The length and structure of the transitional zone in the tunica media in the renal artery of adult male cats were investigated. In addition, the volume of the lumen and different layers in transitional and nontransitional zones in the right and left sides were also determined. Morphometrical, histological and stereological studies were performed on 16 renal arteries of 8 adult male cats. After ...

A transitional zone in the dog renal artery was documented and its parameters were recorded: length and volumes of the luminal wall, tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia—as well as these parameters in the nontransitional zone of artery. Twelve normal adult male dogs were studied. Th e specimens were processed in the routine manner for light and electron microscopy. Aft er the dete...

The human prostate gland comprises three distinct anatomical glandular zones, namely the peripheral, central and transitional zones. Although prostate cancer can arise throughout the prostate, it is more frequent in the peripheral zone. In contrast, hyperplasia occurs most frequently in the transitional zone. In this paper, we test the hypothesis that peripheral and transitional zones have dist...

BACKGROUND The 3D structure of the atrioventricular conduction axis incorporating detailed cellular and molecular composition, especially that relating to gap-junctional proteins, is still unclear, impeding mechanistic understanding of cardiac rhythmic disorders. METHODS AND RESULTS A 3D model of the rabbit atrioventricular conduction axis was reconstructed by combining histological and immun...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Germline mutations in the CDH-1/E-cadherin gene are, to date, the only known cause of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). While two recent series of prophylactic gastrectomy described microscopic foci of signet ring cell carcinoma in sample sections from 10 macroscopically normal stomachs, whole stomach phenotype has not been mapped. We aimed to describe the size and d...
