Neoplasms in Cryptorchids

Enzyme Immunoassay for the Measurement of Estrone Sulfate in Cryptorchids, Stallions, and Donkeys

The measurement of estrone sulfate, performed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, is a useful and reliable diagnostic alternative test for the detection of cryptorchidism in the horse and donkey. Mean values are provided in this report for 48 known cryptorchid horses, 49 geldings, and six stallions ranging from 1 to 10 years of age. These values show significant differences between gelding...

Histomorphological and Immunohistochemical Analysis of Pleural Neoplasms

Background & objective:Primary pleural neoplasms are rare entities compared with the pleural involvement by metastatic carcinoma. The current study aimed at investigating the complete spectrum of pleural neoplasms and differentiating between them with the aid of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Methods: Consecutive pleu...

Epigenetics in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

A decade on from the description of JAK2 V617F, the MPNs are circumscribed by an increasingly intricate landscape. There is now evidence that they are likely the result of combined genetic dysregulation, with several mutated genes involved in the regulation of epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetic changes are not due to a change in the DNA sequence but are reversible modifications that dictate the ...

Peroxiredoxins in colorectal neoplasms.

Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are novel group proteins with efficient antioxidant capacity, and some of them also have effects on cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy resistance. Altogether six distinct Prxs expressions were investigated in histological samples of colorectal neoplasm and the distant normal tissues and investigated associatedly with parameter...
