ABSTRACT
SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 are located in mitochondria and also known as mitochondrial sirtuins. They play important roles in regulating many cellular functions including cell survival, cell cycle or apoptosis, DNA repair and metabolism. Mitochondrial sirtuins are involved in the protection of mitochondrial integrity and energy metabolism under stress regulating the expression of neurotransmitter receptors, neurotrophins, extracellular matrix proteins and various transcription factors, thus involved in epileptogenesis triggered by both genetic or acquired factors. Here we review research progress on the actions of mitochondrial sirtuin in epilepsy; and discuss the challenges and perspectives of mitochondrial sirtuin as a potential therapeutic target for epilepsy.

OBJECTIVE: To study the condition and the related factors of adverse drug reactions (ADR) occurred in our hospital. METHODS: A total of 75 omeprazole-induced ADR reports (96 cases) retrieved from 1996 to Mar. 2007 published in domestic medical journals were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Omeprazole-induced ADR were mostly seen in males aged from 41 to 60, but which was independent of sex. The ADR induced by oral administration usually appeared within 3 days to 2 weeks, while those induced by injection were more often seen at 3～5 min or 3 days later. The ADR might involve multi-organs or systems, and their clinical manifestations were various and complicated, chiefly characterized by allergic reactions and hypolekocytosis, or even allergic shock in severe cases. CONCLUSION: ADR induced by omeprazole call for great attention in the clinic.
