Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical significance of cerebrospinal fluid neuropeptide Y in epileptic patients with intelligence disturbance.Methods The Full Intelligence Quotient (FIQ) of 78 cases of epileptic patients were assessed by WAIS-RC.The subjects were divided into intelligence disturbance group and non-intelligence disturbance group.Their cerebrospinal fluid neuropeptide Y Was tested by using radio immunoassay.Results The content of neuropeptide Y in intelligence disturbance group Was obviously higher than that in non-intelligence disturbance group (P<0.01).Conclusion Intelligence disturbance in epileptic patients is related to the increased Neuropeptide Y.Neuropeptide Y may reflect the intelligence condition in epileptic patients.
