Background: One of the most important issues in the treatment of autoimmune thyroid diseases is the choice of tactics of the physician in relation to high levels of antithyroid antibodies. Do they actively eliminate them from the body or not? We belong to the group of researchers who believe that the antithyroid antibody titer has a significant effect on the activity of the autoimmune process a...

Four cases of esophageal carcinoma in which the invasion is limited to the mucosal layer (m-carcinoma) and 7 cases of it in which the invasion invades the submucosal layer (sm-carcinoma) are studied. In the cases of m-carcinoma, both lymphatic invasion and blood vessel invasion were not found. On the other hand, lymphatic invasion was noted in 4 cases among 7 cases of sm-carcinoma, and in these...

In work on Wistar rats with experimental crush syndrome and acute alcohol intoxication shown that alterations of «metabolic profile» are stipulated by the lymphatic system, which emerges as an active component to urgent adaptation in critical situations. It is shown by the expressed infringements of an exchange of electrolytes in plasma. lymph and myocardium at the rats, that can make a part of...

Introduction: The lymphatic system provides one of the main paths for the spread (Metastasis) of cancer from one part of body to another. Hodgkin’s diseases, lymphocytic leukemia, various metastatic disease and many lymph node disorders can be assessed by lymphoscintigraphy. Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy has been used for many years to define lymphatic drainage of melanoma. The most com...

conclusions: lymphatic metastasis in patients with oral and maxillofacial scc is closely related to the positive expression of vegf, mmp-9 and timp-2. mmp-9 and timp-2 can affect the progression of cancer, which is valuable for studies on oral and maxillofacial scc genes. objectives: to explore the association between expression of vegf, mmp-9 and timp-2 in oral and maxillofacial scc and clinic...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS  Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) enables real-time optical biopsy. Little is known about pCLE imaging deep inside the small bowel, therefore the aim of this study was to determine its usefulness. PATIENTS AND METHODS  Between April 2014 and January 2016, we performed 38 pCLE examinations during double-balloon enteroscopy with intravenous fluorescein ...

OBJECTIVE MicroRNA-126 (miR-126) is an endothelium-enriched miRNA and functions in vascular integrity and angiogenesis. The application of miRNA as potential biomarker and therapy target has been widely investigated in various pathological processes. However, its role in lymphatic diseases had not been widely explored. We aimed to reveal the role of miR-126 in lymphangiogenesis and the regulato...
