Abstract Recent researches indicate the key role of circRNA in gastric cancer (GC) progression. However, circ_0026359 GC progression remains unclear. This study aims to analyze development and underlying mechanism. The results showed that compared with controls, tissues cells displayed high HOXA9 expression, low miR-140-3p expression. Depletion repressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion ...

Primary testicular carcinoid tumor, occupying 0.23% of testicular neoplasm, is a rare and indolent neoplasm with the potential for distant metastasis. We present two cases of primary pure carcinoid tumor of the testis. Both patients were 36 years old. Physical examination revealed testicular mass with and without tenderness. The preoperative serum levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and...

One reference to the transplantation of an adrenal cortical tumor of the mouse has been found in the literature. Dalton, Edwards, and Andervont (1) reported on a spontaneous, transplantable, adrenal cortical tumor in a female strain C mouse 24 89 months of age. They presented evidence that this neoplasm originated from relatively undifferentiated cells of the adrenal cortex. The failure to find...

UNLABELLED Gastric carcinoma occurs in response to chronic inflammation of gastric mucosa infected with Helicobacter pylori. It is not known how cytokines affect the growth and progression of gastric carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured tissue concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6 in gastric carcinoma and investigated the correlation between t...

BACKGROUND Oncocytic carcinoma is an extremely rare neoplasm of the salivary glands. We report a case of oncocytic carcinoma arising in a parotid gland in a 66-year-old female. METHOD An excisional biopsy of the parotid tumor was performed. The specimen was submitted for histology and after fixation in formalin solution and inclusion in paraffin, 3-5 microm sections were stained with hematoxy...

Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) tends to metastasize to remote organs rather than local lymph nodes. Separation of FTC from follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) relies on detection of vascular and/or capsular invasion. We investigated which vascular markers, CD31, CD34 and D2-40 (lymphatic vessel marker), can best evaluate vascular invasion and why FTC tends to metastasize via blood stream to re...

BACKGROUND/AIM It is highly appreciated to provide exact data on vascular invasion of pancreatic carcinoma relying as much as possible on non-invasive diagnostic procedures. Color Doppler ultrasonography has been proven as an efficient method for clinical staging of pancreatic carcinoma essential for therapeutic decisions. The aim of this study was to provide an analysis of the sensitivity and ...

Presenter: Norberto Portillo Lopez MD | Universidad de la Frontera Background: Gallbladder cancer is a neoplasm with high incidence in Chile. Extended cholecystectomy (EC) an accepted option for T1a Rokyransky-Aschoff sinuses invasion, T1b and T2 tumors. Several studies suggest that laparoscopic extended (CELap) acceptable morbidity mortality. Methods: Case series of patients gallbladder underg...
