Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

Pathology of neuromyelitis optica
Understanding of the pathogenesis of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is rapidly growing. In our immunohistochemical studies from 2006, the loss of AQP4 was evident in about 90% of NMO lesions, especially in perivascular areas of acute inflammatory lesions where immunoglobulins and complements were deposited.

Spinal Cord Sarcoidosis Treated With Infliximab
ABSTRACT Isolated spinal cord lesion could be misinterpreted as a demyelinating disease. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis should be in the differential when other indices for a demyelinating disorder are absent. An inadequate response to intravenous steroid therapy should not rule out spinal sarcoidosis as this report confirms the response to intravenous ...
