Background: This study aimed to determine the main active ingredients of the Ginseng-Gegen (Panax Ginseng-Radix Puerariae) drug pair, to predict relevant action targets, and to establish a network of "drug-active ingredients-targets", to ultimately explore the mechanism of Ginseng-Gegen in the treatment of mesenteric lymphadenitis.
Methods: The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) platform was used to screen the chemical constituents of Ginseng-Gegen, and the active ingredient targets were retrieved by UniProt database. The databases of GeneCards and the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) were applied to search for mesenteric lymphadenitis-related targets. Cytoscape software was used to construct the network of active ingredient-action targets. The biological functions of the targets were analyzed in the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) database.
Results: A total of 26 potential active ingredients of the Ginseng-Gegen drug pair were screened, with 128 drug-related targets and 255 mesenteric lymphadenitis-related targets. After matching, 23 potential targets were obtained for treating mesenteric lymphadenitis. Among them, (puerarin), (ginsenoside Rh2), and (beta-sitosterol) were linked to 3 or more key target genes. They were supposed to be important ingredients of Ginseng-Gegen in the treatment of mesenteric lymphadenitis.
Conclusions: Ginseng-Gegen is related to oxidative stress and inflammation, and it is a part of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, and the advanced glycation end products/receptor for advanced glycation end products (AGE-RAGE) signaling pathway. These biological processes and signaling pathways may be potential mechanisms of Ginseng-Gegen for treating mesenteric lymphadenitis.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis with hemorrhagic ascites: a case report.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is an inflammatory disease characterized by a significant increase in eosinophils. EGE itself is rare, and cases with clinical manifestations of hemorrhagic ascites are even rarer, which undoubtedly increases the risk of misdiagnosis. Given this, this study reports a rare case of pediatric EGE presenting with paroxysmal abdominal pain without apparent cause, accompanied by acute tonsillitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis, suggesting a possible intestinal infection.

: Anti PD1/PD-L1 agents, including pembrolizumab, have revolutionized the oncological treatment of different types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer. The most frequent complications associated with this type of treatment are mild and are located at the thyroid, pulmonary or hepatic level. Sarcoid like reaction and mesenteric panniculitis secondary to pembrolizumab treatment are two very rare adverse effects.

Introduction: Acute appendicitis (AA) is a prevalent cause of abdominal pain, and accurate diagnosis is critical to prevent complications such as perforation. While ultrasound (USG) is often the first imaging modality, its limitations necessitate alternative approaches, particularly in cases where USG results are negative.
Objectives And Aims: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in identifying appendicitis in patients presenting with negative USG findings.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines cases of bovine abortions in South Korea caused by an opportunistic bacterium, focusing on its pathological findings, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic traits.
- Three bovine abortion cases revealed severe lung issues and other infections, with bacterium detected in all affected fetuses; two were attributed solely to the bacterium, while one was associated with a viral coinfection.
- This marks the first report of such abortions linked to this bacterium in South Korea, highlighting the need for ongoing research to understand its characteristics and resistance patterns.

Background: Mesenteric lymphadenitis (ML) demonstrates a distinctive inclination for the pediatric and adolescent demographic and the diagnosis of ML in young children poses a substantial challenge.
Objective: This prospective study aimed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) and Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging quantification (VTIQ) in distinguishing pediatric mesenteric lymphadentitis.
Methods: We examined 82 mesentric lymph node (MLN) in pediatric patients with mesenteric lymphadentitis and 50 MLN in a healthy group.
