癫痫发作后状态及其临床意义

癫痫发作后状态(PIS)是指癫痫发作停止到恢复至发病前水平的异常状态,包括认知、运动、感觉、自主神经和精神行为等异常,症状多样,严重程度不一,持续数秒至数天不等,对患者的健康和生活质量产生很大影响。然而,目前国内外相关的研究较少,临床医生对此缺乏正确认识,容易误诊误治。本文将从PIS的定义、病理生理机制、临床表现、诊断和鉴别诊断、临床意义以及干预策略等进行综述,以提高临床医生的认识,并为今后临床研究提供参考。     

基于网络药理学及分子对接技术研究人参-陈皮配伍治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病的作用机制＊

目的 研究人参-陈皮配伍治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）的主要活性成分和潜在的分子作用机制。方法 从TCMSP数据库中获取人参、陈皮的活性成分和潜在靶点，疾病靶点利用DrugBank、TTD、GeneCards数据库获取。“药物-化合物-靶点”互作网络可视化由Cytoscape3.6.1软件完成。通过绘制韦恩图得到人参、陈皮和COPD的共有靶点，运用Cytoscape平台获取共有靶点相互作用关系。通过DAVID数据库对共有靶点进行GO、KEGG富集分析。活性成分和关键靶点的分子对接由autodock vina实现，并采用体外抗炎活性实验进行验证。结果 从人参和陈皮中共筛选得到27个活性成分，800个疾病靶点，药物和疾病共有靶点70个。GO功能富集分析得到GO条目213个（P<0.01），KEGG通路富集筛选得到99条信号通路（P<0.01）。分子对接结果显示，甾醇类成分和黄酮类成分与关键靶点有较高的结合性。体外抗炎活性验证结果表明，川陈皮素、山奈酚、柚皮素、人参皂苷rh2能够减少炎症因子的分泌。结论 人参-陈皮配伍可通过多成分、多靶点和多通路调控炎症因子释放，达到治疗COPD的效果。     

Confounded association between proton pump inhibitor use and risk of biliary tract cancer: Result from three cohorts

Recent epidemiological studies suggested that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use was associated with an increased risk of biliary tract cancer (BTC), however, confounders were not adequately controlled. Our study aimed to evaluate PPI use and subsequent risk of BTC and its subtypes in three well-established cohorts. We conducted a pooled analysis of the subjects free of cancers in UK Biobank (n = 463 643), Nurses' Health Study (NHS, n = 80 235) and NHS II (n = 95 869). Propensity score weighted Cox models were used to estimate marginal HRs of PPIs use on BTC risk, accounting for potential confounders. We documented 284 BTC cases in UK Biobank (median follow-up: 7.6 years), and 91 cases in NHS and NHS II cohorts (median follow-up: 15.8 years). In UK biobank, PPI users had a 96% higher risk of BTC compared to nonusers in crude model (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.44-2.66), but the effect was attenuated to null after adjusting for potential confounders (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.60-1.49). PPI use was not associated with risk of BTC in the pooled analysis of three cohorts (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.60-1.43). We also observed no associations between PPI use with risk of intrahepatic (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.49-2.04), extrahepatic bile duct (HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.52-2.27) and gallbladder cancers (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.26-1.66) in UK Biobank. In summary, regular use of PPIs was not associated with the risk of BTC and its subtypes.
