argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (agnors) were determined in 94 pleural, pericardial and peritoneal effusions. the results were correlated with cytologic diagnosis to determine the diagnostic potential of this technique. cytologically the number of normal, reactive and malignant effusions were 32, 28 and 34 respectively. the mean agnor counts for normal, reactive and malignant specimens...

Introduction This article presents the current views on follicular thyroid tumor of undetermined malignant potential (FTUMP) taking into account principles WHO classification. Molecular genetic study with identification mutation some genes as well determination expression level microRNAs are given methods for detection predictors oncodiagnostics. It was shown that state nucleus organizer region...

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that is naturally present in the environment. Chronic exposure to Cd causes hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. The present study aimed to study the protective effect of melatonin, methionine and zinc against histopathological, histochemical and proliferative effects of cadmium on the kidney of rats. A total of 80 female albino rats were included in thi...

Aims and objectives: 1. To establish the role of AgNOR in differentiating the benign from the premalignant and the malignant lesions of the prostate. 2. To establish the significance of AgNOR count in differentiating the grades of malignancy. Materials and methods: A prospective study was conducted on 197 prostatic lesions from 20112013. Two sections from each case were stained with haematoxyli...

Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of counting nucleolar organiser region associated proteins (AgNORs) in the management of anal squamous neoplasia. Method: Using a silver staining technique for NOR associated proteins, 32 routinely processed paraffin wax embedded sections of anal epithelium were assessed. These consisted of normal anal epithelium (n = 9), anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) grad...
