To investigate the promoting effect of extracellular vesicles derived from myocardial cells (CM-EVs) on the reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) into cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs) and their therapeutic effect on myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Cell experiments: The differential adhesion method was used to obtain Sprague Dawley (SD) suckling rat CFs and cardiomyocytes (CMs), while the ultracentrifugation method was used to obtain CM-EVs. Transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking technology were used to analyze and determine the morphology and particle size of CM-EVs.

Anti-epileptic Drugs Use and Increased Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review.

Ann Neurosci

January 2024

Maharajgunj Medical Campus, Tribhuvan University, Institute of Medicine, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), the predominant treatment for epilepsy, are also utilised for migraine, neuropathic pain, and bipolar disorders, accounting for 1% of usage among the common population. There is a greater risk of stroke, heart attack, and arrhythmia among AED users particularly those with enzyme-inducing properties. This systematic review aimed to look into the ischemic stroke risk among AED users, particularly in patients who had never had a cerebrovascular accident before.

UGT2B10 is the Major UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 2B Isoform Involved in the Metabolism of Lamotrigine and is Implicated in the Drug-Drug Interaction with Valproic Acid.

Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics and Metabolism, Pfizer Research and Development, Pfizer Inc., 445 Eastern Point Rd, Groton, CT, 06340, USA.

Lamotrigine is a phenyltriazine anticonvulsant that is primarily metabolized by phase II UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) to a quaternary N2-glucuronide, which accounts for ~ 90% of the excreted dose in humans. While there is consensus that UGT1A4 plays a predominant role in the formation of the N2-glucuronide, there is compelling evidence in the literature to suggest that the metabolism of lamotrigine is catalyzed by another UGT isoform. However, the exact identity of the UGT isoform that contribute to the formation of this glucuronide remains uncertain.
