Objective: To investigate the clinical outcomes and safety of surgery in infants (< 12 months of age) with drug-resistant epilepsy, clarify surgical indications, and select appropriate surgical methods.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of infants with drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent epilepsy surgery and were followed up for > 6 months at the Epilepsy Center of Shenzhen Children's Hospital. Clinical data included etiology, seizure type, surgical procedure, preoperative auxiliary examinations, pathological findings, and intraoperative and postoperative complications.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic neuroinflammation is linked to the death of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease, and ginsenoside Rg1 from ginseng shows potential for neuroprotection.
- Research indicates that Rg1 can improve behavior in rat models and reduce the loss of important neurons while decreasing harmful inflammatory markers after inducing inflammation with LPS.
- The protective effects of Rg1 may involve the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling pathway, as its efficacy can be diminished by a GR antagonist.
