Outline Activities
I am engaged in the study of neurological disease both for clinical and research. Basically, I have been using the method of neurophysiology. For the epilepsy, I have studied the feasibility of the magnetoencephalograpy for detecting the epileptic electrical discharges in patient.We created focal cortical dysplasia rat model,which aquires kindling phenomenon faster than normal control. These rat had spontaneous seizure arising from hippocampus. I also analysis brain epileptic magnetic activity using network analysis. We analyze the scalp electroencephalogram, stereotactic electroencephalogram and electrocorticogram in order to reveal the influences of sleep, biological rhythm, memory and higher cortical function on the relationship between limbic system and neocortex.

keyword : epilepsy cooling cervical
2006.04~2007.12We study the cooling effect on cortical epileptic electrical activity by the cooling of cervical carotid artery, which reduced brain temperature indirectly and non-invasively. . - Investigate the epileptogenicity of focal cortical dysplasia
keyword : epilepsy focal cortical dysplasia
2001.10~2011.04We study about the epileptogenicity of focal cortical dysplasia using freeze lesion rat model.. - Study the effect of electrical stimulation on the generation and suppression of epileptic activity
keyword : electrical stimulation epilepsy generation suppression
2001.10~2011.03We made the rat model producing after discharge on neo-cortex. Using this model, we test the efficacy of electrical stimulation both for preventing and provoking seizures..

Methods: We retrospectively investigated surgical outcomes in patients with neocortical or medial temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent temporal lobe resection between May 2014 and June 2017, and were observed for a minimum of one and half year after the surgery. To identify independent predictors for seizure relapse, we first used the univariate analysis (gender, seizure-onset age, using preoperative AEDs treatment, surgical side, pathology, etc.) to find significance differences and then used Cox’s proportional hazards analyses for multivariate analysis using results of univariate analyses. Results: A total of 41 consecutive patients were included in this study. Estimated epileptogenic zone in neocortex, existence of inter-ictal epileptiform discharges after operation, and duration of disease before surgery were significantly associated with seizure relapse, whereas preoperative treatment of new AEDs did not change the outcome: (1) Neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy compared to medial temporal lobe epilepsy (hazard ratio [HR] 0.363, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.162-0.809; p=0.013), (2) Postoperative inter-ictal epileptiform discharges on EEG (HR 0.475, 95% CI 0.240-0.939, p=0.032), (3) Shorter duration of disease (HR 0.965, 95% CI 0.942-0.990, p=0.005). Conclusions: Our study disclosed that the patients with estimated epileptogenic zone in neocortex, postoperative inter-ictal epileptiform discharges, and shorter duration of disease before surgery are more likely to experience seizure recurrence postoperatively. Our results may be useful for selecting candidates for resective surgery in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.. |
