It has been determined that the formation of paroxysmal brain activity in LCND occurs 3.5 times more frequent (p<0.001) and 15-17 years earlier (p<0.001) than in the control group and mainly during the first 10 years after the exposure to radiation. The history of the exposure to ionizing radiation is associated with the increased risk of the development of convulsive PBA as focal seizures by 5.5 times (p<0.001), interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) in EEG by 3.3 times (p<0.001). Radiation effect on LCND under 30 years old increases (as compared to the control group) the risk of the formation of elevated paroxysmal brain activity by 19 times (p<0.001), convulsive epileptic seizures by 33.3 times (p<0.001), interictal epileptiform discharges in EEG by 12 times (p<0.001), asymptomatic focal epileptoid nidus in EEG by 9.3 times (p<0.001). Stimulating effect of ionizing radiation on the development of PBA related to the age on the date of exposure to radiation was found.
The aim of this study is to identify clinical and biochemical predictors of neurological disorders in adolescents who have suffered mild perinatal damage of the central nervous system. We examined 120 adolescents (62 girls and 58 boys) aged 13–16 years, who were hospitalized in the city Children’s Neurological Department. It was found that adolescents with perinatal lesions of the central nervous system, activated lipid peroxidation processes and revealed an increase in the concentration of protein S 100, which in the future could lead to the development of neurodegeneration processes. In addition, a positive correlation between the lipid peroxidation processes nd the concentration of the nerve tissue damage marker was revealed. The results indicate that the level of neurospecific protein — protein S 100, parameters of the oxidant‑antioxidant system, perinatal factors can be used as predictors of chronic nervous tissue processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
