Results: 1458 children completed the study, in which 726 children received Chinese patent medicine “Er Xie Ting” and 732 received
smectite powder.31 children (2.1%) were excluded from clinical trial. Both groups were similar in age distribution, gender, weight, duration of diarrhea, degree of dehydration, rotavirus infection rate (P > 0.05). After three-day and seven-day therapy, cure rates and total efficacy rates of the treatment group were 44.2%, 94.1%, 88.8%, 97.9% separately and higher than those of control group (39.3%, 88.4%, 83.9%, 97.4%)(Z = 3.2, P < 0.01). There were 520 children with rotavirus infection and in which 266 cases received Chinese patent medicine “Er Xie Ting” and 254 received smectite powder. ATM/ATR activation For rotavirus enteritis, cure rates and total efficacy rates of the treatment group after three-day and seven-day
therapy were 40.6%, 95.1%, 89.9%, 98.9% separately and higher than those of control group 26.4%, 86.2%, 78.8%, 96.8% (Z = 4.8, P < 0.01). The lower limits of the 95% confidence interval of difference of cure rate and total efficacy rates after three-day and seven-day therapy between two groups were −0.16%, 2.81%, 1.38%, −1.05%. For rotavirus enteritis, the lower limits of the 95% confidence interval were 6.21%, 5.69%, 4.91%, 0.47%. All of the lower limits were less than 10%. No obvious drug related adverse reactions were found
during the study. Conclusion: Chinese patent Hydroxychloroquine medicine “Er Xie Ting” has the same effect for treatment of acute diarrhea and rotavirus MCE公司 enteritis in children. No obvious drug related adverse reactions was found. Key Word(s): 1. Diarrhea, Infantile; 2. Efficacy; 3. Children; Presenting Author: HANAAHASAN BANJAR Additional Authors: Corresponding Author: HANAAHASAN BANJAR Affiliations: King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Reseach center Objective: CF has been reported before in Saudi Arabia, but updated nutritional data is insufficient. In this report we discuss the detailed nutritional data of CF patients in a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia form the period 1995–2011. Methods: A retrospective chart review of all confirmed CF patients in relation to their weight and height and their growth progress over the period of follow-up. Correlation of the Cystic fibrosis transmebrane regulator gene mutation (CFTR) to their nutritional status. Results: of 317 CF patients diagnosed, 85% are alive, and 15% have died. Age at diagnosis is 0.1 ± 4, and age at follow-up is 18 ± 4. Median survival of 22 years. Seventy five (75%) of the patients their weight for height were at the mild to svere malnutrition stage and 73% have stunted growth. Nutritional intervention with oral feeding and high caloric intake improved their Z-score in the first 6 month, but plateaued thereafter.
