Pediatric cerebral palsy is a syndrome of central motor and postural developmental disorders caused by non-progressive brain injury in fetuses or infants, often complicated by intellectual disability, language disorders, epilepsy, and behavioral abnormalities. Its incidence rate is approximately 2‰–3‰, with spastic type accounting for 60%–70%, making it a key and challenging condition in pediatric rehabilitation [1]. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this disease falls under the categories of "Five Types of Retardation," "Five Types of Flaccidity," "Atrophy Syndrome," and "Fetal Weakness." Its core pathogenesis is congenital deficiency and lack of nourishment to the brain marrow, combined with improper post-natal care and phlegm-stasis obstructing the meridians, leading to disturbed qi and blood flow and failure to nourish the sinews, bones, and muscles. Western medicine mainly uses modern rehabilitation training, physical agent therapy, and symptomatic medications. Although these approaches can improve symptoms to some extent, they have limitations such as slow onset of action, unsatisfactory long-term efficacy, and poor tolerance in some children. Acupuncture and tuina, as characteristic external TCM therapies, have been widely used in the rehabilitation of pediatric cerebral palsy due to their safety, environmental friendliness, non-invasiveness, and ease of operation. With the deepening of integrated Chinese and Western medicine research, their mechanisms have been continuously elucidated, clinical protocols have become increasingly standardized and precise, and their combination with modern rehabilitation has achieved synergistic efficacy. This article reviews recent domestic clinical research progress on acupuncture and tuina for pediatric cerebral palsy from the aspects of mechanisms, clinical treatment protocols, efficacy evaluation systems, and combined application models, aiming to provide a reference for developing individualized and comprehensive rehabilitation plans for children with this condition.

Background:The imbalance of immune response between helper Th1 and Th2 cells is the direct cause of asthma. It was closely related to abnormal expression of lncRNAs. However, whether lncRNAs can regulate Th1/Th2 balance in pediatric asthma remains to be investigated.Methods:Peripheral blood samples were collected from children with asthma and normal volunteers at the Children's Hospital of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital (Xi'an, China) in 2020. The qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA NEAT1, miR-217 and GATA3 in peripheral blood samples. The effects of lncRNA NEAT1, miR-217, and GATA3 on CD4+T cell population were detected in vitro. Meanwhile, the regulatory effect of lncRNA NEAT1/miR-217/GATA3 was evaluated through the dual luciferase report assay, functional assays and animal experiments.Results:We investigated that lncRNA NEAT1 and GATA3 was significantly up-regulated in CD4+T cells in peripheral blood of children with asthma (P<0.001). Knockdown of lncRNA NEAT1 or GATA3 significantly reduced Th2-related cytokines (P<0.05), but had no effect on Th1 cells. Importantly, the interactions of lncRNA NEAT1 with miR-217 and miR-217 with GATA3 were confirmed by dual luciferase report assay. Meanwhile, functional assays and animal experiments demonstrated that lncRNA NEAT1 regulated GATA3 expression through sponge miR-217, thereby regulating Th1/Th2 balance in CD4+T cells in pediatric asthma.Conclusion:lncRNA NEAT1/miR-217/GATA3 axis may reveal the immunological mechanism of pediatric asthma, which has potential clinical application value in the future.
In this paper, we report a case of autism in a child who was cured of Kawasaki disease and the condition of autism was significantly improved. Kawasaki disease (KD), also known as cutaneous mucosal lymph node syndrome, was first reported by Japanese doctor Tomaku Kawasaki in 1967. In recent years, domestic and foreign studies believe that the pathogenesis of KD is significantly related to infection, genetic susceptibility and immune response, and its pathogenesis and treatment still need to be further studied. The occurrence of autism may be based on genetic predisposition and triggered by environmental factors during the critical period of immune establishment at the age of 1-3 years, which causes immune-mediated inflammation, changes the permeability of gastrointestinal tract and blood-brain barrier, and leads to chronic inflammation in the central nervous system, thereby affecting neurogenesis, migration and synaptic construction.
COVID-19 has been known as the part of “epidemic disease” in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). The reason is that the human body feels the external toxin and pathogen. The pathogenesis is mainly "wet, heat, poison, stasis, deficiency" and the lesions are the principal in the spleen, lungs, and stomach. There are 4 COVID-19 waves in South Africa including ancestral variants, Beta, Delta, and Omicron. Compared COVID-19 cases of the 4 waves and found the admission rate of Omicron was 4.9%, Delta was 13.7%, and Beta was 18.9% (P<0.001). It also found that 28.8% of inpatients of Omicron were critical patients, while critical inpatients of Beta, and Delta were 60.1% and 66.9% respectively (P<0.001). The infectivity of Omicron is ten times that of Delta. Day on Jan 17, 2022, there were about 125 million omicron infections were diagnosed in the world. The current COVID-19 epidemic situation is frustrating. Today there are still no effective vaccines and targeted therapies for the treatment of COVID-19. Fight against the epidemic diseases in China, 90% of confirmed cases have been treated with TCD. TCD can effectively relieve symptoms, shorten the course of the disease, improve the cure rate, reduce the mortality rate, and promote rehabilitation, the total effective rate is more than 90%. This unique system of TCM has opened a new avenue to fight the novel pandemic.

Omicron is a newly discovered new variant virus, which spreads rapidly around Russia and the world and has a great impact. It is designated as a variant of concern (VOC) by the World Health Organization. Its characteristic of epidemiology, distribution, pathogenic and clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention is still being observed and summarized, and Clinical manifestations of COVID-19 infection are nonspecific, especially in preterm infants. Since there are few reports on the diagnosis and treatment of children with this infection. This article studies the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of omicron in Russian children, to improve the understanding and attention to the disease.
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, febrile, erupting, self-limited autoimmune disease with systemic vasculitis as the main lesion. It is more common in children under 5 years old, and the main lesions associate the coronary arteries. With the increasing incidence, it has become the first cause of acquired heart disease in children. There are many basic and clinical studies on Kawasaki disease at home and abroad, but there are few animal experimental studies on the treatment of coronary artery injury with stem cells. Therefore, it is of great value to select scientific experimental animal models for Kawasaki disease research to simulate the human characteristics of Kawasaki disease. Through the establishment and in-depth study of animal models of Kawasaki disease, it is helpful to better understand the pathophysiology, cytokines and molecular pathways related to disease advancement of Kawasaki disease. At the same time, it will augment the way for the development of new and effective diagnosis and treatment of Kawasaki disease. Therefore, based on the study of coronary artery lesion animal model of Kawasaki disease with stem cells, this article mainly discusses the research and new progress of Kawasaki disease animal models, so as to provide a good theoretical basis for clinical and animal experimental research. And make a review on this issue.
