Secretory carcinoma (SC) is a rare recently described entity that has characteristics similar to those of secretory breast carcinoma. We report case 23 years old male with swelling on the parotid gland. The ultrasonography guided fine needle aspiration cytology was performed mass. Cytologically, background aspirate composed inflammatory cells admixed mucinous material. There were isolated as mu...

Targeted treatment with somatostatin analogues (SA) in acromegaly and neuroendocrine neoplasms may have some benefits compared to curative treatments, because these agents decrease excessive hormone secretion exert a tumor-suppressive effect. Monotherapy combination therapy SA is well tolerated bears no risk of debilitating iatrogenic complications. In caused by somatotropin producing pituitary...

Excessive Cl(-) secretion is the driving force for secretory diarrhea. 17β-Estradiol has been shown to inhibit Cl(-) secretion in rat distal colon through a nongenomic pathway. We examined whether 17β-estradiol inhibits Cl(-) secretion in an animal model of secretory diarrhea and the downstream effectors involved. The effect of 17β-estradiol on cholera toxin and heat-stable enterotoxin induced ...

Structural changes underlying exocytosis evoked by the application of endotoxin to Limulus amebocytes were studied at the level of detail afforded by freeze-fracture and freeze-substitution techniques combined with the time resolution of direct rapid-freezing. The results with amebocytes prepared in this manner differed from those with other secretory cells prepared by conventional means. Exocy...

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by diminished secretory function of the exocrine glands. Treatments for hyposalivation are limited to the use of saliva substitutes and medications that provide only temporary relief. In light of the high degree of need and the limitations of current therapies, development of alternative treatments to restore fun...

Children patient suffering from malnutrition and chronic diarrhea, who had been treated with tempe formula improved their health status, recovered from the diarrhea in a relatively shorter period, and gained weight. It is perceived that the quick recovery was due to improvement of the body’s immune system. The aim of the research was to observe the effect of black soybean tempe and it’s ethanol...

Two methods used for the electron microscopic detection of glycoproteins were applied to a variety of cell types in the rat; one involved successive treatment of sections with periodic acid, chromic acid, and silver methenamine; and the other, a brief treatment with a chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid mixture. The results obtained with the two methods were identical and, whenever the comparison...
