Introduction: Most B-cell malignancies are diagnosed based on morphologic and immunohistochemical criteria. Some cases, however, still present a challenge for the pathologist to discriminate between reactive hyperplasia and neoplastic disorders. Molecular techniques can be used as a helpful diagnostic tool in these cases. In this study, we assessed the value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) t...

The concept of precision agriculture emerged from the belief that variability of growing conditions is one of the major contributors to field-scale differences in yield, and that varying the agricultural inputs according to local changes in soil properties could be beneficial. Many producers have already accumulated a yield history from several growing seasons. However, to engage in an effectiv...

Results: Mean age of the children in the obese group (n= 27) was 8.1 ± 2.6 while that in the non-obese group (n= 71) was 8.6 ± 2.9 (p= 0.41). Asthma symptom score in obese and non-obese groups were not significantly different (p= 0.73). Children in the obese group had lower ACQ scores when compared to the non-obese group (1.2 ± 0.9 vs 1.7 ± 1.0, p= 0.04) however this significance was lost when ...

Abstract We report eight cases of oropharyngeal carcinoma in which ultrasound-guided percutaneous distal glossopharyngeal nerve (GPN) block was performed for pain relief. Mean age the patients 52 ± 11.5 [SD] years and median baseline score 7 (IQR, 5–8). Under ultrasound guidance, mixture ropivacaine dexamethasone injected into parapharyngeal space. Pain reduced after four weeks all (median [IQR...

The option to treat patients presenting with HER-2 overexpressed invasive breast carcinoma with Herceptin requires quantitative determination of the HER-2 status. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the HER-2 mRNA expression levels using quantitative real-time RT-PCR (Q-RT-PCR) in tissue samples from 44 primary breast carcinomas and compare the results with immunohistochemistr...

PURPOSE To inquire into the morbidity of congenital cataract which affects the visual development of infants in Tianjin, find the proportion of cases caused by genetic factors, and to provide the baseline information for discovering amblyopia in an early stage so as to reduce vision disability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Babies no more than two months old were screened for congenital cataract unde...

nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is increasing in pediatric age group parallel to the growing prevalence of obesity and overweight all around the world. so changing in life style and   interventions on obesogenic environment is cornerstone of nafld therapy in obese children. some experts recommend that children and adolescents be encouraged to follow a low-fat, low-glycemic-index diet t...

Inhibiting angiogenesis is a promising strategy for treatment of cancer and several other disorders, including age-related macular degeneration. Major progress towards a treatment has been achieved over the past few years, and the first antiangiogenic agents have been recently approved for use in several countries. Therapeutic angiogenesis (promoting new vessel growth to treat ischaemic disorde...
