Fifty-eight chronic carriers of Neisseria meningitidis were given 250 mg of Sch 29,482 or placebo orally every 6 h for 4 days. Although 22 of 29 subjects taking Sch 29,482 became culture negative while taking the drug, only five were culture negative 2 weeks posttherapy. There were no significant adverse reactions.

We report a two-day-old infant who had a period of apnoea lasting six hours following the intravenous administration of succinylcholine (Sch). The results of her plasma cholinesterase level and dibucaine number indicate a congenital absence of plasma cholinesterase (PChE) enzyme, although both parents and siblings had normal cholinesterase levels and dibucaine numbers. This is believed to be th...

Hemangioma is a rare, non-reactive, benign vascular tumor, characterized by endothelial cell proliferations and results from malformation. mostly occurs on head neck skin regresses spontaneously within 5-10 years in 50-90% of cases. However, oral lesions show less regression than lesions. The most commonly affected area tongue palatal mucosa, rarely observed jaw bones. Diagnosis based anamnesis...

malignant transformation of ameloblastomas arising from an odontogenic cyst or de novo is wellrecognized. malignancies in ameloblastomas may involve metastasis or a local dysplastic change in the tissue. the latter are classified as ameloblastic carcinomas. a 75-year-old male presented with a mandibular cystic swelling, with no evidence of metastasis. dysplastic ameloblastic cells with spindlec...

Hemangioma is one of the most common types of infantile vascular benign tumor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and tumor protein p53 (p53) in the proliferation and apoptosis of hemangioma cells. A total of 38 paraffin-embedded hemangioma specimens (16 males and 22 females) and another 5 paraffin-embedded healthy surrounding tissue samples, c...

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of propranolol on the regression of hemangiomas. Propranolol-treated hemangioma tissues were collected and the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) was examined. We also established HIF-1α overexpression and knockdown hemangioma cells, and determined the effects of HIF-1α on the hemangioma cells proliferation, apoptosis, migra...

Infantile hemangioma is a benign endothelial tumor composed of disorganized blood vessels. It exhibits a unique life cycle of rapid postnatal growth followed by slow regression to a fibrofatty residuum. Here, we have reported the isolation of multipotential stem cells from hemangioma tissue that give rise to hemangioma-like lesions in immunodeficient mice. Cells were isolated based on expressio...

BACKGROUND Vascular tumors of the kidney are rare tumors that are usually diagnosed and confirmed by histopathological examination due to the difficulty in definitive diagnosis by clinical and radiological examination. Anastomosing hemangioma is a rare variant of capillary hemangioma that mimics angiosarcoma. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 55-year-old female with a history of partial ...
