ABSTRACT
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.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the global existed diarrhea guidelines of children,and provide evidence and methodology reference for clinical practice and the formulation of diarrhea evidence-based guideline of children in China. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Embase,CBM,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang databases and related websites,references included in studies were retrieved additionally from database building to Dec. 2017. The methodological quality of the guideline was evaluated by 2 researchers independently with guideline evaluation toolⅡ(AGREEⅡ). ICC analysis was used to calculate the differences between the evaluation results of 2 researchers and analyze the difference of the guidelines. RESULTS:A total of 1 168 literatures were collected primarily, and 15 guidelines were involved finally,among which 3 guidelines were from USA,2 from British,2 from WHO,each one from Italy,Europe,India,Australia,Malaysia,New South Wales,South Africa and China,respectively. Of 15 guidelines,there were 10 evidence-based guidelines and 5 non-evidence-based guidelines;evidence levels of guidelines and the method of recommendation intensity were different. ICC of 2 researchers were higher than 0.75(P<0.05),indicating good homogeneity among them. The quality of 15 guidelines were not high enough,and the scores of included guidelines in the field of AGREEⅡin descending order were as follows:scope and purpose(84.44%),clarity of presentation(79.82%),stakeholder involvement(45.74%), rigor of development(41.18%), editorial independence (36.39%)and applicability(33.89%). Main prevention and treatment method recommended by guideline included that(1) prevention and treatment of dehydration was the key link in the treatment of children's diarrhea;(2)guidelines generally believed continuous breastfeeding during rehydration could reduce the risk of dehydration in children;(3)zinc preparation was recommended to shorten the course of diarrhea;(4)antibiotics were used rationally, etc. CONCLUSIONS:The quality of global existed diarrhea guidelines of children should be improved. There is no comprehensive diarrhea evidence- based guideline of children in China,and there is a large discrepancy between the situation of pediatric diarrhea therapy in China and WHO standard;it is urgent to establish a standard treatment. It is suggested to formulate high quality pediatric diarrhea guideline in accordance with the national conditions of China,based on standards for international guideline report, comprehensively considering disease burden and characteristics of pediatric diarrhea in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyse effect of berberine combined with levofloxacin on myocardial enzymes, isozymes and serum inflammatory factors in children with diarrhea.Methods 58 patients who were diagnosed with pediatric infectious diarrhea in our hospital were collected.All patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 29 cases in each group.two groups of patients were given routine treatment, including infusion, maintaining water and electrolyte balance, supplemental calories etc.On the basis of routine treatment, control group was intravenous dripped with levofloxacin injection 200mL,one times per day,and experimental group was treated with berberine hydrochloride tables 0.2 g orally on the basis of control group.The treatment period was one week of two group.After one week of treatment, the serum levels of myocardial enzymes, isozymes, inflammatory factors and clinical curative effect were detected in all patients.Results Compared with control group post-treatment,the serum AST,ALT and LDH levels were lower than that of experimental group(P<0.05);the serum CK and CK-MB levels were lower than that of experimental group(P<0.05);the serum TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-10 levels were lower than that of experimental group(P<0.05);the total effective rate was higher in experimental group(P<0.05).Conclusion The berberine combined with levofloxacin can significantly reduce the serum myocardial enzymes, isozymes and serum inflammatory factors in children with diarrhea, improve clinical curative effect.
