This study investigated circulating levels mCRP their relevance clinicopathological features patients with lupus nephritis. Methods.

We have investigated immunohistochemically the expression of CD40 in post-mortem human brain tissues. In control brain, the blood vessels were stained weakly for CD40. Vascular expression of CD40 was enhanced in the lesions of Alzheimer's disease and some other neurological diseases. In such diseases, reactive microglia were also positive for CD40. The results of this study suggest that CD40 ex...

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a common reactive gingival lesion that histologically resembles the central giant cell granuloma, and is a central lesion of the jaws. Occasionally, central giant cell granuloma-like lesions may be seen in association with hyperparathyroidism. Rarely, PGCG-like lesions have been described in a background of hyperparathyroidism. We describe the case of a...

Humans are constantly exposed to diverse chemical and physical agents that have the potential to damage DNA, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), ionizing radiation (IR), UV light, and various environmental, dietary or pollutant chemical agents. The integrity and survival of a cell is critically dependent on genome stability, and cells possess multi‐ ple pathways to repair these DNA lesions. ...

The eyes may become involved in leprosy in three ways-as a complication of involvement of the facial and occasionally the trigeminal nerve(s); by invasion of the eyeball by large numbers of acid-fast bacilli in lepromatous leprosy; and by participation in the generalized allergic reaction, known as the reactive phase. It is curious that the eyeball is rarely, if ever, involved by direct spread ...

Introduction: Oral neoplasms are the second most common oral lesions after reactive proliferative lesions. The aim of this study is to determine distribution by gender and age, briefly discussed clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatments these Materials Methods: To collect material, a pathological retrospective archive analysis has been performed 61 neoplasm cases were determined in total 4...
