to study the immunohistochemical pattern of cd 117, glial fibrillary acidic protein (gfap), smooth muscle actin (sma) and cd 43 in pleomorphic adenoma (pa), adenoid cystic carcinoma (adcc) and polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma (plga) of minor salivary glands.twenty cases of pa, 20 cases of adcc and 10 cases of plga were retrieved from record files along with their paraffin blocks at armed f...

The case report aims to highlight a rare entity called gliomatosis peritonei. We of 23-year-old female presenting with an ovarian mass along multiple omental nodules. On histopathological examination, the was diagnosed as mature cystic teratoma and nodules showed features Gliomatosis peritonei is characterized by peritoneal or implants glial tissue. GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein) positi...

Median neurofilament and glial fibrillary acidic protein concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of 18 infants with posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation were 20-200 times higher than control values. S-100 protein in cerebrospinal fluid was four times higher than control values. Glial fibrillary acidic protein concentrations correlated with death or disability and with parenchymal lesions b...

The activation of hepatic stellate cells is the conversion of quiescent cells into proliferative, contractile, and fibrogenic myofibroblasts. The alpha-smooth muscle actin is a well known marker of hepatic stellate cells activation. On the other hand, the Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein expression is a key step in the astrocytes differentiation and constitutes the hallmark response of astrocyte...

OBJECTIVE To examine the changes of glial fibrillary acidic protein in the hippocampus after whole brain irradiation of adult rats. METHODS Forty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats (180-220 g weight and 6-8 weeks) were divided into the 9 irradiation subgroups, sham, and control groups. Their whole brain was irradiated by a single dose of 2, 10, and 30 Gy. At one day, one week, and one month after i...

The intermediate filament network of astrocytes includes Glial fibrillary acidic protein (Gfap) as a major component. Gfap mRNA is alternatively spliced resulting in generation of different protein isoforms where Gfapα is the most predominant isoform. The Gfapδ isoform is expressed in proliferating neurogenic astrocytes of the developing human brain and in the adult human and mouse brain. Here ...

A rat model of spinal cord injury was established using the weight drop method. A cavity formed 14 days following spinal cord injury, and compact scar tissue formed by 56 days. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and polymerase chain reaction enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results demonstrated that glial fibrillary acidic protein and telomerase expression increased gradually after injury, peak...
