ObjectiveTo analyze the lipid characteristics and related risk factors of children with Wilson disease (WD). MethodsThe clinical data of 315 children with WD and 248 healthy children who underwent physical examination were retrospectively collected. The differences in lipid levels between the two groups were compared. The WD group was divided into the normal lipid group (85 cases) and the dyslipidemia group (230 cases) according to lipid levels. General data and biochemical indicators were compared between the two groups, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors for dyslipidemia in children with WD. ResultsThe incidence of dyslipidemia in children with WD was 73.0% (230/315), comprising 77 cases (33.5%) of hypertriglyceridemia, 11 cases (4.8%) of hypercholesterolemia, 104 cases (45.2%) of combined hyperlipidemia, 9 cases (3.9%) of hyperlipoprotein(a)emia, and 29 cases (12.6%) of hypoalphalipoproteinemia. There were statistically significant differences in age distribution among different types of dyslipidemia (P<0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed in gender distribution (P>0.05). Compared with the normal lipid group, the dyslipidemia group showed significantly higher levels of homocysteine, superoxide dismutase (SOD), platelet count (PLT), fibrinogen, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, uric acid, cystatin C (Cys-C), type IV collagen (C-IV), and laminin (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that C-IV (OR=5.037, 95% CI: 2.562-9.900), PLT (OR=2.297, 95% CI: 1.580-3.339), Cys-C (OR=2.008, 95% CI: 1.395-2.890), and SOD (OR=1.996, 95% CI: 1.342-2.970) were all independent risk factors for dyslipidemia in children with WD. ConclusionChildren with WD have a high incidence of dyslipidemia, which is dominated by combined hyperlipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia. C-IV, PLT, Cys-C, and SOD are independent risk factors for dyslipidemia in children with WD.

ObjectiveTo characterize the evidence distribution and methodological quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on oral Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for atopic dermatitis (AD) based on evidence mapping. MethodsSeven databases (CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase) and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were searched for the RCTs in Chinese and English. Evidence distribution was presented graphically and textually, and methodological quality was assessed via the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB 1.0). ResultsA total of 168 RCTs were included. The number of annual publications showing an increasing trend, and 72.6% RCTs had sample sizes of 51-100 participants. The studies evaluated 108 distinct CHM interventions categorized as decoctions, granules, Chinese patent medicines, and extracts. Compound Glycyrrhizin was the most frequently used, followed by Xiaofengsan and Chushi Weiling decoction. Among the RCTs, 57.1% had the treatment courses of 4-8 weeks. Outcome measures predominantly focused on clinical response rate, skin lesion severity scores, and adverse events, with less attention to TCM symptom scores, skin barrier function, and relapse rates. The overall risk of bias was generally high. ConclusionWhile CHM for AD is a research hotspot and demonstrates clinical advantages, the related studies have problems such as unclear clinical positioning, poor research standardization and methodological quality, and insufficient prominence of TCM clinical advantages. Large-sample, methodologically rigorous, and high-quality studies are needed to enhance the evidence base for CHM in treating AD.
