background and objective: diagnosis of hirschsprung’s disease (hd) as the most common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction is based on the presence of aganglionosis from seromuscular or full thickness biopsy. due to the complication of full thickness or seromuscular rectal biopsy, mucosal-sub mucosal biopsy is more intended. however, interpretation of these biopsies stained with hematoxylin...

background: the interaction between serum neuron-specific enolase (nse), biogenic amino-acids and neurobehavioral function with blood lead levels in workers exposed to lead form lead-acid battery manufacturing process was not studied. objective: to evaluate serum nse and biogenic amino-acids (dopamine and serotonin) levels, and neurobehavioral performance among workers exposed to lead from lead...

introduction: we evaluated the incidence and clinical outcome of patients with hypertensive acute ischemic stroke (ais) admitted to a tertiary care center in central india. in addition, we examined the status of stroke biomarkers namely neuron-specific enolase (nse), glial specific protein (s-100ββ), and inter-α-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4(itih4) in the serum of patients suffering from ais ...

The glycolytic enzyme enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) is active as dimers formed from three subunits encoded by different genes. The embryonic alphaalpha isoform remains distributed in many adult cell types, whereas a transition towards betabeta and gammagamma isoforms occurs in striated muscle cells and neurons respectively. It is not understood why enolase exhibits tissue-specific isoforms with very cl...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to systematically review the importance of neuron-specific enolase and S100 beta for diagnosing and monitoring septic encephalopathy. METHODS A PubMed database search was performed to identify studies that evaluated S100 beta and neuron-specific enolase serum levels in patients with sepsis and that were published between January 2000 and April 2012. Only hu...

In previous research, we found α-enolase to be inversely correlated with progression-free and overall survival in lung cancer patients and detected α-enolase on the surface of lung cancer cells. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that surface α-enolase has a significant role in cancer metastasis and tested this hypothesis in the current study. We found that α-enolase was co-immunoprecipit...
