PURPOSE To reduce antigenicity of allografts and stimulate their replacement by natural recipient tissues. METHODS Experimental allotransplantation of different tissues (fascias, tendons, derma, fat, etc.) with histological, histochemical, electron microscopical, electron histochemical examination 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 360 days postoperatively. RESULTS Allografts of differen...

Primary tuberculosis (TB) of the hard palate is very rare. A 74-year-old man was presented with 6-month history of dysphagia along with an irregular mass in the hard and soft palate. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed thickened and increased signal intensity within hard and soft palate. Tissue biopsy showed focal caseating granulomatous-like lesion and the histochemical staining using Zi...

Secondary cataract is the most common postoperative complication, which causes repeated significant reduced visual acuity, even after a successful operation on the lens. Due to significant clinical heterogeneity of secondary cataract of a man a comparative morphological and functional study in the formation of its fibrous and proliferative forms is especially important for identification of pat...

Abstract Males of most amphibian species possess specialized cutaneous glands, known as sexually dimorphic skin glands (SDSGs). SDSGs are usually clustered in specific body regions and externally visible, but some cases, external differences between males females can be slight or absent, the occurrence only disclosed by histological studies. Chemical signals produced markedly affect behaviour r...

Intercellular protuberances (IPs) are projections on the cell surface and have been reported for families of ferns, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms. Data type, chemical composition, distribution these structures among vascular plants still scarce. Here, we investigate occurrence, distribution, type IPs species eight Dennstaedtiaceae genera verify taxonomic significance in family. Rhizomes 23 from fiel...

The aim of this study was an application of spatial visualization techniques for quantitative measurements of immuno- and histochemical reactions. For a quantitative histochemical study, specimens, collected from patients with chronic gastritis, were stained with paS/AB, while for immunohistochemical evaluation, specimens were used, collected from patients with chronic parathyroiditis and were ...

The complex carbohydrates in the undescended and contralateral scrotal testes of patients with cryptorchidism, were examined by light microscopic histochemical methods, in comparison with those of normal testes. In the undescended testes, histochemical reactions for acidic and neutral complex carbohydrates were apparently weaker than in the normal testes, especially pronounced in the seminifero...

Distribution of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) in the ovary of mice treated with two chronic doses of sodium fluoride (NaF), for five days, in drinking water. LDH histochemical reactivity was observed following Hess et al., (1958) technique and SDH histochemical reactivity was obtained using the method of Nachlas et al., (1957). A decreasing trend of enzyme reactiv...
