kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (khe) appears as a single lesion at birth or early infancy in an equal sex ratio. a rare aggressive vascular proliferation has been recognized as a separate entity from other childhood vascular neoplasm. a 3-year-old iranian boy with a rapidly enlarging mass in his (posterior aspect of skull at the midline) skull was present here. physical examination revealed a ...

fabms analysis of t-lb peptide before and after one cycle of edman degradation indicated an unblocked n-terminal thr residue for this tryptic peptide. in contrast , our data showed a molecular protonated ion, mh + for t- la peptide at 655 mass units (mu) which is 42 mu higher than the mh ion of t- 1b peptide. in addition, t- la peptide was not amenable to one cycle of manual edman degradation. ...

Uterine cervical cancer is caused, mostly, by persistent infection with some types of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), with types 16 and 18 showing higher risk for developing the disease. Because there is no effective drug treatment, early diagnosis of cervical cancer is very important for prognosis. The objective of this paper is to review the current immunohistochemical markers used in diagnosis,...

The Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is an established model system used for the study of synaptic development and plasticity. The widespread use of the Drosophila motor system is due to its high accessibility. It can be analyzed with single-cell resolution. There are 30 muscles per hemisegment whose arrangement within the peripheral body wall are known. A total of 31 motor neurons attac...

background and aims. odontogenic cysts and tumors have a wide spectrum of clinical characteristics that lead to the different management strategies. since definite diagnosis is difficult in some cases, it has been suggested that cd56 may be a candidate marker for definitive diagnosis of some odontogenic tumors. the present study was designed to examine cd56 expression in lesions with histopatho...
