Proton MR spectroscopy of pediatric cerebellar tumors.
PURPOSE To investigate the role of proton MR spectroscopy in pediatric cerebellar tumor diagnosis. METHODS Single voxel pulse sequences with long echo time (135 or 270 milliseconds, voxel size 8 to 19 cm3), were used to obtain proton spectra of primary pediatric cerebellar tumors. Eleven primitive neuroectodermal tumors (patient age, 2 to 12 years; mean, 7 years), 11 low-grade astrocytomas (a...
متن کاملMicrosatellite instability occurs in distinct subtypes of pediatric but not adult central nervous system tumors.
Length alterations in microsatellite repeats, termed microsatellite instability (MSI), are found in 10-15% of sporadic colon, endometrial, and gastric cancers harboring defects in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes We used the microsatellite markers Big Adenine Tract (BAT) 26 and BAT-25 from the reference panel of five markers recommended by the National Cancer Institute to evaluate the incidence ...
متن کاملThe olive DGAT2 gene is developmentally regulated and shares overlapping but distinct expression patterns with DGAT1
Diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) catalyse the final step of the triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis of the Kennedy pathway. Two major gene families have been shown to encode DGATs, DGAT1 (type-1) and DGAT2 (type-2). Both genes encode membrane-bound proteins, with no sequence homology to each other. In this study, the molecular cloning and characterization of a type-2 DGAT cDNA from olive ...
متن کاملIncreased tumors but uncompromised fertility in the female descendants of mice exposed developmentally to diethylstilbestrol.
Prenatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) has been associated with the subsequent development of reproductive tract abnormalities, including poor reproductive outcome and neoplasia, in experimental animals and humans. Experimental animal studies with chemical carcinogens have raised the possibility that adverse effects of DES may be transmitted to succeeding generations. To evaluate this po...
متن کاملPediatric Cerebellar Hemorrhagic Glioblastoma Multiforme
We report the case of an 11 year old boy who presented with nausea, vomiting and ataxia. He was evaluated with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Imaging demonstrated minimal enhancement and hemorrhage of a cerebellar mass. Cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is extremely rare in the cerebellum at any age but especially in children. The atypical findings of mini...
