Expression pattern of MRPS18 family genes in gliomas.

Aim: To assess expression patterns of MRPS18 family genes in glioblastoma tissues and glioma cell lines.

Materials And Methods: Expression of MRPS18 family genes was analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in glioma cell lines and glioblastoma specimens. A bioinformatic analysis of the publicly available data on the expression of these genes was also provided.

[The efficacy of palliative operations in tumors of the 3rd cerebral ventricle].

Results of treatment of 79 patients with III brain ventricle tumor, whom palliative liquoroshunting operations were conducted, were analysed. In the presence of significant liquorodynamic disturbances all the operations has been trusted their efficacy, and this permitted to prolong the life span of the patients. Liquoroshunting operations can be used as the first stage of treatment in the patients with hypertensive-hydrocephalic syndrome for the general condition stabilization before tumor excision performance.

[The principles and late results of the surgical treatment of chronic subdural hematoma in nursing infants].

Principles of surgical treatment of 68 infants with chronic subdural hematoma are substantiated. Late follow-up results analysis has shown that the application of all of the modern neurosurgical diagnostic methods permits to choose correctly the method of treatment and to prognosticate its result. Result of treatment was not influenced substantially by the hematoma evacuation procedure performance, in 37 patients good result occurred.
