ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Perampanel on the add-on therapy in children with drug-resistant epilepsy.Methods:Clinical data of children with drug-resistant epilepsy treated with add-on therapy of Perampanel in the Department of Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, aiming to assess the therapeutic efficacy of Perampanel on the add-on therapy of drug-resistant epilepsy.The self-control effective rate of Perampanel before and after treatment were counted.Results:A total of 20 cases of 2-12 year-old children with drug-resistant epilepsy were collected, including 14 males and 6 females.Their mean age, age of onset and course of disease were (5.82±2.39) years, (3.41±1.96) years and (2.40±1.48) years, respectively.Among them, 1 case had simple partial seizures, 7 cases had complex partial seizures, 1 case had generalized seizures and 5 cases had epilepsy syndromes, there were 6 cases with undetermined seizure attack.After 3-month add-on therapy of Perampanel, 4 cases of children with drug-resistant epilepsy were seizure-free, 8 cases had the reduced frequency of seizure for 50% or more, 2 cases had the reduced duration of seizure, 1 case had the reduced severity of seizure, while 4 cases did not respond to perampanel and 1 case was aggravated.Based on the criteria of reduced frequency of seizure for more than 50%, the therapeutic efficacy of add-on therapy of Perampanel achieved 60% in children with drug-resistant epilepsy.Conclusions:The third generation of anti-seizure medication Perampanel can effectively reduce the frequency of seizure, especially in the elder children and those with certain epilepsy syndromes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical short-term efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) by using CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads combined with blank microspheres (8 Spheres) in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) . Methods The clinical data of 98 HCC patients, who were treated at authors′ hospital during the period from July 2016 to November 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into DEB-TACE group (receiving TACE by using CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads combined with 8 Spheres embolic microspheres, n =50) and cTACE group (receiving TACE by using opium poppy ethyl iodized oil together with 8 Spheres embolic microspheres, n =48) . The disease remission rate, control rate and incidence of complications as well as preoperative and 3-day postoperative hepatic function indexes were collected, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results No statistically significant differences in baseline data existed between the two groups (P>0.05) . Both the 3-month and the 6-month disease remission rates in DEB-TACE group were remarkably higher than those in cTACE group (P<0.05), besides, the 6-month disease progression rate and the incidence of elevated serum AFP in DEB-TACE group were lower than those in cTACE group, the short-term efficacy of DEB-TACE group was better than that of cTACE group (P<0.05) . Three days after treatment, the levels of ALT and AST in cTACE group were strikingly higher than those in DEB-TACE group (P<0.05) . No serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusion In treating advanced HCC with TACE, the short-term efficacy and safety of CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads combined with 8 Spheres embolic microspheres are superior to those of opium poppy ethyl iodized oil together with 8 Spheres embolic microspheres.
