Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates surgical outcomes of endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for craniopharyngiomas (CPs) in adults, comparing patients aged 18-64 years (nonelderly) to those 65 and older (elderly) between 2013 and 2022.
  • - Out of 193 patients, the elderly group exhibited higher rates of preoperative memory impairment, fatigue, hypopituitarism, and hydrocephalus, as well as longer symptom duration and greater comorbidity scores.
  • - Post-surgery, the elderly had a slightly lower rate of gross-total resection and a higher incidence of pneumonia, but no significant differences were found in surgery time, blood

The title compound, C(13)H(14)N(2)O(2), an isoxazol-5-one derivative, was synthesized by a one-pot, three-component condensation reaction of methyl acetoacetate, hydroxy-lamine hydro-chloride and 4-(dimethyl-amino)benzaldehyde. All the non-H atoms are co-planar [r.m.

We established explant primary cultures in order to study the growth and hormone responsiveness, and the differentiation process of prostatic epithelial cells. Cell outgrowth was achieved from explant tissue by using a new DU145-cell-conditioned medium and special plastic coverslips. To define the present model, proliferation assays were tested by [3H]thymidine assay and planimetric analysis.

Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) has paracrine properties in the human prostate which stimulate epithelial cell growth. Activins have profound effects on cell growth and function in the human prostate, and are expressed in LNCaP, DU 145 and PC3 cells. LNCaP cells were characterized by immuncytochemistry, an immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction.
