Objective:Pediatric chronic sinusitis (CRS) is a common disease within the field of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Due to the immaturity of sinus development and immune competence in children, its etiology and pathophysiology are complex, and its clinical features and outcomes differ significantly from those in adult patients. Currently, there are issues in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric CRS, particularly in areas such as antibiotic use and surgical interventions, owing to a lack of sufficient attention. In recognition of this, the Chinese Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group developed this expert consensus based on a systematic review of the latest literatures from both domestic and international sources, with reference to the latest evidence-based medical evidence worldwide, and in combination with their own clinical experience. The consensus covers various aspects including epidemiology, predisposing factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, as well as treatment strategies such as medical therapy and surgical intervention. It aims to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric CRS, improve clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction, reduce clinical expenditures, and decrease the occurrence of adverse reactions.

ObjectiveTo determine the mechanism of Yitangkang in correcting excessive apoptosis of skeletal muscle cells to improve insulin resistance (IR) by inhibiting the advanced glycation end product (AGE)/receptor for the advanced glycation end product (RAGE) signaling pathway. Method① In vitro experiments. Yitangkang-medicated serum was prepared. C2C12 cells were divided into a blank group, a model group, high-, medium-, and low-dose Yitangkang-medicated serum groups (40, 20, and 10 g·kg-1), and a RAGE inhibitor group. The IR model was induced by palmitic acid in C2C12 cells except for those in the blank group. After the corresponding intervention methods were conducted,the cell viability and glucose consumption level of each group were determined. In addition,the apoptosis rate was determined using flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of the important apoptotic proteins [B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), p53, cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-3 (Caspase-3), and cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-9 (Caspase-9)] were determined using Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. ② In vivo experiments. Ninety-six eligible Wistar rats were divided into a blank group, a model group, high-,medium-,and low-dose Yitangkang groups (40, 20, and 10 g·kg-1), and a western medicine group (pioglitazone hydrochloride,1.35 mg·kg-1). The IR model was induced using high-glucose and high-fat feed for diabetes combined with intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) in animals and verified by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (HEC) test. After the model was determined successfully, the rats in each group were given intragastric administration of drugs as required. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was performed to determine the number of positive apoptotic cells in the skeletal muscle tissues of rats in each group,while Real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) and Western blot were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of the important apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9. Result① In vitro experiments. compared with the blank group, the model groups showed increased apoptosis rate of C2C12 cells and decreased cell viability and glucose consumption (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yitangkang-medicated serum groups and the RAGE inhibitor group showed decreased apoptosis rate of C2C12 cells and increased cell viability and glucose consumption (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the model group showed decreased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in C2C12 cells and increased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yitangkang-medicated serum groups and the RAGE inhibitor group showed increased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in C2C12 cells (P<0.01) and decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ② In vivo experiments. The number of positive apoptotic cells in the skeletal muscle tissues of rats in the model group significantly increased as compared with that in the blank group (P<0.01). The number of positive apoptotic cells in the skeletal muscle tissues of rats in the Yitangkang groups and the western medicine group decreased as compared with that in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the model group showed decreased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in skeletal muscle tissues of rats and increased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yitangkang groups and the western medicine group showed increased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in skeletal muscle tissues of rats (P<0.01) and decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.05, P<0.01). The medium-dose Yitangkang showed a similar effect as RAGE inhibitor, and the effect was equivalent to that of pioglitazone hydrochloride. ConclusionYitangkang can inhibit skeletal muscle cell apoptosis by inhibiting the AGE/RAGE signaling pathway.

Ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent mode of programmed cell death characterized by iron deposition and accumulation of lipid peroxidation. More and more studies have found that ferroptosis is closely related to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The yin-fire theory is an important part of LI Gao's spleen-stomach theory, and it is believed that qi-fire imblance and yin-fire internal generation is the main pathogenesis of T2DM. Abnormal iron metabolism may be an important prerequisite for T2DM yin-fire internal generation, while oxidative stress is the specific manifestation of T2DM qi-fire imbalance. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the end product of qi-fire imbalance, and lipid peroxide is the pathological products of T2DM yin-fire internal generation. This study intends to explore the pathological mechanism of qi-fire imbalance and yin-fire internal generation from the perspectives of iron metabolism, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, enriching the modern connotation of yin-fire theory, and benefiting traditional Chinese medicine to target against ferroptosis, and prevent and treat T2DM precisely.
