abstract background and aims. reliable immunohistochemical assays to evaluate the definitive role of mast cells and angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of oral reactive lesions are generally not available. the purpose of the present study was to compare mast cell count (mcc) and microvessel density (mvd) between oral reactive lesions and evaluation of the correlation between mcc and mvd in these l...

normal pressure hydrocephalus (nph) is characterized by gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, and dementia. mixed connective tissue disease (mctd) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that has never been reported to cause nph. our patient was a 67-year man with a one-year history of gradual worsening gait and balance, urinary urgency with urge incontinence and decreased short-term memory. p...

In cases with breast cancer, probably benign lesions can also be seen in the other areas of breast. It is known that neoadjuvant chemotherapy causes morphological changes normal tissue and lesions, addition to effects on malignant mass. complete response chemotherapy, without diagnosis cause a dilemma conserving surgery plan, when they shrink or disappear at end treatment. We aimed demonstrate ...

background: the aim of this study was to quantify the number of mast cells in focal reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity and to compare these two number of mast cells in normal gingival tissues and to correlate their presence with the state of connective tissue changes in reactive lesions and probably suggest a role for mast cells in these lesions. materials and methods: patient rec...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been indicated in the development of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, degenerative diseases and ageing. An increasing body of evidence indicates an association between increased and persistent oxidative stress and the development of radiation damage in tissues such as skin, central nervous system and kidney. On the basis of the new hypothesis ...
