McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a rare sporadic disease characterized by bone fibrous dysplasia, Café au lait spots and a variable association of hyperfunction endocrine disorders. There is not any certain treatment available for this syndrome, and both physical and emotional disability in these patients is still a major concern for physicians. In present report we have described a 10- year-o...

Abstract Background Finite element analysis (FEA) has been previously applied for the biomechanical of acetabular dysplasia and osteotomy. However, until now, there have little reports on use FEA to evaluate effects pelvic tilt stress distribution in acetabulum. Methods We used Mechanical Finder Ver. 7.0 (RCCM, Inc., Japan) construct finite models based 3D-CT data patients, designed dysplasia, ...

background: routine dysplasia screening decreases the rates of cervical cancer. since many women seek gynecological care to secure contraception, it was hypothesized that sterilized women will be less likely to undergo routine cervical cancer screening. prior studies tried to evaluate this relationship, but results were conflicting. the study sought to further explore the sociodemographic and b...

BACKGROUND Deregulation of β-catenin is associated with malignant transformation; however, its relationship with potentially malignant and malignant oral processes is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the nuclear β-catenin expression in oral dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Cross sectional study. Immunodetection of ...

Objectives. Our research is to realize the natural history from dysplasia to carcinoma and to provide evidence for exploring proper screening intervals. Methods. After the onset endoscopy screening, 2093 of the patients participated in the endoscopic follow-up voluntarily. Totally, 101 severe dysplasia and carcinoma cases, either diagnosed in the first endoscopy without treatment or diagnosed i...

chondroectodermal dysplasia (ellis-van creveld syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive congenital abnormality. this syndrome is characterized by a spectrum of clinical findings, among which chondrodystrophy, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and congenital cardiac anomalies are the most common. it is imperative to not overlook the cardiac complications in patients with this syndrome during den...

hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (hed) is a rare congenital disorder arising from deficient development of ectoderm-derived structures including skin, nails, glands and teeth. the phenotype of hed is associated with mutation in eda, edar, edaradd and nemo genes, all of them disruptingnf-κb signaling cascade necessary for initiation, formation and differentiation in the embryo and adult. here w...

OBJECTIVE To describe an unusual variant of oral epithelial dysplasia and to provide an appraisal of its immunohistochemical profile. STUDY DESIGN An unusual form of epithelial dysplasia, which we have termed adenoid dysplasia, was evaluated for staining of cytokeratins AE1/AE3, vimentin, E-cadherin, and β-catenin. The immunohistochemical results were compared with those observed in moderate ...

Incidences and morphological features of thyroid proliferative lesions induced by carcinogens in Wistar Hannover GALAS rats (GALAS rats) showing normal growth with or without thyroid dysplasia were examined. All thyroid tissue samples were obtained from our recently conducted study using male GALAS rats treated with 5 carcinogens according to the medium-term multiorgan carcinogenicity bioassay ...

Serial sections of 812 rectal biopsy specimens from 356 Crohn's disease patients were analysed for mucosal epithelial dysplasia. Dysplasia was found in 18 patients (5%), with four showing dysplasia on repeat biopsy specimen. In these 22 biopsy specimens the dysplasia was mild in 13, moderate in nine, and severe in none. Subsequently, three patients (17%) developed neoplasms including carcinoma ...
