Background: We clinically evaluated the quality of white matter lesions (WML) cerebrum on 3D inversion recovery ultrashort echo time (IR-UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.

background variables derived from electroencephalogram like cerebral state index (csi) have been used to monitor the anesthesia depth during general anesthesia. observed evidences show such variables have also been used as a detector of brain death or outcome predictor in traumatic brain-injured (tbi) patients. objectives the current study was designed to determine the correlation between glasg...

Cerebrum and cerebellum contain numerous asymmetric synapses characterized by the presence of a postsynaptic thickening prominently stained by phosphotungstic acid and other electron-dense stains suitable for electron microscopy. A 51,000-Mr protein, copurified in postsynaptic density-enriched fractions from cerebrum, is considered to be a well established marker for the postsynaptic density. O...

The study of birds, especially the Galapagos finches, was important to Darwin in the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Birds have also been at the centre of a recent reformulation in understanding cerebral evolution and the substrates for higher cognition. While it was once thought that birds possess a simple cerebrum and were thus limited to instinctive behaviours, i...

a set of one hundred and twenty nine patients with known primary malignancy and suspected brain metastasis was reviewed in present study. the patients were selected among patients presented to the mri section of imam khomeini hospital or a private mri center in tabriz (iran). primary tumor site, clinical manifestations, number and site of lesions were identified in this patient population. the ...

Levels of methylmalonic acid (MMA) comparable to those of human methylmalonic acidemia were achieved in blood (2-2.5 mmol/l) and brain (1.35 umol/g) of rats by administering buffered MMA, pH 7.4, subcutaneously twice a day from the 5th to the 28th day of life. MMA doses ranged from 0.76 to 1.67 umol/g as a function of animal age. Control rats were treated with saline in the same volumes. The an...

Autoregulation and CO2 responses were investigated concurrently in cerebrum, cerebellum, and spinal cord of 19 cats by means of hydrogen clearance. Under ketamine and nitrous oxide anesthesia at normal systemic mean arterial blood pressure (MABP 123 +/- 18.4 mmHg, mean +/- standard deviation) blood flow was 86 +/- 30.0 ml/100 g/min in the cerebrum, 48 +/- 13.6 ml/100 g/min in the cerebellum, an...

BACKGROUND Housekeeping genes, which show constant protein expression patterns between different tissue types, are very important in molecular biological studies as an internal control for protein research. METHODS The protein expression profiles of seven housekeeping genes (HPRT1, PPIA, GYS1, TBP, YWHAZ, GAPDH and ACTB) in various rat tissues (cerebrum, cerebellum, cardiac ventricle and atri...

Tissue-specific expression of transporters is tightly linked with their physiological functions through the regulation of the membrane transport of their substrates. We hypothesized that epigenetic regulation underlies the tissue-specific expression of mouse liver-specific transporters (Oatp1b2/Slco1b2, Ntcp/Slc10a1, Bsep/Abcb11, and Abcg5/g8). We examined their DNA methylation and histone modi...
