Objective To characterize the clinical features and assess the role of surgery in posterior cortex epilepsy. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data was performed in 43 patients with posterior cortex epilepsy. The diagnosis Was established by means of a standard presurgical evaluation, including ictal semiology, MRI, interictal and ictal scalp video-EEG, and additional intracranial EEG monitoring in selected cases. Results The 43 patients included 11 parietal lobe epilepsy, 13 occipital lobe epilepsy, and 19 patients with seizures originating from other part of posterior cortex. Thirty-three patients (76.7%)experienced at least one type of aura, such as visual aura, somatosensory aura, dizziness and so on. The common ictal manifestations included deviation, automatisms, tonic posture and so on. Intracranial EEG monitoring was preformed in 22 selected cases. Transient contralateral hemiparesis occurred in 2 patients, mixed aphasia in 1 patient, and they recovered in 3 weeks after surgery. Visual and visual field deficits were observed in 5 patients, and they did not fully recovered. All patients were followed-up 1 to 5 years, and 27(62.8%)became seizure free (Engel' S I class). Conclusions Some of the specific auras or ictal manifestations may indicate posterior cortex epilepsy. Favorable surgical outcome has been achieved in many of the patients.

To compare the differences between Hengshanhuangqi (HH) and Chuanhuangqi (CH) at molecular level, 1H NMR based plant metabolomics approach was used to reveal the chemical difference between HH and CH. Then, the contents of astragaloside IV and calycosin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, the marker compounds specified in China Pharmacopoeia, were determined. In addition, the ITS2 fragments of HH and CH were sequenced. Twenty-three metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectrum, and the principal component analysis showed CH and HH could be separated clearly. HH contained more aspartic acid, GABA, citric acid, astragaloside IV and calycosin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, while CH contained more threonine, alanine, acetic acid, choline, arginine, fructose and sucrose. And the astragaloside IV is almost undetectable in CH. In addition, the ITS2 fragment sequences of HH and CH were different at eight bases. Thus, the HH and CH showed significant differences chemically and genetically.

Objective To reveal the influential factors on scalp electroencephalogram (EEG)recording and provide valuable information for localization of the epileptic focus by analyzing the characteristics of spikes with continuous focal periodic discharges on scalp and cortical EEG. Methods Five patients with refractory epilepsy who had low amplitude spikes with continuous focal periodic discharges on interictal scalp EEG were studied. Intracranial EEG recording was also performed in patients. The amplitudes of spikes and cortical areas of spike-wave foci were measured by DaVinci system. Patterns of continuous periodic activity were determined by autocorrelograms,power spectral density and coherence analysis using Matlab and Spike2 software.T-test was employed to compare the mean amplitudes of spikes on the scalp and cortical EEG.Results The amplitudes of spikes recorded on scalp EEG of the 5 patients were:(22.2±4.8),(30.4±7.1),(20.7±3.2),(58.4±10.1),(23.4±3.9) μV.The amplitudes of spikes recorded on cortical EEG of the 5 patients were:(1253.8 ± 199.3),(806.5 ± 161.4),( 1585.7 ±305.7),(922.5 ± 140.6),(736.8 ±70.9) μV.The amplitudes of spikes on scalp EEG were significantly higher than those on cortical EEG ( t =6.394,P < 0.05 ).The cortical areas of spike-wave foci of the 5 patients were:4.0,6.0,3.5,5.5,6.5 cm2.Power spectral density and autocorrelugrams showed 1-3 Hz oscillations on the cortical of spike-wave foci. Cross-correlation and coherence analysis showed synchronization of electrical activity in two contacts of intracranial electrodes. Conclusion The low amplitude spikes with continuous focal periodic discharges on interictal scalp EEG provide valuable information for localization of the epileptic focus.
