International Journal of Pediatrics 2024;51(5):341-345
Objective:To explore the role of using methacholine challenge test(MCT)to detect airway responsiveness in standardized drug treatment management of asthma in children and adolescents.Methods:A total of 64 children diagnosed with moderate to severe persistent asthma from August 2010 to May 2021 at the Pediatric Asthma Clinic of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University,who received standardized pharmacotherapy for 2 years,were selected and divided into a discontinued group(31 cases)and a continued group(33 cases).The clinical value of lung function indicators,fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)values,and MCT results for evaluating and predicting the treatment effect of asthma in children and adolescents before and after treatment were analyzed.Results:The percentage of the expected value of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV 1)before treatment discontinued group was higher than that in the continued group,and the difference was statistically significant( F=7.283, P=0.009).After standardized treatment for 6 months,1 year,and 2 years,the percentage of the expected value of FEV 1 in the discontinued group( F=3.045, P=0.036)and continued group( F=17.485, P<0.001)was significantly higher than that before treatment.There was no statistically significant difference in FeNO between the two groups before treatment( F=0.298, P=0.587).By treated for 6 months( F=6.568, P=0.013),1 year( F=4.317, P=0.042),and 2 years( F=8.737, P=0.004),the FeNO levels of continued group were significantly higher than those of the discontinued group,with statistical significance.After treatment for 2 years,the PD 20 of the discontinued group was(1.702 ± 0.906)mg,while the PD 20 of the continued group was(1.184 ± 0.924)mg.The result was a significant difference between the two groups( t=2.263, P=0.027). Conclusion:Airway hyperresponsiveness of asthma patients persists,and the time for asthma to achieve clinical symptom control and inflammation improvement is earlier than that when airway responsiveness reaches the ideal level.In the long-term treatment and management of asthma,the clinical value of airway responsiveness assessment is relatively important.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of Omalizumab for treating pediatric allergic asthma in real world in China.Methods:The clinical data of children aged 6 to 11 years with allergic asthma who received Omalizumab treatment in 17 hospitals in China between July 6, 2018 and September 30, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Such information as the demographic characteristics, allergic history, family history, total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, specific IgE levels, skin prick test, exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels, eosinophil (EOS) counts, and comorbidities at baseline were collected.Descriptive analysis of the Omalizumab treatment mode was made, and the difference in the first dose, injection frequency and course of treatment between the Omalizumab treatment mode and the mode recommended in the instruction was investigated.Global Evaluation of Treatment Effectiveness (GETE) analysis was made after Omalizumab treatment.The moderate-to-severe asthma exacerbation rate, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dose, lung functions were compared before and after Omalizumab treatment.Changes in the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) and Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) results from baseline to 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 52 weeks after Omalizumab treatment were studied.The commodity improvement was assessed.The adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE) were analyzed for the evaluation of Omalizumab treatment safety.The difference in the annual rate of moderate-to-severe asthma exacerbation and ICS reduction was investigated by using t test.The significance level was set to 0.05.Other parameters were all subject to descriptive analysis.A total of 200 allergic asthma patients were enrolled, including 75.5% ( n=151) males and 24.5% ( n=49) females.The patients aged (8.20±1.81) years. Results:The median total IgE level of the 200 patients was 513.5 (24.4-11 600.0) IU/mL.Their median treatment time with Omalizumab was 112 (1-666) days.Their first dose of Omalizumab was 300 (150-600) mg.Of the 200 cases, 114 cases (57.0%) followed the first Omalizumab dosage recommended in the instruction.After 4-6 months of Omalizumab treatment, 88.5% of the patients enrolled ( n=117) responded to Omalizumab.After 4 weeks of treatment with Omalizumab, asthma was well-controlled, with an increased C-ACT score [from (22.70±3.70) points to (18.90±3.74) points at baseline]. Four-six months after Omalizumab administration, the annual rate of moderate-to-severe asthma exacerbation had a reduction of (2.00±5.68) per patient year( t=4.702 5, P<0.001), the median ICS daily dose was lowered [0 (0-240) μg vs. 160 (50-4 000) μg at baseline] ( P<0.001), the PAQLQ score was improved [(154.90±8.57) points vs. (122.80±27.15) points at baseline], and the forced expiratory volume in one second % predicted (FEV 1%pred) was increased [(92.80±10.50)% vs. (89.70±18.17)% at baseline]. In patients with available evaluations for comorbidities, including allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis or eczema, urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis and sinusitis, 92.8%-100.0% showed improved symptoms.A total of 124 AE were reported in 58 (29.0%) of the 200 patients, and the annual incidence was 0(0-15.1) per patient year.In 53 patients who suffered AE, 44 patients (83.0%) and 9 patients (17.0%) reported mild and moderate AE, respectively.No severe AE were observed in patients.The annual incidence of SAE was 0(0-1.9) per patient year.Most common drug-related AE were abdominal pain (2 patients, 1.0%) and fever (2 patients, 1.0%). No patient withdrew Omalizumab due to AE. Conclusions:Omalizumab shows good effectiveness and safety for the treatment of asthma in children.It can reduce the moderate-to-severe asthma exacerbation rate, reduce the ICS dose, improve asthma control levels, and improve lung functions and quality of life of patients.

Objective:To observe the role of Huaiqihuang Granules (HQ) in the long-term management of bronchial asthma in young children, and the effective effect on concomitant rhinitis.Methods:A prospective real-world multicenter study was conducted in children aged 2-5 years with asthma diagnosed in the outpatient department (from April 2016 to March 2019)who received either inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA)(control group); inhaled ICS/LTRA plus HQ(combination group), or HQ alone(HQ group). All patients were followed up at week 4, 8, 12 after treatment. The number of days with asthma symptoms, the frequency of severe asthma attacks, the level of asthma control, and the days with rhinitis symptoms in the last 4 weeks were recorded. Differences before and after treatment, and those among groups after treatment were compared using Kruskal- Wallis H test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results:A total of 2 234 eligible patients were recruited, and 2 147 cases completed followed-up visits, including 477, 1 374 and 296 cases in the control group, combination group, and HQ group, respectively. After the treatment, all 3 groups showed significant declines in the days with asthma symptoms, frequency of severe asthma attack and the days with rhinitis symptoms (all P<0.01), and the rate of well-controlled asthma increased significantly ( P<0.01). It lasted until the end of follow-up. Among groups, patients in the combination group showed significantly less days of asthma symptoms than those of the other 2 group at week 8 and 12[0(0, 0.9) d vs.0(0, 0.3) d, P<0.05; 0(0, 0.1) d vs. 0(0, 1.0) d, P<0.01]. Patients in the combination group and HQ group showed a significantly lower rate of severe asthma attacks than that of the control group at week 12 [0(0, 1), 0(0, 1), 0(0, 2), all P<0.05]. The well-controlled rate of asthma in the combination group was significantly higher than that of the control group and HQ group at week 8 and 12 (89.6% vs. 85.9% vs.82.1%, H=15.28; 90.9% vs. 84.1% vs. 81.8%, χ2=29.32, all P<0.01). Conclusions:HQ can significantly alleviate symptoms of asthma and rhinitis, severe attack of asthma, and increase the control rate of asthma when used as an additional treatment or used alone.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Dupilumab on the treatment of asthma combined with atopic dermatitis (AD) and other type 2 inflammatory co-morbidities in children.Methods:Clinical data of children with asthma combined with AD, allergic rhinitis (AR) type 2 inflammatory co-morbidities who received Dupilumab treatment for 16 weeks or longer in the Pediatric Asthma and Allergy Clinic of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from April 1, 2021 to September 1, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The efficacy and safety of Dupilumab on the treatment of asthma combined with AD and AR in children were assessed by comparing clinical symptoms before and after 16 weeks of treatment, changes in the dosage of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), lung function, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), and peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) count, and the incidence of adverse events, respectively.The correlation between the efficacy on AD, AR and asthma was assessed.Quantitative indicators that were normally distributed were compared by the paired samples t-test; otherwise, they were compared by rank- sum test.The correlation between different indicators was compared by Spearman rank correlation test. Results:(1) Ten children with asthma combined with AD, AR were recruited, including 8 males and 2 females, with the mean age of 9 (4-14) years.Three children were previously treated with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) prior to Dupilumab treatment, and 1 child was transferred to Dupilumab treatment because of a poor responsiveness to Omalizumab.(2) Improvement of asthma: after 16 weeks of treatment, asthma symptoms were well controlled in the 10 children, and none of them had acute asthma attacks.The childhood asthma control test for children and asthma control questionnaire findings were significantly improved from baseline (all P<0.05). Forced expiratory volume in the first second to the predicted value was significantly improved from baseline ( P<0.05). The dosage of ICS [all converted to Beclomethasone Dipropionate, 0 (0, 125.00) μg/d vs.400.00 (200.00, 400.00) μg/d] and FeNO level [11.00(9.00, 19.25)×10 -9vs.38.00(18.25, 56.75)×10 -9] significantly decreased from baseline (all P<0.05). Serum T-IgE testing before and after treatment were performed in 3 children, which were significantly reduced at 16 weeks of treatment compared with baseline (case 1: 2 759 kU/L vs.>5 000 kU/L; case 2: 1 432 kU/L vs.3 546 kU/L; case 3: 655 kU/L vs.1 000 kU/L, all P<0.05). (3) Improvement of asthma co-morbidities: The scoring atopic dermatitis scores, and patient-oriented eczema measure scores at each time point of follow-up decreased significantly compared with baseline (all P<0.001). The overall peripheral blood EOS count increased during the treatment period compared with baseline[1.18(0.62, 1.51)×10 9/L vs.1.01(0.54, 1.90)×10 9/L, P=0.444], although no significant difference was detected.Visual analog scale and total rhinitis medication scores decreased significantly compared with baseline (all P<0.05). (4) There was a positive correlation between baseline AD severity and the therapeutic efficacy on asthma ( r=0.697, P=0.025). (5) Safety: during the treatment, one case developed bilateral conjunctivitis and one developed bilateral bulbar conjunctival hemosiderosis, both of whom were improved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusions:Dupilumab treatment significantly improves clinical symptoms of asthma, AD and AR in children with asthma combined with AD, AR type 2 inflammatory co-morbidities, which also reduces ICS dosage, FeNO level, rhinitis medication and serum T-IgE level, and improve pulmonary function, with a good safety profile.It is a promising treatment to children with type 2 inflammatory disease who have a poor Omalizumab efficacy, and its combination with SCIT is a favorable etiologic treatment.

Pain is often debilitating, and current treatments are neither universally efficacious nor without risks. Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels offer alternative targets for pain relief, but little is known about the regulation or identities of endogenous TRP ligands that affect inflammation and pain. Here, transcriptomic and targeted lipidomic analysis of damaged tissue from the mouse spinal nerve ligation (SNL)-induced chronic pain model revealed a time-dependent increase in Cyp1b1 mRNA and a concurrent accumulation of 8,9-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) and 19,20-EpDPA post injury. Production of 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA by human/mouse CYP1B1 was confirmed in vitro, and 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA selectively and dose-dependently sensitized and activated TRPA1 in overexpressing HEK-293 cells and Trpa1-expressing/AITC-responsive cultured mouse peptidergic dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. TRPA1 activation by 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA was attenuated by the antagonist A967079, and mouse TRPA1 was more responsive to 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA than human TRPA1. This latter effect mapped to residues Y933, G939, and S921 of TRPA1. Intra-plantar injection of 19,20-EpDPA induced acute mechanical, but not thermal hypersensitivity in mice, which was also blocked by A967079. Similarly, Cyp1b1-knockout mice displayed a reduced chronic pain phenotype following SNL injury. These data suggest that manipulation of the CYP1B1-oxylipin-TRPA1 axis might have therapeutic benefit.

ObjectiveTo confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of Yishen Yangxin Anshen tablets in the treatment of insomnia (heart-blood deficiency and kidney-essence insufficiency syndrome). MethodA randomized block, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial design method was adopted, and a total of 480 patients with insomnia due to deficiency of heart blood and insufficiency of kidney essence (treatment group-control group 3∶1) from seven hospitals (Guang'anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, The First Clinical Hospital, Jilin Province Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), The Second Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of TCM, The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, Henan Province Hospital of TCM, Hebei General Hospital, The First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine) were enrolled. The treatment group was given Yishen Yangxin Anshen tablets and the control group received placebo tablets (4 tablets/time, 3 times/day, 4 weeks of administration, 4 weeks of follow-up after drug withdrawal). The sleep dysfunction rating scale (SDRS) score, pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score, TCM, polysomnography (PSG) indicators from four hospital (Guang'anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Henan Province Hospital of TCM, Hebei General Hospital, The First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine), and other efficacy indicators were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Through general physical examination, laboratory examination, and observation of adverse events, the safety of the drugs was evaluated. ResultThe baseline indexes of the two groups showed no significant difference and thus the two groups were comparable. After treatment, the total score of SDRS in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). After drug withdrawal for 4 weeks, the total score of SDRS demonstrated no significant change in the treatment group as compared with that at the end of treatment, indicating that the rebound change of curative effect was not obvious. After treatment, the total score of PSQI in the treatment group decreased as compared with that in the control group (P<0.01), and the change of total score of PSQI in the treatment group was statistically significant (P<0.05) after drug withdrawal for 4 weeks but small, indicating that the rebound change of curative effect was not obvious. After treatment, the total effective rate about the TCM symptoms in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (χ2=137.521,P<0.01). After treatment, the disappearance rates of single indexes in the treatment group, such as difficulty in falling asleep, easily waking up after sleeping, early awakening, short sleep time, dreamfulness, palpitation, forgetfulness, dizziness, mental fatigue, and weakness of waist and knee, increased compared with those in the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the treatment group demonstrated fewer awaking times (AT), longer total sleep time (TST), lower ATA/TST ratio, and higher sleep efficiency (%) than the control group (P<0.05). No abnormal value or aggravation related to drugs was observed in either group. The incidence of adverse events in the treatment group and the control group was 5.57% and 8.40% respectively. No serious adverse events or adverse events leading to withdrawal happened in either group. ConclusionYishen Yangxin Anshen tablets is effective and safe for patients with insomnia of deficiency of heart-blood and insufficiency of kidney-essence.
