To study viability and activity of isolated common carp, Cyprinus carpio, ovarian follicular cells (granulosa and theca cells), 17- α -Hydroxy progesterone (17 α -OHP) and 17 β -Estradiol (E2) levels were estimated in the culture media of cultivated carp ovarian follicular cells, using radioimmunoassay (RIA). Oocytes were isolated from the ovaries of female carp. Interstitial tissue was manua...

AIM To determine diagnostic relevance of cytologic subclassification of follicular lesions of the thyroid and its role in the therapeutic approach. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of the data of patients who underwent thyroid surgery at the Sisters of Mercy University Hospital, Zagreb, between March 1995 and February 2001, and had a report of preoperative fine needle aspiration ...

Background: Adiponectin is an adipocytokines which is secreted from the adipose tissue of human and domestic animals. No information is available regarding the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in dairy cows. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in different-sized follicles in the luteal phase of the estrous cycle in ...

Among cysts of inflammatory origin, radicular and follicular are most often found in children. Follicular with a frequency 35.5-42% among all odontogenic between the ages 7 14 years. It was that localization cyst depends on age: children, lower premolars (20.8%) upper canines (10%) more causal, adults, third molars (23.3%) (18.3 %). Cysts from rudiments deciduous teeth quite rare [1].

background: fine needle aspiration (fna) has led to a decrease in unnecessary surgeries for thyroid nodules. this study was designed to compare diagnostic value of fna and frozen section methods in the follicular lesions. methods: this is a cross-sectional study based on the medical records of 42 patients who were referred to surgery clinic of rasool-e-akram hospital in tehran with complaint of...

follicular thyroid carcinoma (ftc) is the second most common type of thyroid cancer after papillary carcinoma. it usually grows slowly and is clinically indolent; but rarely, its aggressive forms with distant metastases can occur. we report here an uncommon case of bilateral orbital metastasis of ftc. a 70-year-old woman presented with bilateral exophtalmus and past medical history of thyroid n...

BACKGROUND Follicular lymphoma, the neoplastic counterpart of germinal center B cells, typically recapitulates a follicular architecture. Several observations point to the crucial role of the cellular microenvironment in the development and/or progression of follicular lymphoma cells in vivo. The aim of our study was to characterize the spontaneous apoptosis of follicular lymphoma cells in vitr...

In situ follicular lymphoma, more recently known as follicular lymphoma-like B cells of uncertain/undetermined significance is well accepted. However, the morphological criteria have evolved since it was first described and data are limited and conflicting regarding its clinical implications and whether the extent of involvement predicts an association with overt lymphoma. It is also unknown ho...

The number of ovulated oocytes is different among mammals but does not vary much within the same species. In order to sustain periodic ovulation, follicular development must be coordinated at the tissue level. Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of follicular development is difficult because the ovary has a complicated structure and it takes a long time for primordial follicles to develop int...
