This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical effect and safety of Qing-Fei Tong-Luo (QFTL) ointment for treating children with pneumonia.Randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted among 460 cases of children with pneumonia.The observation group was given QFTL ointment combined with basic treatment.And the control group was only treated by basic treatment.Evaluation was given on the total clinical efficacy,disappeared time of fever,cough,expectoration,shortness of breath,and medication safety.The incidence of respiratory diseases was followed up on the 30th days after drug withdrawal.The results showed that in the aspect of clinical efficacy between two groups,the cure rate of the observation group was 98.26%,and that of the control group was 93.89%,with statistic significance (P < 0.05).The cure rate of the observation group was better than that of the control group.There was statistical difference on expectoration disappeared time (P < 0.05).There was no statistical difference on disappeared time of fever,cough and shortness of breath (P > 0.05).There was statistical difference on the incidence of respiratory diseases on the 30th days followed-up after drug withdrawal (P < 0.05).There was no statistical difference on the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection,pneumonia and asthma (P > 0.05).No adverse reactions occurred in the observation group.It was concluded that QFTL ointment combined with basic therapy on the treatment of pneumonia in children was significantly better than the control group in the aspect of clinical efficacy,expectoration disappeared time and the incidence of bronchitis.It is safe and effective.The prognosis is good and worthy of promotion in the clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the effects of Hual qi huang granules on children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.Methods A randomized,multicenter parallel controlled clinical trial was carried out.A total of 3 000 cases of hospitalized children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia were selected.All of them were given treatment for mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia with macrolide antibiotics and symptomatic treatment.They were randomly divided into 2 groups:research group and control group.The children of research group were give oral Huai qi huang granules for three months.According to the classification of pneumonia,these two groups were divided into:lobar pneumonia research group,lobar pneumonia control group,lobular pneumonia research group,lobular pneumonia control group.The hospitalization duration of fever,length of hospital stay,the absorption area of lung inflammation and pneumonia severity sores were observed.The frequency of upper respiratory infections,bronchitis,pneumonia were observed in 3 months after discharge.Results 2 378 cases were investigated.The hospitalization duration of fever,length of hospital stay of research group were significantly shorter than that of in control group (P < 0.001).The children with lobar pneumonia,2 weeks after treatment,the absorption of consolidation of the lobar pneumonia research group is significantly better than lobar pneumonia control group (P <0.001).After two weeks treatment,the pneumonia scores of lobar pneumonia research group is lower than lobar pneumonia control group (P < 0.05).Followup of 3 months after hospital discharge,frequency of upper respiratory infection and bronchitis of research group,were significantly lower than that of control.In addition,appetite increased significantly in research group than control (P < 0.001).There are 21 cases with drug associated adverse reactions (mild diarrhea),including 12 cases of research group,9 cases of control group,and there was no statistical significance (P >0.05).Conclusion Standard treatment combined with oral Huai qi huang granules in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia,can significantly shorten hospitalization duration of fever,length of hospital stay and reduce the severity score of pneumonia.Three months oral Huai qi huang granules can significant reduce the frequency of respiratory infections and bronchitis,also can increase patients appetite,and be safe.

Objective :
To investigate the effect and signaling mechanism of terpinen-4-ol (T4O) on vascular oxida- tive stress injury in mice with chronic kidney disease ( CKD) .
Methods :
A CKD mice model was prepared using high phosphorus diet combined with adenine,and the normal group was given an equal volume of saline gavage.The CKD model with low expression of SIRT1 in vivo was established by tail vein injection of lentiviral SIRT1 RNAi for the study of signaling mechanism.The administration groups were given T4O at low and high doses ( 10 mg / kg and 20 mg / kg) for 6 weeks by continuous gavage.Serum was collected to detect urea nitrogen ( BUN) and creatinine ( CRE) levels,and HE staining was used to observe the morphology of blood vessels in the thoracic aorta of mice expression.
Results :
T4O reduced serum BUN and CRE levels in CKD mice to improve renal function,improved kidney and thoracic aortic vascular morphology,reduced vascular tissue MDA content,increased SOD content,and reduced ROS levels ; T4O intervention promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation and upregulated HO-1,NQO-1 and SIRT1 protein expression ; LV-SIRT1 RNAi + T4O group was able to inhibit the effect of T4O on CKD-induced MDA and SOD levels,partially counteracting the effect of T4O in upregulating Nrf2 nuclear translocation and the protein expression levels of SIRT1,HO-1 and NQO-1.
Conclusion
T4O has a protective effect against oxidative stress in- jury in the thoracic aorta of CKD mice,and its molecular signaling mechanism may be related to the level of drug- regulated SIRT1 / Nrf2 cascade signaling.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of dihydroquercetin (DHQ) on hemorheology and other relevant related indexes in local cerebral ischemic injury model rats. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, nimodipine group (positive control, 20 mg/kg) and DHQ low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (15, 30, 60 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically, sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of 0.4% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution, once a day, for consecutive 14 d. After last administration, local cerebral ischemic injury model was induced by bilateral common carotid artery ligation in other groups except for sham operation group. After 24 h of cerebral ischemia, histopathological changes of brain tissue in rats of each group were observed; the levels of hemorheology indexes [whole blood viscosity (low, medium and high shear), whole blood reduced viscosity (low, medium and high shear), plasma viscosity], erythrocyte parameters (hematocrit, EAI, DI, IR), coagulation function indexes (APTT, PT, TT, FIB) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, the cells in the brain tissue of model group were loose, the gap was obvious, and the neurons around the ischemic area were damaged obviously; the levels of whole blood viscosity, whole blood reduced viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, EAI, IR and FIB were increased significantly, while the levels of DI, APTT, PT and TT were decreased or shortened significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, above symptoms of administration groups were improved to different extents, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, EAI and IR of nimodipine group, whole blood viscosity and hematocrit of DHQ high-dose group, plasma viscosity and EAI of DHQ groups, and IR of DHQ medium-dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly; DI, APTT, PT and TT of nimodipine group, DI, APTT and TT of DHQ groups and PT of DHQ high-dose group were increased or prolonged significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in other indexes among those groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: DHQ can protect against local cerebral ischemic injury model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with improving hemorheology indexes and coagulation function disorder.
