Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, affecting tens of millions of people around the world. Most of clinically used antiepileptic drugs are based on ion mechanism to antagonize epileptic seizures, targeted to various ion channels or ion channel receptors. However, with the in-depth research on the pathogenesis of epilepsy, the non-ionic antiepileptic mechanism has increasingly become the key to the control of various intractable epilepsy, and the relevant drugs have gradually achieved clinical transformation. In this paper, non-ionic antiepileptic mechanisms are classified to clinical and preclinical types according to whether clinical transformation has been achieved. The application of non-ionic antiepileptic drugs in refractory epilepsy was mainly introduced, including everolimus, cannabidiol, fenfluramine, padsevonil, medium chain triglyceride modified ketogenic diet, and anakinra. Additionally, some preclinical non-ionic antiepileptic mechanisms such as prostaglandin, adenosine, metabolic glutamate receptor and mitochondrial mechanism are briefly introduced. The authors believe that the current stage of ionic antiepileptic drugs research has reached the bottleneck of transformation and it is difficult to achieve a major breakthrough in the mechanism, but there are broader research prospects in non-ionic antiepileptic mechanisms because a large number of them have not yet been clinically transformed. From a deeper perspective, some non-ionic antiepileptic mechanisms may have been involved in the fundamental mechanism of epileptogenesis, and they may be the prospect for the future treatment of refractory epilepsy.

PurposeThere is a certain correlation between parameters of CT perfusion imaging and pathological type and angiogenesis in lung cancer, in order to discuss the value of CT perfusion imaging parameters such as blood volume (BV), blood flow (BF), time to peak (TTP) and peak enhancement image (PEI) for prognosis, this study is designed to observe the relationship between the parameters of CT perfusion imaging and micro lymphovascular density (MLVD) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Materials and Methods 100 patients were enrolled in the study, all of them underwent CT perfusion imaging and 60 were diagnosed NSCLC by pathology, immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the expressions of MLVD of the 60 NSCLC, and the correlation analyses were carried out to determine the relationship between CT perfusion imaging and MLVD.Results The expression of MLVD was the most in the peripheral tissue of cancer (25.16±1.28), the next in the cancer tissue (16.38±3.58), and the least in the normal lung tissue (7.56±4.38), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was positive correlation between MLVD with BF and BV of the tumor (r=0.643 and 0.598, P<0.01).Conclusion Some parameters of CT perfusion imaging are correlated with MLVD, the invasion and metastasis in lung carcinoma can be predicted to some extent according to this correlation. Parameters of CT perfusion imaging such as BF and BV are correlated with MLVD in patients with NSCLC, thus can be used to predict the invasion and metastasis of lung cancer.

OBJECTIVETo observe the anaphylaxis and hemocytolysis of 6 kinds of tween-80 injection from different source.

METHODThe Hartley albinism guinea pig was used to carry on the active systematic anaphylaxis (ASA) and the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). The in vitro hemolytic experiment and the hemocytolysis was observed by means of spectrophotometry on the domestic rabbit.

RESULTThe result of ASA and PLA of 6 kinds of tween-80 injection from different source assumed the negative. In observation time, the temolysis rate of 3 kinds of tween-80 injection are more than 5%, while the others are also more than 5% only in the highly concentrated test tube.

CONCLUSIONSix kinds of tween-80 injection from different source have not caused the immune-mediated anaphylaxis, but it may have hematolysis tendency on intravenous injection. The hemocytolysis of tween-80 may not be entirely caused by the impurities. It is worthy of further study that the physical and chemical properties of the product itself and the undeserved concentration is doubtful whether there is also some internal relations with the generation of hemolytic.

Objective To investigate the common initial clinical presentations of primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome (pSS) with pulmonary complications,and to explore the differences between patients with extraglandular manifestations at disease onset (EGM) and those with glandular manifestations at disease onset (GM).Methods A total of 1 341 hospitalized SS patients from 2003 to 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.Of them,102 hospitalized patients with pSS'associated lung disease were analyzed and included.Case control study was performed to explore the differences between the EGM group and the GM group.Results Fifty-one percent of patients were presented with EGM at onset,with significantly shorter disease duration [36 (12,156) m vs 102 (48,159) m,x2=-2.41,P=0.016].Although the mean diagnose time was similiar,only 4％ of the EGM group could be confirmed the pSS diagnose at onset,which was significantly less frequently than that of the GM group (34％,22=15.29,P＜0.01).Case control study revealed that hyperglobulinemia,elevated RF titers and anti-SSA and/or anti-SSB test positive were less predominant in the EGM group [IgG 16(12,21) g/L vs 21 (15,28) g/L,x2=-2.15,P=0.032;22 (20,171) U/ml vs 104 (20,238) U/ml,x2=-l.98,P=0.048;33％ vs 72％,x2=15.78,P＜0.01].The predicted value of TLC and FVC were lower [(87±23)％ vs (97±20)％,x2=-1.96,P=0.050;(8±28)％ vs (100±27)％,x2=-1.70,P=0.089] and HRCT score was higher in EMG group [12(88,15) vs 8(5,13),x2=-1.82,P=0.070].Conclusion EMG at onset is the common initial manifestation of pSS'associated lung involvement.Pulmonary complication is more progressively and severe than those with MG at onset.Anti'SSA positive,elevated RF titer and hyperglobulinemia are not predominant for patients with EMG at onset.

As a new beer fermentation technology, high temperature and high gravity fermentation has brought many benefits to brewery industry, but there are also a series of problems such as the decrease of yeast flocculation ability at the end of fermentation and the high concentration of higher alcohols. To increase yeast flocculation ability and reduce the production of higher alcohols in high temperature and high gravity fermentation of beer, BAT2 was replaced by the FLO5 expression cassette to obtain the mutant strain S6-BF2. Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the relative transcriptional level of FLO5 in S6-BF2 improved 17.8 times compared with that in S6. The flocculation ability of mutant S6-BF2 heightened by 63% compared to that of the original strain S6, and the concentration of higher alcohols decreased from 175.58 mg/L to 159.58 mg/L in high temperature and high gravity fermentation of beer. Moreover, the activity of mitochondrial branched-chain amino acid transferase was repressed, resulting in the production of higher alcohols of 142.13 mg/L, reduced by 18.4% compared to that of the original strain S6, meanwhile, the flocculation ability of mutant S6-BF2B1 kept unchanged compared to the mutant S6-BF2. The determination result of flavor compounds showed that the higher alcohols/ester ratio in beer was reasonable. This research has suggested an effective strategy for enhancing yeast flocculation ability and decreasing production of higher alcohols in high-temperature and high-gravity brewing.
