Integrated bioinformatics and validation to construct lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network in status epilepticus.

Background: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurologic emergency with characteristic of prolonged seizure activity. However, the investigation of lncRNA based competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) network in SE still requires further elucidation. This study aims to construct the ceRNA network and uncover the related mechanism in SE.

The Impact of Volume Factor on the Long-Term Outcome of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Sporadic Cerebral Cavernous Malformations.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for the treatment of sporadic cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), especially the influence of lesion volume on annual hemorrhage rate (AHR) of patients with CCM after GKRS.

Methods: Fifty-one single-lesion patients with a history of hemorrhage who underwent radiosurgery at our institution were included and divided into 2 groups (A and B), based on their lesion volume. Group A included 25 patients with lesion volumes >1 cm, whereas group B included 26 patients with lesion volumes ≤1 cm.

LncRNA TUG1 inhibits neuronal apoptosis in status epilepticus rats via targeting the miR-421/mTOR axis.

Status epilepticus (SE) induces apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. However, the underlying mechanism in SE is not fully understood. Recently, lncRNA TUG1 is reported as a significant mediator in neuronal development.
