BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumors (PTs) represent uncommon fibroepithelial lesions of the breast that express c-Kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha, similar to gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). 'Activating' mutations in these genes underlie responsiveness of GISTs to imatinib. Standard treatment for breast PTs is wide local excision, with no role for targeted therapies. PAT...

There is still controversy regarding the role of circulating endothelial and progenitor cells (CECs/CEPs) in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Using a sequential Boolean gating strategy based on a 4-color flow cytometric protocol, an increased number of CD31(pos)/CD184(pos)(CXCR4)/CD34(pos)/CD45(pos) and CD31(pos)/CD117(pos) (c-kit-R) /CD34(pos)/ CD45(pos) hematopoietic circulating ...

Autoimmune diseases currently take a leading place in terms of frequency occurrence the population, among which 1 percent is occupied by rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Remission this type disease extremely rare and requires constant use pharmacotherapy. Studying pathogenesis RA necessary to study search for new drug targets. It known that T helpers (Th) Th17 are involved development RA. However, so...

Introduction and Aim: GI stromal tumours (GISTs) being most frequent mesenchymal of the alimentary tract have few studies on epidemiology in this subcontinent. The current prospective study is aimed at gathering data molecular possible effect markers standard pathological prognostic factors also to measure overall disease outcome.
