OBJECTIVE To study the effects of tamoxifen versus tamoxifen plus 13-cis-retinoic acid on the histology of uterine glands in rabbits. METHODS The experimental, randomised, controlled trial was conducted at the Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, from March 2009 to June 2009 and comprised rabbits acquired from the National Institute of Health, Islamabad. The animals were randomly divided into th...

In this study, the main features of trichomes, nutlet, and pollen A. orientalis, which growing in four different provinces Turkey, were examined as detail results illustrated. orientalis carries both peltate capitate well non-glandular ones. However, subtypes glandular trichomes recognized. The shape nutlets is obovate, oblong-obovate nutlet surface sculpturing alveolate. grains euprolate (P/E ...

The incidence of malignant and premalignant endocervical glandular lesions is increasing. This review covers controversial and difficult aspects regarding the categorisation and diagnosis of these lesions. The terminology of premalignant endocervical glandular lesions is discussed because of the differences between the UK terminology and the widely used World Health Organisation classification....

Histochemical, micromorphology, ultrastructural and confocal analyses of the trichomes of Micromeria thymifolia (Scop.) Fritsch, were carried out using light microscopy, confocal laser scanning electron microscopy, scanning electron and transmission fluorescent microscopy. Three types of glandular trichomes – peltate, capitate and digitiform and non-glandular trichomes are described on the abax...

Mixed squamous cell and glandular papilloma of the lung is an extremely rare benign epithelial tumor showing a mixture of squamous and glandular epithelium. Here, we report a case of mixed squamous cell and glandular papilloma that presented as a solitary nodule in the left lower lobe of a 64-year-old woman. Chest computed tomography demonstrated a lobulated mass in the basal segment of the lef...

Glandular kallikrein (a trypsin-like serine protease) is an estrogen-induced and dopamine-repressed protein in the rat anterior pituitary which appears to be associated with lactotrophs. This study examined glandular kallikrein levels in diethylstilbestrol (DES)-induced pituitary tumors in F344 rats and compared it to plasma and pituitary prolactin, and pituitary wet weight. Ovariectomized F344...

In this paper, glandular areas associated with the phallus in Triatoma rubrofasciata are described and illustrated for the first time. The glandular areas lie in the membrane surrounding the articulatory apparatus. In order to unambiguously define the locality of the respective glandular areas, some features of the pygophore-phallus connection are redescribed. A possible functional context of t...

The micromorphology of foliar trichomes of Hypoestes aristata var. aristata was studied using stereo, light and scanning microscopy (SEM). This genus belongs to the advanced angiosperm family Acanthaceae, for which few micromorphological leaf studies exist. Results revealed both glandular and non-glandular trichomes, the latter being more abundant on leaf veins, particularly on the abaxial surf...
