CASE REPORT We report an unusual case of a 45-year-old-male with primary isolated localization of spinal intradural extramedullary cysticercosis at thoracic 3/4 level. The lesion was surgically addressed to decompress the cord in combination with administration of oral albendazole. The weakness improved after treatment but the pain and numbness persisted. The available treatment options, diagnostic strategies and the pathophysiology of this rare condition are discussed here with a brief review of literature. CONCLUSIONS Clinicians should be aware of the diagnostic possibility of such a rare pathology. Neurosurgeons may face surgical challenges due to dense arachnoiditis associated with the degenerating lesion which may also account for the incomplete resolution of the symptoms even after treatment.

Postoperative radiotherapy (RT) could improve survival, but curative RT may induce delayed life-threatening radiation-induced liver damage. Because RT inhibits liver regeneration, we hypothesized that unirradiated, transplanted hepatocytes would proliferate preferentially in a partially resected and irradiated liver, providing metabolic support. We subjected F344 rats to hepatic RT and partial hepatectomy with/without a single intrasplenic, syngeneic hepatocyte transplantation. Hepatocyte transplantation ameliorated radiation-induced liver damage and improved survival of rats receiving RT after partial hepatectomy. We further demonstrated that transplanted hepatocytes extensively repopulate and function in a heavily irradiated rat liver.

The track of the hotspot has been defined by the time-transgressive migration of caldera forming volcanic centres; a distance of 700 km north-eastward to the present Yellowstone volcanic field since 16 Ma (Pierce and Morgan, 1992). The passage of

The regenerative potential of liver cells offers many opportunities for genetic manipulations and cell transplantation research. The general consideration is that use of mature hepatocytes or stem/progenitor cells for this purpose will provide effective ways to ameliorate specific diseases. Recent progress in various aspects
