Porokeratoma is a rare, relatively newly described and still unclear entity. Here, we describe the case of a 52-year-old male patient who presented with four well-defined, verrucous and hyperkeratotic lesions. Microscopically, one of the lesions showed acanthopapillomatosis overlying compact orthokeratosis. Prominent broad and confluent cornoid lamellae were present, with no granular layer and ...

The need of aquarists for proper and safe disinfection of fish with Chloramine-T (CL-T) necessitates toxico/pathologic examinations.   This study assays toxicity level of CL-T and histopathologic changes of gills, liver, kidney and brain of treated zebrafish (Danio rerio). Groups of 10 Zebrafish were treated with 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, 30, 50,100 and 200 mg/L of CL– T. Mortality was recorded a...

Grape is one of the oldest tree species in world which have a relatively high tolerance to salt stress. The function Suberin Lamella control transport water and ions, has positive effect on tolerance. However, whether suberin lamella grape root related its salt-tolerance not been revealed. In this study, roots two varieties, "Crimson seedless" "1103p", were stained by FY0888. Results showed tha...

A new scorpion species, Tityus (Tityus) grottoedensis sp. nov., is herein described based on male and female specimens collected in El Edén Cave and its vicinities (Tolima department, Colombia). The new species, which becomes the first scorpion described from a Colombian cave, is probably a eutroglophile or subtroglophile element; however, additional studies are needed to determine the degree o...

Porokeratosis is a skin disorder clinically characterized by annular plaques with keratotic borders resembling the Great Wall of China and histopathologically by cornoid lamellae. The disease has several clinical variants. Porokeratosis ptychotropica, which has recently become part of these variants, is quite rare and little known. The entity is characterized by verrucous plaques - which may re...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors examined the detailed anatomy of the anterior lamella microscopically during 28 cases of primary double eyelid surgery. Three cadaveric dissections were performed adjunctively to compare the dynamic status in the upper lids. Subdermal tissue components and tissue changes in the upper lids were observed in 64 eyelids from secondary revisional cases who had perf...
