Dear Colleagues,
I hope this finds you well.
This is Muhammad Hussam Alothman, a Syrian medical student interested in neuroscience and neurosurgery. I'm getting my MD degree in November 2019.
Despite the scarcity of researches and war settings in Syria, I worked hard during the last three years to enhance my CV as a future neurosurgeon and neuroscientist.
I'm currently a reviewer at the Journal of Medical Case Reports (JMCR). I've got the PHRP, CRT, and IPPCR course certificates online from the NIH. 
I'm also interested in medical neuroscience; especially the fields of neurobiology and neuro-oncology because my long-term goal is to take part in translational researches whereby I can integrate the basic medical sciences and the clinical practice of neurosurgery. 
I'm looking for a post-doctoral fellowship (or research associate) in the fields of neurosurgery or basic medical sciences in the USA. 
I'm looking to start my career with a high-rank institution and I think such opportunity will change my life and become the start point of my career as a future neuroscientist and neurosurgeon. 
I've connected more than 300 professors in the USA for such a position and no positive replies yet.
I've attached my CV and I'm looking enthusiastically for your reply. 
NB: Even if you don't have an opening please review my CV and give me your valuable feedback to strengthen my weak points.
Regards, 
Muhammad Hussam Alothman
University of Hama, Faculty of Medicine, Syria

Answer
Dear Alothman,
First I congratulate you for your motivation of the research. The following important point must be in your mind. There are often times when added research would be required to make it easier for a study to go forward. Your research plans could include an analysis of the methods of study that could work in the future and what points about a topic could be reviewed in such studies. The recommendations that are incorporated into your paper can certainly be important to your work. Be certain when writing your paper that you have clear recommendations that are easy to follow and can be utilized right and are not overly complicated or tough to use in some way.
Regards.

Collaboration is becoming more important over time. The body of scientific knowledge and technology is expanding so rapidly that it’s becoming more difficult for individual investigators to master the essential skills and knowledge necessary to produce currently relevant work.

Does anyone have experience with DSS colitis model?
I want to discuss about the scoring system of DAI, for example, to score the bleeding: I want to score as follow (no bleeding=0, mild-moderate blood pellet = 1, dark red pellet=3, gross bleeding =4 ). However, I couldn't find paper using such system. so is it ok to use my own scoring system or any one have reference for such scoring system? 
Thanks in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Doaa, 
Our lab regularly uses DAI when using the DSS model and published on this a few years ago. 
In it, we make reference to how we evaluate DAI that includes bleeding (In this case, bleeding: 0 (no blood), 1 (Hemoccult positive), 2 (Hemoccult positive and visual pellet bleeding), and 4 (gross bleeding)). 
Hope this helps!

C6 cell line is suitable for the astrocytoma related research in neurooncology.
Relevant answer
Answer
I share neither Anirban's nor Rangarajan's opinions ...
The C6 glioma model in rats is by far too immunogenic and the tumor take never reaches 100%. If you want an agressive model in rat, you can use the 9L gliosarcoma (see the attached article by Lefranc et al., Neurosurgery 2003). In syngeneic mice, you can use the G261 glioma model (see Vershuere et al., Int J Cancer 2015).
With respect to human gliomas, you must use those models that diffusely invade the brain parenchyma, which is never the case with the U87 model. The U87 model is excellent to study anti-angiogenic compounds (Lamour et al., Int J Cancer 2010) but it actually does not mimik what happens in clinics (see Camby et al., JNEN 2002).
The Hs683 oligodendroglioma and the U373 astroglioma models mimik relatively well what happens in clinic, both in terms of spreading in the brain and chemosensitivity (see Branle et al., Cancer 2002; Lefranc et al., Neurosurgery 2008; Mathieu et al., Neoplasia 2008).
Best regards

I have 3 patients with this anatomopathological diagnosis
Relevant answer
Answer
I have been a neuropathologist for over 30 years and I specialize in brain tumor diagnosis, and I have never heard this term either.  I think there is some sort of miscommunication, and as suggested, it can best be cleared up by the person who made the diagnosis.   We would all like follow-up when you get it, I think.

We recently had few cases of uncontrolled hydrocephalus in GBM patients with functioning VP shunt.
Relevant answer
Answer
As a malignant neoplasm, if possible, ETV would be a good solution. Revising the shunt ia always an option, but CSF dissemination and meningeal gliomatose have to be rulled out.

I found Purkinje and pyramidal neurons to be at different developmental stages after intraperitoneal injections of an insecticide (cypermehthrin @ 100mg.kg-1 b. w) in mature rabbits for 2 months. Can we interpret that these brain cells were still dividing in mature rabbits or due to toxicity some other mechanism was operating in the subjects under study?

@Francisco sanchez-bayo: I am glad for the link you provided and also for your interest to help me. Although I am more interested discussion at ResearchGate, but may try to contact Dr Junko Kimura-Kiroda, as well. However, I am still in contact with some professors in my country and waiting their response. Widespread collaboration in science has been made very easy through social media. I also hope different views, suggestions and corrections/remarks/.comments here.

In our hospital set up we come across a lot of brain tumors and to investigate the lesions we go for invasive procedures. I'm in search of literature on brain tumor markers
Relevant answer
Answer
If you're asking about diagnostic markers then the only one for brain tumours is the absence of INI1 on IHC, which gives the diagnosis of ATRT.
There are also obviously combinations of different IHC stains and pathology which are used for brain tumour diagnosis and grading but there is some grey areas here. INI1 is the only one that is "bulletproof".

miR-92b is over expressed in brain primary tumor, and i found that PRMT5 is upregulated in brain primary tumor. The target gene is PRMT5 .
Relevant answer
Answer
PRMT5 has been studied in its role in tumor growth promotion; related to its suppressive effect on transcription of tumor suppressor genes, Rb family, ST7 and nonmetastasing nm23 protein arginine . The overexpression in brain tumor might be accompanied by reduced expression of the functional tumor suppressor proteins.
