We studied the temporal resolution ability in patients with refractory complex partial seizures and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) using Gaps-In-Noise (GIN) test in a prospective cross-sectional study. Thirteen patients with right MTS (age: 31±7.67 years; M:F=8:5) and 13 patients with left MTS (age: 25.76±8.26 years; M:F=9:4) having normal hearing and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score of >23/30 were recruited. Fifty healthy volunteers (26.3±5.17 years; M:F=28:22) formed the control group. Gaps-In-Noise test demonstrated impaired temporal resolution: 69.2% of patients with right MTS (RMTS) and 76.9% of patients with left MTS (LMTS) had abnormal scores in the right ear for gap detection threshold (GDT) measure. Similarly, 53.8% of patients in the RMTS group and 76.9% of patients in the LMTS group had abnormal scores in the left ear. In percentage of correct identification (PCI), 46.1% of patients with RMTS and 69.2% of patients with LMTS had poorer scores in the right ear, whereas 46.1% of patients with RMTS and 61.5% of patients with LMTS had poorer scores in the left ear. Both patient groups, viz., RMTS and LMTS, demonstrated bilateral temporal resolution deficits.
我们在一项前瞻性的横断面研究中,使用间隙噪声测试(Gaps-In-Noise,GIN)研究了难治性复杂部分性癫痫伴内侧颞叶硬化(mesial temporal sclerosis,MTS)患者的时间分辨率能力。共招募了 13 名右侧 MTS 患者(年龄:31±7.67 岁;M:F=8:5)和 13 名左侧 MTS 患者(年龄:25.76±8.26 岁;M:F=9:4),这些患者均有正常听力和 mini-mental 状态检查(mini-mental state examination,MMSE)评分>23/30。50 名健康志愿者(26.3±5.17 岁;M:F=28:22)组成对照组。间隙噪声测试显示时间分辨率受损:69.2%的右侧 MTS 患者(right MTS,RMTS)和 76.9%的左侧 MTS 患者(left MTS,LMTS)右耳间隙检测阈值(gap detection threshold,GDT)测量值异常。同样,RMTS 组中有 53.8%的患者和 LMTS 组中有 76.9%的患者左耳异常。在正确识别百分比(percentage of correct identification,PCI)方面,RMTS 组中有 46.1%的患者右耳得分较差,LMTS 组中有 69.2%的患者右耳得分较差,RMTS 组中有 46.1%的患者左耳得分较差,LMTS 组中有 61.5%的患者左耳得分较差。RMTS 和 LMTS 两组患者均存在双侧时间分辨率缺陷。
