Onycholemmal carcinoma: a case report
Introduction: Onycholemmal carcinoma is a rare slow-growing malignant epithelial neoplasm originating from nail bed epithelium. Clinical presentations are nonspecific and include warty mass, ulceration, and crust, onycholysis, periungual erythema, edema, and pain. Case Report: Herein, we report a 65-year-old woman with a mass lesion in the second finger of right hand that lasted for 3 years,...
متن کاملP-156: Survey of In Vitro Effect of Resveratrol on Apoptosis of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cells
Background: In apoptosis is physiological cell death which eliminates injured and old cells. Any disruption in apoptosis, leads to disease. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with estrogen-like, antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties; also it showed cell prolifratory and inhibitory effect. The aim of present study was to determine resveratrol effect on apoptosis of human endometrial epith...
متن کاملApoptosis induction of human endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells by noscapine
Objective(s): Endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disease with unknown etiology. Noscapine has been introduced as a cancer cell suppressor. Endometriosis was considered as a cancer like disorder, The aim of present study was to investigate noscapine apoptotic effect on human endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells in vitro. Materials and Methods:In this in vitro study, endometrial biopsie...
متن کاملAnalysis of epithelial mesenchymal transition markers in breast cancer cells in response to stromal cell-derived factor 1
Introduction: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer death; however, the underlying mechanisms of metastasis are largely unknown. The chemokine of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) and the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), both have been declared as important factors to promote cancer metastasis; however, Conspicuously, the relation between them has not been recognized well...
متن کاملThree-dimensional simulation of anisotropic cell-driven collagen gel compaction.
Tissue equivalents (TEs), formed by entrapping cells in a collagen gel, are an important model system for studying cell behavior. We have previously (Barocas and Tranquillo in J Biomech Eng 117:161-170, 1997a) developed an anisotropic biphasic theory of TE mechanics, which comprises five coupled partial differential equations describing interaction among cells and collagen fibers in the TE. The...
