Abstract α‐ENaC expression and activity is regulated by a variety of hormones including β‐adrenergic agonists via the second messenger cAMP. We evaluated early intermediate pathways involved in up‐regulation SGK1 DbcAMP whether prerequisite for induction expression. Submandibular gland epithelial (SMG‐C6) cells treated with (1 mM) induced both mRNA protein DbcAMP‐stimulated was decreased actinomycin D expressions were attenuated PKA inhibitors (H‐89 KT5720). Inhibition PI3‐K either LY294002...
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) is characterized by formation of recurrent benign tumors described as PTEN soft tissue that may contain fast flow vascular anomalies (FFVA). The purpose this study to review the temporal evolution management FFVA in PHTS. A retrospective 22 patients (9 males), age 1 18 (median 9) years diagnosed with PHTS at a tertiary care pediatric hospital between October 2002 August 2017 revealed 4 FFVA. Imaging, management, treatment...
- Image-guided, fine-needle aspiration-assisted core needle biopsy with an on-site evaluation by a pathologist (FNACBP) of osseous lesions is not common practice in pediatric institutions.- To evaluate the diagnostic adequacy and accuracy FNACBP for to compare procedures that do use aspiration.- Six-year, retrospective review 144 consecutive children biopsied without aspiration assistance.- Pathologic diagnosis was achieved 79% (57 72) biopsies evaluation, 78% (32 41) open (9 intraoperative...
Abstract Background Epithelioid hemangioma is a rare, benign vascular lesion classically presenting with painless nodules in the head and neck region. Hemangioma lesions are typically small, located within dermis subcutaneous tissue, rarely exceed 10 cm size. Complete surgical excision, negative margins, recommended treatment as local recurrence common. We describe an unusual presentation of epithelioid that, to our knowledge, has not been previously described literature, epithelioid. Case...
Portosystemic shunts can serve as a bridge to liver transplantation in patients with end-stage disease by providing portal decompression treat life-threatening variceal bleeding and prevent recurrent episodes until an organ becomes available. The conventional TIPS procedure, however, is technically challenging perform infants due the small size of their intrahepatic vasculature. We report two cases emergent creation portosystemic using technique first case percutaneous DIPS other. Both...
