Abstract Purpose The craniometrics of head circumference (HC) and ventricular size are part of the clinical assessment of infants with hydrocephalus and are often utilized in conjunction with other clinical and radiological parameters to determine the success of treatment. We aimed to assess the effect of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and shunting on craniometric measurements during the follow-up of a cohort of infants...

Abstract Introduction Neurenteric cysts (NEC) are rare benign tumors of the central nervous system. Even more rare are the NEC at the ventral foramen magnum in children that are misdiagnosed. They cause distortion of the vertebrobasilar vascular system and cervicomedullary neural structures and are adherent to the latter. The inferior portion lies ventral to the upper most dentate ligament. This has implications in the surgical...

Abstract Introduction Quadrigeminal arachnoid cyst (QAC) associated with encephalocele is rare; and while some treatments have been developed in recent years, no definite therapeutic approach for QAC has been established. Endoscopic treatment for arachnoid cyst is gaining popularity because it is relatively less invasive to the normal brain tissues. Case presentation...

Malignant transformation of basal cell adenoma is extremely rare. We report the case of a 63-year-old Chinese woman, who had noticed a slowing growing mass in her right parotid gland with slight pain for 1 month. Based on physical and ultrasound examinations, a diagnosis of benign salivary gland tumour was made before the surgery. A frozen biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was basal cell adenoma, with the tumour cells infiltrating the capsule. Routine histopathological examination was performed...

The Haribo Goldbear's century-old recipe has evolved over time. Today, a gummy in Germany might taste different than one in Singapore, Brazil, or the US. (Stan Horaczek/)A hundred years ago, the first Haribo factory cranked up its confectionery machines on the banks of Germany’s Rhine River. Started by 27-year-old Hans Riegel, the business stayed modest and local—until the founder made a marvelous culinary discovery. The exact formula to his bear-shaped success remains a secret to this day, but it’s...

Background and Objectives. Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a silent disease characterised by aortic wall expansion and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) dedifferentiation from contractile to synthetic phenotype. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in VSMC phenotypic regulation could be considered as potential diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets of TAA. In vitro studies show that lncRNAs CARMN, LUCAT1, MALAT1, and SMILR are associated with the VSMC phenotypic state. Our aim was to...

Background. Breast cancer is the common malignancy with high morbidity and mortality in women. S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) has been characterized to play an oncogenic role in the breast carcinogenesis and progression. Therefore, inactivation of Skp2 in breast cancer might be a novel approach for fighting breast malignancy. A natural compound diosgenin has been reported to exert anticancer activity in a variety of human cancers. However, the underlying mechanism has not been fully determined....

p2 of rice stripe virus may translocate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and recruit nucleolar functions to promote virus systemic movement. Cajal bodies (CBs) are nuclear components associated with the nucleolus, which play a major role in plant virus infection. Coilin, a marker protein of CBs, is essential for CB formation and function. Coilin contains three domains, the N-terminal, the center, and the C-terminal fragments. Using yeast two-hybrid, colocalization, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation...
