ObjectiveTo analyze the potential risk factors for relapse and development of epilepsy in patients with benign in-fantile convulsions associated with mild gastroenteritis (BICE).MethodsA total of 264 cases of BICE were recruited. Accord-ing to the frequency of convulsions, the patients were divided into single group (n=134, convulsion once), and multiple group (n=130, convulsions≥2 times). According to convulsion duration, the patients were divided into short-term group (n=186, con-vulsions duration <5 minutes) , and long-term group (n=78, convulsion duration≥5 minutes). The clinical data obtained during hospitalization and follow-up were analyzed.ResultsIn multiple group, 9.23% were relapsed and 6.15% developed epilepsy. In single group, 2.99% were relapsed and 0.75% developed epilepsy. There were signiifcantly different in the rate of relapses and development of epilepsy between two groups (P<0.05). In the long-term group, 12.82% were relapsed and 8.97% developed epi-lepsy. In the short-term group, 3.23% were relapsed and 1.08% developed epilepsy. There were signiifcantly different in the rate of relapses and development of epilepsy between the two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionsThere are the risks of relapse and development of epilepsy in BICE patients. Convulsions≥ 2 times and≥5 minutes may be the risk factors of relapse and devel-opment of epilepsy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of oral compound carbohydrate drinks before operation on the postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function in the patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic operation.Methods Ninety American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic operation under general anesthesia,were divided into 3 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table method:routine fasting and water deprivation group (group C),preoperative intravenous infusion of glucose group (group Ⅴ),and oral compound carbohydrate drinks group (group O).In group Ⅴ,5％ glucose solution 8 ml/kg was intravenously injected over 30 min starting from 3 h before operation.In group O,compound carbohydrate drinks 355 ml was given orally within 30 min starting from 3 h before operation.The occurrence of reflux or aspiration,recovery time of bowel sounds and time of passing flatus/defecating time were recorded.The occurrence of nausea,vomiting and bloating was recorded within 48 h after operation.The levels of plasma motilin (MTL) and serum gastrin (GAS) were determined using radioimmunoassay at 6 h before and after operation.The area of gastric antrum was measured before anesthesia induction.Anxiety was assessed using Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) at 1 h before operation and 4 and 24 h after operation.Results No patients developed reflux or aspiration.Compared with group C,the recovery time of bowel sounds and time of passing flatus/defecating time were significantly shortened,the incidence of nausea,vomiting and bloating was decreased,the levels of plasma MTL and serum GAS were increased at 6 h after operation,and SAS scores were decreased at 4 and 24 h after operation in group O,and SAS scores were significantly decreased at 1 h before operation (P＜0.05),and no significant changes were observed in the other indexes in group Ⅴ (P＞0.05).Compared with group Ⅴ,the recovery time of bowel sounds and time of passing flatus/defecating time were significantly shortened,the incidence of nausea,vomiting and bloating was decreased,the levels of plasma MTL and serum GAS were increased at 6 h after operation,and SAS scores were decreased at 1 h before operation and 4 and 24 h after operation in group O (P＜0.05).Conclusion Oral compound carbohydrate drinks 355 ml at 3 h before operation can promote the postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function without increasing the risk of reflux or aspiration in the patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic operation.
