ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome). MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design,confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals,such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days,and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale (CARIFS) and the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment,48 hours after medication,72 hours after medication, and (6+1) d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (90 cases) or the control group (90 cases). All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was (5.29±1.25) d,and that in the control group was (5.40±1.68) d,without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention,52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative,without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention,there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions, including headache,muscle soreness, and the need for extra care (P<0.05). On the (6+1) days after the intervention,the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions, including sore throat,bad sleep,uncomfortable feeling,poor spirit and fatigue,crying more than usual,the need for extra care,symptom,function,influence on parents,and total score (P<0.05). The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom, function, and influence on parents,as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time,scores of both groups decreased significantly,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention,the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up,the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group,with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases, there were no complications,severe cases, and critical cases in the two groups,without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome) are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules, and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome).

OBJECTIVE To optimize the forming process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules, and evaluate the quality of the granules. METHODS Taking forming rate, angle of repose, moisture, moisture absorption rate and dissolution rate as indexes, single factor experiment combined with Plackett-Burman design was adopted to screen key process parameters; analytic hierarchy process combined with entropy weight method and Box-Behnken response surface method were used to optimize the molding process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules, and the forming process was verified. The relative homogeneity index, bulk density, vibration density, Hausner ratio, angle of repose, moisture and hygroscopicity were used as secondary physical indexes to establish the physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules to evaluate particle quality consistency. RESULTS The optimal molding process of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules was as follows: mannitol as the fixed excipient, the drug-assisted ratio was 1∶1(m/m) and the drying time was 1 h; 90% ethanol was used as wetting agent and the amount of it was 32%, the drying temperature was 70 ℃. The results of validation tests showed that the average comprehensive score was 97.45, which was close to the predicted value of 97.18. The similarities between the physical fingerprints of 10 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules prepared by the optimal molding process and the reference physical fingerprint were all higher than 0.99. CONCLUSIONS The molding process is stable and feasible, and the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules produced is stable and controllable.

Objective:To investigate the current use of ulinastatin in the treatment of critically ill children by pediatricians in China.Methods:A anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among 147 pediatric critical care physicians from 36 hospitals across 16 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities in China.The survey content consists of three parts: respondents' basic information, the application status of ulinastatin, and the clinical indicators referenced for evaluating the use of ulinastatin. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the collected data.Results:Among the 147 respondents,99.32%(146/147) were from tertiary hospitals;72.11%(106/147) worked in specialized ICUs,and 4.08%(6/147)in emergency medicine departments.A total of 68.03%(100/147) of the physicians reported using ulinastatin in clinical practice.The main diseases for which ulinastatin was used were pancreatitis(26.40%),sepsis and septic shock(23.76%),capillary leak syndrome(21.78%),acute respiratory distress syndrome(8.91%),and disseminated intravascular coagulation(6.27%).A total of 90.00% of physicians combined ulinastatin with other medications,including glucocorticoids(26.82%),albumin(23.51%),plasma(17.22%),and immunoglobulins(13.58%). Clinical indicators referenced during ulinastatin use included elevated interleukin(IL)-6(76.87%),tumor necrosis factor-α(44.22%),IL-8(31.97%),IL-1(19.73%),IL-18(10.20%),blood lactate(59.18%),decreased serum albumin levels(70.07%),increased pleural or peritoneal effusion(67.35%),skin and mucosal edema(65.31%),and elevated thrombomodulin among the four coagulation parameters(58.50%).Conclusion:Ulinastatin is mainly used for the treatment of critical illnesses such as pancreatitis and sepsis.Most physicians combine ulinastatin with other drugs,such as glucocorticoids and albumin.Clinical indicators commonly referenced when using ulinastatin include elevated IL-6,increased lactate,and increased pleural effusion,which suggest a high inflammatory state and endothelial damage.

Objective To investigate the influence of helical tomographic radiotherapy plans with different combinations of lead gate width,pitch and algorithms on threading effects.Methods A target model was established with a Cheese Phantom used as the simulated human body,then three lead gate widths(1.0,2.5,and 5.0 cm),six screw pitches(0.143,0.172,0.215,0.287,0.430,and 0.500)and two computational grids(Fine algorithm and Normal algorithm)were respectively combined for designing the helical tomography radiotherapy plans.The radiotherapy plans with a pitch of 0.143,0.172,0.215,0.287 or 0.430 were enrolled into an experimental group,and the plans with a pitch of 0.500 were divided into a control group.The dosimetric parameters including maximum dose(Dmax),minimum dose(Dmin)and mean dose(Dmean)of the target area PTV1 and PTV2 were evaluated by the dose volume histogram(DVH).The dose homogeneity index(HI)of the target area was calculated,and the single rotation time and total treatment time of each plan were recorded and counted.SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results No significant threading effect appeared regardless of the pitch value when the lead gate width was 1.0 cm.The threading effects in the experimental group were weaker than those in the control group when the lead gate width was 2.5 or 5.0 cm.The threading effect gradually rose with the pitch increased when the lead gate width was 5.0 cm.The most significant difference was found between the threading effect in case of the screw pitch being 0.500 and that with the screw pitch being 0.143,with the differenes being statistically obvious(P<0.05).The lead gate width had significant effects on the Dmax,Dmin,Dmean and HI of PTV1 and PTV2.When the lead gate width was 5.0 cm,high HI value and uneven dose distribution were detected and lowered screw pitch weakened the threading effect.The single rotation time first remained constant and then increased with the screw pitch was enlarged,with the changing points occurring in case of the screw pitches of 0.287 and 0.430.With a certain lead gate width,the treatment time for plans was shortened with the decrease of the pitches in case of the pritches lower than 0.287,and tended to be constant after the screw pitches reached 0.287.The changes of the computational grid had no significant effects on the results of radiotherapy plans when the lead gate width and screw pitch were kept constant.Conclusion When designing a spiral tomotherapy plan with conventional doses,a lead gate width of 1.0 or 2.5 cm and a screw pitch of 0.287 or 0.430 should be selected in order to minimize the threading effect while ensuring the efficiency of plan implementation.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(8):58-66]

This study assessed the role and mechanism of the recombinant Bacillus Calmette-Gue?rin vaccine(rBCG)with c-di-AMP adjuvant in regulating metabolism and immunity in epididymal white adipose(eWAT)in mice.Male C57BL/6 mice were intravenously immunized with BCG and rBCG,and their body weights were monitored.eWAT was isolated from the mice,and the stromal vascular fractions(SVFs)cell number was counted with a hemocytometer.Sections of mouse adipose tissue were prepared,and the size,number,and morphology of eWAT adipocytes and crown-like structure(CLS)formation were compared under a microscope after HE staining.The transcription levels of lipid metabolism-associated factors,cytokines and aging-associated genes in each group were determined with qRT-PCR.The body weights of mice gradually increased after immunization with BCG and rBCG.The proportions of eWAT increased,and the SVFs cell number decreased,in rBCG immunized mice.HE staining indicated that BCG immunization promoted hyperplasia,whereas rBCG immunization promoted hypertrophy of eWAT adipocytes;moreover,both BCG and rBCG immunization induced CLS formation in eWAT.The qRT-PCR results indicated that rBCG immunization inhibited the expression of genes associated with lipolysis and energy expenditure in eWAT.BCG immunization had little effect on cytokine transcription,whereas rBCG significantly induced the transcription of IFN-γ and IL-1Ra,and inhibited that of IL-15 and IL-2,but did not induce the expression of aging-associated genes.Thus,rBCG immunization induced eWAT adipocyte hypertrophy,which was associated with the inhibition of eWAT lipolysis and the regulation of cytokine expression.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules. METHODS Taking high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet and evaporative light scattering detection as method, the fingerprint of 15 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules was established, and similarity evaluation was performed by Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (2012 edition) to determine common peaks. The common peaks were identified by comparing with reference substance chromatograms and single decoction piece chromatograms. Network pharmacology was used to screen out core targets and pathways of identified components, construct a “component-target-pathway” network diagram, and predict the pharmacodynamic components of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules, and the content determination of these components was carried out by the same method. RESULTS HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules were characterized with 40 common peaks, and 17 components including salvianolic acid B, astragaloside Ⅳ, notoginsenoside R1, and ginkgolide A were identified. Network pharmacology predicted that 17 components mainly acted on 97 core targets and 137 pathways to exert their pharmacological effect. Average contents of 13 bioactive components in 15 batches of samples were 0.126 8, 0.232 0, 0.073 8, 0.353 2, 3.620 2, 0.191 0, 0.333 3, 0.317 4, 0.785 0, 0.538 2, 0.460 0, 2.475 1 and 0.347 7 mg/g, including calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, rosmarinic acid, formononetin, lithospermic acid, salvianolic acid B, ononin, ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rd, ginkgolide C, ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, notoginsenoside R1, and astragaloside Ⅳ. CONCLUSIONS The established fingerprint of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules can reflect the overall characteristics of the preparation. The content determination method for its pharmacodynamic components, developed in combination with network pharmacology, is accurate, reliable, and exhibits good repeatability, making it suitable for evaluating the quality of Yindan huoxue tongyu granules.
