AIMS--To evaluate the immunoreactivities of neoplastic and non-neoplastic monocytoid B cells (MBC) and compare them with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS--An immunohistochemical study of paraffin wax embedded sections was done on surgically resected specimens of spleens with MBC clusters from patients with gastric cancer (14 cases), tonsils (five cases), and lym...

Lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs) of the ocular adnexa encompass the majority of orbital diseases and include reactive follicular hyperplasia (RFH), atypical lymphoid hyperplasia (ALH), and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma). Lymphoid follicles (LFs) are usually observed during the histological examination of LPDs. Currently, because there is a lack of specific clinical sign...

be 35.1 kJ/mol (8.4 kcal/mol) for formation of the complex and 115.9 kJ/mol(27.7 kcal/mol) for dissociation of the complex. The kinetic results, as well as helping to describe and validate the model of hyaluronate-proteoglycan interaction, are also of value in the design of experiments. In the experiment shown in Fig. 1 equilibrium is only attained after approx. 1-lfh, as monitored by light-sca...

It is shown that a suitably formulated algebraic lightfront holography (LFH), in which the lightfront is viewed as the linear extension of the upper causal horizon of a wedge region, is capable of overcoming the shortcomings of the old lightfront quantization. The absence of transverse vacuum fluctuations which this formalism reveals is responsible for an area (edge of the wedge) -rearrangement...

OBJECTIVE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to obesity and diabetes, suggesting an important role of adipose tissue in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Here, we aimed to investigate the interaction between adipose tissue and liver in NAFLD and identify potential early plasma markers that predict nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS C57Bl/6 mice were chro...

The slope of the end-systolic pressure-volume relation (ESPVR) is useful in assessing acute changes in contractile state. However, a limitation of ESPVR is that its slope decreases progressively as ventricular size increases without this change necessarily indicating a change in contractile state. In this respect, an index of contractile function that is independent of ventricular size would ha...
