This study performed a meta-analysis to explore the clinical efficacy of creatine phosphate sodium (CPS) and/or vitamin C for viral myocarditis (VMC) in children, to provide guidance for its clinical treatment.. A literature search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases to obtain published clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CPS and/or vitamin C for VMC in children, with a time span from 2013 to 2022. Relevant data was extracted and meta-analysis was performed using the statistical software Stata 16.0.. A total of 723 studies were retrieved and 19 studies were finally included for meta-analysis, with a total of 1,957 patients. The meta-analysis results showed that the observation group (conventional treatment + CPS and/or vitamin C) was superior to the control group (conventional treatment alone) in treatment effective rate (OR = 3.60, 95% CI (2.55, 5.07), and. CPS and/or vitamin C treatment could greatly improve the treatment, protect myocardial function, and relieve inflammatory response in children with VMC.

This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ulinastatin combined with creatine phosphate sodium and ribavirin combined with creatine phosphate sodium in the treatment of pediatric viral myocarditis.. 155 children with viral myocarditis in the Xuzhou Children's Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. 80 of them received ulinastatin combined with creatine phosphate sodium, and were regarded as observation group; other 75 patients received ribavirin combined with creatine phosphate sodium and were regarded as the control group. The therapeutic efficacy of the two groups was observed, the improved condition of myocardial enzyme indicator and myocardial troponin I (cTn I) in the two groups were compared before and after the treatment.. The total effective rates of the patients in the observation group and the control group were 93.75% and 76.00%, respectively. The clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group (p<0.05). The electrocardiogram improvement condition of the observation group was better than that of the control group (p<0.05); after the treatment, the expression levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Creatine Kinase (CK-MB), and cTn I in the observation group were (313.37±9.42) U/L, (29.38±4.97) U/L, (23.67±2.89) U/L, (0.12±0.02) μg/L, respectively. The expression levels of LDH, AST, CK-MB, and cTn I in the control group were (322.43±12.32) U/L, (33.43±5.14) U/L, (26.22±3.37) U/L, (0.24±0.04) μg/L. The levels of myocardial enzyme and cTn I in the observation group and the control group after the treatment were lower than that before the treatment (p<0.05), while the level of myocardial enzyme and cTn I in the observation group after the treatment was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.05).. The results indicated that, compared with ribavirin combined with creatine phosphate sodium, ulinastatin combined with creatine phosphate sodium had better clinical efficacy in the treatment of pediatric viral myocarditis. It could significantly improve the level of myocardial enzyme indicator and cTn I, and had certain clinical and promotional values and application values.

A patient with prolonged post-viral exhaustion and excessive fatigue was examined by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance. During exercise, muscles of the forearm demonstrated abnormally early intracellular acidosis for the exercise performed. This was out of proportion to the associated changes in high-energy phosphates. This may represent excessive lactic acid formation resulting from a disorder of metabolic regulation. The metabolic abnormality in this patient could not have been demonstrated by traditional diagnostic techniques.
