The reported analysis comprised 81 patients dying of acute non-lymphoblastic leukaemia type M1, M2, M4 and blastic crises in chronic myelocytic leukaemia. It was observed that the number of cases of cerebellar granular layer atrophy rose markedly in the years 1984-1990 as compared with 1976-1983
Twenty-four patients with leukemia or lymphoma refractory to conventional chemotherapy were given a course of systemic, high-dose cytosine arabinoside (3 gm/m2 every 12 hours for twelve doses). Four patients developed cerebellar degeneration during treatment. Ataxia of gait and limb movements,
Progressive atrophy of ileal crypts and villi following daily administration of cytosine arabinoside to mice was found to be the result of suppression of mitosis and marked enhancement of apoptosis in the crypt epithelium. The amount of apoptosis produced by each dose decreased as the atrophy
BACKGROUND
The use of high-dose cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) may be complicated by a characteristic form of cerebellar neurotoxicity. Other reported manifestations of neurologic dysfunction include signs of possible cranial neuropathies, for which a neuropathologic substrate has not been previously
Following gene duplication, mRNA expression of the duplicated gene is reduced to maintain mRNA dosage. In mammals, this process is achieved with increased cytosine DNA methylation of the promoters of duplicated genes to suppress transcriptional initiation. However, not all animal species possess a
BACKGROUND
Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) (a mixture of polysaccharides, amino acids, lipids and minerals derived from cultured mycelia of a Basidiomycete mushroom, Lentinula edodes) was used to assess amelioration of alopecia (hair loss) caused by cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) and
We describe a 34-year-old patient who was admitted with episodic diplopia, ptosis, and swallowing difficulties of 6 months duration. He also had some muscle cramps aggravated by exercise since the age of 20. Bilateral ptosis of the eyelids, normal gaze, rare fasciculations of the tongue, easy
Neurons grown in cultures of dissociated brain cells degenerate when exposed to anoxia and deprived of glucose. We have developed culture systems in which neurons can be grown in the presence or absence of astrocytes and have used them to study the influence of astrocytes on the neuronal
OBJECTIVE
To identify the causative mutations in two early-onset canine retinal degenerations, crd1 and crd2, segregating in the American Staffordshire terrier and the Pit Bull Terrier breeds, respectively.
METHODS
Retinal morphology of crd1- and crd2-affected dogs was evaluated by light microscopy.
On growing the cells of Bacillus brevis S methionine-auxotroph mutant in the presence of [Me-3H]methionine, practically all the radioactivity incorporated into DNA is found to exist in 5-methylcytosine and N6-methyladenine. The analysis of pyrimidine isopliths isolated from DNA shows that
OBJECTIVE
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), also known as Kennedy disease, is a rare neurodegenerative disorder presenting with insidious onset of weakness in bulbar and limb muscles. Information regarding long-term clinical and functional progression has been limited, especially for the
In a previous work, we described the possible relationship between a defect of purine-cytosine permease and the acquisition of a cross-resistance to the antifungal combination flucytosine (5FC) and fluconazole (FLC) in Candida lusitaniae (T. Noël, F. François, P. Paumard, C. Chastin, D. Brethes, and
