ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical diagnosis value of serum precalcitonin(PCT) and early predictive significance of prealbumin (PA) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) in liver and renal injury for sepsis in children.@*Methods@#One hundred and fifty sepsis children were enrolled from the ward of children in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2018 to August 2019. In the same period 150 children with common infection and 150 healthy children who underwent physical examination were included into the study. According to the test, basic data was collected, and biochemical examinations, including the concentrations of the liver function, renal function, PA and RBP were measured. Then the data in the three groups was analyzed.@*Results@#The levels of PCT in sepsis group were significantly higher than those in the common infection group and the normal group: (7.02 ± 5.26) μg/L vs. (0.37 ± 0.28), (0.03 ± 0.01) μg/L; the levels of PA and RBP in sepsis group were significantly lower than those of the other two groups: (9.31 ± 4.36) mg/dl vs. (31.05 ± 5.05), (33.56 ± 4.59) mg/dl; (9.26 ± 3.58) mg/L vs. (31.2 ± 5.89), (33.83 ± 6.31) mg/L, and there were significant statistical differences (P < 0.05). The levels of PA and RBP in the common infection group and the normal group were normal and there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). There were no significant statistical differences in other indicators such as alanine aminotransferase, asparagus cochinchinensis, albumin, urea nitrogen and creatinine (P > 0.05).@*Conclusions@#Combined detection of serum PCT, PA and RBP plays an important role in the early diagnosis of children′s sepsis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the curative effect of oseltamivir combined with Lingjiaowuhutang in children with influenza. Methods One hundred and twenty cases of children with influenza were selected from November 2017 to December 2017 and they were divided into two groups, each with 60 cases. The patients in western medicine group were treated with oseltamivir alone , those in Chinese traditional medicine combined with western medicine group were treated with oseltamivir and Lingjiaowuhutang. The efficacy and duration of fever and cough were was compared between two groups. Results Thirty-three patients were confirmed influenza A and 87 patients were confirmed influenza B. The total effective rate in Chinese traditional medicine combined with western medicine group was significantly higher than that in western medicine group: 96.7% (58/60) vs. 86.7%(52/60), χ2= 3.927, P < 0.05. The duration of fever and cough in Chinese traditional medicine combined with western medicine group was significantly shorter than those in western medicine group: (30.18 ± 6.22) h vs. (36.24 ± 13.46) h, (120.18 ± 21.45) h vs. (143.14 ± 33.26) h, P < 0.05. Conclusions Oseltamivir combined with Lingjiaowuhutang in children with influenza has better efficacy and can shorten duration of disease. It is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the level of plasma soluble P-selectin and pediatric migraine. Methods ABC-ELISA method was used to detect the soluble P-selectin levels in migraine patients (migraine group), migraine patients under control (control group) and healthy children (healthy control group). Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) and the platelet count were performed. Correlation of P-selectin and platelet count was analyzed. Results Plasma soluble P-selectin level in migraine group was significantly higher than that in the control group and the healthy control group (both P 0.05). TCD showed cerebral vasospasm more frequent in the migraine group than the control group, with significant difference (P < 0.05). Blood examination revealed that platelet count of migraine group is higher than that of the control group and the healthy control group, with significant differences (P < 0.05). When migraine was under control, the level of plasma soluble P-selectin reduced to normal and the frequncy of cerebral vasospasm and platelet counts were also within normal range. Plasma soluble P-selectin level and platelet count were positively correlated (r = 0.996, P < 0.01). Conclusions Plasma soluble P-selectin increased in migraine children, the incidence of cerebral vasospasm was significantly increased. Plasma soluble P-selectin level and platelet count were positively correlated. Plasma soluble P-selectin can be used as one of the indicators of diagnosis, treatment and efficacy evaluation in pediatric migraine.
