1. Some neoplastic cells are more elongated and astrocytic.

2. The capillary endothelium and the astrocytic sheath form the blood-brain barrier.

3. RESULTS: 6 OHDA decreased astrocytic glutamate uptake in a concentration dependent manner, but it had no effect on inducing glutamate release from astrocytes.

4. The degree of astrocytic swelling were gradually declined with prolonging survival time.

5. Direct evidence of astrocytic modulation in the development of rewarding effects induced by drugs of abuse.

6. Conclusion: The peritumoral edema on MRI in supratentorial astrocytic gliomas can reflect the positive expression rate of P53 protein.

7. Objective: To investigate the relationship between the spinal astrocytic activation and neuropathic pain behavior in L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) rats.

8. Results staining SP methods can help to definitive the histological type and differentiation of astrocytic tumor.

9. In young patients with vitreous hemorrhage and specific cutaneous lesions, tuberous sclerosis with retinal astrocytic hamartoma may be considered.

10. ADC values and FA values may be predictive of astrocytic tumor classification.

11. Methods The various microvessel "hot spot" areas based on the morphological features were selected from 45 cases of human astrocytic tumor specimens, and were used to construct tissue microarrays.

12. RESULT:The signal intensity on MRI feature have relation with the pathological grade of astrocytic gliomas.

13. Immunohistochemical ABC method was employed to investigate the immunoreactive changes of astrocytic bodies and processes for glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) in the central visual brain regions.

14. Conclusion This study demonstrates the potential of MRS to preoperatively diagnose astrocytic tumors.

15. One of many implications of this work is that any disruption of astrocytic function will compromise blood flow at critical times during brain activity.

16. Another barrier to water-soluble drugs is the glial connective tissue cells (astrocytes),(Sentencedict) which form an astrocytic sheath close to the basement membrane of the capillary endothelium.

17. CONCLUSION:The seizure can be enhanced by CBX pretreatment and it may relate with astrocytic hyperplasia and the increasing expression of Cx43 in astrocytes.

18. Objective:To study the relationship between telomerase activity and S phase fraction in the astrocytic tumors, and to investigate the cell cycle regulation of telomerase activity in malignant tumors.

19. Objective The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between malignancy of astrocytic tumors and cathepsins B and L.

20. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 67 cases of intracranial astrocytic tumor afteroperation were analyzed.

21. Results: The expression indexes of VEGF and PAR-1 between the astrocytic tissues and the normal brain tissues were of statistical difference.
