Background: Cough variant asthma (CVA) is one of the most common respiratory diseases in children, which has a serious impact on the quality of life and daily activities of children. For severe CVA, immunomodulatory drugs are needed.
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of salmeterol combined with budesonide in the treatment of pediatric CVA.
Background: Mepiquat chloride (DPC) enhances the resistance of cotton plants, and it is widely used as a growth regulator. DPC can stimulate photosynthesis, stabilize the structure of cotton leaves, and affect population reproduction and energy substances in Aphis gossypii Glover (cotton aphids), but interactions between DPC and cotton aphids remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed the physiological responses of cotton to DPC, and the toxicity of DPC toward cotton aphids, before and after feeding, to explore the DPC-induced defense mechanism against cotton aphids.
