Treatment for daytime frequent urination syndrome in children based on "one-breath circulation"JI Cong ZHAI Wensheng, HE Mei, REN Xiangge. 2022, 14 (4):  292-295.  Abstract ( 104 )   PDF (604KB) ( 80 )   Save Daytime frequent urination syndrome is one of the common diseases in children，which is characterized by a significant increase in the requency of urination during the day，without fever，pain or other discomfort.Modern medicine believes that the occurrence of the disease may be related to the immature development of the central nervous system in children.Mental tension is an important inducing factor.The main treatment is to alleviate the frequency of urination，and cholinergic receptor antagonists are often used.Relapse often occurs after drug withdrawal and there are many side effects.In addition，daytime frequent urination syndrome is often misdiagnosed as urinary tract infection，resulting in the abuse of antibiotics.Traditional Chinese medicine is effective in the treatment of the disease.Huang Yuanyu was one of the famous doctors in Qing dynasty，whose main academic thought is "circulation of one qi".The theory emphasizes that the rise and fall of middle qi is in the core position of the human body，and in physiology，spleen ascending and stomach falling results in wood fire rising and floating，gold water converging and falling，water and fire intersecting and yin and yang harmonizing;pathologically，if qi is in disorder，diseases will arise.Based on this theory，the incidence of daytime frequent urination syndrome is related to earth deficiency，wood depression and water coldness.The movement of body fluid is weak due to the deficiency of middle earth;the body fluid doesn′t circulate actively because of wood depression in the left side;the body fluid can′t be transformed due to water coldness in the right side;the deficiency and decline of middle yang is the main pathogenesis.Therefore，the principles of treatment are to warm middle earth，regulate liver，and warm Kidney to recover the circulation of one qi so that the body fluid moves in harmony and frequent urination is cured.

The results of meta-analysis showed that low-dose EPO could increase the mental development index(MDI)［MD=7.26，95%CI(2.99，11.53)，P=0.000 9］ and the psychomotor development index(PDI)［MD=4.88，95%CI(1.76，7.99)，P=0.002］ in the infants at adjusted age of 12 to 24 months， and it could reduce the incidence of MDI<70［MD=0.41,95%CI(0.27, 0.64),P<0.000 1］, but the effect of high-dose EPO（≥1 000 U/kg） treatment showed no difference between treatment group and control group(P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the incidence of cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, visual impairment and other neurodevelopmental disorders in the EPO group were not statistically different(P>0.05). EPO could reduce the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage（Ⅲ/Ⅳ） and periventricular leukomalacia, without increasing the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy in prematurity（≥Ⅲ）.ConclusionLow-dose EPO treatment at an early stage can improve the neurodevelopmental outcomes of premature infants and is safe, but the effect of high-dose EPO needs further study.Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.

Professor Zheng Jian's treatment for primary nephrotic syndrome in children based on "kidney governing deficiency YANG Lan, ZHUANG Xiangli, YAN Shuiping, ZHENG Jian 2022, 14 (4):  361-364.  Abstract ( 80 )   PDF (615KB) ( 60 )   Save Primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS) is one of the common renal diseases in children. There are many deficiencies and drawbacks in traditional western medicine treatment. In recent years, the treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine has achieved fruitful results. The author analyzes and summarizes Prof. Zheng Jian's experience in the treatment of PNS in order to provide ideas for the clinical treatment of children with nephropathy. Since Qian Yi of Song Dynasty put forward the idea of "kidney governing deficiency, no excess", the style of kidney without excess has prevailed among generations of physicians. However, the kidney excess has long been recorded in ancient medical books，which are discussed in the works such as Inner Canon of Huangdi, Synopsis of Golder Chamber and Maijing. Professor Zheng Jian believes that Qian's views can be interpreted as "kidneys usually govern deficiency, and there is also excess". Based on this thought, Prof. Zheng concludes that the pathogenesis of pediatric PNS in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly based on kidney deficiency, but in the course of the disease, there may also be symptoms caused by wind pathogens, blood stasis, damp-heat and other pathogens. The disease often has the characteristics of deficiency in root and excess in appearance, mixed deficiency with excess, repeated occurrence, protraction and difficulty in healing,etc.; therefore,in the clinical diagnosis, it is necessary to distinguish between the primary and secondary and between deficiency and excess of kidney disease according to the course of the disease. In the treatment, while dealing with the kidney deficiency, it's necessary to eliminate wind, remove dampness, clear heat and remove blood stasis, etc., which can benefit the lungs, strengthen the spleen, warm the kidneys, clear the liver, strengthen the body and reduce turbidity to regulate the yin and yang of various internal organs. Professor Zheng has been a doctor for more than 30 years, and he has been using this method in the treatment of children with PNS, which has great effects.
