Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2: a clinical, pathologic, and genetic study [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is characterized by onset between age 10 and 22 years, cerebellar atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, oculomotor apraxia (OMA), and elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. Recessive mutations in

Myelinated Nerve Fiber Analysis of the Human Greater Splanchnic Nerve

Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, 1999
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the human greater splanchnic nerve in relation to aging. We adopted a new staining method which makes it possible to discriminate various structures of the nervous tissue. We examined 25 human greater splanchnic nerves from cadavers for anatomy dissection.

The sensory penis: A comprehensive immunohistological and ontogenetic exploration of human penile innervation

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Penile sexual sensation relies on intricate neural structures that remain incompletely characterized. Immunohistological insights into their development and organization can enhance understanding of penile neuroanatomy and function, while optimizing surgical outcomes.

Studies on cultured Schwann cells: the induction of myelin synthesis, and the control of their proliferation by a new growth factor [PDF]

, 1981
We have recently described the use of immunological methods to identify and purify rat Schwann cells. In dissociated cultures of neonatal sciatic nerve, all of the cells can be identified by antigenic criteria as either Schwann cells or fibroblasts.

Endothelial Netrin‐4 regulates oligodendrocyte precursor cell proliferation and differentiation via ET‐1 signaling in preterm white matter injury

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Our findings show early increased Netrin‐4 in mice with PWMI boosts angiogenesis and OPCs proliferation. Later, high levels hinder OPCs differentiation into mature cells, impairing myelination. It may act by stimulating ET‐1 secretion. Abstract Perinatal hypoxia–ischemia is a leading cause of preterm white matter injury (PWMI), yet mechanisms ...

Synaptic ultrastructural alterations in human focal cortical dysplasia: Insights from volume electron microscopy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a developmental malformation of the cerebral cortex and a leading cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy in children and young adults. Disruption of the excitation–inhibition (E–I) balance is a hallmark of neuronal hyperexcitability in FCD, yet the underlying synaptic ultrastructural changes remain poorly ...

THE EFFECTS OF NERVE GROWTH FACTOR ON MYELINATION OF REGENERATED FIBERS IN RAT [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2003
The effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on regeneration of rat sciatic nerves in adult rat was studied. The sciatic nerve was cut out across a 6‑mm gap, then the proximal and distal stumps were inserted into the silicone tube chamber.
