Serological biomarkers, neuropsychiatric correlations and neuroimaging findings in epilepsy patientsChang, Chiung-Chih 14 May 2012 (has links)
Purpose: Excessive day time sleepiness, sleep disorders and neurobehavior changes are common clinical observations in the patients with epilepsy. From literature review, they were highly related with epilepsy risk characteristics (age of onset, types or numbers of drugs, seizure frequency), co-morbidities or neuronal network changes. The serological biomarkers have been reported to reflect the phenomenon of seizure, while their correlations with neurobehavior changes were still not concluded. There were two purposes of this thesis. (1) To understand the relationship between sleep disturbance with day time performances (2) To understand the relationships between serological biomarkers, neurobehavior performances and neuronal networks in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Material and Methods: The study enrolled patients from epilepsy outpatient clinic. By using self-appreciated questionnaire (The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, The Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Euroqol Quality of Life Scale-5D), we collected the characteristics of sleep related behavior and life quality changes and explored the relationship with epilepsy risk characteristics. In patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, we assessed the neurobehavior performances, measured the serological biomarkers (heat shock protein 70, S100£]protein, neuron specific enolase, brain derived neurotrophic factor, plasma and mitochondrial DNA) and brain magnetic resonance imaging. In statistical analysis, we compared the differences with age matched controls or performed correlation analysis among the parameters
Result: One hundred and seventeen patients with epilepsy completed the sleep quality questionnaires. The results showed that 20 percent of patients had day time sleepiness, while the sleep disorder was prolong sleep latency and impaired sleep efficiency. In epilepsy characteristics, patients with complex partial seizure, intractable seizure or with multi-pharmacy were related with poor sleep quality. A total of 34 patients completed the serological, neurobehavior and brain magnetic resonance analysis. The results showed that patients with temporal lobe epilepsy had higher heat shock protein 70 and S100£]protein levels, while those with attacks more than twice per month had significant higher heat shock protein 70, S100£]protein and neuron specific enolase levels. Compared with the matched controls, the regions showing atrophy included hippocampus and parahippocampus, putamen, thalamus and supplementary motor areas. In correlation study, only heat shock protein 70 showed an inverse correlation with hippocampal volume (R square = 0.22, p = 0.007) after controlling for the effect of age.
Conclusion: The study suggested that epilepsy risk characteristics, serological biomarkers, brain atrophic regions were important factors for day time sleepiness, sleep disturbances and neurobehavior changes in patients with epilepsy.

Trauma craniencefálico leve: avaliação tardia da qualidade de vida e alterações neuropsicológicas / Mild head trauma. Late evaluation of quality of life and neuropsychological changesLima, Daniela Paoli de Almeida 27 June 2007 (has links)
Trauma de crânio leve (TCE leve) é definido como um déficit neurológico transitório que ocorre após um trauma incluindo história de náuseas, vômitos, cefaléia ou tontura acompanhada de alteração ou perda da consciência com duração inferior a 15 minutos, amnésia pós traumática e Escala de Coma de Glasgow entre 13 e 15. Apesar da alta taxa de sobrevida, pode cursar com alguma morbidade, principalmente nos três primeiros meses posteriores ao trauma e cerca de 18 % dos pacientes desenvolvem pelo menos uma síndrome psiquiátrica no primeiro ano após o acidente. O diagnóstico ainda é um desafio no sentido de minimizar-se gastos desnecessários com exames subsidiários entretanto, intervenções precoces podem evitar seqüelas. Nosso objetivo foi verificar o impacto do TCE leve na qualidade de vida de suas vítimas e diagnosticar as várias alterações neuropsicológicas que podem advir deste trauma. Esses alterações podem ser verificadas através de instrumentos de pesquisa. Inicialmente, foram avaliadas cinqüenta vítimas com TCE leve, atendidas no Hospital João XXIII, em Belo Horizonte - MG, as quais foram submetidas a dosagem de proteína S100B e tomografia de crânio (TCC) na admissão. Nessa fase, verificou-se que a proteína S100B tem valor preditivo negativo de 100%. Dezoito meses após o trauma, esses pacientes foram procurados em suas residências, quando foi lhes solicitado para que respondessem a quatro instrumentos de pesquisa [dois para diagnóstico de qualidade de vida (World Health Organization WHOQOL-100), e o Short Form-36 (SF-36), um para análise da presença de ansiedade e depressão (Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (EHAD) e o Questionário de Sinais e Sintomas (QSS), baseado no Post Concussion Questionnaire] com o objetivo de pesquisar a presença de sinais e sintomas da síndrome pós-concussão. Também foram pesquisados aspectos sociodemográficos, como idade, escolaridade, estado civil, renda pessoal e origem desta renda. Os mesmos questionários foram preenchidos por um grupo de controle composto, necessariamente, por coabitantes dos pacientes, sem história de trauma craniano de qualquer gravidade e com idade a mais próxima possível da do paciente. Na avaliação pelo WHOQOL-100, pacientes apresentaram qualidade de vida inferior nos domínios nível de independência, ambiente e no total de domínios (p< 0,05). Na avaliação do SF-36, pacientes revelaram qualidade de vida inferior nos domínios capacidade funcional, vitalidade, saúde mental (p<0,001), dor, estado geral de saúde e aspectos mentais (p<0,05). Pacientes apresentaram mais ansiedade e estavam uma classe acima de seus controles pela EHAD. Pacientes referem ainda número maior de sinais e sintomas da síndrome pós-concussão do que seus respectivos controles. Não verificamos correlação entre a qualidade de vida, classificação na EHAD ou número de sinais e sintomas da SPC com as dosagens de proteína S100B ou com a presença de lesão na TCC realizadas na admissão / Mild head trauma (MHT) is defined as a transitory neurological deficit that happens after the trauma and includes a history of nausea, vomiting, headache or dizziness and loss or alteration of consciousness (less than 15 minutes), post-trauma amnesia, and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission between 13 and 15. Despite the high survival rates, some morbidity has been observed in the three month period after this trauma. Approximately 18% of head trauma patients develop at least one psychiatric syndrome in the first year after the accident. The diagnostics difficulty and the risks of complications after the MHT continue to be a relevant problem at the emergency departments around the world. Limitations of active participation in daily life are alterations that influence life quality. Several of these alterations may be diagnosed through Interview Instruments. Our study was divided in two phases. In the first phase, 50 MHT patients admitted at Hospital João XXIII, Belo Horizonte-MG, Brazil, had protein S100B dosing and head CT taken at admission. Concentration values of S100B lower than 0.01 g/l were considered negative once this was the lowest value found in patients who did not show brain injuty signs in the CT scan. In that study it was found that protein S100B has 100% negative predictive value. In this second phase of the study, 18 months after the trauma, these patients were contacted at their homes and asked to answer four self- assessment questionnaires: two for quality of life diagnostic - World Health Organizations WHOQOL-100 and the Short Form-36 (SF36); one for the analysis of anxiety and depression - Hospital anxiety and depression scale-HADS; and one instrument developed by the author based on the Rivermead Post Concussion Questionnaire to evaluate the presence of post-concussion syndrome signs and symptoms. Several socio-demographic aspects were also analyzed, including income, source of income, means of transportation used, etc. The same questionnaires were filled by a control group formed necessarily by patients co-inhabitants, with no history of head trauma of any severity, and with closest age as possible to the patients. In the WHOQOL assessment patients showed a lower quality of life in the independence, environment, as well as in the total domains (p< 0,05). In the SF 36 assessment patients showed a lower quality of life in the functional capacity, vitality, and mental health domains (p<0,001); and also in pain, general health situation, and mental aspects (p<0,05). Patients showed more anxiety and, in the HADS Scale, showed at least a level higher, on average, than their controls. Patients also showed a higher number of post-concussion signs and symptoms than their respective controls. We did not find correlation between the later quality of life and protein S100B dosing at admission. We were not able to find correlation between the protein concentrations with the presence of brain lesions in the CCT scans taken at patients admission in the emergency department
