Acid resins are residues characterised by elevated concentrations of hydrocarbons and trace elements, which were produced by mineral oil industries in Central Europe during the first half of the last century. Due to the lack of environmental legislation at that time, these wastes were dumped into excavated ponds in public areas without further protection. In this work, the long-term effects of ...

Malignant transformation of endometriosis is an infrequent complication. Clear cell carcinoma from endometriosis is very rare in the paraovarian cyst. To date no cases have been reported. We report a case of clear cell carcinoma arising from endometriosis of the paraovarian cyst with a brief review of literature.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the survival impact of lymphadenectomy in patients diagnosed with uterine clear cell cancer (UCCC). METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of UCCC were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program from 1988 to 2007. Only surgically treated patients were included. Statistical analysis using Student t-test, Kaplan-Meier su...

We present an intriguing case of adrenal myelolipomata occurring within an adrenocortical adenoma in concert with an ipsilateral clear cell renal cell carcinoma. A 50-year-old female presented with dull right flank pain and hematuria. Computed tomography indicated a 2.5 cm right renal mass as well as a 5 cm right adrenal mass. Both masses were surgically resected concurrently. Histology of the ...

The Shah-Kuh granitoid has intruded in the Triassic–Jurassic, pelitic and psammitic low-grade metamorphic rocks of the NE LutBlock, in Central Iran. Cordierite porphyroblasts are common in the southern pelitic sediments, but are rare in the northern psammiticrocks, in the contact aureole. Deformation fabrics in the contact aureole are well-preserved within the cordierite porphyroblasts. Therela...

The high level of seismicity and dense network of short-period stations in Japan allows a detailed characterization of regional phase propagation. There are substantial differences depending on the location of the source and stations. Despite the structural complexity, Lg is clearly seen in many parts of Japan. Lg is particularly well developed in the western part of the main island, Honshu, an...

We performed histological and histochemical investigations on the gastric glands of cats and dogs. So-called cardiac glands in the cat and dog have a small number of the parietal cells and the PAS-positive glandular cells in the base of these glands contain fine pepsinogen granules. Consequently, we consider them as undifferentiated gastric glands, and can find no differences between these glan...

Proteases are necessary for living organisms; they are ubiquitous and found in a wide diversity of sources. Proteases are the key enzymes in industrial application. Microbial protease plays an important role in biotechnological process. In this paper the focus of this study is screening on Proteolytic activity of lactic acid bacteria from various yogurts and fermented Milk. Lactic acid bacteria...

[1] Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and reequilibrate with Earth’s mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth’s 55,000 km of convergent plate margins and are the geodynamic system that builds island arcs. Excess density of the mantle lithosphere in subduction zones provides most of the power needed to move the plates while in...
