Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) may help to understand the neurometabolic mechanisms in patients with epilepsy comorbid with MWoA (EWM). In this prospective cross-sectional study, we recruited 64 female patients, including 24 with EWM, 20 with epilepsy, and 20 with MWoA, as well as 20 age-level-matched and educational-level-matched female healthy controls from our hospital between August 2021 and November 2022. A single-voxel point-resolved spectroscopy sequence was used to acquire spectra of the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortices (DLPFCs). Metabolites were quantified by linear combination model software, and the values were corrected for the partial volume effect of cerebrospinal fluid. MRS data comparisons were performed with multivariate analyses of variance. Correlation analyses were calculated between metabolites and main clinical data. The results showed that N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) was asymmetrical between the bilateral DLPFCs. Both NAA and myoinositol were significantly reduced in EWM than in healthy controls. Choline-containing compounds (Cho) were higher in MWoA than in the other three groups. Correlation analyses revealed that NAA of the right DLPFC and Cho of the bilateral DLPFCs in EWM were negatively related to migraine frequency. In addition, glutamate and glutamine (Glu and Gln, Glx) of the right DLPFC in EWM were negatively correlated with migraine severity.

The clinical trials demonstrated that GSH treatment improved brain damage markers (S-100 beta protein, brain fatty acid-binding protein), increased neurological status scores (Glasgow coma scale), and reduced Pediatric Risk of Mortality III scores in children with SAE. GSH treatment also significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory factors (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α) and decreased lipid peroxidation (superoxide dismutase). Additionally, GSH reduced lipid peroxidation resulting from abnormal lipid metabolism, as indicated by the levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4, lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3, and glutathione peroxidase 4. In-vivo experiments showed that the neuroprotective effect of GSH was dose-dependent, with better effects observed at medium and high doses. Furthermore, GSH alleviated brain damage, suppressed the release of inflammatory factors, and inhibited lipid peroxidation in SAE mice. The animal experiments also showed that GSH reduces lipid peroxidation through the 15-lipoxygenase/phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1/glutathione peroxidase 4 pathway.

We recruited 60 melancholic depression, 58 NMD, and 80 healthy controls, all matched for gender, age, and education. Functional connectivity analysis focused on bilateral NAc as the region of interest, comparing it with the whole brain and correlating significant differences with clinical scores. Melancholic depression patients showed reduced functional connectivity between the left NAc and anterior brain regions, and between the right NAc and temporal and frontal areas, compared to healthy controls. In contrast, NMD patients displayed reduced functional connectivity only between the left NAc and the posterior cingulate cortex. Melancholic depression patients also exhibited increased functional connectivity between the right NAc and the middle frontal gyrus, unlike NMD patients. The findings suggest that melancholic depression patients exhibit unique NAc functional connectivity patterns, particularly with the default mode network and prefrontal areas, suggesting atypical reward-circuitry interactions.
