Abstract

Medulloblastoma is a malignant, invasive embryonal tumor of the cerebellum and accounts for 20% of intracranial tumors in children. QSOX1, whose functions include formation of disulphide bridges, which are needed for correct protein folding and stability, formation of the extracellular matrix, regulation of the redox status and cell cycle control, appears to be involved in apoptosis in pathological states such as cancer. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of QSOX1 in medulloblastomas and nonneoplastic cerebellum. Histology blocks of pediatric medulloblastomas were separated and two representative areas of the tumors and non-neoplastic cerebellum samples were used to construct tissue microarrays (TMAs) that were stained with an anti-QSOX1 antibody, and the slides were read using image analysis software. QSOX1 immunoexpression was observed in the non-neoplastic cerebellum samples and the medulloblastoma samples. There was no statistically significant relationship between QSOX1 immunopositivity in the medulloblastoma samples and the clinical and pathological variables. Although QSOX1 did not prove useful for stratifying patients into risk groups, tumor cells and the fibrillar extracellular matrix were positive for this marker, indicating that this enzyme may be involved in the pathogenesis of medulloblastoma.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 May 2015.
All research outputs
#20,271,607
of 22,803,211 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Pathology
#944
of 1,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#223,640
of 265,147 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Pathology
#47
of 56 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,803,211 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,125 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 265,147 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 56 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
