O 23: Anti-Inflammatory Treatment in Children with Refractory Seizure
Epilepsy is a neurological disease of the central nervous system. It is estimated that about 50-70 million people worldwide suffer from this chronic disorder and 20 to 30% are resistant to conventional anti-epileptic drugs. In the epilepsy therapeutic arena, there is real need for developing novel antiepileptogenesis treatments that offer a way to prevent the onset or the progression of the dis...
متن کاملCommon Variants of KCNJ10 Are Associated with Susceptibility and Anti-Epileptic Drug Resistance in Chinese Genetic Generalized Epilepsies
To explore genetic mechanism of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) is challenging because of their complex heritance pattern and genetic heterogeneity. KCNJ10 gene encodes Kir4.1 channels and plays a major role in modulating resting membrane potentials in excitable cells. It may cause GGEs if mutated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible association between KCNJ10 common...
متن کاملAbnormal Autoantibodies in Pediatric Refractory Epilepsies
The numerous etiologies of refractory epilepsy include congenital cortical malformations, cerebral ischemia, post-traumatic lesions, metabolic, vascular and systemic immune diseases. Abnormal antibodies have been found in association with different types of neurological diseases and syndromes, including epilepsies. However, their frequency in the pediatric epileptic population is unknown. This ...
متن کاملCortical involvement in focal epilepsies with epileptic spasms.
The pathophysiological mechanisms of epileptic spasms are still poorly understood. The role of subcortical structures has been suggested on the basis of non-localized EEG features and from experimental data. The description of asymmetric spasms associated with lateralized EEG patterns has challenged this view and raises the possibility of a cortical origin. This study investigated the cortical ...
متن کاملIgG leakage may contribute to neuronal dysfunction in drug-refractory epilepsies with blood-brain barrier disruption.
Focal epilepsies are often associated with blood-brain barrier disruption. In 4 entorhinal cortex tissue samples and 13 hippocampal samples from patients with pharmacoresistent temporal lobe epilepsy, we observed immunoglobulin G (IgG) leakage in the parenchyma and IgG-positive neurons that had evidence of neurodegeneration, such as shrinkage and eosinophilia. These findings were not present in...
