Dear editor: We would like to present a modified method for cerebrospinal fluid collection in anesthetized rat. This method is easy and applicable in many laboratories interested by research on cellular and molecular effects of CSF on different pathways.

The aim of this study was to determine whether anthocyanins and their phase II metabolites permeate the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (B-CSF-B) sheep profile these compounds in biofluids after chokeberry intraruminal administration. Anthocyanins were analyzed using micro-HPLC-MS/MS. After administration, absorbed occurred body fluids mainly form methylated, glucuronidated, sulfated derivati...

We measured human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) in paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma samples in a prospective study of 91 HIV-infected, antiretroviral therapy-naive patients with cryptococcal meningitis. Cerebrospinal fluid HIV RNA was lower than in plasma (median 4.7 vs 5.2 log10 copies/mL, P < .0001) and positively correlated with plasma HIV RNA, peripheral CD4...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is one of the most important tests in diagnosis central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Although CSF commonly used neurological pathological conditions, it also has its place psychiatry. Studies to date have described several valuable specific cytomorphological phenomena cerebrospinal patients with acute schizophrenia, which indicate inflammatory or immune-medi...

In this article, dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied, using computational fluid dynamics. Using MRI images of two special cases, a 2-dimensional model of the ventricular system was made. CSF velocity and pressure distribution in ventricular system have high importance since the flow pattern of this liquid has an important effect on intracranial pressure, i.e., ICP, which has a...

dear editor: we would like to present a modified method for cerebrospinal fluid collection in anesthetized rat. this method is easy and applicable in many laboratories interested by research on cellular and molecular effects of csf on different pathways.

A novel analysis for investigating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion is proposed based on the previously presented mathematical framework of Low-b diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The estimates covariance flow-velocity distribution and coefficient random CSF. It successfully showed different characteristics ROIs in

Hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (hipp-NS/PCs) of the adult mammalian brain are important sources of neuronal and gial cell production. In this study, the main goal is to investigate the plasticity of these cells in neuronal/astroglial differentiations. To this end, the differentiation of the hipp-NS/PCs isolated from 3-month-old Wistar rats was investigated in response to the embryonic...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leakage is usually caused by developmental abnormalities and is rare, accounting for approximately 5% of the cases of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. To the best of our knowledge, clival dysplasia-caused CSF rhinorrhea has never been reported in the neurosurgical field. CONCLUSION Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is often treated by su...

abstract radionuclide cisternography (rnc) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih). in the current report, we present two patients who underwent rnc for suspected csf leakage. both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and rnc for evaluation. we describe a simple method to incr...
