    Lamotrigine (LTG) which has a widespread use in epilepsy treatment as an antiepileptic agent is metabolized by UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) enzymes. In this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms, P24T and L48V, of the UGT1A4 enzyme have been investigated in a Turkish population of patients with epilepsy (n=131) by comparing serum levels of LTG of wild type and polymorphic subjects. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure serum concentrations of LTG. The P24T and L48V polymorphisms of the UGT1A4 enzyme were analyzed with a matrix assisted laser desorption-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry method. The frequencies of the heterozygous alleles for L48V or P24T polymorphisms were 22.4% and 3.8%, respectively. L48V polymorphism was found to decrease the serum concentration of LTG in patients on monotherapy or polytherapy. The LTG levels of non smoking monotherapy patients were 52% lower for the L48V polymorphism than for wild type alleles. Also the LTG levels were significantly lower for non smoking or smoking polymorphic alleles than for normal. The high frequency of the L48V polymorphism detected in the Turkish population indicates that LTG dose adjustments in patients with the UGT1A4 L48V polymorphic enzyme should be taken into account.

    Background/aim: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can impact patient safety. Occurrence of clinically important DDIs is higher for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. This observational study aimed to evaluate the potential DDIs in medical ICU patients of a university hospital. Materials and methods: The Medical Pharmacology Department organized consultation reports for ICU patients in order to detect the DDIs. To focus on clinically important DDIs, interactions in the C, D, or X risk rating categories of the Lexi-Interact online database were analyzed. Frequency and clinical risk rating categories of DDIs were detected. Relationship between number of prescriptions and DDIs were assessed. The most frequent drug/drug groups were identified. Results: Of 101 ICU patients, 45.5% were found to have DDIs. We detected 125 C (72.2%), 37 D (21.4%), and 11 X (6.4%) risk category interactions. A statistically significant increase in the number of DDIs was shown with the number of prescriptions (P = 0.002). The most frequent DDIs were between agents acting on the cardiovascular system and corticosteroids (12.8%). Conclusion: Results of this study show that pharmacological consultation plays a critical role in the recognition of DDIs for improvement of medication management and effective therapeutic endpoints without any adverse or toxic reactions.

    Topographical connections of the substantia nigra pars reticulata to higher-order thalamic nuclei in the rat
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2012) ONAT, FİLİZ; Gulcebi, Medine Idrizoglu; Ketenci, Sema; Linke, Rudiger; Hacioglu, Husniye; Yanali, Hasan; Veliskova, Jana; Moshe, Solomon L.; Onata, Filiz; Cavdar, Safiye
    The substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNR) is the ventral subdivision of the substantia nigra and contains mostly GABAergic neurons. The present study explores whether the SNR relates to all dorsal thalamic nuclei equally or just to a particular group of nuclei, such as first or higher-order nuclei. Injections of biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) were made into the SNR of 10 male adult rats. The distribution of anterogradely labelled axon terminals in the thalamic nuclei was documented. The projections of the SNR to the thalamic nuclei were exclusively to some motor higher-order, but not to first-order thalamic relays. There were bilateral projections to the ventromedial (VM), parafascicular (PF), centromedian (CM) and paracentral (PC) nuclei and unilateral projections to the centrolateral (CL), mediodorsal (MD) and thalamic reticular nucleus (Rt). Labelled axon terminals in the thalamic nuclei ranged from numerous to sparse in VM, PF, CM, CL, PC, MD and Rt. Further, injections into the SNR along its rostral-caudal axis showed specific topographical connections with the thalamic nuclei. The rostral SNR injections showed labelled axon terminals of VM, PF, CL, PC, CM, MD and Rt. Caudal SNR injections showed labelling of VM, PF, PC, CM and MD. All injections showed labelled axons and terminals in the zona incerta. The nigrothalamic GABAergic neurons can be regarded as an important system for the regulation of motor activities. The SNR is in a position to influence large areas of the neocortex by modulating some of the motor higher-order thalamic nuclei directly or indirectly via Rt. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

    Changes in intracellular protein expression in cortex., thalamus and hippocampus in a genetic rat model of absence epilepsy

    Epilepsy is a chronic disorder characterized by repeated seizures resulting from abnormal activation of neurons in the brain. Although mutations in genes related to Na+, K+, Ca2+ channels have been defined, few studies show intracellular protein changes. We have used proteomics to investigate the expression of soluble proteins in a genetic rat model of absence epilepsy Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS). The advantage of this technique is its high throughput quantitative and qualitative detection of all proteins with their post-translational modifications at a given time. The parietal cortex and thalamus, which are the regions responsible for the generation of absence seizures, and the hippocampus, which is not involved in this activity, were dissected from GAERS and from non-epileptic control rat brains. Proteins from each tissue sample were isolated and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Spots that showed significantly different levels of expression between controls and GAERS were identified by nano LC-ESI-MS/MS. Identified proteins were: ATP synthase subunit delta and the 14-3-3 zeta isoform in parietal cortex; myelin basic protein and macrophage migration inhibitory factor in thalamus; and macrophage migration inhibitory factor and 0-beta 2 globulin in hippocampus. All protein expressions were up-regulated in GAERS except 0-beta globulin. These soluble proteins are related to energy generation, signal transduction, inflammatory processes and membrane conductance. These results indicate that not only membrane proteins but also cytoplasmic proteins may take place in the pathophysiology and can be therapeutic targets in absence epilepsy. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

    Climate change is with us. As professionals who place value on evidence-based practice, climate change is something we cannot ignore. The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has demonstrated how global crises can arise suddenly and have a significant impact on public health. Global warming, a chronic process punctuated by acute episodes of extreme weather events, is an insidious global health crisis needing at least as much attention. Many neurological diseases are complex chronic conditions influenced at many levels by changes in the environment. This review aimed to collate and evaluate reports from clinical and basic science about the relationship between climate change and epilepsy. The keywords climate change, seasonal variation, temperature, humidity, thermoregulation, biorhythm, gene, circadian rhythm, heat, and weather were used to search the published evidence. A number of climatic variables are associated with increased seizure frequency in people with epilepsy. Climate change-induced increase in seizure precipitants such as fevers, stress, and sleep deprivation (e.g. as a result of more frequent extreme weather events) or vector-borne infections may trigger or exacerbate seizures, lead to deterioration of seizure control, and affect neurological, cerebrovascular, or cardiovascular comorbidities and risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Risks are likely to be modified by many factors, ranging from individual genetic variation and temperature-dependent channel function, to housing quality and global supply chains. According to the results of the limited number of experimental studies with animal models of seizures or epilepsy, different seizure types appear to have distinct susceptibility to seasonal influences. Increased body temperature, whether in the context of fever or not, has a critical role in seizure threshold and seizure-related brain damage. Links between climate change and epilepsy are likely to be multifactorial, complex, and often indirect, which makes predictions difficult. We need more data on possible climate-driven altered risks for seizures, epilepsy, and epileptogenesis, to identify underlying mechanisms at systems, cellular, and molecular levels for better understanding of the impact of climate change on epilepsy. Further focussed data would help us to develop evidence for mitigation methods to do more to protect people with epilepsy from the effects of climate change. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc.
