    Abstract Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of epileptic syndrome. It has been established that due to its complex pathogenesis, a considerable proportion of TLE patients often progress to drug-resistant epilepsy. Ferroptosis has emerged as an important neuronal death mechanism in TLE, which is primarily influenced by lipid accumulation and oxidative stress. In previous studies of ferroptosis, more attention has been focused on the impact of changes in the levels of proteins related to the redox equilibrium and signaling pathways on epileptic seizures. However, it is worth noting that the oxidative-reduction changes in different organelles may have different pathophysiological significance in the process of ferroptosis-related diseases. Mitochondria, as a key organelle involved in ferroptosis, its structural damage and functional impairment can lead to energy metabolism disorders and disruption of the excitatory inhibitory balance, significantly increasing the susceptibility to epileptic seizures. Therefore, secondary mitochondrial dysfunction in the process of ferroptosis could play a crucial role in TLE pathogenesis. This review focuses on ferroptosis and mitochondria, discussing the pathogenic role of ferroptosis-related mitochondrial dysfunction in TLE, thus aiming to provide novel insights and potential implications of ferroptosis-related secondary mitochondrial dysfunction in epileptic seizures and to offer new insights for the precise exploration of ferroptosis-related therapeutic targets for TLE patients.

    Abstract Lipid-accumulated reactive astrocytes (LARAs) have recently been confirmed to be a pivotal cell type present in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) lesions. These cells not only induce anomalous lipid accumulation within the epileptic foci but also decrease the seizure threshold by employing upregulated activation of the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR). Furthermore, disturbances in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) have been noted as significant drivers of lipid accumulation in astrocytes. Moreover, the deficiency of OxPhos in astrocytes can induce severe neuroinflammation, which can worsen the progression of TLE. Accordingly, further exploration of the correlation between mitochondrial dysfunction, LARAs-mediated lipid accumulation, and A2AR activation within epilepsy lesions is warranted. It could potentially elucidate the vital role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of TLE.

    Abstract Background: The identification of patients with seizures of unknown etiology who would benefit from neural antibody testing necessitates effective assessment tools. The study aimed to compare the performance of the Antibody Prevalence in Epilepsy and Encephalopathy (APE2) score and the "Obvious" Indications for Neural Antibody Testing in Epilepsy or Seizures (ONES) checklist. We also intended to evaluate whether the performance of the tools varied by types of antibody.
    Methods: Patients diagnosed with epilepsy, seizures, or status epilepticus of unknown etiology at West China Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were included. Paired serum/cerebrospinal fluid samples were analyzed for antineuronal and antiglial antibodies. The APE2 score and ONES checklist were applied, and their outcomes were compared to laboratory antibody test results. Possible false positive neuronal antibody results were excluded in sensitivity/specificity analysis reasonably.
    Results: A total of 113 antibody-positive and 159 antibody-negative patients were enrolled in sensitivity/specificity analysis. The ONES checklist showed superior sensitivity than APE2 score (95.6 % vs.79.6 %, P < 0.001). Specificity was not statistically different (60.4 % vs. 57.9 %, P = 0.557). The negative predictive value (NPV) of ONES checklist was higher than that of APE2 score (94.8 % vs 80.7 %, P < 0.001). The positive predictive value of them was not statistically different (61.7 % vs 58.8 %, P = 0.557). APE2 score exhibited lower sensitivity for predicting LGI-Abs (52.9 % vs. 80.3 %, P = 0.022) compared to NMDAR-Abs. Similarly, ONES checklist showed lower sensitivity for LGI1-Abs than NMDAR-Abs (82.4 % vs. 100.0 %, P = 0.009).
    Conclusions: The ONES checklist demonstrates superior sensitivity for neural antibody positivity than APE2 score. Specificity of the two assessment tools was similar. ONES checklist performed better NPV than the APE2 score. Both assessment tools performed less well in predicting the presence of LGI1- Abs when compared to NMDAR-Abs.

    Abstract Background: Appendiceal goblet cell carcinoma (aGCC) is a rare neoplasm with mixed endocrine and exocrine features. No paraneoplastic neurological syndromes or autoantibodies have been identified in cases of aGCC or even appendiceal tumors. Amphiphysin-immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoimmunity was first described in stiff-person syndrome with breast cancer. We firstly described the clinical course and pathological findings of a patient with aGCC-associated amphiphysin-IgG autoimmunity.
    Case presentation: A 54-year-old man who developed aGCC was admitted for acute disturbance of consciousness, psychiatric symptoms, cognitive impairment, seizure and hypotension. Amphiphysin-IgG was detected in the patient's serum and CSF by immunoblotting and tissue-based indirect immunofluorescence assay confirming the diagnosis of definite paraneoplastic amphiphysin-IgG-positive encephalitis. Histopathology revealed amphiphysin protein expression and accompanying immune cell infiltration (predominantly CD20+ B cells, CD3+ and CD8+ T cells) within the tumor tissue, suggesting a possible paraneoplastic origin of amphiphysin-associated paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNSs) in this case. Although the patient's symptoms resolved after high-dose corticosteroid therapy, he experienced recurrence 6 months later, manifesting as paraneoplastic cerebellar dysfunction. Despite treatment with IV cyclophosphamide and oral mycophenolate mofetil, no improvement was noted.
    Conclusions: This case suggests that aGCC may trigger amphiphysin-IgG autoimmunity.

    Abstract Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNSs) are a group of neurological disorders triggered by an underlying remote tumor. Ovarian teratoma (OT) is the most common histologic type of germ cell tumor in females. The most common PNSs associated with OT is anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis. However, with the increasing number of new antibodies reported over the last decade, the clinical spectrum of OT-related PNSs is also expanding. Our knowledge of OT-related PNSs is still far from complete. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the most recent findings in the field of OT-related PNSs, with a particular focus on their clinical and pathological characteristics. Overall, the description of neuronal antibodies in PNSs associated with OT strongly suggests that antibodies may be responsible for the clinical symptoms in some cases. OT-related PNSs are associated with various clinical manifestations, including anti-NMDAR encephalitis, limbic encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, progressive cerebellar syndrome and opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. The pathological characteristics of the OT suggest that the mechanism of PNSs is probably due to heteromorphic neurons in the tumor tissue, the ectopic expression of the antigens in neural tissue within the teratomas and patients' unusual immune response. Despite the severity of the neurological syndromes, most patients with OT-related PNSs showed good neurologic response to early tumor resection combined with immunotherapy. To further advance the management of OT-related PNSs, additional studies are needed to explore this complex topic.
