An increase in the degree of fatty change of the liver was found by Benitez (1952) in babies who had aspirated vernix caseosa or who had pulmonary hyaline membranes, but little else has been recorded about hepatic lesions in such cases. The observation of small thrombi in the sinusoids of the livers of babies with hyaline membranes was thus of interest; the investigation reported in this paper ...

The histological features of 168 lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma from 159 patients in Malawi, where the disease is commoner than elsewhere, were characteristic. All showed well-developed areas of tumour and could be grouped fairly readily into those with a mixed pattern, a predominantly spindle cell pattern, and an anaplastic group, though intermediate patterns were seen. Hyaline bodies were presen...

The treatment of focal full thickness articular defects in the knee has continued to present a challenge, with no traditional treatment method providing consistent acceptable long-term clinical results. Patients with significant chondral defects frequently have persistent joint line pain, swelling, and catching in the knee. In contrast to marrow stimulation treatment techniques, such as abrasio...

castleman’s disease (angiofollicular lymphoid hyperplasia) includes a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders. the cause of this disease remains uncertain. there are two types of localized castleman’s disease: the more common hyaline vascular and the plasma cell types. mixed variant is an uncommon localized lesion in general population. the lesions can occur in any part of the body...

Alflutop is the standardized sterile extract of marine fish, similar in composition to matrix hyaline cartilage, manufactured by Biotehnos S.A. (Romania). The question effectiveness aflutop remains relevant.

The presence of hyaline eosinophilic inclusions in protoplasmic astrocytes of cerebral cortex is a rare finding that is mostly associated with history of intractable epilepsy and cases of Aicardi syndrome. Here, we describe a 17-year-old male who presented with a longstanding history of intractable epilepsy. Microscopic examination of the excisional biopsy of the epileptic focus showed hyaline ...

High-grade osteochondral lesions cause pain, functional limitations, and oftentimes require surgical treatment. Described operative interventions include microfracture, autograft transfers, allograft transplantation, autologous chondrocyte implantation, matrix assisted implantation. Another option for recalcitrant cartilaginous defects is particulated juvenile cartilage (PJAC) Short-term studie...

Expanded costochondral cells provide a clinically relevant cell source for engineering both fibrous and hyaline articular cartilage. Expanding chondrocytes in a monolayer results in a shift toward a proliferative, fibroblastic phenotype. Three-dimensional aggregate culture may, however, be used to recover chondrogenic matrix production. This study sought to engineer a spectrum of fibrous to hya...

BACKGROUND Nephrotoxicity is characterized and scored by many parameters such as vacuolization, dilatation, hyaline cast, debris or degeneration in injured renal tissue. In this short report, we attempt to find, the most correlated parameters with kidney tissue pathology damage score (PDS) in Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. METHOD A total of 207 normal and toxic rats' kidney tissue (induced...

Microfracture, a common procedure for treatment of cartilage injury, induces fibrocartilage repair by recruiting bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to the site of cartilage injury. However, fibrocartilage is inferior biomechanically to hyaline cartilage. SRY-type high-mobility group box-9 (SOX9) is a master regulator of chondrogenesis by promoting proliferation and differentiation...
