•A histologically low-grade cervical clear cell lesion was observed.•Proliferating cells were seen only at the periphery of this lesion.•Due to its low proliferation index, this may represent a precursor of clear cell carcinoma.•Further definition of such lesions may allow for more minimal management.

Abstract Atherosclerosis activates the immune system, including B cells which secrete antibodies that bind antigens released by necrotic within plaques and may promote inflammation. To identify these antibodies, we isolated activated from atherosclerotic ApoE-deficient mice aortas human tibial arteries with peripheral artery disease post-amputation. Single-cell sequencing of cell receptors iden...

Purpose. Clear cell chondrosarcoma is a rare variant of chondrosarcoma. Six cases are herein reported.Subjects. We have treated six patients with clear cell chondrosarcoma in the past 28 years, representing 1.6% of all chondrosarcomas seen in this time period.Results and Discussion. Half the patients had been initially underdiagnosed and inappropriately treated.Conclusions. Our results and our ...

Introduction: Carotid atherosclerosis is one of the main causes ischaemic stroke. The study verified hypothesis on relationship between expression selected inflammatory markers and stability atherosclerotic plaque in stroke patients. Aim: aim was to determine CCL3 CCL5 levels both plasma carotid plaques relation history stroke, as well assess morphology stability. Materials methods: chemokines ...

in the present study, variation among different bacterial strains was observed in the plaques of tobacco chewers (tc) as compared to those from normal persons (non tobacco chewers) (ntc). bacterial strain j1 (dominant in the plaques of ntc) did not initiate the process of adhesion (biofilm formation) until it appeared to have reached a required population density necessary for the production of...
