BACKGROUND Influenza-associated acute necrotizing encephalopathy (IANE) can be lethal and disabling and have a sudden onset and deteriorate rapidly but lacks early diagnostic indicators. We aimed to examine the early clinical diagnostic indicators in children with IANE. MATERIAL AND METHODS Acute influenza patients were grouped according to their clinical manifestations: flu alone (FA), flu with febrile seizure (FS), influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE), and IANE.

- Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are linked to oxidative damage and accumulate in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), potentially impacting intestinal calcium transport and leading to osteoporosis.
- In a study using normal rats, AOPPs decreased the expression of key calcium transport channels in the intestine without significantly altering calcium levels in the serum, while hormones regulating calcium absorption showed increased levels.
- The research demonstrated that AOPPs down-regulate calcium transport channels through p44/42 MAPK signaling pathways, suggesting a mechanism for the osteoporosis associated with IBD.
