Objective: To investigate the effects of cefixime on the systemic inflammatory stress response and intestinal mucosal barrier injury in children with infective enteritis. Methods: A total of 80 children with infective enteritis who were treated in the hospital between March 2016 and August 2017 were divided into group A (n=40) and group B (n=40) according to the random number table method. Group A received cefaclor anti-infective therapy, group B received cefixime therapy, and both therapies lasted for 1 week. The differences in serum levels of inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress indexes and intestinal mucosal injury markers were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: Before treatment, the differences in serum levels of inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress indexes and intestinal mucosal injury markers were not statistically significant. After 1 week of treatment, serum inflammatory mediators IL-8 and TNF-α levels of group B were lower than those of group A whereas IL-10 level was higher than that of group A; serum oxidative stress indexes ROS and MDA levels were lower than those of group A whereas GSH-Px and CAT levels were higher than those of group A; serum intestinal mucosal injury markers DAO, D-Lactate, FABP and GST levels were lower than those of group A. Conclusion: Cefixime anti-infective therapy can effectively inhibit the inflammatory stress response and reduce the intestinal mucosal barrier injury in children with infective enteritis. |
