Deep Sylvian fissure meningiomas: A case report.

Background: Deep Sylvian meningiomas are rare and difficult to diagnose when small tumours lead to various symptoms. The difficulty associated with surgery is underestimated. Our case involved a mass (11 mm × 12 mm × 12 mm in size) in the right Sylvian fissure.

[Expression of δ subunit of γ-aminobutyric acid A in hippocampus induced by insular-kindled rats].

Objective: To explore the expression of δ subunit-containing γ-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA)(A) receptors in insular electrical kindled rats and analyze the significance of the findings.

Methods: A total of 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into 3 groups: kindled, sham-operated and control. Kindled group: chronic insular electrical kindled models of rats established by electrical stimulation.
