Transformation of Thyroid Epithelium Is Associated with Loss
The receptor for the stem cell factor encoded by the c-kit proto oncogene is expressed by a number of epithelial cells including thyrocytes. Since malignant transformation may be associated with loss of this recep tor (melanoma and breast cancer), we have analyzed its expression in benign (38 cases) and malignant (31 cases) thyroid lesions. While low levels of f-kii are expressed in normal thyr...
متن کاملIs Sudden Hearing Loss Associated with Atherosclerosis?
Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing-loss (SSNHL) patients constitute approximately 2–3% of referrals to ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinics. Several predisposing factors have been proposed for this condition; one of which is vascular disorders and perfusion compromise. In this research the atherosclerotic changes and their known risk factors are studied in SSNHL patients. Materials and ...

متن کاملCiliary body adenoma of non-pigmented epithelium.
Adenomas of the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body are rare neoplasms and most of the studies are in the form of case reports. There are only 27 documented cases of acquired neoplasm of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium (NPCE) reported in the English literature. In most reports, there was a clinical suspicion of melanoma and the diagnosis of NPCE adenoma was made on histopathologic...
متن کاملIs active glucose transport present in bovine ciliary body epithelium?
Hyperglycemia is a major risk factor for diabetic cataract formation. Effective regulation of glucose transport by the ciliary body epithelium (CBE) is pivotal to normal glycemic control in the anterior eye, which in turn affects the glucose level of the crystalline lens. The present study aimed to characterize the glucose transport mechanisms across the bovine blood-aqueous barrier (BAB) repre...
