OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of Saccharomyces boulardii and Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria in the treatment of pediatric diarrhea. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CBM， Wanfang data， CNKI and VIP， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about S. boulardii （S. boulardii group） versus Bifidobacterium triple liver bacteria （Bifidobacterium group） were collected. After screening the literature， extracting data and evaluating the quality， meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 9 RCTs were included， involving 898 patients. Results of meta-analysis showed there was no statistical significance in total response rate [OR＝1.69， 95%CI （0.93， 3.09）， P＝0.09]， duration of diarrhea [MD＝－1.39， 95%CI （－3.35， 0.57）， P＝0.16]， the time of abdominal pain disappearance [MD＝0.09， 95%CI（－0.87， 1.05），P＝0.86] or the incidence of adverse reactions [OR＝0.65， 95%CI （0.05， 8.03）， P＝0.74]. The number of stools in S. boulardii group was significantly less than Bifidobacterium group [MD＝－0.91， 95%CI （－1.80， －0.02）， P＝0.04]. The results of subgroup analysis showed that the duration of diarrhea in children with antibiotic-associated diarrhea in S. boulardii group was significantly shorter than Bifidobacterium group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy and safety of S. boulardii are similar to those of Bifidobacterium in the treatment of diarrhea， but S. boulardii is better than Bifidobacterium in terms of stool number， the duration of diarrhea in children with antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

Immunotherapy， as an emerging treatment method， has been proven to improve the prognosis of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia （B-ALL） and has good application prospects. Immunotherapy， including chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy （CAR-T） and monoclonal antibodies， has shown great potential for application， and has been approved for marketing. This article summarizes the application of the above two therapies in the treatment of relapsed/ refractory B-ALL， and concludes that CAR-T is a kind of personalized immunotherapy， and the selection of ideal targets is an important part of its action. Currently， the ideal targets in clinical studies include CD19， CD22 and CD19/CD22. Monoclonal antibodies， including blinatumomab and inotuzumab ozogamicin， have shown superior therapeutic efficacy for relapsed/refractory B- ALL. Immunotherapy has shown superior therapeutic effects compared to conventional chemotherapy， expanding the selection of treatment options for relapsed/refractory B-ALL.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of levetiracetam versus valproic acid in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy， and to provide evidence-based reference. METHODS The databases including CNKI， VIP， China Biomedical Literature Database， Wanfang data， PubMed， Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for the RCTs about levetiracetam （trial group） and valproic acid （control group） were collected from the inception to October 1st， 2021. After literature screening and data extraction， the quality of included literature was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool recommended by Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0 and RevMan 5.3 software were used for meta-analysis， sensitivity analysis and bias risk analysis. RESULTS A total of 33 RCTs were included， involving 3 116 patients in total. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the effective rate of trial group was significantly higher than control group [RR＝1.06， 95%CI （1.02， 1.11）， P＝0.003]. The subgroup analysis according to different courses of treatment showed that there was no statistical significance in the effective rate between 2 groups after 1 and 3 months of treatment （P＞0.05）； after 6 months of treatment， the effective rate of trial group was significantly higher than that of control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of adverse drug reaction in trial group was significantly lower than control group [RR＝0.50， 95%CI （0.41， 0.61）， P＜0.000 01]； among specific adverse drug reactions， the incidence of nausea and vomiting in trial group was significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）； but there was no statistical significance in the incidence of rash， drowsiness， abnormal mood， loss of appetite， dizziness or headache （P＞0.05）. Results of sensitivity analysis showed that study results were stable and reliable. Results of publication bias analysis showed that there was little possibility of publication bias in this study. CONCLUSIONS The short-term efficacy （1， 3 months） of LEV is similar to that of VPA in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy， but long-term efficacy （6 months） of LEV is better than that of VPA； moreover， LEV shows better safety in digestive system.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical manifestations and characteristics of adverse drug reactions （ADR） caused by cefotaxime sodium in Shandong province， and to explore the effects of skin test before medication of cefotaxime sodium on serious ADR， so as to provide reference for safe drug use in clinic. METHODS The relevant data of cefotaxime sodium-induced ADR reported by Shandong Province ADR Monitoring Center during December 2019 to December 2021 were collected from National ADR Monitoring System. The ADR classification， age， gender， ADR occurrence time， route of administration， history of allergy， primary diseases， ADR systems/organs involved， clinical manifestations， outcome， skin test or not before medication were statistically analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1 057 ADR reports caused by cefotaxime sodium were included. Among them， there were 867 patients （82.02%） with general ADR and 190 patients （17.98%） with serious ADR. The majority were ＜11 years old （40.30%）. The main route of administration was intravenous drip （96.69%）. A total of 1 033 patients （97.73%） developed ADR 30 min to 24 h after medication. A total of 814 patients （77.01%） had no history of allergy. The primary diseases were respiratory system infection （56.58%）. Main systems/organs involved in ADR were skin and its appendants， digestive system and respiratory system， and its clinical manifestations were rash， pruritus， nausea， vomiting， chest tightness， etc. After withdrawal or symptomatic treatment， 1 050 patients （99.34%） were cured or improved. Before the use of cefotaxime sodium， 850 patients underwent skin test （151 patients occurred serious ADR）； there was no statistical significance in the incidence of serious renzhen202102@163.com ADR， compared with the incidence of serious ADR in 207 patients without skin test （39 patients occurred serious ADR）（P＝0.718）. CONCLUSIONS ADR caused by cefotaxime sodium is mainly seen in patients ＜11 years old， mostly occurring 30 min to 24 h after intravenous drip； skin test before medication of cefotaxime sodium cannot reduce the risk of serious ADR. Before using cefotaxime sodium in clinical practice， patients should be asked about their allergy and medication history in detail. During use， it is important to focus on the patient’s condition within 24 h after medication to prevent serious ADR and ensure the safety of clinical medication.

OBJECTIVE To compare the safety of polysaccharide iron complex and ferrous sulfate in the treatment of anemia during pregnancy. METHODS Retrieved from Cochrane Library， PubMed， Embase， SinoMed， CNKI， VIP and Wanfang database， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about polysaccharide iron complex （trial group） versus ferrous sulfate （control group） in the treatment of anemia during pregnancy were collected from the inception to May 20th， 2022. After literature screening， data extraction and quality evaluation， meta-analysis， sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis were conducted with RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 13 RCTs were included， with a total of 1 318 patients. Results of meta-analysis showed that the total incidence of adverse drug reactions （ADR） [RR＝0.11， 95%CI （0.06， 0.18）， P＜0 000 01]， gastrointestinal adverse reactions [RR＝0.08， 95%CI （0.05， 0.12）， P＜0.000 01]， anorexia and nausea [RR＝0.21， 95%CI （0.09， 0.54）， P＝ 0.001]， abdominal pain [RR＝0.18， 95%CI （0.04， 0.78）， P＝0.02]， diarrhea [RR＝0.18， 95%CI （0.04， 0.79）， P＝0.02]， vomiting [RR＝0.24， 95%CI （0.06， 0.89）， P＝0.03] and gingival melanosis [RR＝0.09， 95%CI （0.03， 0.28）， P＜0.000 1] in the trial group were all significantly lower than the control group. The results of sensitivity analysis showed that the conclusions obtained in this study were relatively robust. The results of publication bias analysis indicated that there was a high possibility of publication bias in this study. CONCLUSIONS The polysaccharide iron complex is safer than ferrous sulfate for treatment of anemia during pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE To systematically analyze the related clinical research of therapeutic drugs for rotavirus infection in children， and to provide reference for the improvement of scientific and normative implementation in clinical trials. METHODS PubMed， the Cochrane Library and Embase databases were systematically searched， and English literature on randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about therapeutic drugs for pediatric rotavirus infection published between 2000 and 2022 was included. After literature screening and data extraction， the quality of the included literature was evaluated using the bias risk assessment scale recommended by Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews. The research objectives， overall design， subject inclusion and exclusion criteria， interventions， course of treatment， follow-up visits， efficacy and safety evaluations， and results were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 17 RCTs were included， involving 1 345 subjects. The purpose included relieving rotavirus infection-induced diarrhea， promoting rotaviral shedding， improving clinical symptoms such as dehydration， fever， vomiting， and shortening hospital stays， etc. All trials were randomized and single-center studies， mostly double-blind （13 trials） and placebo-controlled （16 trials）， and 64.71% had sample size estimation. The inclusion and exclusion criteria included diarrhea attack， virus detection， clinical symptoms， disease types and drugs， etc. The interventions included probiotics （8 trials）， biological agents （3 trials）， anti-infective agents （3 trials）， etc. Most of treatment course was 1-5 days （13 trials）. A total of 58.82% were designed for follow-up. In the validity evaluation， diarrhea attack， microbiology test and fecal culture， clinical symptoms such as dehydration， fever and vomiting， length of hospital stays or duration of symptoms were included. Vesikari scale， WHO criteria and researcher evaluation were the evaluation criteria. In the safety evaluation， 10 trials were designed for adverse events/adverse reaction observation； only one trial listed ethical approval numbers. The information of literature included in the study covers the basic elements for the design of RCTs of drugs for rotavirus infection in children. Nevertheless， all are single- center studies. Partial studies lack the basis for sample size estimation and related contents of drug combination， and the quality needs to be improved. In the future， the high-quality multi-center clinical trials should be further conducted， with objective measurement indexes as the validity results， and the ethical review and safety evaluation should be emphasized.
