Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of unknown etiology the uterus. stimulated by an excess steroids, disruption apoptotic mechanisms, and local growth factors.We conducted retrospective analysis operative material with leiomyoma reproductive period women uterine body. The study revealed: sharp increase in incidence intramural leiomyoma; Histological structural features are characteristic proliferative...

We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with enlarging, painful upper back mass that had developed 4 days ago. The patient was referred to Emergency Department from primary care facility after ultrasonography showed an ill-defined mass-like lesion in muscle potential for malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging and at Eunpyeong St.Mary’s Hospital revealed hypervascular longitudina...

Diabetic retinopathy is a progressive eye disease and one of the leading causes of blindness all over the world. New blood vessels (neovascularization) start growing at advance stage of diabetic retinopathy known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Early and accurate detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy is very important and crucial for protection of patient's vision. Automated sy...

Paraffin-embedded surgical specimens from 69 patients who underwent resections of otherwise untreated Dukes stage C adenocarcinoma of the colon were examined for proliferative activity, DNA aneuploidy, DNA index, and proportion of aneuploid cells by flow cytometry. Results were correlated to clinical characteristics of the patients and to overall survival times. DNA aneuploid tumors were identi...

Birds adjust their songs to make themselves heard in the presence of ambient noise. New research comparing songs of great tits across Europe shows how animals adapt their signals to the urban din.

Quiescent fibroblasts possess unique genetic program and exhibit high metabolic activity distinct from proliferative fibroblasts. In response to inflammatory stimulation, quiescent fibroblasts are more active in expressing cyclooxygenase-2 and other proinflammatory genes than proliferative fibroblasts. The underlying transcriptional mechanism is unclear. Here we show that phorbol 12-myristate 1...

Previous studies have addressed why and how mono-stratified epithelia adopt a polygonal topology. One major additional, and yet unanswered question is how the frequency of different cell shapes is achieved and whether the same distribution applies between non-proliferative and proliferative epithelia. We compared different proliferative and non-proliferative epithelia from a range of organisms ...

Objective(s):Fumonisins are a group of toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxins, which contaminate the grains and their products. The aim of this study was to examine the apoptotic and proliferative activity of mouse gastric mucosa following administration of fumonisin B1 (FB1).    Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine female mice divided into treatment (n=15) and control (n=14) groups. The treatment gro...

In mammals, growth of long bones occurs at the growth plate, a cartilage structure that contains three principal layers: the resting, proliferative, and hypertrophic zones. The function of the resting zone is not well understood. We removed the proliferative and hypertrophic zones from the rabbit distal ulnar growth plate in vivo, leaving only the resting zone. Within 1 wk, a complete prolifera...
