Unilateral mydriasis as the primary sign of neurosyphilis
Syphilis can mimic most ocular disorders, and there is no characteristic to distinguish ocular syphilis from other eye diseases. We report a rare case of a 41-year-old man who presented with an Adie’s-like pup...

Acetylcholinesterase expression mediated by c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase pathway during anticancer drug-induced apoptosis
It has been shown that acetylcholinesterase (AChE) expression was induced during apoptosis and the anti-sense oligonucleotides and siRNA of AChE may prevent apoptosis in various cell types. However, the mechan...
