    Abstract Background: Asthma exhibits varying clinical features in children and adults. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the clinical significance of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma, disregarding the characteristics of IgE and its relevant factors.
    Objective: This study aimed to gain a better understanding of the differences in the characteristics of IgE between childhood and adulthood allergic asthma (AA).
    Methods: Patients with AA from the 2005 to 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were divided into 3 groups based on their current age and onset age of AA: childhood AA (Group 1), childhood-onset adult AA (Group 2), and adulthood-onset AA (Group 3). Intragroup analysis and intergroup comparison were carried out, focusing on the characteristics and relevant factors of IgE, as well as the clinical relevance of total IgE (total IgE, tIgE) and allergen-specific IgE (allergen-specific IgE, sIgE).
    Results: A total of 424 patients were analyzed, including 187 with childhood AA, 132 with childhood-onset adult AA, and 105 with adulthood-onset AA. The concentration of tIgE was found to be higher in Group 1 (268.0, 118.0-686.0 kU/L) than in Group 2 (224.0, 78.0-494.0 kU/L) and Group 3 (165.0, 74.4-350.5 kU/L). The sensitization rates did not differ between Group 1 and Group 2 but were higher compared with Group 3, particularly for
    Conclusions: There are notable differences in the characteristics and environmental factors of IgE among childhood AA, childhood-onset adult AA, and adulthood-onset AA. Additionally, IgE plays a more significant role in childhood AA due to its higher concentration, fewer relevant environmental chemicals and greater clinical relevance. This may partially explain the age-related features of asthma.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effects of combined respiratory muscle and exercise training on inspiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, spirometry measurements, asthma control the quality-of-life in children with asthma.
    Methods: Fifty children with asthma, who were treated in children's hospital of Chongqing medical university in Chongqing between May and December 2021, were selected and randomly divided into a rehabilitation group and a control group by using a random number table. The control group was given routine drug treatment and health education while the rehabilitation group received a combination of respiratory muscle and exercise training on the basis of control group.
    Results: After three months of treatment, the maximum inspiratory pressure, level of asthma control and quality-of-life in the rehabilitation group were significantly improved when compared with those in the control group (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in the 6-minute walking test and spirometry measurements (P>0.05). After three months of treatment, all outcome indicators in the rehabilitation group were significantly improved when compared to those before treatment (P<0.05). The mean value of maximum inspiratory pressure and some indices of spirometry measurements in the control group were significantly improved when compared to those before treatment (P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Combining respiratory muscle and exercise training on the basis of the routine drug treatment and health education significantly improved inspiratory muscle strength, the level of asthma control and the quality-of-life in children with asthma. More research is needed to explore its role in asthma in the future.

    Abstract Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children under the age of five. Despite this, there is still a lack of safe and effective vaccines and antiviral agents for clinical use. Andrographolide exerts antiviral functions against a variety of viruses, but whether (and how) it exerts antiviral effects on RSV remains unclear.
    Methods and results: In vitro RSV infection models using A549 and 16HBE cell lines were established, and the effects of andrographolide on RSV were analyzed via RSV N gene load and proinflammatory cytokine levels. The RNA transcriptome was sequenced, and data were analyzed by R software. Andrographolide-related target genes were extracted via network pharmacology using online databases. Lentiviral transfection was applied to knockdown the heme oxygenase-1 gene (Hmox1, HO-1). Results showed that andrographolide suppressed RSV replication and attenuated subsequent inflammation. Network pharmacology and RNA sequencing analysis indicated that the hub gene HO-1 may play a pivotal role in the anti-RSV effects of andrographolide. Furthermore, andrographolide exerted antiviral effects against RSV partially by inducing HO-1 but did not activate the antiviral interferon response.
    Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that andrographolide exerted anti-RSV activity by up-regulating HO-1 expression in human airway epithelial cells, providing novel insights into potential therapeutic targets and drug repurposing in RSV infection.

    Abstract We previously showed that both high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and natural killer (NK) cells contribute to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced persistent airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Meanwhile, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) and its specific receptor (chemokine receptor 4, CXCR4) play important roles in recruitment of immune cells. CXCL12 has been reported to form a complex with HMGB1 that binds to CXCR4 and increases inflammatory cell migration. The relationship between HMGB1, NK cells and chemokines in RSV-infected model remains unclear. An anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody and inhibitor of CXCR4 (AMD3100) was administered to observe changes of NK cells and airway disorders in nude mice and BALB/c mice. Results showed that the mRNA expression and protein levels of HMGB1 were elevated in late stage of RSV infection and persistent airway inflammation and AHR were diminished after administration of anti-HMGB1 antibodies, with an associated significant decrease in CXCR4

    Abstract Background: Despite being a global public health concern, there is a research gap in analyzing implementation strategies for managing off-label drug use in children. This study aims to understand professional health managers' perspectives on implementing the Guideline in hospitals and determine the Guideline's implementation facilitators and barriers.
    Methods: Pediatric directors, pharmacy directors, and medical department directors from secondary and tertiary hospitals across the country were recruited for online interviews. The interviews were performed between June 27 and August 25, 2022. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was adopted for data collection, data analysis, and findings interpretation to implement interventions across healthcare settings.
    Results: Individual interviews were conducted with 28 healthcare professionals from all over the Chinese mainland. Key stakeholders in implementing the Guideline for the Management of Pediatric Off-Label Use of Drugs in China (2021) were interviewed to identify 57 influencing factors, including 27 facilitators, 29 barriers, and one neutral factor, based on the CFIR framework. The study revealed the complexity of the factors influencing managing children's off-label medication use. A lack of policy incentives was the key obstacle in external settings. The communication barrier between pharmacists and physicians was the most critical internal barrier.
    Conclusion: To our knowledge, this study significantly reduces the implementation gap in managing children's off-label drug use. We provided a reference for the standardized management of children's off-label use of drugs.

    Abstract Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is the predominant viral pathogen responsible for causing acute lower respiratory tract infections in children, currently lacks specific therapeutic drugs. Despite andrographolide's demonstrated effectiveness against various viral infections, its effects on RSV infection remain unclear.
    Methods: In this study, RSV infection and andrographolide-intervened A549 cell lines were used. The virus load of RSV and the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in the cell supernatant were quantified. The potential targets of andrographolide in the treatment of RSV-infected airway epithelial cells were analyzed using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and the PharmMapper Database, and the changes in mRNA expression of these target genes were measured. To further illustrate the effect of andrographolide on the death pattern of RSV-infected airway epithelial cells, Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis assays and Western blotting were conducted.
    Results: Andrographolide decreased the viral load and attenuated IL-6 and IL-8 levels in cell supernatant post-RSV infection. A total of 25 potential targets of andrographolide in the treatment of RSV-infected airway epithelial cells were discovered, and CASP1, CCL5, JAK2, and STAT1 were identified as significant players. Andrographolide noticeably suppressed the increased mRNA expressions of these genes post-RSV infection as well as IL-1β. The flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that andrographolide alleviated apoptosis in RSV-infected cells. Additionally, RSV infection decreased the protein levels of caspase-1, cleaved caspase-1, cleaved IL-1β, N-terminal of GSDMD, and Bcl-2. Conversely, andrographolide increased their levels.
    Conclusion: These results suggest that andrographolide may reduce RSV-induced inflammation by suppressing apoptosis and promoting pyroptosis in epithelial cells, leading to effective viral clearance.

    Abstract Objective·To explore the potential impact of early-life environmental exposure on childhood asthma in Chongqing, China.Methods·A case-control study was designed. The cases with asthma diagnosis were enrolled from outpatients of the respiratory medicine departments and the healthy children without history of asthma were enrolled from health check-up clinics of the child health care departments in two tertiary children's hospitals in Chongqing from September 2020 to January 2022. The children in the two groups had all lived in Chongqing since birth and their home addresses had not changed before they were 3 years old. A self-developed “Children's Early-Life Environment Survey” was used to collect general personal data, family information, child health status, birth history, and indoor environment from birth to 3 years old (second-hand smoke, dampness and mold points in bedroom, seen cockroaches in bedroom, bedroom cleaning frequency, air conditioning and air purifier use, and decoration). Based on the home address information before 3 years old, annual particular matter 2.5 (PM2.5) exposure levels were estimated by using a high spatiotemporal resolution model. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression models were used to analyze the early-life environmental factors affecting the development of childhood asthma. The risk factors which were statistically significant in univariate Logistic regression or had clinical significance were included in the multivariate model.Results·A total of 220 asthma cases and 636 healthy control children were enrolled. The mean age of the asthma cases and the controls were (7.4±2.1) and (7.6±2.1) years old, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, gestational age, birth weight, mode of delivery, family size, annual family income, maternal education level and living space per person. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that early-life bedroom dampness and mold exposure [odds ratio (OR)=2.155, 95% confidence interval (CI) ...
