Abstract:
Objective To determine whether Topiramate(TPM) has an effect on basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) expression in hippocampus in a chronic kindling rat model of epilepsy.Methods Chronic kindling rat models were established by pentetrazole(PTZ) and divided into three groups:PTZ group,TPM group and normal control group.Each group then divided into three subgroups according to different time point of kindling(5,10 and 15 d).The expressions of bFGF in CA1,CA3 and dentate gyrus areas of hippocampus were detected by immunohistochemistry method.The cellular morphologic changes were observed by HE staining method.Results(1) There was no difference of epileptic praxiology between PTZ and TPM groups.(2) Compared with normal control group,bFGF-positive cells in dentate gyrus in PTZ group and TPM group were increased significantly at each time point(all P
