Objective:To investigate the association between serum zinc levels and convulsive brain injury in infants with mild gastroenteritis complicated with benign infantile seizures (BICE) and febrile seizures (FC).Methods:A case-control study method was conducted. 120 children with mild gastroenteritis and convulsion admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2020 to January 2022 were enrolled as the research subjects. They were divided into BICE group and FC group according to the type of convulsion. The serum zinc level, the frequency and duration of convulsion, and the occurrence of convulsive brain injury in the two groups were recorded. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors for convulsive brain injury. The Spearman correlation method was used to analyze the association between serum zinc levels, clinical characteristics of convulsion and convulsive brain injury.Results:A total of 120 children were enrolled, of which 81 developed to BICE and 39 developed to FC during hospitalization. The serum zinc level of children in the FC group was significantly lower than that in the BICE group (μmol/L: 39.24±6.50 vs. 48.65±7.21, P < 0.01). In the BICE group and FC group, the serum zinc level in children with more than 2 convulsions was significantly lower than that in the children with one convulsion (μmol/L: 37.65±6.50 vs. 53.17±7.55 in the BICE group, and 30.27±5.58 vs. 44.16±7.57 in the FC group, both P < 0.01). Serum zinc level in children with convulsion duration ≥5 minutes was significantly lower than that in the children with convulsion duration < 5 minutes (μmol/L: 38.75±6.74 vs. 51.21±7.58 in the BICE group, and 31.08±5.46 vs. 45.19±7.25 in the FC group, both P < 0.01). Moreover, the serum zinc level of children with different convulsion frequency and duration in the FC group was significantly lower than that in the BICE group (all P < 0.01). Among the 120 children, 9 cases of convulsive brain injury occurred, and the incidence rate was 7.50%. The incidence of convulsive brain injury in the BICE group was 1.23% (1/81), which was significantly lower than 20.51% in the FC group (8/39, P < 0.01). The serum zinc level of children with convulsive brain injury was significantly lower than that of children with non-brain injury (μmol/L: 28.50±5.00 vs. 60.22±7.31, P < 0.01), and the number of convulsion was significantly higher than that of non-cerebral injury (≥ 2 convulsions: 100.00% vs. 1.80%, P < 0.01), and the duration of convulsion in children with brain injury was significantly longer than that of non-brain-injured children (convulsion duration ≥5 minutes: 100.00% vs. 11.71%, P < 0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased serum zinc level [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.147, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.354-3.403], increased number of convulsion ( OR = 3.452, 95% CI was 1.266-9.417), and prolonged convulsion duration ( OR = 3.117, 95% CI was 1.326-7.327) were independent risk factor for convulsive brain injury in children with mild gastroenteritis and convulsion (all P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum zinc level, convulsion ≥2 times, duration of convulsion ≥5 minutes and convulsion ≥2 times + convulsion duration ≥5 minutes were significantly negatively correlated with the occurrence of convulsive brain injury in FC children ( r values were -0.546, -0.517, -0.522, and -0.528, all P < 0.01). There was no significant correlation between serum zinc level, convulsion ≥2 times, convulsion duration ≥5 minutes and convulsion ≥2 times+convulsion duration ≥5 minutes and convulsive brain injury in BICE children ( r values were -0.281, -0.129, -0.201, -0.243, all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Serum zinc level is related to the characteristics of convulsive symptoms in children with mild gastroenteritis complicated with FC, and has a strong negative correlation with the occurrence of convulsive brain injury. Active targeted intervention and treatment may help reduce the incidence of brain injury in children.

The persistent，difficult-to-treat，and recurrent abdominal pain，diarrhea，and mucinous bloody stools that characterize ulcerative colitis （UC） are indicative of an inflammatory bowel disorder. The cause of the sickness remains uncertain，and the outcome of modern medical treatment is not encouraging. The incidence of UC has been steadily increasing over time，making it essential to discover novel treatments in clinical practice. For centuries，traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has been a successful method for preventing and curing this malady. In the original text of Shanghanlun， ZHANG Zhongjing repeatedly discussed symptoms similar to UC，such as diarrhea，chronic dysentery，intestinal wind，and visceral toxins. The effective formulas proposed in Shanghanlun have laid the groundwork for the later use of TCM for treatment of UC. Research in recent times has revealed the distinct benefits of TCM in both relieving the symptoms and improving the quality of life of UC patients. Banxia Xiexintang，a compound of this type，has been found to be effective in network pharmacology，molecular docking，clinical observation，and animal experiments，and its therapeutic effects have been considerable in the treatment of UC. Extensive experiments have revealed a strong correlation between the effectiveness of Banxia Xiexintang in treating UC and factors such as inflammatory cytokines，intestinal microbiota，immune responses，related signaling pathways， and pyroptosis. This article presents a comprehensive examination of Banxia Xiexintang for treatment of UC，encompassing its theoretical basis，drug composition，and mechanism of action. This paper is expected to provide more theoretical support for clinical application of Banxia Xiexintang.

To explore the relationship between paediatric early warning score (PEWS) and the occurrence of mechanical ventilation complications in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
 Methods: A total of 110 children with ARDS diagnosed in First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University, who underwent mechanical ventilation, were selected. The baseline data, blood gas analysis index, laboratory test index, ventilator parameters, pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) and PEWS in the children were recorded. With reference to ventilatory treatment results, the children with ventilator-associated complications were included in the trial group (n=20), while the patients with good cohort status were included in the control group (n=40) according to the nested case-control study. Independent sample t-test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of complications after ventilatory treatment.
 Results: There were statistically significant differences in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), serum creatinine (SCr), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), mechanical ventilation time, mean article pressure (MAP), tidal volume (VT), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), PCIS, PEWS between the control group and the experimental group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MODS, PaO2/FiO2, PaCO2, VT, PEEP and PEWS had influence on complications after mechanical ventilation in children with ARDS (all P<0.05).
 Conclusion: The MODS, PaO2/FiO2, PaCO2, VT, PEEP, and PEWS exert effects on complications after mechanical ventilation in children with ARDS. PEWS combined with other indicators can assess the risk of complications in children with ARDS after mechanical ventilation.
