The pathophysiology of nasal polyps (NP) remains unclear, however, several ion channels may participate. Whether transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel play a role in NP remains unknown. We investigated expression of TRPC, eosinophil infiltration, IL-6, and NF-κB in 58 patients with NP and 35 control subjects using hematoxylin-eosin ...

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are multipotent cells that have self-renewal properties and can differentiate into osteocytes, adipocytes, cartilage and extoderm. Bone regeneration and repair are important for the repair of bone injury, skeletal development or continuous remodeling throughout adult life. Thus, investig...

The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of serine/glycine-related proteins in Hürthle cell neoplasm (HCN) and follicular neoplasm (FN) and to explore its associated implications. Tissue microarrays were constructed with 265 cases of FN (follicular carcinoma [FC]: 112 and follicular adenoma [FA]: 153) and 107 cases of HCN (Hürthle cel...

Malignant ascites changes the microenvironment of the peritoneal cavity and damages abdominal functional host cells such as interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), causing gastrointestinal dysfunction and poor prognosis. Besides tumor cells, malignant ascites contains large numbers of lymphocytes and macrophagocytes. These inflammatory cells act as a ‘d...

The mechanisms and causes of scoliosis are believed to be multifactorial. Syringomyelia can often be found in scoliosis patients but the relationship between the two remains obscure. In this study, based on a rabbit model of syringomyelia-associated scoliosis, the involved pathological mechanism was explored in an attempt to further understand the ...

Extra-gonadal pure yolk sac tumor of the ear is very rare. We report a case of a yolk sac tumor of the ear and review the English literature in PubMed. The initial complaint was a mass protruding out of the external auditory canal. Computed tomography (CT) showed a large irregularly enhancing isodense mass lesion measuring 42*16 mm in the right ext...

Objectives: To investigate molecular mechanisms of nicastrin ( NCSTN ) mutations inducing acne inversa (AI). Methods: New and old lesional and non-lesional skin samples were obtained from an AI patient. Healthy skin samples were obtained from the buttocks of 100 non-AI patients. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry of NCSTN protein w...

Primary paraganglioma-like dermal melanocytic tumor (PDMT) is a rare dermal melanocytic tumor first recognized in 2004. The cases in previous reports suggested a benign course with a favorable prognosis. Herein, we describe a case of PDMT in the right neck from a 33-year-old man. The tumor cells with mild atypia and low level mitosis consisted of e...
