Enhanced proliferation and potassium conductance of Schwann cells isolated from NF2 schwannomas can be reduced by quinidine.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disease that is characterized mainly by schwannomas, as well as menigiomas and gliomas. The NF2 gene product merlin/schwannomin acts as a tumor suppressor. Schwann cells derived from NF2 schwannomas showed an enhanced proliferation rate, and

Melanocytic schwannoma: the cytologic aspect in fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC): report of a case located in the spinal cord.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe a case of intramedullary melanocytic schwannoma (MS) studied by means of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The main cytologic features were (1) large three-dimensional clusters overshadowed by heavy pigment deposits which tested positive for Fontana Masson (and bleached with

Abnormal pigmentation of schwannoma attributed to excess production of neuromelanin-like pigment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Five cases of non-melanotic pigmented schwannoma with excess accumulation of neuromelanin are presented. The tumors were composed basically of spindle or fusiform tumor cells, compatible with those of classical schwannoma, together with varying numbers of tumor cells containing various amounts of

Tc-99m MIBI brain SPECT of cerebellopontine angle tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

To prospectively evaluate the imaging feasibility of Tc-99m sestamibi brain SPECT of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors, seven patients with CPA lesions seen on CT or MRI and five normal control subjects underwent brain SPECT using a triple-headed camera. Five of these patients had acoustic

Cancer, Adrenal

The adrenal is an endocrine organ which has two physiological functions. The outer adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones, including glucocorticoids such as cortisol, and mineralocorticoids (aldosterone, and the androgen dehydroepiandrosterone. The glucocorticoids play a role in carbohydrate,

An in vitro model system to study gene therapy in the human inner ear.

Only registered users can translate articles

The confined fluid-filled labyrinth of the human inner ear presents an opportunity for introduction of gene therapy reagents designed to treat hearing and balance dysfunction. Here we present a novel model system derived from the sensory epithelia of human vestibular organs and show that the tissue

"Reversed polarization" of Na/K-ATPase-a sign of inverted transport in the human endolymphatic sac: a super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) study.

Only registered users can translate articles

The human endolymphatic sac (ES) is believed to regulate inner ear fluid homeostasis and to be associated with Meniere's disease (MD). We analyzed the ion transport protein sodium/potassium-ATPase (Na/K-ATPase) and its isoforms in the human ES using super-resolution structured illumination

Ménière's Disease Pathophysiology: Endolymphatic Sac Immunohistochemical Study of Aquaporin-2, V2R Vasopressin Receptor, NKCC2, and TRPV4.

Only registered users can translate articles

Objectives Endolymphatic sac (ELS) pathophysiology in Ménière's disease (MD) remains poorly understood. We identified from the literature a group of proteins expressed on the ELS and involved in endolymph volume regulation: aquaporin-2 (AQP2), vasopressin receptor V2R, sodium potassium chloride

Gene transfer in human vestibular epithelia and the prospects for inner ear gene therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Transfer of exogenous genetic material into the mammalian inner ear using viral vectors has been characterized over the last decade. A number of different viral vectors have been shown to transfect the varying cell types of the nonprimate mammalian inner ear. Several routes of delivery have been
