Cytokine accumulations in CSF of multiple sclerosis patients: frequent detection of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor but not interleukin-6.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Multiple sclerosis (MS) registries can provide valuable insights into the natural history of MS. Key observational findings of the registries include MS patient disability progression rate, predictors of increased disability, and changes in lifespan. MS registries have been established in Canada, the United ...

abstract：:Recent genetic studies show that the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele (ApoE-epsilon 4) is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). If ApoE-epsilon 4 individuals develop AD as they get older, we would expect a decrease in ApoE-epsilon 4 allele frequency with increasing age. We found a marked decline in ApoE-epsilon...
