the aim of this study was to determine the prognosis and survival for patients with borderlineovarian tumor (bot). a retrospective review of 30 patients with serous andmucinous bot treated at or referred to our institution was performed. fifteenpatients (50%) had serous, and the others had mucinous bot. about 86% of allpatients in both groups were in stage i of the disease. the recurrent diseas...

background: the rodent somatosensory barrel cortex is an ideal model to examine the effect of experience-dependent plasticity on developing brain circuitry. sensory deprivation such as whisker deprivation may affect neuroanatomical aspects of the brain during developmental processes. the present study designed to investigate the possible effects of whisker deprivation on the morphometric charac...

results the i/r group showed a significant increase in pycnotic (dying) neurons and pretreatment with wc at doses of 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg significantly reduced pycnotic and tunel positive neurons, in a dose dependent manner in ischemic brain cortex. conclusions our findings indicated that wc has neuroprotective effects and is able to reduce histopathological alterations and apoptosis in bra...

introduction: barrel cortex of rats is a part of somatosensory cortex, which receives information from facial whiskers. vibrisectomy by sensory deprivation leads to some changes in the barrel cortex, which have been known as experience dependent plasticity. on the other hand, norepinephrine (ne) and locus coeruleus, which is the main source of ne, influenced response properties of cortical barr...

Cortical control of the sensory output of muscle spindles was studied in thirteen anesthetized cats in the present experiment. Gamma motoneuron activity was monitored during electrical stimulation of the sensorimotor cortex while recording from single primary afferents from the tenuissimus muscle. Findings are as follows: 1. The state of anesthesia is crucial in obtaining reproducible resu...
