Prenatal diagnosis of hemivertebrae--A likely association with 7q deletion.
Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol
February 2016
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between a prenatal case of hemivertebrae and a deletion on chromosome 7 (7q36).
- Genetic testing revealed a 6.4 Mb deletion in the fetus, correlating with the condition.
- The findings suggest that specific genes within the deletion region could be associated with hemivertebrae, supporting potential genetic influences on this developmental abnormality.
Article Synopsis
- Mitochondrial ferritin (MtFt) is crucial for preventing damage in the brain by regulating iron levels, which is important in conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
- Reducing MtFt expression increases neurotoxicity and oxidative stress when exposed to Aβ(25-35), while increasing MtFt levels provides protective effects against this toxicity.
- The study suggests that targeting MtFt could be a new strategy for neuroprotection in Alzheimer's disease through its effects on specific signaling pathways.

Guang Pu Xue Yu Guang Pu Fen Xi
May 2011
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the absorption and fluorescence properties of Rhodamine 101 dye in methanol and acidic methanol, measuring lifetimes and spectra.
- The research includes the assignment of vibrational modes using Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectrum, and computational methods.
- The findings offer valuable insights for using Rhodamine 101 in applications like dye-sensitized solar cells and biological markers.
Age-dependent expression of hephaestin in the brain of ceruloplasmin-deficient mice.
J Trace Elem Med Biol
October 2009
Aceruloplasminemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ceruloplasmin (CP) gene. It is characterized by iron accumulation in the brain and in visceral organs. However, little is known about the mechanism of iron transport in these regions.
