Abstract:

  Background and Objective: Inflammatory pseudotumor  is a lesion composed of proliferating spindle cells with mixed inflammatory infiltrates. Some authors have proposed the name inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor as a proper descriptive term rather than the vague inflammatory pseudotumor. The aim of this study was to verify the myofibroblastic origin of spindle cells in idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor by immunohistochemical staining. Materials and Methods:  We reviewed a series of 32 inflammatory pseudotumors  arising in orbit for expression of smooth muscle actin, vimentin, desmin and anaplastic lymphoma kinase  using immunohistochemical staining. Results: There were 21 females and 11 males aged 3 to 64 years with a mean age of 31. Immunohistochemically, spindle cells of 51.75%, 79.3%, and 17.2% of lesions expressed smooth muscle actin (15/29), vimentin (23/29) and desmin (5/29). All lesions (32/32) were negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase Conclusion: In this study, reactivity for smooth muscle actin  in spindle cells can be demonstrated as myofibroblastic differentiation. The absence of anaplastic lymphoma expression in all cases of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor  in this study strongly suggests that these lesions, albeit histologically similar, are biologically distinct from their soft tissue counterparts or those inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that negative for anaplastic lymphoma immunoreactivity may be characterized by one or more chromosomal aberration involving regions other than 2p23 is as yet unknown.

wuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...

a case study of the two translators of the holy quran: tahereh saffarzadeh and laleh bakhtiar

بطورکلی، کتاب های مقدسی همچون قران کریم را خوانندگان میتوان مطابق با پیش زمینه های مختلفی که درند درک کنند. محقق تلاش کرده نقش پیش زمینه اجتماعی-فرهنگی را روی ایدئولوژی های مترجمین زن و در نتیجه تاثیراتش را روی خواندن و ترجمه آیات قرآن کریم بررسی کند و ببیند که آیا تفاوت های واژگانی عمده ای میان این مترجمین وجود دارد یا نه. به این منظور، ترجمه 24 آیه از آیات قرآن کریم مورد بررسی مقایسه ای قرار ...

[Inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit].

The authors present a patient who was hospitalized in their department due to indurative edema of the left lower eyelid. Computed tomography (CT) of the orbit confirmed the suspicion of tumor affection behind the globe. The general condition of the patient was not altered. Biopsy and following histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit. The patient...

the effect of consciousness raising (c-r) on the reduction of translational errors: a case study

در دوره های آموزش ترجمه استادان بیشتر سعی دارند دانشجویان را با انواع متون آشنا سازند، درحالی که کمتر به خطاهای مکرر آنان در متن ترجمه شده می پردازند. اهمیت تحقیق حاضر مبنی بر ارتکاب مکرر خطاهای ترجمانی حتی بعد از گذراندن دوره های تخصصی ترجمه از سوی دانشجویان است. هدف از آن تاکید بر خطاهای رایج میان دانشجویان مترجمی و کاهش این خطاها با افزایش آگاهی و هوشیاری دانشجویان از بروز آنها است.از آنجا ک...
