Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-GT1a IgG in Guillain-Barré syndrome
TL;DR: Thin-layer chromatography with immunostaining showed that GT1a is present in human oculomotor and lower cranial nerves, providing further evidence that anti-GT1a IgG itself can determine clinical manifestations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Using data obtained from a larger number of disease cases, it is confirmed that tau protein levels in cerebrospinal fluids in Patients with CBD are significantly higher than those in patients with PSP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle weakness in Parkinson's disease : Isokinetic study of the lower limbs
TL;DR: Patients with symptoms completely or largely confined to one side and compared sides for each patient suggested that weakness is inherent to Parkinson’s disease and influenced by movement speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is IgG anti-GT1a antibody associated with pharyngeal–cervical–brachial weakness or oropharyngeal palsy in Guillain–Barré syndrome?
TL;DR: The findings indicate that IgG anti-GT1a antibodies which do not cross-react with GQ1b are specifically detectable in PCB and can be used as a diagnostic marker of PCB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aprataxin, the causative protein for EAOH is a nuclear protein with a potential role as a DNA repair protein
Yasuteru Sano,Hidetoshi Date,Shuichi Igarashi,Osamu Onodera,Mutsuo Oyake,Toshiaki Takahashi,Shintaro Hayashi,Mitsunori Morimatsu,Hitoshi Takahashi,Takao Makifuchi,Nobuyoshi Fukuhara,Shoji Tsuji,Shoji Tsuji +12 more
TL;DR: The results strongly support the possibility that aprataxin and XRCC1 constitute a multiprotein complex and are involved in single‐strand DNA break repair, and furthermore, that accumulation of unrepaired damaged DNA underlies the pathophysiological mechanisms of EAOH.
