Epilepsy is a kind of brain dysfunction syndrome characterized by paroxysmal,transient,repetitive and rigid characteristics caused by abnormal discharge of highly synchronized neurons in the brain.Epilepsy is often accompanied by cognitive dysfunction.At present,anti-seizure medications are the most important methods of clinical treatment.Most of the traditional anti-seizure medications can cause cognitive dysfunction,and the influence of new anti-seizure medications on cognitive function is not completely clear.This paper reviews the influence of new anti-seizure medications on cognitive function and the possible related mechanisms of action based on relevant literature at home and abroad.It is expected that clinicians should pay attention to cognitive function in the process of diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy,and help clinicians realize the influence of anti-seizure medications on cognitive function,and rationally choose anti-seizure medications for patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the action mechanism of Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang on the treatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. MethodTraditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), GeneCards, DisGeNET, and Herb databases were combined with clinical data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to screen the key targets of Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang in the treatment of ALI. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to screen the core targets, and gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed. The mouse ALI model was established by LPS induction to verify the effect and key targets of Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang on the treatment of ALI. The expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear transcription factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65), and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (NF-κB p-p65) in lung tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultThe analysis showed that the treatment of ALI with Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang was related to 10 core targets such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and JUN, involving TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, etc. The animal experimental results show that Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang can reduce lung injury, improve the pathological state of ALI mice, significantly reduce the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum, increase the activity of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and catalase (CAT) in lung tissue, and reduce the expression levels of JUN, TLR4, NF-κB p65, and NF-κB p-p65 proteins in lung tissue. ConclusionLinggan Wuwei Jiangxintang can inhibit LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative damage in ALI mice, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and the reduction of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IL-6.

【Objective:】 To study the application and effect of peer education mode in the nursing of patients with urinary tumor, and explore the ways to improve the quality of clinical care and the humanistic significance of this mode in clinical nursing. 【Methods:】 84 patients with urological tumors who received surgical treatment in urology department of a third-class hospital from March 2021 to December 2021 were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group, with 42 patients in each group. The subjects in control group adopted routine intervention mode.The subjects in experimental group integrated the peer education program into the routine nursing mode.SAS and SDS scales were used to evaluate patients’ state of anxiety and depression, and the degree of nursing satisfaction. 【Results:】 The scores of SAS and SDS in the experimental group were significantly lower than that of the experimental group before intervention and the control group after intervention (P<0.05).The number of very satisfied, moderately satisfied and dissatisfied cases in the control group was 12, 29 and 1 respectively, and in the experimental group was 19, 23 and 0 respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). 【Conclusion:】 Adopting peer education with humanistic care significance can effectively alleviate patients’ preoperative anxiety, depression and other adverse mental state, reduce preoperative stress, and provide a new way for nursing quality.
