OBJECTIVESTo study on the relationship between platelet Ca2+(i), CD62P, CD63, serum CD62P (SCD62P) and cirrhosis patients.
METHODSPlatelet CD62P, CD63 were determined with flow cytometry, SCD63P with ELISA, and Ca2+(i) in platelet was determined with fluorophotometry.
RESULTSPlatelet Ca2+(i), CD62P, CD63, and SCD62P levels in cirrhosis patients were (103.1+/-22.2)nmol/L, (47.6+/-20.0)%, (47.1+/-24.6)%, and (67.6+/-37.6)microg/L, and in controls were (57.6+/-13.1)nmol/L, (3.1+/-0.7)%, (2.5+/-0.7)%, and (24.0+/-6.5)microg/L, respectively. The levels in the former were higher than those in the latter (t > or = 6.148, P<0.05). The above levels in upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage group were much higher than those in the non-haemorrhage group (120.3nmol/L+/-18.8nmol/L vs 91.1nmol/L+/-14.3nmol/L, 64.9%+/-14.7% vs 34.6%+/- 11.9%, 70.9%+/-14.5% vs 30.2%+/-14.4%, and 103.6microg/L+/-14.9microg/L vs 40.8microg/L+/-24.0microg/L, respectively, t > or = 5.380, P<0.05). But the numbers of platelet between the two groups were no obvious difference.
CONCLUSIONSPlatelet in the cirrhosis patients is greatly active, and the detection of platelet CD62P, CD63, SCD62P has a certain value in judging the degree of cirrhosis.

OBJECTIVES:
To study the clinical features of children with febrile seizures after Omicron variant infection.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with febrile seizures after Omicron variant infection who were admitted to the Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, from December 1 to 31, 2022 (during the epidemic of Omicron variant; Omicron group), and the children with febrile seizures (without Omicron variant infection) who were admitted from December 1 to 31, in 2021 were included as the non-Omicron group. Clinical features were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
There were 381 children in the Omicron group (250 boys and 131 girls), with a mean age of (3.2±2.4) years. There were 112 children in the non-Omicron group (72 boys and 40 girls), with a mean age of (3.5±1.8) years. The number of children in the Omicron group was 3.4 times that in the non-Omicron group. The proportion of children in two age groups, aged 1 to <2 years and 6-10.83 years, in the Omicron group was higher than that in the non-Omicron group, while the proportion of children in two age groups, aged 4 to <5 years and 5 to <6 years, was lower in the Omicron group than that in the non-Omicron group (P<0.05).The Omicron group had a significantly higher proportion of children with cluster seizures and status convulsion than the non-Omicron group (P<0.05). Among the children with recurrence of febrile seizures, the proportion of children aged 6-10.83 years in the Omicron group was higher than that in the non-Omicron group, while the proportion of children aged 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years in the Omicron group was lower than that in the non-Omicron group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Children with febrile seizures after Omicron variant infection tend to have a wider age range, with an increase in the proportion of children with cluster seizures and status convulsion during the course of fever.
