CRISPR technology has rapidly changed the face of biological research, such that precise genome editing has now become routine for many labs within several years of its initial development. CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspace Short Palindromic Repeat/CRISPR-associated nuclease 9) gene editing system is a powerful and groundbreaking programmable genome editing technology developed based on an adaptive […]
SCCs and KeratoAcanthomas (KAs) are biologically distinct and can be diagnosed by light microscopy
SCCs and KAs are biologically distinct and can be diagnosed by light microscopy: Abstract Since the first observation by Hutchinson in 1889, the nature of KAs has been the topic of fierce debate. This debate has continued for decades with two main schools as opponents, one arguing that KAs constitute a distinct biological phenomenon different from SCCs and characterized by a benign course, the other arguing that KAs are subtypes of SCCs with potential for a malignant clinical course.

Cavernous Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following a Radical Cavernous Sinus Resection
Cavernous Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following a Radical Cavernous Sinus Resection: J Neurol Surg Rep 2016; 77: e102-e105 DOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1584282 Iatrogenic cavernous carotid pseudoaneurysms are a special group among other intracranial aneurysms. They can occur during the dissection phase of the surgery if the tumor encases a vessel. Complications of their rupture as hemorrhage or stroke are life threatening. Early recognition and treatment is mandatory to avoid catastrophic sequelae. We present the successful diagnosis and endovascular treatment of a postoperative cavernou... περισσότερα »

Nasal Dermal Sinus Associated with a Dumbbell-Shaped Dermoid
A Case Report: J Neurol Surg Rep 2016; 77: e94-e97 DOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1584525 Nasal dermal sinus is a rare congenital anomaly.

Cervical dystonia
a neural integrator disorder: Ocular motor neural integrators ensure that eyes are held steady in straight-ahead and eccentric positions of gaze. Abnormal function of the ocular motor neural integrator leads to centripetal drifts of the eyes with consequent gaze-evoked nystagmus. In 2002 a neural integrator, analogous to that in the ocular motor system, was proposed for the control of head movements. Recently, a counterpart of gaze-evoked eye nystagmus was identified for head movements; in which the head could not be held steady in eccentric positions on the trunk. These findings l... περισσότερα »

Malaria and Colonialism in Korea, c.1876-c.1945
This article considers the problem of malaria in the Korean peninsula from 1876 to 1945, focusing particularly on the impact of Japanese colonial rule. One aspect which receives special attention is malaria in urban contexts. The relationship between malaria and urbanisation is shown to be extremely complex, fluctuating regardless of specific interventions against the disease. In rural and urban areas, Japanese antimalarial measures concentrated on military garrisons, at the expense of both civilian settlers and Koreans. However, it was Koreans who bore the brunt of the malaria pr... περισσότερα »

Harnessing the Power of Difference: Colonialism and British Chronic Disease Research, 1940-1975
Recent studies of post-war chronic disease epidemiology have generally focused on the histories of research in the USA and UK. Using the archival records of a major British funding body, the Colonial Medical Research Committee and its successor the Tropical Medical Research Board, this article demonstrates the advantages of bringing a post-colonial analytic to this historiography. It highlights how the administrative and medical interests in population difference at the centre of the new epidemiology came to map onto political apparatus initially created to know, reform and govern... περισσότερα »

*Background.* The brain may reorganize to optimize stroke recovery. Yet relatively little is known about neural correlates of training-facilitated recovery, particularly after loss of body sensations. *Objective.* Our aim was to characterize changes in brain activation following clinically effective touch discrimination training in stroke patients with somatosensory loss after lesions of primary/secondary somatosensory cortices or thalamic/capsular somatosensory regions using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). *Methods.* Eleven stroke patients with somatosensory loss, 7... περισσότερα »

Puerarin protects against CCl4-induced liver fibrosis in mice: possible role of PARP-1 inhibition.

In conclusion, our results demonstrated that AS could significantly protect SAP rats, and this protection was related to the reduction of digestive enzyme activities and pro-inflammatory cytokine expressions via inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, AS may be considered as a potential therapeutic agent against SAP. PMID: 27318790 [PubMed – as supplied by publisher] (Source: […]

Oncostatin M (OSM) is a multi-functional gp130 cytokine. Although OSM is produced in adipose tissue, it is not produced by adipocytes. OSM expression is significantly induced in adipose tissue from obese mice and humans. The OSM-specific receptor, OSM receptor beta (OSMR), is expressed in adipocytes, but its function remains largely unknown. To better understand the […]
