Introduction: A clinical “halo nevus” is a benign melanocytic-neoplasm, often exhibiting spontaneous involution. A characteristic clinical feature is depigmentation of the surrounding skin, and a centripetal progression of the tumor regression phenomenon. Case Report: An 18 year old male consulted the dermatologist for changes in color of an asymptomatic mole. Materials and Methods: A clinical ...

Synaptic transmission at the inner hair cell (IHC) afferent synapse, the first synapse in the auditory pathway, is specialized for rapid and reliable signaling. Here we investigated the properties of a hyperpolarization-activated current (I(h)), expressed in the afferent dendrite of auditory nerve fibers, and its role in shaping postsynaptic activity. We used whole cell patch-clamp recordings f...

INTRODUCTION The BRAF V600E mutation is the most common genetic event occurring in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Recently, the possibility of using immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect the BRAF V600E mutation has been reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 140 patients with classical PTC, the status of the BRAF V600E mutation was determined by IHC (using two alternative staining protocols, IHC-...

Thank you for your interest and comments on our article entitled “Expression of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor in papillary thyroid carcinoma and its clinicopathologic significance,” which was published in Endocrinology and Metabolism [1]. We reported the expression of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tissues based on immunohistochemical (IHC)...

PURPOSE Although the incidence of microsatellite instability (MSI) accounts for 10-15% of cases of colorectal cancer, its clinical application for all colorectal cancers has widened. We attempted to identify clinical and pathological parameters that may be helpful in selection of patients with MSI-high (MSI-H). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 resected colorectal cancers were enrolled ret...

A robust immunohistochemical (IHC) assay for VEGFR2 was developed to investigate its utility for patient tailoring in clinical trials. The sensitivity, specificity, and selectivity of the IHC assay were established by siRNA knockdown, immunoblotting, mass spectrometry, and pre-absorption experiments. Characterization of the assay included screening a panel of multiple human cancer tissues and a...

Mismatch repair defective (MMRd) colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a distinct molecular phenotype of colorectal cancer, including 12% of sporadic CRC and 3% of Lynch Syndrome. In order to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of MMRd colorectal carcinoma, and to find the most effective method for preliminary screening, 296 CRC fulfilled revised Bethesda Guideline (RB) were selected fr...
