Objective: To observe the effects of Xingpi Yang'er Granule (XYG) on serum gastrin (GAS), plasma motilin (MOT), and somatostatin (SS) in children patients with pneumonia induced diarrhea.
Methods: Recruited were 120 children inpatients with pneumonia induced diarrhea at the Department of Pediatrics, Liaocheng People's Hospital from June 2011 to June 2012. They were randomly assigned to two groups, the treatment group and the control group, 60 in each group. Those in the treatment group were treated with XYG, while those in the control group were treated with Live Combined Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus Tablets. Besides, 30 healthy children who received physical examinations at our hospital were recruited as the healthy control group. The clinical efficacy, changes of GAS, MOT, and SS contents were observed.
Results: The total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group and 93.3% in the control group, showing no statistical difference (P > 0.05). Compared with healthy control group, the GAS and MOT contents increased, and SS decreased before treatment in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the same group before treatment, GAS and MOT contents obviously decreased, and SS increased in the other two groups after treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group at the same time point, GAS and MOT decreased, and SS increased in the treatment group after treatment, showing statistical differences (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The levels of GAS, MOT, and SS were obviously changed in children patients with pneumonia induced diarrhea. XYG had obvious regulation on their GAS, MOT and SS contents.

Background: Vanadium (VAN) is a significant trace element, but its higher exposure is reported to cause severe organ toxicity. Tectochrysin (TEC) is a naturally derived flavonoid which demonstrates a wide range of pharmacological properties.
Aim: The current study was planned to assess the cardioprotective potential of TEC against VAN induced cardiotoxicity in rats via regulating biochemical, and histological profile.

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is linked to unhealthy lifestyles, and its treatment includes medications and exercise therapy. Many previous studies have evaluated the effects of exercise on BP improvement; however, exercise requires securing a location, time, and staff, which can be challenging in clinical settings. The antihypertensive effects of dance exercise for patients with hypertension have already been verified, and it has been found that adherence and dropout rates are better compared to other forms of exercise.

Purpose: Focusing the premature birth and its potential complications, this study analyzes Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) measured by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) and its correlation with the severity of prematurity and neonatal growth.
Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was performed, involving 71 children school-age with history of prematurity and a full-term children control group. Several variables from the neonatal period were collected, such as Gestational Age (GA), Birth Weight (BW), initial Weight Gain (WG) and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).

Muscle cramps, which are frequently encountered in hemodialysis patients, affect individuals bio-psycho-socially, limit their activities of daily living, and reduce their quality of life. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy massage applied in 12 sessions over 4 weeks on cramp frequency, pain severity, and quality of life. The study was conducted as a pretest-posttest, randomized controlled, and single-blinded using a quantitative and qualitative research design.
