Examining the relationship between alterations in plasma cholesterol, vascular endothelin-1 levels, and the severity of sepsis in children: An observational study.

Considering the significant impact of total cholesterol (TC) and vascular endothelin-1 (ET-1) on children sepsis outcomes, this research aimed to explore the association between the levels of plasma cholesterol and vascular endothelin-1 and the severity of sepsis and evaluated its clinical implications. In this study, we examined 250 pediatric patients diagnosed with sepsis between February 2019 and April 2021, collecting data on their plasma levels of TC and ET-1. Depending on the observed outcomes, the participants were divided into 2 categories: a group with a positive prognosis (control group, n = 100) and a group with a negative prognosis (n = 50).

Evaluation Value and Clinical Significance of Cardiac Troponin Level and Pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Score in the Definition of Sepsis 3.0 in Critically Ill Children.

Objective: A case-control study was conducted to explore the value and clinical significance of troponin level and pediatric sequential organ failure score in the evaluation of sepsis 3.0 definition in critically ill children.

Methods: 180 children with sepsis who were admitted to the ICU from March 2019 to June 2021 were enrolled in our hospital as the research objects.

Antiasthmatic activity of quercetin glycosides in neonatal asthmatic rats.

The present study investigated the anti-asthmatic activity of quercetin glycosides in neonatal asthmatic rats. Rats were divided into four groups: sham (non-asthmatic), asthmatic control, quercetin (25 mg/kg), and quercetin (50 mg/kg). Inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), inflammatory markers, apoptosis, fibrinogen level, prothrombin time, thrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, coagulation factor activity, and histopathology were monitored.
