Little is known about management practices that can simultaneously improve soil and environmental quality and sustain crop yields. The effects of novel and traditional management practices that included a combination of tillage, crop rotation, and N fertilization on soil C and N, global warming potential (GWP), greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI), and malt barley (Hordeum vulgarie L.) yield and qua...

BACKGROUND To analyze clinical features and to discuss the modality of investigation and treatment of a series of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas. To investigate the prevalence of aberrant promoter methylation, responsible for gene inactivation, in a selected panel of genes potentially involved in the pathogenesis of B-cell malignancies as O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransfera...

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is rarely observed in the gallbladder, and its diagnosis before surgery is difficult. This report describes a case of primary MALT lymphoma of the gallbladder in an 80-year-old man. Imaging studies revealed a protruding lesion on the inside of the gallbladder, which led us to diagnose gallbladder carcinoma prior to the patient undergoing extende...

4Department of Pathology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA. xtranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, or MALT lymphoma, is a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma associated with chronic inflammation. It typically occurs in the gastric mucosa or the thyroid parenchyma, and is rarely reported in the breast [1]. Histologically, MALT lymphoma is characterized by heterogeneous...

Primary tracheal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is extremely rare. We report a 49-year-old female patient with the complaint of dyspnea. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed polypoid, variable-sized and irregular nodules causing narrowing of the tracheal lumen from the proximal trachea to the left main bronchus. Because of severe stenosis in the airway and the severity of symptoms,...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different starch liberation and saccharification methods on microbiological contamination of distillery mashes. Moreover, the effect of hop α-acid preparation for protection against microbial infections was assessed. The quality of agricultural distillates was also evaluated. When applying the pressureless liberation of starch (PLS) and mal...

Introduction: Pulmonarymucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (P-MALT) lymphomais a relative rare pulmonary disease. The purpose of our report is to characterize the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of P-MALT lymphoma. Case report: We reported a case with a history of cough, expectoration, night sweat and multiple lung nodules on chest computer tomography. The pathological analysis of the lung biop...

A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with an ulcerated palate mass and swelling of the right parotid gland. Incisional biopsy from the hard palate revealed an extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, also called mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Final diagnosis was MALT lymphoma of the parotid gland with concomitant involvement of an extremely seldom site of involv...

The presentation of a MALT lymphoma in the bladder is exceedingly rare. Furthermore, the optimal treatment of primary MALT confined to the bladder remains to be defined. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old female with primary MALT lymphoma treated with definitive radiation therapy. The patient received a total dose of 30 Gy in 20 equal daily fractions to the bladder and tolerated the treatm...

Esophageal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a very rare disease, and the clinical characteristics have not been clearly defined. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been introduced for the treatment of a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, but its therapeutic potential for MALT lymphoma remains uncertain. Here we report a case of primary esophageal MALT lymphoma. A 48-y...
