Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tanreqing injection to children bronchial pneumonia.Methods PubMed,Ovid,CNKI,and data retrieval system of all places were searched to identify relevant studies from 2003 to November of 2014.The final documents were examined with inclusive and exclusive criteria.Results were pooled with meta-analysis on RevMan software to assess the efficacy of tanreqing injection to children bronchial pneumonia.Results The database was derived from 13 qualified studies that included a total of 1479 patients.Meta analysis showed that,compared to the control group,tanreqing injection treatment group resulted in higher effective rate [OR =2.96,95% CI (2.22,3.96),P <0.01],shorter time of recovering the normal temperature [MD----0.53,95% CI (-0.77,-0.29),P < 0.01],shorter time of disappearance of cough [MD =-1.25,95% CI (-2.14,-0.37),P <0.01],shorter time of lungrale [MD=-1.00,95% CI(-1.4,-0.6),P <0.01],and shorter time of hospitalization time [MD =-1.35,95% CI (-1.83,-0.86),P < 0.01].Significant difference was observed between control and treatment groups.Conclusions This study showed that tanreqing injection appeared to be more effective for children bronchial pneumonia.However,methodology showed low quality.The efficacy needs high-quality clinical trials to verify.

Objective To investigate the effect of transforming growth factorβreceptor typeⅠ(TGFBRⅠ) on adipocyte differentiation by using a small interference RNA (siRNA). Methods The siRNA targeting TGFBRⅠwas synthesized as experimental group, and negative control siRNA was used as control group. The efficiency of TGFBRⅠdepletion and the expression levels of adipocyte-specific transcription factors CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and adipocyte marker gene fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. After treating with adipocyte differentiation agents for 5 days, the cells were stained with oil red O, and the staining of adipocyte was observed and photographed by laser confocal microscope. In addition, with isopropanol extracted oil red O, optical density values of oil red O were measured at a wavelength of 520, and which were compared between groups. Results After transfection of TGFBRⅠ siRNA, gene expression levels of TGFBRⅠwere significantly reduced in ST2 cells, the number of differentiated adipocytes was significantly increased, and the mRNA levels of adipocyte specific transcription factor C/EBPαand PPARγand adipocyte marker gene FABP4 were enhanced compared with those of control group. After treating with adipocyte differentiation agents for 5 days,the number of lipid droplets of cells with transfection of TGFBRⅠsiRNA was increased than that of cells with transfection of control siRNA. The value of optical density was higher in cells with transfection of TGFBRⅠsiRNA than that of control siRNA group. Conclusion TGFBRⅠsiRNA can effectively facilitate adipocyte formation, which suggests that TGFBRⅠis an important regulator of adipogenic differentiation from progenitor cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of left bundle branch area pacing(LBBaP)on new-onset atrial fibrillation(NOAF)and atrial high rate episodes(AHREs)in patients with atrioventricular block(AVB).Methods Eighty-four patients with Ⅲ°AVB for pacemaker implantaion were divided into the LBBaP group(n=42)and the RVSP group(n=42)based on the site of the ventricular leads.The two groupswere compared in terms of the pre-and post-operative QRSd,ventricular pacing parameters,complications,incidence of stroke,NOAF and AHREs.Results(1)The incidence of postoperative NOAF and AHREs in the LBBaP group was significantly lower compared with RVSP group(P<0.05).(2)The p-QRSd in the LBBaP group was significantly shorter compared with RVSP group(P<0.05).(3)The two groups showed no significant differences in ventricular pacing parameters,incidence of complications and stroke events(P>0.05).Conclusion LBBaP is superior to right ventricular pacing in reducing the incidence of postoperative AHREs and NOAF in patients after implantation and improving the prognosis of patients.
