概括
上皮质激素 (ACTH) 和口服普得尼索隆是常见的西综合征 (WS) 治疗方法. 这项审查发现ACTH显著增加体重,但与皮质类固醇相比,停止或其他不良反应没有差异,突出显示需要更多研究.
科学领域:
- 儿童神经学
- 临床药理学
- 系统审查和元分析
背景情况:
- 韦斯特综合征 (WS) 是一种严重的婴儿,治疗选择有限.
- 肌内 adrenocorticotropic 激素 (ACTH) 和口服布雷迪尼索隆是标准的治疗方法.
- 关于ACTH与皮质类固醇治疗的有效性和安全性存在争议.
研究的目的:
- 在患有韦斯特综合征的儿童中进行ACTH与皮质类固醇治疗效果和不良反应的最新评估.
- 提供关于这些治疗方法的安全性和有效性的强有力的证据.
主要方法:
- 在PubMed,EMBASE和Cochrane中央数据库进行系统的文献搜索.
- 评估停止,低节律停止,体重增加,感染,易怒和高血压的研究的元分析.
- 使用风险比率 (RR) 和几率比率 (OR) 分析的数据具有95%的置信区间 (CI) 和随机效应模型.
主要成果:
- 与皮质类药物相比,ACTH治疗与体重显著增加有关 (RR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1. 01-1.97).
- 在第14天,ACTH和皮质类药物之间没有明显的差异 (OR: 0. 91; 95% CI: 0. 47- 1. 47).
- 对于低节律停止,易怒,高血压和感染率发现了类似的结果.
结论:
- 这项研究提供了证据支持ACTH和皮质激素在治疗韦斯特综合征的安全性和有效性.
- 在治疗决策中需要考虑ACTH与体重增加的相关性.
- 研究之间显著的异质性需要进一步的研究,以确定最佳的WS治疗方法.

01:27Adrenal Gland Disorders
1.8K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

Adrenergic agonists have diverse therapeutic uses across various medical conditions and emergencies.
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.

01:37Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis
61.6K
The response to stress—be it physical or psychological, acute or chronic—involves activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system because it involves both neuronal and hormonal communication. Its function is to regulate homeostatic systems—metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune—providing the necessary means to respond to a stressor.

Adrenal hormones play a pivotal role in maintaining the body's electrolyte balance and orchestrating responses to stress, showcasing the intricate functions of the adrenal cortex and medulla.
The adrenal cortex, a powerhouse of hormone synthesis, generates over two dozen corticosteroid hormones. The zona glomerulosa produces mineralocorticoids, exemplified by aldosterone, influencing the electrolyte composition of body fluids. The synthesis of glucocorticoids such as cortisol and...

01:25Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

201
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...
