Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon malignancy originating from cortex of adrenal gland. The most common pitfall in diagnosis of ACC is to distinguish it from pheochromocytoma. Here we report a 62-year-old hypertensive man with presentation of dyspnea. The laboratory data showed an increase in urine cortisol and renin with a mild increase in aldosterone, but decrease in adrenocorticot...

one of the important mechanisms utilized by the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) is lowering of ethylene levels by the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (acc) deaminase enzyme. the mechanism facilitates plant growth and development in the stress conditions. pgpr containing acc deaminase can promote plant growth under stress and overcome the harmful effects. the study aimed to scr...

one of the few conditions associated with skin ulceration in the neonatal period is aplasia cutis congenita (acc). acc or congenital absence of the skin is considered an uncommon anomaly. this malformation commonly appears on the scalp as a solitary lesion, though it can be seen in other surfaces of the body such as the trunk, limbs and face. acc can be associated with other physical anomalies ...

Background: Many plant growth-promoting bacteria including Rhizobia contain the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase enzyme that can leave ACC, and thereby lower the level of ethylene in stressed plants. Drought and salinity are the most common environmental stress factors for plants in Iran. Objectives: The main aim of this research was development of bio-fertilizers containing A...

Genetic studies through molecular markers proved important to find out the genetic diversity of canola. In this study, 50 lines canola were used polymorphism using 15 SSR primers and investigated diversity, PIC values, frequency-based distance, allelic frequencies. Mean gene values 0.8777, 0.233 0.8666, respectively for lines. A good range was found among studied with value 85.91% polymorphism....

Background:Unilateral tumors or masses of the adrenal gland are common. They are categorized as either functional (hormone-secreting) or silent and as either benign or malignant. Adrenocortical tumors are rare in childhood, with an incidence of 0.3-0.5 cases per one million child-years. Almost half of childhood tumors are adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC). Most ACCs are sporadic, but specialy i...

Objectives The aim of this study is finding a practical and easy way to differentiate, between two malignant tumors Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) and Polymorphous Low-grade Adeno Carcinoma (PLGA) histologically. In this regard, We proposed silver nitrate staining (AgNOR). Methods In this cross-sectional study, 30 parrafin-embedded blocks of ACC and 9 paraffin-embedded b...
