Progress in biotechnology has provided useful tools for tracing proteins involved thyroid hormone synthesis vivo. Mono- or polyclonal antibodies are now available to detect on histological sections the Na(+)/I(-) symporter (NIS) at basolateral pole of cell, putative iodide channel (pendrin) apical plasma membrane, thyroperoxidase (TPO), and members NADPH-oxidase family, oxidase 1 2 (ThOXs), part H(2)O(2)-generating system. The aim this study was correlate thyroglobulin (Tg) iodination with...
Hypervitaminosis A-related liver toxicity may be severe and even lead to cirrhosis. In the normal liver, vitamin A is stored in hepatic stellate cells (HSC), which are prone becoming activated acquiring a myofibroblast-like phenotype, producing large amounts of extracellular matrix.In order assess relationship between intake, HSC activation fibrosis, we studied nine biopsies from patients belonging well-characterized series 41 with hepatotoxicity.Fibrosis was underlined by Sirius-red...
Objectives: The development of the scanning system AcuBlade has considerably enhanced carbon dioxide laser energy delivery, improving cutting and ablation modes. can be applied with 2 available high-powered pulsed waves, SuperPulse UltraPulse. This study was conducted to determine whether there are any differences in phonosurgery between UltraPulse lasing applications regard thermal diffusion into surrounding tissues, healing time, clinical results. Methods: Thirteen patients bilateral...
To study the reliability of sentinel node technique (SNT) in management N0 neck patients with supraglottic laryngeal cancer.Patients presenting to our department, between 2001 and 2004, T1-T3 cancer neck, clinically radiologically, were included study. All underwent lymph detection, using hand-held gamma probe followed by bilateral modified radical dissection (MRND) resection primary tumor. We compared results SNT those gold standard MRND for staging neck. The histologic examination was...
Nuclear imaging plays a crucial role in lymphatic mapping of oral cancer. This evaluation represents subanalysis the original multicenter SENT trial data set, involving 434 patients with T1-T2, N0, and M0 squamous cell carcinoma. The impact acquisition techniques, tracer injection timing relative to surgery, causes false-negative rate were assessed.Three 24 hours before all received dose Tc-nanocolloid (10-175 MBq), followed by lymphoscintigraphy. According institutional protocols, underwent...
Case Report A 31-year-old man complained of fatigue, cough, and moderate fever for 2 weeks, hemoptysis the previous day. The physical examination elicited only a few abnormal pulmonary sounds, but there was an abdominal mass in right iliac fossa. WBC normal. helical CT scan arteries showed bilateral emboli upper lower lobes. An solid, lobulated, heterogeneous tumor 11 cm diameter retroperitoneum fossa thrombus inferior vena cava. biopsy obtained surgically; cava neither biopsied nor removed....
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To describe a rare pathology, the liposarcoma of spermatic cord (LSC), and discuss its diagnosis treatment. <b><i>Materials Methods:</i></b> We report case well-differentiated LSC in 61-year-old man. The main complaint was painless enlargement right inguinoscrotal area that appeared 6 months prior to presentation. Ultrasonography showed heterogeneous hyperechogenic mass highly suspicious malignancy. Computed tomography...
In oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), sentinel node biopsy (SNB) was described as a reliable reproductive alternative to elective neck dissection for the staging of clinical N0 T1-T2 patients. The SNB technique in supraglottic laryngeal SCC successfully small series. aim this study is analyze retrospectively results CHU Godinne, determine if may be proposed future multicentral prospective trial.
Abstract Cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) pneumonitis occurs frequently among solid organ transplant recipients and is classically associated with significant viral replication in both blood bronchoalveolar lavage BAL samples. We present a case of 64‐year‐old lung recipient who presented that was diagnosed based on the association inclusion sample, rapid response to ganciclovir, absence other infectious etiology. Surprisingly, we observed very low or undetectable load Diagnosis should rely clinical,...
Therapeutic angiogenesis is the delivery of factors to promote vascular growth and holds promise for treatment ischemic heart conditions. Recombinant protein myocardium by factor-decorated fibrin matrices an attractive approach, thanks ability precisely control both dose duration treatment, use a clinically approved material like fibrin, avoidance genetic modification. Here, we investigated feasibility inducing therapeutic in rat state-of-the-art fibrin-based platform that previously...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Growing teratoma syndrome is a rare that affects patients with nonseminomatous germ-cell tumors (NSGCTs). It characterized by recurrent growing masses appear during or after chemotherapy in the presence of normal levels tumor markers. Histological examination only way to confirm diagnosis. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We present case 36-year-old man who developed curative treatment for NSGCT testicle. His markers...
β-Cell plasticity governs the adjustment of β-cell mass and function to ensure normoglycemia. The study how is controlled identification alternative sources β-cells are active fields research. has been implicated in numerous physiological pathological conditions. We developed a mice model which we induced major atrophy by implanting insulin pellets (IPI) for 7 or 10 days. implants were then removed (IPR) observe timing characteristics regeneration parallel changes glycemia. Following IPR,...
