The cell-based therapy for cartilage or bone requires a large number of cells; serial passages of chondrocytes are, therefore, needed. However, fates of expanded chondrocytes from extra fingers remain unclarified. The chondrocytes from human epiphyses morphologically changed from small polygonal cells to bipolar elongated spindle cells and to large polygonal cells with degeneration at early pas...

Human macronuclear spermatozoa (also termed large-headed or macrocephalic spermatozoa) are tetraploid and represent a mammalian model of meiotic division deficiency (MDD). Their genetic origin is strongly suggested by the existence of familial cases. They arise from spermatocytes I with a blockage of organelle displacement at the pachytene stage which disables the assembly of a bipolar meiotic ...

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare aggressive sarcoma with characteristic clinical and pathologic features. It typically involves pelvic and abdominal organs of young male patients, and patients usually present at advanced stage with poor prognosis. A few reports are available describing the cytopathologic features of DSRCT in serous effusions, with the majority of published ...

Myopericytoma is a benign tumor that is composed of myoid-appearing oval to spindle-shaped cells with a concentric perivascular pattern of growth. The tumor is morphologically heterogeneous and can exhibit a broad histologic spectrum. We describe a case of multiple myopericytoma occurring in the head and neck skin region with involvement of the parotid gland where it is known to occur very rare...

Intelligent knowledge based system (IKBS) is developed for optimizing dry CNC turning process using Taguchi method, CNC Machine, EN19 steel as the work piece material, andCutting Insert. Tool wear and spindle loading which are the machining parameters, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, areoptimized through the intelligent knowledge based system (IKBS). The experimental CNC turning mac...

Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma (SRMS) is a rare and new type of rhabdomyosarcoma. SRMS in lung is extremely rarely. Here we report on a first explicit case of SRMS in lungs of a 13-year-old girl. Macroscopic examination showed a tumor (65 mm×17 mm×9 mm) with a solid gray-white cut surface which displays invasive growth but was well-circumscribed. Histologically, tumor cells were formed with spin...

A blue nevus is a benign melanocytic lesion that is composed of spindle-shaped pigmented melanocytes. Although the uterine cervix is believed to be the most common extracutaneous location of blue nevi, the occurrence of these lesions in the endometrial stroma has been reported, albeit rarely. The present study describes a case of endometrioid adenocarcinoma concurrent with a blue nevus of the e...

Mutations in the Start class of cell division cycle genes (CDC28, CDC36 and CDC39) define the point in the G1 phase of the vegetative cycle at which the cell becomes committed to completing another round of cell division. Genetic, cytological and biochemical data demonstrate that these mutations cause meiotic cells to become arrested at pachytene following completion of both chromosomal DNA rep...

in descriptive statistics, there are two computational algorithms for determining the variance s2, of a set of observations : algorithm 1: s2= - , algorithm 2: s2= , where . it is interesting to discuss, which of the above formulas is numerically more trustworthy in machine numbers sets. i this paper, based on total effect of rounding error, we prove that the second algorithm is better than ...
