A neuroendocrine and neuronal protein, chromogranin A (CgA) has been detected in both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. In dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), CgA levels in CSF are increased. On the other hand, the CSF levels of CgA in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) were not different from those of controls. The present study was undertaken to examine whether CgA in CSF can be used as a specific marker for neurodegenerative disorders. CgA levels in CSF from 11 patients with PSP, 12 patients with DAT, 8 patients with corticobasal degeneration (CBD), and 25 normal controls (NC) were measured by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of CgA in the CSF of patients with PSP, DAT, and CBD were not different from those of NC. There were no significant differences in the mean +/- standard deviation of the CgA levels in CSF among these groups. These results suggest that the CgA levels in CSF of PSP patients are similar to those in NC and that CgA in CSF cannot be used as a specific marker for PSP.Q:
Migrating from JavaScript to Ruby on Rails. How do I handle JavaScript?
I'm currently learning Ruby on Rails and have been using Ruby to construct web pages (well, mostly) since 1996. I'm new to Rails (v2.0.2) and have been having a hard time trying to understand how all of these new tools work. For example, I can't get a barebones "Hello World" application to work. It's a fairly simple rails 2.0.2 application, using JavaScript (jQuery), but I can't figure out how to use things like erb and get the index page to show up. I'm also having a hard time understanding the Model/View/Controller structure. So I could probably just write a simple Rails app, but I would like to learn, so it would be great if someone could help me get started. The example app I'd like to use is something be359ba680
