ganglioneuroblastoma/ドーパミン

A case is described of a patient with a ganglioneuroblastoma, initially located in the right adrenal, which produced an excess of dopamine (7646 and 7959 nmol/24 h), approximately two and a half times the upper limit of the normal daily urine output. The urinary excretion of noradrenaline,

BACKGROUND Ganglioneuroblastomas, particularly those that produce catecholamine, are extremely rare in adults. Here, we report an interesting surgical case of an adult patient with a catecholamine-producing ganglioneuroblastomas in her adrenal gland, suspected to be a pheochromocytoma, and with a

17 commercially available antibodies were applied on formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues of neuroblastomas (NBLs, n = 20), ganglioneuroblastomas (GNBLs, n = 7) and ganglioneuromas (GNs, n = 7), to assess their reliability as markers for neuroendocrine differentiation and the degree of tumor

Eighteen commercially available antibodies were applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded neuroblastomas (NBLs, n = 20), ganglioneuroblastomas (GNBLs, n = 7), and ganglioneuromas (GNs, n = 7) to assess their reliability as markers for neuroendocrine differentiation and degree of tumor cell

The urinary excretion of catecholamines in 13 close relatives of two distantly related patients with congenital neuroblastoma was investigated. One of these relatives was a child with already known ganglioneuroblastoma. The catecholamines noradrenaline and dopamine were determined. Vanilmandelic

We report a 12-year laboratory experience in the diagnosis of 37 patients with phaeochromocytoma, one with malignant paraganglioma and one with ganglioneuroblastoma. Surgery was performed in eight different hospitals, which underlines the difficulty of ensuring uniformity of investigations. Of the

Pediatric patients (to age 18) without neuroblastoma show an age-related decrease in urinary excretion of each of the catecholamines--epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine--in relation to creatinine excretion. From these data, I have developed reference intervals for pediatric age groups.

We report the determination of catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) and their 3-O-methylated metabolites (3-methoxytyramine, normetanephrine, and metanephrine) in urine by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, with use of stable isotopically labeled internal standards. Normal

The analysis of biogenic amines (BAs) and their metabolites is helpful for the diagnosis of central nervous system disorders and other neuroendocrine and cancer disturbances. In the study, a developed micellar electrokinetic chromatography method, coupled with diode array detection (MEKC-DAD), was

Four cases of mixed neuroendocrine-neural tumors composed of pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma elements (including ganglioneuroma and ganglioneuroblastoma) were studied for the presence of catecholamine-synthesizing enzymes, neuroendocrine markers, and peptide hormones with clinicopathological
