Long-term ethanol exposure has deleterious effects on both glial and neuronal function. We assessed alterations in both astrocytic and neuronal viability, and alterations in N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) function, in cocultures of rat cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) and astrocytes after continuous ethanol exposure (CEE). Treatment of cells with 100 mM EtOH once every 24 h for 4 days resulted in a mean ethanol concentration of 57.

Article Synopsis
  • * This study compares a modified quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay with a capillary electrophoresis assay to detect NPM1 mutations in 207 patient samples.
  • * The qPCR assay showed better sensitivity and fewer ambiguous results than the capillary method, making it a faster, cheaper, and more effective option for monitoring the disease.
