Risk factors for secondary epilepsy in children with complex febrile seizures and their effect on growth and development-a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Complex febrile seizures are prolonged and can cause neurologic abnormalities, leading to secondary epilepsy and affecting growth and development. At present, the mechanism of secondary epilepsy in children with complex febrile seizures is not clear, and this study aimed to explore the risk factors for secondary epilepsy in children with complex febrile seizures and analyze its effects on the growth and development of children.

Methods: The data of 168 children with complex febrile seizures admitted to the Ganzhou Women and Children's Health Care Hospital between January 2018 and December 2019 were collected retrospectively and divided into a secondary epilepsy group (n=58) and control group (n=110) according to whether the children had secondary epilepsy or not.

Genomic Portrait of Guangdong Liannan Yao Population Based on 15 Autosomal STRs and 19 Y-STRs.

Here we studied the genetic polymorphism and evolutionary differentiation of the Guangdong Liannan Yao population based on 15 autosomal STR loci and 19 Y chromosomal STR loci. The blood card DNA of 302 unrelated individuals from the Yao Autonomous County of Liannan was directly amplified using an Expressmarker 16 + 19Y kit and genotyped using a 3500XL Genetic Analyzer. For the autosomal STR loci, the CPD value was over 0.
