lipoma/protease

Hibernoma is a rare benign adipocytic tumor composed of a proliferation of brown and white fat cells varying in their proportions. The tumor may also contain fat cells resembling lipoblasts, which makes it difficult to distinguish it from atypical lipomatous tumor/well differentiated liposarcoma

OBJECTIVE To determine a solution capable of discerning adipose versus nervous tissue, to aid in surgical separation of the adipose tissue which appears to be visually indistinguishable from nervous tissue in lipomyelomeningoceles (LMMs). METHODS The following solutes (in normal saline) were

Some LMNA mutations responsible for insulin-resistant lipodystrophic syndromes are associated with peripheral subcutaneous lipoatrophy and faciocervical fat accumulation. Their pathophysiologic characteristics are unknown. We compared histologic, immunohistologic, ultrastructural, and protein

HIV lipodystrophy is a heterogeneous syndrome, which has yet to be objectively defined, comprising peripheral lipoatrophy, central fat accumulation and lipomata, along with hyperlipidaemia, insulin resistance and lactic acidaemia. Both nucleoside analogues and protease inhibitors are involved, but

The perivascular epithelioid cell (PEC) is a unique cell type coexpressing contractile proteins (mainly α-smooth muscle actin), melanocytic markers, including microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), and estrogen and progesterone receptors. It is constantly present in a group of tumors

A genome-wide association study was performed to identify genetic factors involved in susceptibility to psoriasis (PS) and psoriatic arthritis (PSA), inflammatory diseases of the skin and joints in humans. 223 PS cases (including 91 with PSA) were genotyped with 311,398 single nucleotide
