Unique Behavioral Characteristics and microRNA Signatures in a Drug Resistant Epilepsy Model
BACKGROUND Pharmacoresistance is a major issue in the treatment of epilepsy. However, the mechanism underlying pharmacoresistance to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is still unclear, and few animal models have been established for studying drug resistant epilepsy (DRE). In our study, spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRSs) were investigated by video-EEG monitoring during the entire procedure. METHOD...
متن کاملCCL2 Polymorphism in Drug-Resistant and Drug-Responsive Patients with Epilepsy in Isfahan, Iran
ABSTRACT Background and objective: Approximately 50 million people worldwide (1% of the world's population) suffer from epilepsy. Among 700 thousand people with epilepsy in Iran, 20% have refractory epilepsy. Accumulation of leukocytes in patients' brain parenchyma is thought to be related to different types of epilepsy. Recent clinical observat...
متن کاملNeurostimulation as a Putative Method for Treatment of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy in Patient and Animal Models of Epilepsy
A patient with epilepsy was shown to have neurobiological, psychological, cognitive, and social issues as a result of recurring seizures, which is regarded to be a chronic brain disease.However, despite numerous drug treatments, approximately, 30–40% of all patients are resistant to antiepileptic drugs. Therefore, newer therapeutic modalities are introduced into clinical practice in which invol...
متن کاملAssociation between ABCB1-T1236C Polymorphism and Drug-Resistant Epilepsy in Iranian Female Patients
Background: One third of epileptic patients are resistant to several anti-epileptic drugs (AED). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter encoded by ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene that excludes drugs from the cells and plays a significant role in AEDs resistance. Over-expression of P-gp could be a result of polymorphisms in ABCB1 gene. We studied the association of...
متن کاملMicroRNA signatures from multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) infections, caused by multidrug‑resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR MTB), remain a significant public health concern worldwide. The regulatory mechanisms underlying the emergence of MDR MTB strains remain to be fully elucidated, and further investigation is required in order to develop better strategies for TB control. The present study investigated the expression profil...
