intramuscular cavernous hemangiomas represent less than 1% of all hemangiomas. typical presentation is a soft-tissue mass and/or pain without cutaneous changes. whereas calcification of hemangiomas is common; ossification of these lesions is very rare. we describe a case of ossified intramuscular hemangioma of quadriceps presented with painless knee extension contracture and thigh mass.

This review article is devoted to the main problems of early diagnostic and prognosis non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, which accounts for 75 % all newly detected cases cancer according statistics. Chromosomal disorders that have been in urothelial cells can lead development cancer. The highlights existing systems their disadvantage limitations use practice. Special attention given tumor stem...

metastasis of gastroesphageal junction (gej) adenocarcinoma in skeletal muscle is rare and primary sites for skeletal muscle metastases are usually lung, renal and colorectal cancer. we have encountered with the first case report of solitary psoas muscle metastasis of gej adenocarcinoma. here we describe a 65 years old man was diagnosed with gej adenocarcinoma in tertiary hospital, tehran, iran...

this report describes the histological and immunohistochemical features of a small intestinal tumor that resembled a human gastrointestinal stromal tumor (gists) in a seven-year-old male cross-breed dog. this was unique because of the expression of desmin by the tumor. grossly, the white-gray tumor measured 8.0 × 4.0 × 6.5 cm and was 760 gram in weight. it was cystic and enveloped the jejunum. ...

Skeletal muscle contains myogenic progenitors called satellite cells and muscle-derived stem cells that have been suggested to be pluripotent. We further investigated the differentiation potential of muscle-derived stem cells and satellite cells to elucidate relationships between these two populations of cells. FACS(R) analysis of muscle side population (SP) cells, a fraction of muscle-derived ...

bone tissue engineering has been one of the most promising areas of research, providing a potential clinical application to cure bone defects. recently, various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (escs), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs), umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ucb-mscs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (adscs), muscle-derived stem cell...

heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. end stage disease often requires heart transplantation, which is hampered by donor organ shortage. tissue engineering represents a promising alternative approach for cardiac repair. for the generation of artificial heart muscle tissue several cell types, scaffold materials and bioreactor designs are under investigation. in this revi...

For efficient production of cultured meat, chicken breast muscle cells and leg were proliferated differentiated using medium with various serums, proliferation differentiation ability analyzed. Chicken serum-free (NC), 20% FBS (C), 10% serum (CS) 5% horse (HS) (T1), CS (T2), HS (T3). Using the immunofluorescence staining, Pax7 nuclei stained in to confirm that they satellite cells. As a result ...
