The lectins Peanut agglutinin (PNA), Canavalia ensiformis (Con A), Ulex europaeus-1 (UEA-1), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Triticum vulgaris (WGA) were studied in a series of 36 meningiomas (16 meningotheliomatous-including 3 recurrences, 7 transitional, 4 angiomatous, 2 "hemangiopericytic", 3 papillary-including 1 recurrence, 4 anaplastic-including 3 recurrences. PNA binds to all cases of meningoth...

The current study emphasizes on routine, mucin and lipid histochemistry procedures to estimate and compare histological hazards in diseased human stone filled and bacterial infections induced hypertrophied gall bladder. 100 normal & 50 (25+25) diseased human gallbladders having cholelithiasis and cholecystitis were chosen for conduction of this study. After proper processing, from each sample 3...

building which the Admiralty acknowledged: "Though science is much respected by their Lordships and your paper is much esteemed, it is too learned." Young was also appointed as Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac and Secretary of the Board of Longitude. In this he was unable to satisfy the demands both of the navigators and of the astronomers, incurring the displeasure of both. A bibliograph...

THE URINARY FUNCTION OF THE KIDNEY. By A. V. Wolf. New York, Grune & Stratton, Inc., 1950. xiii + 363 pp. $7.50. Bold is the renal physiologist who questions today the validity of such concepts as inulin clearance, thresholds, and tubular maxima. Yet Dr. Wolf asserts that the modern theory of renal function, aside from resting on inconclusive fundamental experimental evidence, is misleading as ...

Since the introduction by Jones and Zimmerman (I 959, I 96 I) of a reliable histological scheme for the separate recognition of each of the three major categories of corneal stromal dystrophy, the way has been open for precise characterization of the nature of the lesions in each of these conditions. This has been largely accomplished for the macular and lattice dystrophies, the former having b...

Adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) are extremely rare in infants. Pediatric ACTs are therapeutic and diagnostic challenge because histological criteria for distinguishing benign from malignant tumors seen in adults are not always reliable in children .The aim of this report was to present clinical features, hormonal profile, and histopathological characteristics of an infant with Adrenal tumors. A...

Marrow stromal cells (MSCs, also termed mesenchymal stem cells) have been proposed as a promising cellular therapy for tissue injury including radiation-induced marrow failure, but evidence for a direct effect is lacking. To assess the effects of MSCs on survival after lethal irradiation, we infused syngeneic MSCs (either as immortalized MSCs clones or primary MSCs) intravenously into wild-type...

Masses of homogeneous electron-dense material accumulate in the cytoplasmic inclusions of cultured fibroblasts which have been infected with "wild" and "adapted" strains of human cytomegalovirus. The substance appears to be produced by microtubular membranes and the Golgi apparatus; ultrastructural histochemistry suggests that it is not lysosomal in nature nor is it comprised of lipids or polys...
