Pancreatic cancer remains a devastating disease with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%.Recent advances in diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches have increased the possibility of improving the existing poorprognosis.Recently,compounds from naturalsources receive ample attention as anti-cancer agents.Overwhelming in vitro evidence and clinical trials suggest that curcuminn,isothiocyanate,capsaicin,catechin may reduce the incidence of cancer.

Objective To observe the protective effect of pretreatment with wortmannin against pancreas and liver injuries indued by severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) in rats and investigate its mechanism.Methods Fifty-four SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group(C group),SAP group(P group) and SAP+wortmannin group(PW group)(n=18 per group). SAP model was induced by retrograde infusion of 50g/L sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct of rats,except C group in which sodium taurocholate was replaced by normal saline. Serum level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-?)、 alanine aminotransferase(ALT)、aspartate aminotransferase(AST)、and nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-?B)in liver were detected. Histopathology of liver and pancreas was studied.Results In P group, serum levels of TNF-?、ALT、AST and NF-?B in liver were significantly elevated(P

Sleep disorder, migraine, cognitive and behavioral disorders, anxiety and depression are common comorbidities of epilepsy. The comorbidity rate of epilepsy patients is eight times that of the general population, which affects the prognosis and quality of life of epilepsy patients. Perampanel (PER), as a third-generation antiseizure medication, has shown promising clinical research and application in the treatment of comorbidities in epilepsy. PER can improve the total sleep time, sleep latency and sleep efficiency of patients with epilepsy comorbid sleep disorder. PER also shows good efficacy in reducing seizure and migraine attacks of patients with epilepsy comorbid migraine. Meanwhile, the impact of PER on overall cognitive characteristics is neutral, with no systematic cognitive deterioration or improvement, but behavioral changes are one of the most common adverse events related to PER. For patients with comorbid anxiety and depression, PER does not exacerbate the anxiety and depression of epilepsy patients, and the severity of anxiety and depression in some patients will improve. This article will review the mechanism of action and clinical treatment research progress of PER on comorbidities of epilepsy.
