Background: Granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff’s tumor) is a rare and slow-growing tumor of the soft tissue. Originated from the Schwann cells, it is often a benign tumor, but it can be malignant in 1-3% of the cases. Malignant cases can cause significant morbidity and mortality. It may develop in many anatomic locations, especially in the head and neck region, and also in skin and subcutaneous t...

Six-day-old rats were treated intraperitoneal injections with methotrexate 1 mg/kg, and the cerebellum was examined. Both the length and width of the vermis decreased in the methotrexate-treated group instead of the control from 4 day after treatment (DAT) onward. A significant reduction in the width of the external granular layer was detected on 2 and 3 DAT in the methotrexate group. By 4 DAT,...

The aim of the present study was to determine various types of hemocytes, total and differential hemocyte count and to show some indices of phagocytosis, including percent phagocytosis and phagocytic index in Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus in Iranian shrimp farms. The hemolymph was extracted from the shrimps and mixed with anticoagulant. It then stained and Yeast was added as forei...

Preparations representing populations of (a) basal and spinous cells, (b) granular cells, and (c) stratum corneum cells were obtained by successive treatments of epidermal slices from pig skin with dilute buffered trypsin solutions. Total lipids accounted for about 8% of the cell dry weight in each of the three populations. Phospholipids, which predominated in the basal and spinous cells, accou...

Aims. The aim is to present a case of rare giant granular cell ameloblastoma and to review the pertinent literature highlighting the molecular aspects of its pathogenesis by analyzing the expression of CD-68, Bcl-2, and β -catenin. Methods. H and E stained sections showed large odontogenic islands showing peripheral ameloblast-like cells and central stellate reticulum-like cells with extensive ...

early life stress during fetal development has been hypothesized to predispose several neurological and psychiatric disorders in adulthood. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of maternal stress on the volume of granular cells, total number of dark neurons and also the distribution of glycol-conjugates and changes of terminal sugars in the dentate gyrus. pregnant sprague-daw...

in this study, we offer a general view at the area of fuzzy modeling and fuzzymodels, identify the visible development phases and elaborate on a new and promisingdirections of system modeling by introducing a concept of granular models. granularmodels, especially granular fuzzy models constitute an important generalization of existingfuzzy models and, in contrast to the existing models, generat...

UNLABELLED We report a case of an 84-year old female with granular cell atypical fibroxanthoma. The patient had an exophytic cutaneous tumor without ulceration localized on the left thigh. Histologically, the tumor consisted of a large epitheloid and spindle cells with a moderate to abundant amount of eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. The nuclei were irregular with coarse chromatin and some exhi...
