Does nerve growth factor expression correlate with severity and outcome of traumatic brain injury in children?
NGF concentration in CSF is a useful marker of brain damage following severe TBI and its up-regulation, in the first 48 h after head injury together with lower IL-1beta expression, correlates with a favorable neurologic outcome. Clinical and prognostic information may also be obtained from IL-6 expression.
The decrease of CD10 expression in MECs is associated with a higher risk of relapse in DCIS; this knowledge has the potential to improve DCIS management.
