Hepatic hyperplastic nodules induced in mice by long-term griseofulvin administration were examined for selected microsomal activities and responses to enzyme inducers. Despite a decrease in microsomal cytochrome P-450 in hyperplastic nodules, aminopyrine N-demethylase was at control levels. Benzopyrene hydroxylase activity was slightly lower in microsomes derived from hyperplastic nodules than...

AIM To investigate the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colorectal adenomatous and hyperplastic polyps. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 3686 individuals undergoing health checkups (2430 males and 1256 females). All subjects underwent laboratory testing, abdominal ultrasonography, colonoscopy, and an interview to ascertain the ba...

Photoreceptor differentiation in the Drosophila eye disc progresses from posterior to anterior in a wave driven by the Hedgehog and Decapentaplegic signals. Cells mutant for the hyperplastic discs gene misexpress both of these signaling molecules in anterior regions of the disc, leading to premature photoreceptor differentiation and overgrowth of surrounding tissue. The two genes are independen...

AIMS To describe and evaluate two apparently unique cases of inverted hyperplastic (metaplastic) polyposis of the colon. METHODS The cases were analysed by standard histopathological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical techniques and the findings compared with those of regular hyperplastic polyps of the colorectum. RESULTS Both patients were middle-aged men with concurrent adenocarcinom...

Aims: bacteria are one of the main factors involved in the process of tooth decay.  They play an important role in the onset and progression of tooth decay and are the main cause of pulp and periapical diseases. Their presence in the crown pulp and dental canal causes symptoms in the teeth; therefore, the aim of this study was to molecular study of anaerobic bacteria in primary and necrotic tee...

The study searched for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene amplification in hyperplastic glottis lesions. After classical pathohistological findings of hematoxylin-eosin (HE) slides and quantitative immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was used on tissue microarrays of laryngeal hyperplastic tissue ranging from normal mucosa to abnormal and atypi...

Hyperplastic polyps of the colorectum are heterogeneous lesions, a subset of which is now regarded as the precursor of colorectal cancer with DNA microsatellite instability. Some authors have distinguished this subset from classic hyperplastic polyps and have introduced the term "sessile serrated adenoma". These lesions frequently show BRAF mutation and DNA methylation. This personal perspectiv...
