Objective:To explore the clinical effect of Pingchuan Decoction combined with routine western medicine therapy in the treatment of acute attack of bronchial asthma in children. Methods:From January 2017 to June 2019, 118 children with acute attack of bronchial asthma were selected from the Seventh People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they were randomly divided into control group (59 cases) and observation group (59 cases) according to the random number table. The control group was treated with routine western medicine therapy, and the observation group was treated with Pingchuan Decoction on the base of control group, and both groups were treated for 14 days. The main symptom scores before and after treatment were evaluated. The percentage of forced vital capacity expressed as percent predicted (FVC% pred) and the forced expiratory volume in 1 second expressed as percent predicted (FEV1% pred) were measured by pulmonary function meter. The levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and CD4 +/CD8 + in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry. The adverse reactions during the treatment were recorded and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total clinical effective rate was 93.2% (55/59) in the observation group and 71.2% (42/59) in the control group, where the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=9.790, P=0.002). After treatment, the scores of cough, wheezing and wheezing rale in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=27.695, 17.573, 32.827, P<0.001). After treatment, FVC% pred [(80.21 ± 4.06)% vs. (71.71 ± 3.95)%, t=11.526], FEV1% pred [(78.84±3.92)% vs. (72.26 ± 3.59)%, t=9.508] in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The levels of CD3 + [(74.05 ± 5.13)% vs. (67.44 ± 4.98)%, t=7.101], CD4 + [(48.43 ± 4.31)% vs. (42.20 ± 4.06)%, t=8.082] and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + (1.67 ± 0.29 vs. 1.34 ± 0.25, t=6.620) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 10.2% (6/59) in the observation group and 6.8% (4/59) in the control group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.437, P=0.509). Conclusion:The Pingchuan Decoction combined with routine western medicine therapy can reduce the clinical symptoms of children with acute attack of bronchial asthma, improve lung function, improve organism immunity and clinical effect with safety.

This research was to investigate the relationship between functional independence and adap-tive behavior in children with cerebral palsy using FunctionaI Independence Measure for Children(WeeFIM)and the Chinese version of Children’s Adaptive Behavior Scale(CABS).18 children with cere-bral palsy were measured.12 were males and 6 were females.Age ranged from 3 to 12,and average agewas 5.9444(SD= 1.9242).Results showed that the dimensions of the motor subscale of WeeFLM werepositively correlated to the independence of CAI3s(r=0.5725~0.7146);the dimensions of cognitive sub-scale of WeeFIM were also positively correlated to three elements of CABS(r=0.531 0~0.7873).WeeFIM total scores were positively correlated to the developmental quotierit of CABS(r=0.7053).Thisresearch showed that functional independence and adaptive behavior in cerebral palsy children were related,because the ditnensions of WeeFIM were correlated to the elements of CABS.WeeFIM can,therefore,re-flect the functions of cerebral palsy children in quantitative scales.This research can provide a new measure-ment which can be applied to the functional evaluation in medical rehabilitation of cerebral palsy.

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of leptin on dendritic cells by NLRP3 inflammasome.Methods: BMDCs were induced in vitro,leptin with scalar doses was cocultured with BMDCs,IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA expression and protein secretion level were measured by q-RT-PCR and ELISA respectively.Caspase-1 activity or ROS synthesis were tested with FLICA kit or ROS detection assay kit on flow cytometry.IL-1β or IL-18 were detected after caspase-1 was inhibited by Ac-YVAD-cmk or NLRP3 was interfered by siRNA or ROS inhibitor DPI or KCL were added.Results: Leptin promoted secretion of IL-1β and IL-18.Leptin up-regulated NLRP3 and activted caspase-1 to secret proinflammtory cytokine,which K+ efflux took part in.Conclusion: Leptin promotes secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 by activating NLRP3 inflammasome,and K+ efflux takes part in this,which hints us that leptin may be an activator of NLRP3 inflammasome.

Objective To evaluate the influence of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on sunburn cell formation and p53 protein expression induced by acute ultraviolet injury. Methods Ten volunteers were enrolled in this study. The buttock region served as the exposed region. Four areas were randomized and delineated on the buttock: one area (control area) received no exposure or product, the other 3 areas were exposed to two minimal erythema doses (MED) of simulated solar radiation (SSR) for 3 days. Of the 3 exposed areas, one area (SSR) received no product before exposure, one area (SSR + Veh) was pretreated with vehicle, the third area (SSR + GSPE) with the samples of GSPE. GSPE or vehicle was applied 30 minutes before each exposure at 2 μL/cm2. Skin biopsy was performed 24 hours after the last exposure, and skin specimens were subjected to hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining and histochemical analysis for p53 protein. Results There was a statistical difference in the number of sunburn cells per high power field (×200) between SSR sites and SSR + GSPE sites (29.8±11.1 cells vs 2.2±0.2 cells, P<0.01). A significant decrease was noticed in the account of p53 protein-positive cells per high power field (×200) in SSR + GSPE sites com-pared with the SSR sites (4.6±0.7 cells vs 19.3±3.4 cells, P<0.05). Conclusion GSPE exerts a poten-tial protective effect against acute ultraviolet injury and can serve as a natural sunscreen.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational application of Levofloxacin hydrochloride injection in the clinic. METHODS:With reference to the package insert of Levofloxacin hydrochloride injection,the guiding principles of clinical use of antibiotics,by reviewing related literatures,based on the weighted TOPSIS methods,detailed rules for drug utilization review (DUR) of Levofloxacin hydrochloride injection were made. And then 100 archived medical records of Levofloxacin hydrochloride injection in the first half of 2014 were evaluated in respect of medication rationality based on these rules. RESULTS:Among 100 cases,relative proximity of 51 cases was more than 70%(51.0%);that of 37 was between 50%-70%(37.0%);that of 12 cases was between 30%-50%(12.0%). CONCLUSIONS:Established DUR method of Levofloxacin hydrochloride injection on the basis of weighted TOPSIS methods can be used to evaluate the rationality of drug use and promote more rational evaluation behavior. And the results indicate that unreasonable use of Levofloxacin hydrochloride injection is still common in the hospital.
