Objective:To explore the effect of bismuth containing triple therapy on serum gastrin (Gas), transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in children with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) positive peptic ulcers.Methods:A total of 96 children with Hp positive peptic ulcers admitted to the Second Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into two groups using the remainder of a random number table. The control group (48 cases) received treatment with omeprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin, while the observation group (48 cases) received treatment with bismuth containing triple therapy (amoxicillin+ metronidazole+ bismuth potassium citrate). After 10 days of treatment, the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated The improvement time of clinical symptoms, Hp conversion rate, serum indicators (Gas, TGF-α, hs-CRP) before and after treatment, and incidence of adverse reactions were observed.Results:The total effective rate and Hp conversion rate of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group [95.83%(46/48) vs 81.25%(39/48), 97.92%(47/48) vs 83.33%(40/48), P<0.05]. The improvement time of upper abdominal pain, heartburn, and acid reflux symptoms was significantly shorter than that of the control group (all P<0.05). After 10 days of treatment, the serum Gas and hs-CRP levels in both groups significantly decreased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05), and the observation group was lower than the control group after treatment ( P<0.05); The levels of TGF-α in both groups increased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05), and the observation group was higher than the control group after treatment ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups [4.17%(2/48) vs 2.08%(1/48), P>0.05]. Conclusions:The triple therapy with bismuth containing agents has a better therapeutic effect on children with Hp positive peptic ulcers, and can promote ulcer mucosal repair by improving inflammatory response, with good safety.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of fibroblast growth factor(FGF)21 in liver lipid deposition.Methods HepG2 cells were divided into control group and induction group.Fatty liver cell model was constructed using oleic acid and palmitic acid in induction group.Lipid deposition under the microscope was observed between two groups by oil red O staining,and the protein expression of FGF21 and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)in two groups were detected.FGF21 lentivirus-infected fatty liver cells were used as interference group,and scramble lentivirus-infected fatty liver cells were used as non-interference group.The expression level of FGF21 mRNA,lipid deposition and expression level of GPX4 protein were compared between two groups.Results Compared with control group,induction group had significant lipid deposition,significantly increased expression level of FGF21 protein,and significantly decreased expression level of GPX4 protein(P＜0.05).After the interference of FGF21 lentivirus,expression level of FGF21 mRNA was significantly decreased,lipid droplets were decreased,lipid deposition was significantly improved,and GPX4 protein expression level was significantly increased in interference group(P＜0.05).Conclusion FGF21 may promote liver lipid formation by inhibiting lipid peroxidation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiao′er Huangjin Zhike Granules in the treatment of cough caused by acute bronchitis in children, which is defined in TCM terms as a syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung.Methods:This was a block-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial.From January 2022 to September 2023, 359 children aged 3 to 7 years old diagnosed as acute bronchitis (lung-obstructing phlegm-heat syndrome) were enrolled from 21 participating hospitals and randomly assigned to the experimental group and placebo group in a 3︰1 ratio, and respectively treated with Xiao′er Huangjin Zhike Granules and its matching placebo.Cough resolution/general resolution rate after 7 days of treatment was used as the primary efficacy outcome for both groups.Results:(1)On the seventh day of treatment, the rate of cough disappearance/basically disappearance in the experimental group and placebo group were 73.95% and 57.61% retrospectively, which had statistically significance ( P=0.001).(2)After 7 days of treatment, the median duration of cough disappearance/basic disappearance were 5 days and 6 days in the two groups , with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.006).The area under the curve of cough symptom severity time was 7.20 ± 3.79 in the experimental group and 8.20±4.42 in the placebo group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P=0.039).(3) After 7 days of treatment, the difference between TCM syndrome score and baseline was -16.0 (-20.0, -15.0) points in the experimental group and -15.0 (-18.0, -12.0) points in the placebo group, with significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.004).In the experimental group, the clinical control rate, the markedly effective rate, the effective rate and the ineffective rate were 49.04%, 28.35%, 16.48% and 6.13% severally; and in the placebo group, the clinical control rate, the markedly effective rate, the effective rate and the ineffective rate were 38.04%, 26.09%, 29.35%, and 6.52% separately, which had statistically significant ( P=0.014).(4) There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events or adverse reactions during the trial between both groups.Moreover, while adverse reactions in the form of vomiting and diarrhea were occasionally reported, no serious drug-related adverse event or adverse reaction was reported.(5)The tested drug provided good treatment compliance, showing no statistically significant difference from the placebo in terms of compliance rate. Conclusions:Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that Xiao′er Huangjin Zhike Granules provides good safety, efficacy, and treatment compliance in the treatment of cough caused by acute bronchitis, and lung-obstructing phlegm-heat syndrome, in children.

Objective By knocking down the expression of fibroblast growth factors 21(FGF21)in adipose liver cells,to observe lipid metabolism and to explore the molecular mechanism of FGF21 regulating lipid metabolism in liver cells.Methods By interfering with lentivirus transfection through FGF21,the expression of FGF21 was reduced in HepG2 cells.HepG2 cells were transfected with an empty vector as a control,and were respectively referred to as interference group and control group.Both groups were stimulated with palmitic acid oleic acid to construct non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)cell model.The expression of FGF21 was interfered by lentivirus vector,oil red O staining and spectrophotometric value were measured to observe the lipid deposition in cells.Use Western blot method to detect the changes of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3),JAK2,and STAT3 proteins in fatty liver cells.Results Oil red O staining and absorbance values showed that compared with control group,interference group significantly reduced the lipid droplet content in liver cells;Western blot results showed that the expression levels of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3),Janus kinase 2(JAK2),signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3),and STAT3 protein were significantly increased in interference group of liver cells.Conclusion In the fatty liver cell model,knocking down FGF21 can improve lipid deposition through liver cells.The mechanism may be through increasing the SOCS3/JAK/STAT pathway,but the specific mechanism of action needs further in-depth research in the future.

The comparison between traditional Chinese medicine Jinzhen oral liquid (JZOL) and Western medicine in treating children with acute bronchitis (AB) showed encouraging outcomes. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the JZOL for improving cough and expectoration in children with AB. 480 children were randomly assigned to take JZOL or ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution for 7 days. The primary outcome was time-to-cough resolution. The median time-to-cough resolution in both groups was 5.0 days and the antitussive onset median time was only 1 day. This randomized controlled trial showed that JZOL was not inferior to cough suppressant and phlegm resolving western medicine in treating cough and sputum and could comprehensively treat respiratory and systemic discomfort symptoms. Combined with clinical trials, the mechanism of JZOL against AB was uncovered by network target analysis, it was found that the pathways in TRP channels like IL-1β/IL1R/TRPV1/TRPA1, NGF/TrkA/TRPV1/TRPA1, and PGE2/EP/PKA/TRPV1/TRPA1 might play important roles. Animal experiments further confirmed that inflammation and the immune regulatory effect of JZOL in the treatment of AB were of vital importance and TRP channels were the key mechanism of action.

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model for neonatal asphyxia in cesarean section and test its application effect.Methods:This was a retrospective study. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 2 244 infants (modeling group) who were delivered by cesarean section in Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University from April 2021 to December 2021. Newborns were divided into asphyxia group ( n=176) and non-asphyxia group ( n=2 068) according to the occurrence of neonatal asphyxia. Logistic regression was used to screen the risk factors of neonatal asphyxia in cesarean section and a line chart model was established to predict the risk. Another 683 neonates were selected as validation group for external validation of the model from January to March in 2022. Results:Five factors including preterm birth, fetal distress, fetal growth restriction, abnormal S/D value of umbilical artery and umbilical cord around the neck were included in the prediction model. The area under ROC curve of the modeling group was 0.902, the Youden index was 0.687, the sensitivity was 0.837, and the specificity was 0.850. Hosmer-lemeshow test showed that χ2=1.79, and P=0.877. In the validation group, the area under ROC curve was 0.823, the Youden index was 0.555, the sensitivity was 0.835, and the specificity was 0.720. It showed that the model had a good fitting effect and identification validity. Conclusions:The risk prediction model has a good clinical application value in the prediction of neonatal asphyxia in cesarean section, and provides reference for obstetricians to take preventive management measures of neonatal asphyxia in time.

Objective:To estimate the diagnostic value of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) by Meta-analysis.Methods:The databases, including Wanfang Database, VIP citation databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine disc, Excerpta Medica Database (EMbase), PubMed, Cochrane Library, were searched for the studies related to the diagnostic value of anti-CCP antibody for JIA. After extracting literature data and assessing the articles by Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. The sources of heterogeneity, sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), area under the curve (AUC) were calculated by the summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) curve by Stata 12.0 software.Results:A total of 30 literature reports were included in this Meta-analysis. The heterogeneity and the threshold effect of the included articles were tested, a mixed effects model was selected to calculate the pooled weighted SEN [0.16, 95% CI(0.11, 0.22)], SPE [0.99, 95% CI(0.98, 0.99)] and AUC [0.86, 95% CI(0.83, 0.89)]. The sensitivity estimates were highly heterogeneous, which was partially explained by the higher sensitivity in the rheumatoid factor-positive polyarthritis (RF+PA) subtypes [0.65, 95% CI (0.51, 0.76)] than in the other subtypes. The ability of diagnostic differentiation between of JIA and healthy children was better than the diagnostic differentiation between JIA and other patients ( Z=7.9, P<0.01). Conclusion:Although anti-CCP antibody cannot be used as an early diagnostic indicator of JIA, it can provide a certain guiding role in the initial screening and early treatment of the disease. CCP has clinical value in the differential diagnosis of RF+PA subtypes.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between cord blood vitamin D level and recurrent respiratory tract infection in infants. Methods: From August 2014 to July 2015, 298 neonates in the Second Hospital of Jiaxing were selected in this study.The serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in umbilical cord blood of neonates.The incidence of respiratory tract infection in infants was followed up. Results: There were 53.1%(158/298) newborns with vitamin D deficiency(deficiency group), 24.8%(74/298) neonates with inadequate vitamin D(inadequate group), 22.1%(66/298) infants with adequate vitamin D(adequate group). The incidence rates of recurrent respiratory infections in vitamin D deficiency group, inadequate group and adequate group were 29.7%(47/158), 17.6%(13/74), 10.6%(7/66), respectively.The incidence of recurrent respiratory tract infection among the three groups was statistically significantly different(χ²=11.114, P=0.01). Conclusion Vitamin D nutrition level of neonates has a significant correlation with infants with respiratory tract infection, especially lower respiratory tract infection.Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the supplement and detection of vitamin D during pregnancy, so as to reduce the incidence of infant respiratory diseases in the region.

Objective To investigate the effects of olanzapine combined with metacognitive training on social cognition and insight of schizophrenic patients.Methods One hundred twenty patients with schizophrenia were randomly divided into two groups. All patients received four week treatment. The study gr oup received olanzapine combined metacognitive training treatment and the control group only used olanzapine treatment. The positive and negative symptoms scale (PANSS), the Insight and Treatment Attitude Questionnaire (ITAQ), the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS) and Faux Pas Recognition Task (FPRT) were assessed at baseline and after four weeks of treatment. Result There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of all battery between two groups before treatment (P>0.05). the scores of total PANSS and subscales, ITAQ, BCIS and FPRT were statistically significant between study and control groups (P<0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the total PANSS scores and subscales scores were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). The ITAQ score, self-reflection factor of BCIS, composite index and FPRT scores were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). The difference in self-certainty of BCIS difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Differences of the remaining scales were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Olanzapine combined with metacognitive training has a significant effect on the social cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenic patients,improving the patient's insight and enhancing the social function.

Objective To investigate the influence of gestational abnormal glucose metabolism on the birth outcome and long-term weight of neonates.Methods Thirty pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were enrolled in this study.30 pregnant women with gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT) were selected,and 30 normal pregnant women(NGT) were selected as control group.The weight,length and weight index (PI) of the three groups were collected.The incidence rates of adverse outcomes were collected in the three groups.The long-term weight of the newborns was investigated.According to whether breastfeeding,they were divided into breastfeeding group and non-breastfeeding group.The body mass index (BMI) was compared between 42 days,3 months,6 months and 12 months,respectively.Results There were statistically significant differences in body weight and PI of neonates except length between the control group and the GDM group (t =1.60,P =0.06;t =5.09,P =0.00;t =6.94,P =0.00).There were statistically significant differences in body weight and PI of neonates except length between the control group and the GIGT group(t =1.57,P =0.06;t =4.21,P =0.01;t =5.88,P =0.00).There were no statistically significant differences in the above indices between the GDM group and the GIGT group(all P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of macrosomia in the GDM group and the GIGT group was significantly higher than that of the control group (x2 =10.59,P =0.00).The incidence rates of respiratory failure syndrome,cardiovascular disease,hyperbilirubinemia and birth injury among the three groups had no statistically significant differences(x2 =1.23,P =0.54;x2 =2.09,P=0.35;x2 =2.02,P=0.36;x2 =2.09,P=0.35;x2 =4.03,P=0.13).At the birth of 42 days,3 months,6 months,12 months,the BMI of neonates in the GDM group and the GIGT group were slightly higher than those in the control group,but there were no statistically significant differences in BMI index among the three groups of breasffed newborns (F =0.71,P =0.28;F =0.97,P =0.12;F =0.98,P =0.12;F =0.77,P =0.22).At the birth of 42 days,3 months,6 months,12 months,the BMI of neonates in the GDM group and the GIGT group were slightly higher than those in the control group,but there were no statistically significant differences in BMI index among the three groups of breasffed newborns (F =0.77,P =0.34;F =0.89,P =0.10;F =1.12,P =0.09;F =0.55,P =0.67).Conclusion Abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women can lead to a significant increase in the incidence of neonatal macrosomia.The body weight and PI of neonates are higher than those without abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women,but the abnormal maternal glucose metabolism in pregnant women has no significant influence on the long-term body weight of neonates,and there is no significant difference between NGT and neonates.
