متن کاملKaryometric analysis of nasal polyps.
OBJECTIVES Nuclear characteristics of epithelial cells in nasal polyps were analyzed. PATIENTS AND METHODS The slides of 35 patients who underwent surgery for nasal polyposis and 18 slides of normal mucosa were examined. The specimens were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Tissue sections were analyzed by a CCD camera and the Karyotype Program of Human Cytogenetics Nomenclature System on a Maci...
