These substances are involved in the interaction of neuronal networks, myelin maturation, and functioning of excitatory neurotransmitters (glutamatergic system). The active substance of Cogitum is a synthetic analogue of N-acetyl-aspartate. We analyzed the efficacy of Cogitum in 249 ADHD children with or without subclinical epileptiform activity on the electroencephalogram (children with cerebral palsy and epileptic seizures were excluded). Cogitum was most effective in improving attention, memory, and speech. None of the children had aggravation of epileptiform activity or developed epileptic seizures during treatment. Therefore, Cogitum is a safe drug to alleviate ADHD manifestations in children with subclinical epileptiform activity on the electroencephalogram.","PeriodicalId":196950,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Child Neurology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130218687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Burdenko National Medical Research Center of Neurosurgery of the Ministry of Health of Russia from 2010 to 2016. 28 males, 36 females, age from 3 months to 18 years, on average 7,2 years. The pathology localization: temporal – 21 cases, occipital and parietal – 18, frontal – 25. Pathomorphology: 12 patients with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) I, 20 patients with FCD II, 5 patients with FCD III, 4 patients with tuberous sclerosis, 20 patients with low grade tumors, and 3 cases else. The duration of diseaseis from 61 to 5081 days. Catamnesis (follow-up) ranged from 364 to 1877 days. There was four criteria for including patients in research: intraoperative EEG, presence of initial and control registration of EсoG, follow-up above 364 days. There are three hallmarks selected as significant concerning the efficiency of neurophysiological monitoring: 1) the positive changes in scalp EEG: decrease of interhemispheric asymmetry due to reduction of slow activity on the side of pathology; significant reduction of the unilateral epileptiform activity on the side of pathology and bilateral if exist; 2) the positive changes in EсoG: significant reduction of the regular epileptiform activity; 3) the absence or existence of residual epileptiform activity in adjacent to resected pathology sites. The statistical processing carried out with application of a Stat10 package.   Results. The more expressed positive dynamics of EEG were revealed in patients of smaller age already during operation. A correlation was found between the age of patients and the positive dynamics of intraoperative EEG. An inverse correlation was found between the duration of the disease and the positive dynamics of the scalp EEG during surgery (p = 0.1560). The EEG changes during surgery were shown more often with reduction of the seizure anamnesis. There was found out that residual epileptiform activity on ECoG occurred more often at patients with longer anamnesis of a disease and at patients with frontal localization of pathology. The residual epileptiform activity on ECoG was registered more often at patients with preservation of seizures (outcomes 2, 3, 4, 5 ILAE).   Conclusions. During resective interventions for symptomatic epilepsy in children the probability of positive changes was the more, the younger the patient was. Intraoperative ECoG is one of the useful tools in epilepsy surgery, but it does not definitely determine success. There was no statistically significant relationship between the presence of residual epileptiform signs on the ECoG in the cortex adjacent to the removal area and the outcome of surgical treatment for seizures.

Currently, more than 500 genes are known, in one degree or another associated with the development of the phenotype of congenital cerebral palsy (CP). The amount of accumulated data requires the sorting of the mechanisms of the influence of genes on brain development.Aim. To compare the spectrum of determinants in groups of patients with CP, accompanied (CP+) and non-accompanied (CP–) by epilepsy.Materials and methods. 154 children with a phenotype of cerebral palsy aged from 1 to 17 years old were investigated. Boys – 92, girls – 62. Genetic mutations were confirmed by the methods of next generation sequencing (NGS) in the study of venous blood samples. Genes with anomalies were distributed to the groups of determinants for the main aspects of the development and function of the brain. A total of 13 groups were created.Results. In the CP– group, determinants of cell dividing, brain development and cytoskeleton were identified in 11 (61.1 %) cases. In 4 (22.2 %) cases, determinants of cell metabolism and external cell membrane transport were identified. In the CP+ group in 23.5 % of cases, determinants of cell division, brain development and cytoskeleton were revealed. The number of patients with anomalies of chromatin modifications, transcription and replication processes was significantly less (4.4 %). In 42 (30.8 %), the CP+ patients found determinants of excitability of the neuronal membrane and excitation transmission. In the cases of brain malformations in both CP– and CP+ groups determinants of cellular division, brain development and cytoskeleton were identified.
