Abstract

S100B, a cytokine produced by astrocytes, has been studied as a biomarker of glial and neuronal damage in epilepsy. The present study investigated the reliability of serum S100B as a biomarker and the effect of carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine on serum S100B in patients with focal seizure. The present randomized, open-label, active-controlled, parallel design clinical trial (NCT02705768) conducted on 60 patients with focal seizure. After recruitment, clinical evaluations were performed including Chalfont-National Hospital seizure severity scale (NHS3), Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-31) and serum S100B was estimated. Thirty healthy individuals were recruited for evaluation of serum S100B at baseline only. After randomization, the study groups received either tablet oxcarbazepine or tablet carbamazepine. At follow-up after 2 weeks, clinical status was checked and at 4 weeks, NHS3 and QOLIE-31 were scored along with serum S100B level estimation. Serum S100B level in patients with focal seizure increased significantly in comparison to healthy volunteers. The decrease in serum S100B was significantly higher with carbamazepine group (0.004; 95% CI 0.001-0.006; p = 0.01) over oxcarbazepine group. In logistic regression a...Continue Reading

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
