aneurysmal bone cyst (abc) is a benign expansile bone tumor, most commonly involving the medulla of long bones. abc rarely arises within the cortex or in the subperiosteal region, radiographically mimicking other conditions, in particular surface osteosarcomathat is low-grade in nature and may go secondary abc changes, and telangiectatic osteosarcoma. both of these are sometimes mistaken micros...

BACKGROUND Graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is of critical importance. Various grafts have been used so far, with autografts long considered the optimal solution for the treatment of ACL-deficient knees. Limited data are available on the long-term survivorship of synthetic grafts. PURPOSE To compare the functional outcome and survivorship of ACL reconstructions...

Adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) of the uterine cervix is a rare neoplasm and its cell origin is still controversial. The clinicopathologic features was analyzed in a series of 10 pure ABCs. The immunohistochemistry expression of 3 basal markers including CK5/6, p63 and CAM5.2 was further investigated to explore the cell origin of ABC. The ages of the patients ranged from 56 to 73 years with a mea...

OBJECTIVES Clinicians often base the implementation of therapies on the presence of postural instability in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). These decisions are frequently based on the pull test from the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). We sought to determine whether combining the pull test, the one-leg stance test, the functional reach test, and UPDRS items 27-29 (arise...

Article history: Received on: 04/02/2014 Revised on: 28/02/2014 Accepted on: 12/03/2014 Available online: 28/07/2014 ATPbinding cassette (ABC) transporters are characterized as multi drug resistant transporters utilizing ATP hydrolysis. The SCO5113 (GeneID: 1100554) encoding a multidrug resistance ABC transporter in Streptomyces coelicolor was expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3) plysS, using pET 21 ...

Abacavir (ABC) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients [1]. It has been extensively evaluated in clinical studies and is currently recommended as a preferred or an alternative nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in antiretroviral-naive patients according to international HIV guidelines [101]. It is genera...

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters consist of a family of proteins that translocate substrates against a concentration gradient from the intracellular toward the extracellular milieu. Among the members of the ABC transporter superfamily, P-glycoprotein has been studied most extensively and has been found to be expressed in tissues such as liver, kidneys, and intestines. This suggests a phy...

Introduction: Aneurysmal Bone cysts (ABC) are extremely rare in the head and neck region and even rarer in sinuses.  ABC is a benign multicystic mass that is locally-destructive and rapidly expandable. Hemorrhagic fluid content (like in this case) and septated appearance are the characteristic feature of ABC. Established treatment options for ABCs include sclerotherapy, embolization, radiothera...
