Febrile seizures are the commonest acute neurological disorder of early childhood. Studies suggested that febrile seizures are previous acute events from a more serious neurological problem. Due to neuron-specific enolase is generally accepted as a marker for neuropathological processes in the brain, 16 pediatric patients were studied during their first seizures and a year after it. Neuron-spec...

This article demonstrates that mannotriose effectively induces the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like in vitro. Rat-derived were investigated on their potential to differentiate induced by purified from Radix Rehmanniae Preparata The percentage neuron-specific enolase positive and Nissl after treatment was increased. mRNA levels neurofilament medium upregulated group com...

Neuron-specific enolase-like and kallikrein-like immunoreactivity was found to be co-localized in the ductal elements of the submandibular gland and in the more distal portions of the nephron in the kidney of newborn lambs. Some glomerular peripolar cells in the kidney were immunopositive for neuron-specific enolase without detectable kallikrein-like immunoreactivity.

Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of blastocyst stage embryos. These unique cell lines have the potential to form virtually any cell type in the body and can be propagated in vitro indefinitely in an undifferentiated state. These cells are capable of forming embryoid bodies (EB) that contain cells from all three embryonic lin...

Ninety-eight patients treated for breast carcinomas were followed from 54 to 75 months after primary diagnosis. All had undergone a modified radical mastectomy with removal of axillary lymph nodes. 36 breast carcinomas were NSE-positive and 62 were negative. NSE-positive tumours were significantly more frequently estrogen receptor-positive than the NSE-negative tumours, and the estrogen recepto...
