Aim. The aim of this investigation was to examine the alterations in the peritoneum after cold dry CO2, heated dry CO2, and humidified heated CO2 at pressures equivalent to intraperitoneal pressures used in human laparoscopy. Methods. Eighteen rats were divided into 4 treatment groups-group 1: untreated control; group 2: insufflation with cold dry CO2; group 3: insufflation with heated, dry CO2...

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) associated primary effusion lymphomas arise and grow in the body cavities as effusions, but it is not known whether the lining of body cavities and mesothelium derived malignancies are potential targets of HHV-8 infection. We examined a series of 13 diffuse malignant mesotheliomas and four mesothelial cell rich effusion samples of non-neoplastic aetiology from non-im...

The study aims to provide anatomical and histological information about the liver in female Iraqi green freshwater turtles. Ten turtles (Chelonia mydas) were collected from Shatt Al-Hilla used this study. They anesthetized by chloroform closed chambers. was recorded sections of stained using hematoxylin Eosin stains. result showed that a turtle is large elongated organ. mean weight 735±0.04 gm,...

The mesothelial surface of the visceral pleura of the Wistar rat was viewed at high resolution by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pleural surface showed exquisite linear arrangements made up of bulging mesothelial cells. They were organized in irregular circles that often presented anastomotic junctures. This arrangement of pleural mesothelial cells mimics the organization of subpleural...

The granulosa cells are believed to originate from ovarian surface epithelial mesothelium or possibly from the rete ovarii.[77] The cohort of granulosa cells that surrounds each oocyte has an oligoclonal origin, with three to five parent cells giving rise to the full complement of granulosa cells in a mature follicle.[78] Granulosa cells receive no direct blood supply, and because a basal lamin...

Cytology and cytogenetics were used to study ascitic fluid obtained from five patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. Cytological examination showed that all fluids contained numerous mesothelial cells and some leucocytes. Cytogenetic analysis showed abnormal karyotypes in cultured cells from all five patients and in uncultured cells from three. A consistent abnormality was the presence of spreads w...

regarding to the important of pancreas in the body, this study was carried out on the histologic structure of pancreas of 6 pairs of iranian native turkeys of both sexes, age ranging from 26-30 weeks. routine histological techniques were used and stained by h&e; and masson’s trichrome, gomori’s method for reticulum, verhoeff’s, maldonado’s methods. the pancreas was covered with a thick dense co...
