ABCB1 c.3435C>T and EPHX1 c.416A>G polymorphisms influence plasma carbamazepine concentration, metabolism and pharmacoresistance in epileptic patients

Abstract

Background: ABCB1, EPHX1 and SCN1A gene polymorphisms have been reported play important roles in individual variability carbamazepine (CBZ) metabolism and resistance, but the result of that association still remains controversial. Objective: To clarify the associations among ABCB1, EPHX1 and SCN1A gene polymorphisms and CBZ metabolism and resistance. Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Science and Technique Journals Database, China Biology medicine disc and Wan Fang Database were searched for appropriate studies up to April 2020.Results: A total of 18 studies involving 3293 related epilepsy patients were included. ABCB1 c.3435C>T polymorphism was significantly associated with adjusted concentrations of CBZ (CC vs. CT, P=0.004), and EPHX c.416A>G polymorphism was significantly associated with carbamazepine-10, 11-trans dihydrodiol (CBZD) (AA vs. GG, P=0.045; AG vs. GG, P=0.010). Furthermore, ABCB1 c.3435C>T polymorphism was also observed to be significantly influenced CBZ resistance (CT vs TT, P=0.01; CC+CT vs TT, P=0.006). Conclusion: ABCB1 c.3435C>T polymorphism may affect the CBZ metabolism and resistance, EPHX1 c.416A>G polymorphism may only affect CBZ metabolism. These findings provided further evidence for individualized therapy of epilepsy patients in clinics. Nevertheless further large studies are still warranted to provide conclusive evidences.

VCC-α nullification and leakage reduction in Pt/Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3/Pt thin-film capacitor by MgO barrier and PDA for energy storage application

“…The film deposition methods like ALD and Plasma enhanced ALD help to achieve surface passivation [11,47,48] which further eliminate interfacial dead-layer and give rise to better metal-insulator interfaces. Hence leakage current density achieved by Zhang et al [49,50], Austin et al [14] and Zhu et al [43] are low compared to that achieved in this work. Even then value of VCC-α is better in this work than that achieved by Austin et al [14] and Zhu et al [43].…”

China's 10-year progress in DC gas-insulated equipment: From basic research to industry perspective

“…The insulating materials with nonlinear conductivity can also be produced by proper surface coating [101,102] . Although the insulating materials with nonlinear conductivity can adaptively release the accumulated surface charges, the high doping of semiconductive particles into the spacer bulk may lead to a huge leakage current and reduce the breakdown strength of epoxy resin, leading to a questionable safety and reliability issue of such spacers.…”

Transport in electron-photon systems

“…Together with the fluctuation dissipation theorem as a corner stone [9], the theory is complete. The theory has been applied to a variety of situations and geometries [10][11][12] and has been reviewed extensively [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
