Purpose.: Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a reversible post-translational modification that requires the contribution of enzymes poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and glycohydrolase (PARG). Our study explores expression activity PARP-1 PARG in uveal melanoma cell lines with varying tumorigenic properties. Methods.: Gene profiling on microarrays was conducted using RNA prepared from T97, T98, T108, T115. The monitored by enzymatic assays, whereas their measured Western blot PCR. promoter...
We present an unusual case of myiasis involving the orbital cavity.Our patient had undergone exenteration one month prior to presentation. Post-operatively, he presented with multiple, highly mobile larvae in cavity. The species was identified be Lucilia sericata, known commonly as blowfly. maggots were removed mechanically.The cavity subsequently healed rapidly without sequalae. This raised question whether L. sericata may have beneficial effects healing process.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease with an unknown etiology. It most commonly affects young and middle-aged females. can affect any organ, but mostly lung, skin, eyes. Up to half of patients are asymptomatic the often detected incidentally on abnormal chest radiography. We report case 31-year-old male bilateral recurrent dacryostenosis. The nasolacrimal obstruction was initial manifestation systemic sarcoidosis.
It is important to differentiate cochlear implant candidates with profound sensorineural hearing loss from those mixed loss. The latter include patients far advanced otosclerosis and chronic otitis media who may be better treated ossiculoplasty conventional amplification than implantation. Otologists have observed that a dentally placed tuning fork can heard by some whose thresholds are beyond the limits of bone oscillator on mastoid. We hypothesized forks able deliver strongerintensity...
