We aimed to investigate the effects of L-NG-monomethyl-arginine on apoptosis articular chondrocytes. 30 rabbits were randomly divided into six groups (n=5). The pathological changes detected by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. expression levels synovial fluid serum nitric oxide measured. chondrocytes was tested using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. reconstitut...

  Primary Hepatic Lymphoma (PHL) is rare and possibly associated with viral hepatitis and autoimmune diseases. Scleroderma could exceptionally be complicated by lymphoma. We describe PHL occurring in a 52-year-old female suffering scleroderma for eight years, with no history of cytotoxic or high-dose glucocorticoid therapy. CT scan, performed to work-up abdominal discomfort, constipation, and ...

A 78-year-old woman presented with generalized lymphadenopathy, fever and weight loss. A biopsy showed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLCL) without marrow involvement. Her serum lactate dehydrongenase (LDH) level was elevated (2110 IU/l, normal 200-440) and a computerized tomogram (CT) scan showed extensive intrathoracic and intrabdominal lymph nodes with no hepatosplenomegaly. The lymphoma exp...
