This study was designed to explore the expression and role which FOXG1 plays in human glioma. Methods： We detected the expression of FOXG1 by immunohistochemistry in glioma tissue samples. Following the down-regulation of FOXG1 in glioma cell lines by a specific short hairpin RNA, the function of FOXG1 in proliferation and apoptosis was assessed. Results： Glioma tissues exhibited notably higher expression of FOXG1 compared with control brain tissues and was positively corre- lated with histological malignancy. The down-regulation of FOXG1 in glioma cells led to a cell apoptosis in vitro. Cenclusion： The overexpression of FOXG1 is a novel glioma malignancy marker, and FOXG1 may be used as a new target in therapeutic strategies for human glioma.展开更多

A patient diagnosed as multicentric gliomas is presented in this paper. He was firstly misdiagnosed as cerebral metastatic tumors, but later the histopathological examination revealed them to be glioblastoma （WHO grade IV）. Additionally, the aim of the paper was to describe the case history of the patient and the problems encountered in the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.展开更多
