Previous studies have reported that calbindin D-28k (CB), a calcium-binding protein, containing neurons in the hippocampus play an important role in hippocampal excitability in epilepsy, because CB modulates the free calcium ion during seizure. Hence, in the present study, we investigated changes of CB expression in the hippocampus and its association in the Mongolian gerbil to identify roles of CB in epileptogenesis. CB immunoreactivity in the hippocampus was significantly lower in the pre-seizure group of seizure sensitive (SS) gerbils as compared with those seen in the seizure resistant (SR) gerbils. The distribution of CB immunoreactivity in the hippocampus showed significant difference after seizure on-set in SS gerbils. CB immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1, CA2 areas, and subiculum was lowest at 3h after seizure on-set; thereafter, the immunoreactivity became to increase to 12h after seizure on-set. Mossy fibers, Schaffer collaterals and dentate granule cells showed the highest CB immunoreactivity at 3h after seizure on-set; thereafter, the immunoreactivity became to decrease. In the case of the intrinsic and output connections of the hippocampus, a rapid decrease of CB serves an inhibitory function, which regulates the seizure activity and output signals from the hippocampus.

Background: Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate phosphatase/chronophin (PLPP/CIN) selectively dephosphorylates serine (S) 10 site on neurofibromin 2 (NF2, also known as merlin (moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein) or schwannomin). p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) is a serine/threonine protein kinase, which is involved in synaptic activity and plasticity in neurons. NF2 and PAK1 reciprocally regulate each other in a positive feedback manner.

To analyze the improvement of clinical symptoms and recovery of neurological function in adult Japanese encephalitis, and study the prognostic factors. Follow-up was conducted for 112 hospitalized patients with Japanese encephalitis (JE) in adults at the Department of Neurology of three hospitals in Gansu province from July to October 2016, from July to October 2017, 6 months and 1 year after onset, respectively. The neurological functional recovery was evaluated by modified Ranking Scale (mRS).

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-132 in the epileptogenesis.
Methods: Antagomir-132 (Ant-132) was used to silence the expression of miR-132 and non-targeting scrambled sequence (Scr) as a control. Rats were randomly divided into ant-132 group and Scr group in which rats were pretreated with An-132 and Scr, respectively, and then induced temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) by Li-Pilo.
