in the integrative Chinese and western medicine group,based on the similar conventional therapies,additionally Danshen injection 0.4 mL · kg-1 · d-1 was given,once per day for a total of 14 days. The wheezing remission time and the pulmonary rale extinction time were observed in the two patient groups,and the fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)content was investigated in the three groups. Results The wheezing remission time and the pulmonary rale extinction time of the integrative Chinese and western medicine group were obviously shortened compared with those in the conventional therapy group〔the wheezing remission time(days):2.3±0.8 vs. 5.2±1.1,the pulmonary rale extinction time(days):6.8±1.5 vs. 8.4±1.1,both P<0.01〕. The contents of FeNO in the integrative Chinese and western medicine group and the conventional therapy group before treatment were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group(×10-9:30.3±9.5,30.4±8.2 vs. 13.6±3.4,both P<0.01),but after treatment the FeNO levels of both patient groups were markedly lowered,and the degree of change in integrative Chinese and western medicine group was more significant(×10-9:18.6±4.7 vs. 24.0±6.8,P<0.01). Conclusion Danshen injection combined with conventional therapy can obviously down-regulate the FeNO content,alleviate the airway inflammation,effectively relieve the children recurrence of asthmatic bronchitis.

Objective:
To investigate the relationship between depressive symptoms and frailty among middle-aged and elderly populations, so as to provide insights into the early identification and prevention of frailty.
Methods:
Based on the 2018 database of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), demographic information, lifestyle and self-rated health status were collected from people aged 50 years and older. Depression symptoms were evaluated using the Short Version of Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scales (CES-D-10), and the frailty status was evaluated using frailty index. The relationship between depressive symptoms and frailty among middle-aged and elderly populations were using a multivariable logistic regression model, and the dose-response relationship was analyzed using a restricted cubic spline model.
Results:
A total of 5 172 individuals were enrolled, including 2 495 males (48.24%) and 2 677 females (51.76%), with a median age of 63.00 (interquartile range, 12.00) years, a median CES-D-10 score of 7.00 (interquartile range, 9.00) scores. There were 1 560 participants (30.16%) detected with mild depressive symptoms, 360 participants (6.96%) detected with moderate to severe depressive symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, age, educational level, marital status, smoking, alcohol consumption and self-rated health status, participants who had mild depressive symptoms (OR=4.226, 95%CI: 3.625-4.928) and moderate to severe depressive symptoms (OR=10.737, 95%CI: 8.259-13.958) had a higher risk of frailty. The restricted cubic spline model showed a nonlinear relationship between depressive symptoms and frailty among middle-aged and elderly populations. When the CES-D-10 scores were greater than 7, the risk of frailty increased with higher CES-D-10 scores.
Conclusion
The degree of depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly people is associated with frailty, and there is a nonlinear relationship between the two.
