The transsylvian approach to middle cerebral artery bifurcation/trifurcation aneurysms
(Elsevier, 1994-03)
A transsylvian approach to treat aneurysms located at the bifurcation/trifurcation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is described. This surgical route traces a distal MCA branch retrogradely into the Sylvian fissure ...
Glutamine Uptake at the Blood-Brain Barrier Is Mediated by N-System Transport
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 1998-12)
The mechanism of unidirectional transport of glutamine from blood to brain in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats was examined using in situ perfusion. Amino acid uptake into brain across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is ...
Management of anteriorly located C1-C2 neurofibromata
(Elsevier, 1990-01)
The authors discuss their recent experience with anteriorly located Cl-C2 neurofibromata in five patients with cervical myelopathy and magnetic resonance scans consistent with intradural extramedullary masses in this region. ...
Sources of Human Schwann Cells and the Influence of Donor Age
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
We evaluated several tissues as possible sources for culturing human Schwann cells. The average cell yield (total cell number/mg of nerve fascicle) obtained from adult autopsy cases and transplant organ donors was similar ...
Selective culture of mitotically active human Schwann cells from adult sural nerves
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1992-06)
We devised a simple method to isolate mitotically active human Schwann cells from sural nerve biopsy specimens and expand the population in culture. Nerve fascicles were treated with cholera toxin for 7 days in culture ...
Eosinophilic granuloma of the cervical spine : A case report and review of the literature
(Elsevier, 1991-01)
This is a report of a case of eosinophilic granuloma involving the second cervical vertebra in a 33-year-old woman. There have been 32 case reports in the literature describing eosinophilic granuloma presenting as cervical ...
Effect of dietary vitamin A or N-acetylcysteine on ethylnitrosourea-induced rat gliomas
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-10)
It is our hypothesis that low grade gliomas are the glial counterparts of other precancerous lesions such as colon polyps and, therefore, suitable targets for chemoprevention. Steps in the molecular progression of gliomas ...
Differentiative changes in fucosyltransferase activity in newborn rat epidermal cells
(Elsevier, 1992-11-30)
An enzymatic activity catalyzing the transfer of L-fucose from GDP-L-fucose to a glycoprotein that is associated with the surfaces of the basal cells has been found in the membranous fraction of the cutaneous epidermis ...
Effect of chronic octreotide treatment on intestinal absorption in patients with acromegaly
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-02)
The adverse gastrointestinal effects of octreotide, a synthetic analog of somatostatin, have not been fully elucidated. Low-dose octreotide frequently causes adverse gastrointestinal symptoms in normal individuals. We ...
