29 30 To investigate the interaction between peptides and glutamatergic synapses in the 31 dorsal thalamus, we compared the frequency-dependent plasticity of excitatory 32 postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in the tectorecipient zone of rodent lateral posterior 33 nucleus (LPN), which is densely innervated by axons that contain the neuromodulator 34 substance P (SP). Immunocytochemistry and confoc...

40 The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) is a laminar midbrain structure that translates 41 visual signals into commands to shift the focus of attention and gaze. The SC plays an integral 42 role in selecting targets and ultimately generating rapid eye movements to those targets. In all 43 mammals studied to date, neurons in the SC are arranged topographically such that the 44 location of visu...

Karyotypic evolution is a well-known phenomenon in patients with malignant hematological disorders during disease progression. We describe a 50-year-old male patient who had originally presented with pancytopenia in October 1992. The diagnosis of a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) FAB subtype RAEB-t was established in April 1993 by histological bone marrow (BM) examination, and therapy with low-d...

Receptor-mediated inhibition of amiloride-sensitive sodium absorption was observed in primary and immortalized murine renal collecting duct cell (mCT12) monolayers. The addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to the basolateral bathing solution of polarized monolayers reduced amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current (I(sc)) by 15-25%, whereas the addition of ATP to the apical bathing solutio...

24 Making decisions about future actions is a fundamental function of the nervous system. 25 Classical theories hold that separate sets of brain regions are responsible for selecting and 26 implementing an action. Traditionally, action selection has been considered the domain 27 of high-level regions such as the prefrontal cortex, while action generation is thought to 28 be carried out by dedic...

BACKGROUND Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a relatively uncommon carcinoma among gastrointestinal cancers and usually has a rather poor prognosis. The most common subtype of GBC is adenocarcinoma (AC), which accounts for about 90% of GBC. Squamous carcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma (SC/ASC) are comparatively rare histopathological subtypes of GBC. The clinicopathological features and biological beha...
