Two malignant pleural mesotheliomas with unusual histological features.
Morphologically, mesotheliomas may be composed of epithelial and/or sarcomatous elements with various patterns, such as tubular, papillary, tubulopapillary, and diffuse epithelial or mixtures of these. Two cases are descirbed in which, in addition to typical mesothelioma, there was cartilage with foci of calcification and ossificated with the mesothelioma, which suggested that they formed an in...
متن کاملChromosomal translocations with specific breakpoints in asbestos-induced rat mesotheliomas.
Cytogenetic analysis was conducted on cells of 15 rat mesotheliomas induced in rats by the i.p. inoculation of crocidolite or chrysotile asbestos. These tumor cells were diploid, triploid, or tetraploid. All tumor lines exhibited aneuploidy and marker chromosomes. Loss of at least one copy of the X chromosome was observed in each of the tumors analyzed, and loss of copies of chromosomes 8, 16, ...
متن کاملPropranolol induced chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cell line
Propranolol (PL), a non-selective beta-blocker, is a cardiovascular drug widely used to treat hypertension. The present study was concerned with assessing the cytogenetic effects of this drug on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. MTT assay was then carried out to determine the cytotoxicity index (IC50) of the drug. The IC50 value of PL was 0.43±0.02 mM. To investigate the clastogenic effect...
متن کاملChromosomal aberrations in iris melanomas.
BACKGROUND Uveal melanomas can develop in the choroid, ciliary body and iris. In choroidal and ciliary body melanomas, specific chromosomal changes correlate with metastatic disease. Iris melanomas have a better prognosis than choroidal melanomas, and it would be interesting to know if they share chromosomal changes. In addition, iris melanomas might harbour UV-induced mutations of tumour suppr...
متن کاملChromosomal aberrations in Perinatal Asphyxia
This study was conducted to evaluate the level of chromosomal damage in perinatal asphyxia and correlate it with severity of asphyxia. Fourty term neonates with asphyxia and twenty term babies without asphyxia were included in this case control study. Blood samples were collected within 24 hours of birth for karyotyping and oxidative stress by serum malondealdehyde (MDA) estimation. The degree ...
