Objective: To compare the effect of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) and microvascular decompression (MVD) in treatment trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
 Methods: Data 98 patients with TN, admitted to Chenzhou First People’s Hospital from May 2020 2022, were retrospectively collected. Patients divided into two groups based on surgical method. A total 53 treated PBC comprised PBC-group 45 M...

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...

BACKGROUND Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in malignant tumor progression. The count of blood microvessels of the tumor has been recognized as an indicator of malignant potential of the tumors and provides the ability to predict tumors recurrence. The role endoglin in the Dukes B rectal cancer is still unexplored. The aims of this study were to examine immunohistochemical expression of endogl...

BACKGROUND Tumor angiogenesis correlates with recurrence and appears to be a prognostic factor for both breast and prostate cancers. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the correlation of microvessel density (MVD), a measure of angiogenesis, with nuclear pleomorphism, mitotic count, and vascular invasion in breast and prostate cancers at preclinical and clinical levels. METHODS Samp...

Background. This study was aimed at comparing angiogenesis, seen as microvessel density (MVD) in subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Methods. In this study, 64 cases of NHL diagnosed over a three-year period were included along with 15 lymph node biopsies of reactive hyperplasia. NHLs were classified using REAL classification, and immunohistochemistry was performed for CD34 in all cases. ...

AIMS To evaluate the prognostic impact of tumour angiogenesis assessed by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), microvessel density (MVD), and tumour vessel invasion in patients who had undergone radical resection for stage IB-IIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Fifty one patients (42 men, nine women; mean age, 62.3 years; SD, 6.9) undergoing complete surgical resection (35 l...

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a widely used, safe, and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TGN). However, the extent of application of this therapeutic method and its outcomes in Japan are currently unclear. To address these questions, the authors analyzed the use of MVD for the treatment of TGN during the 33-month period from July 2010 to March 2013, using data contained in th...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether angiogenesis, as measured by microvessel density (MVD), at presentation is related to subsequent progression of superficial bladder cancer (SBC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Archived primary bladder tumors from 180 patients were stained with a monoclonal antibody against cluster determinant 34 to label vessels. Image analysis was used to coun...

Introduction Extrahepatic portosystemic vascular anomalies (PSVA) in small breed dogs, originally described in the 1970s, have received notorious attention in the veterinary literature. We estimate that this congenital malformation comprises approximately 0.6 to 2.0% of a specialty hospital patient population. However, microvascular dysplasia (MVD), a genetically related hepatic vascular disord...
