The tertiary and quaternary structure of the lectin I from Ulex europaeus (UE-I) has been determined to 2.2 A resolution. UE-I is a dimeric metalloglycoprotein that binds the H-type 2 human blood group determinant [alpha-L-Fucalpha(1-->2)-beta-D-Galbeta(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc NAcalpha-]. Nine changes
An embryonal carcinoma was diagnosed in the abdominal cavity of a 55-day-old male calf. Macroscopically, a large volume of ascitic fluid was observed along with white to yellowish-white masses of various sizes densely located on the abdominal wall and the surface of abdominal organs. There was an
The present investigation was undertaken to assess the binding characteristics of eight different lectins to normal oral mucosa (11 cases), leukoplakia with varying degrees of dysplasia (five cases), and oral mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (12 cases) by the use of biotinylated lectins and avidin
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to investigate the effect of caries, in association with physiological root resorption, on the pulpal status of human primary molars.
METHODS
Fifty-three mandibular primary molars were obtained from children requiring extractions under general anaesthesia. Following
Leiomyoma is the most common benign neoplasm in the uterus and stomach but is rare in the oral cavity. There were only 5 oral cases in a series of 7748 leiomyomas of all sites. Benign smooth muscle neoplasms are classified into leiomyoma (solid leiomyoma), angiomyoma (vascular leiomyoma) and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the presence of vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) in human dental pulp and to correlate any expression with caries and pain.
METHODS
Permanent mandibular first molars were collected and categorized as intact or grossly carious. Grossly carious teeth were further categorized as
BACKGROUND
We report a case of a 61-year-old Japanese woman who developed intra-abdominal angiosarcomatosis 20 years after receiving radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
RESULTS
The surgically resected portion of the ileum showed diffuse proliferating angiosarcoma, with irregular
Giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma (GVES) is a rare variant of benign tumors of the sweat glands, which differs from common eccrine spiradenoma in both its size and vascularity. Clinically as well as macroscopically, this intradermal or subcutaneous encapsulated tumor might be mistaken for an
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EH) is a vascular neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential. We report a 22-yr-old female with a primary malignant EH of the iliac bone with adjacent soft tissue involvement which, during its metastatic course, presented as a pleural effusion. The effusion was
Hemangiopericytoma is an infrequent vascular tumor that rarely appears in the head and neck. The nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses are most often involved. Four cases are added to the literature and some important features are stressed. The clinical presentation is aspecific. Diagnosis is made
We report a case of angiosarcoma and dermal melanocytosis occurring simultaneously in the same lesion. We examined the primary and 2 metastatic lesions. Histopathologically, the anaplastic angiosarcoma cells had a tendency to form irregularly shaped small cavities. Immunohistochemically, they were
The role of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) as effector cells in tumor lysis was investigated in vitro. PMNs were obtained from the peritoneal cavity of C3H/He Mice injected ip with 2 ml of 12% casein sodium. These PMNs could lyse murine MM46 tumor cells in the presence of the plant lectin,
The etiology of aneurysmal bone cyst is still unknown. Most theories of the histogenesis of this lesion assume a vascular origin and speculation has focused on the characteristic pseudoendothelial lining of the cyst walls. In the present study, this structure has been subjected to enzyme
In order to shed more light on the controversial tissue histogenesis of the stromal cells (SC), light microscopic, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies were performed on surgical specimens of hemangioblastomas (36, 26 and 7 cases, respectively). SC were immunoreactive for vimentin,
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EH) is a recently described vascular neoplasm of borderline or intermediate malignant potential. This tumor arises from medium- to large-sized vessels, primarily involves the soft tissues of the extremities as well as the liver and lung, and rarely occurs in the
