Central Odontogenic Fibroma combined with Central Giant Cell lesion of the mandible. Immunohistochemical profile.
2011
Central Odontogenic Fibroma is a benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that makes up less than 5% of odontogenic tumors. There is a variation of this lesion that includes a zone of giant cells. This neoplasm is characterized by fibroblast proliferation, a component of apparently inactive odontogenic epithelium within a mature connective tissue stroma and multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells. Clinically, it manifests as a slow-growing central lesion, which causes painless cortical expansion and may occasionally cause the displacement of adjacent dental organs or resorption. We present a new case of this combined lesion that was revealed radiographically as a well-defined radiolucent ar…
Changes in immunohistochemical levels and subcellular localization after therapy and correlation and colocalization with CD68 suggest a pathogenetic …

In an earlier work, the role of heat shock protein (Hsp60) in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) was suggested by its significant increase in the pathological mucosa parallel with an increase in inflammatory cells. More data in this direction are reported in this work. We analyzed by immunohistochemistry biopsies of colon tissue from 2 groups of patients with UC and treated with either 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) alone or in combination with a probiotic. We looked for inflammatory markers and Hsp60. Both the treatments were effective in reducing symptoms but the group treated with both 5-ASA and probiotics showed better clinical results. Amelioration of symptoms was associated wi…
AB0189 Macrophages polarization in the gut of patients with ankylosing spondylitis
2013
Background Subclinical gut inflammation occurs in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and long term evolution to overt Crohn’s disease (CD) has been described in these patients. Gut mucosal macrophages represent the largest pool of tissue macrophages in the body. Different pathways of macrophage activation have been described in humans. Objectives To study the macrophages polarization occurring in the inflamed gut of AS patients. Methods Twenty two consecutive HLA-B27 + Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) patients, 15 Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients and 15 normal controls were included in this study. Four AS patients developed an overt CD during the follow-up and were included. Ileal macrophage…
Symmetrical palatal fibromatosis: An additional case report with immunohistochemical characterization
2021
Background The term "symmetrical palatal fibromatosis" was recently suggested to designate bilateral palatal lesions presenting as typically broad, "mirror" images on the posterior lateral region of the hard palate. Purpose We report an additional case of this as-yet poorly understood oral lesion in a 67-year-old male patient, with emphasis on differential diagnoses and immunohistochemical characterization. Case Report The histopathological examination demonstrated a hypocellular, fibrous connective tissue with prominent thick collagen bundles and few blood vessels. Scattered large, stellate, and sometimes binucleated fibroblasts were found. Immunohistochemistry was positive for vimentin an…
Tenascin expression patterns and cells of monocyte lineage: relationship in human gliomas.
2000
Stromal extracellular matrix (ECM) components are thought to play an important role in regulating invasion of human gliomas. Macrophages and microglial cells may heavily influence the integrity of the extracellular compartment of gliomas, and the affected ECM may play a key role in regulating migratory activity of both tumor cells and macrophages/microglia. The aim of this investigation was to study immunohistochemically the expression patterns of four ECM components: fibronectin, laminin, collagen IV, and tenascin (TN) in human gliomas, with special attention to TN. Our main goal was to study the possible correlation between TN expression and macrophagic/microglial infiltration in gliomas.…
Fibronectin as an adjuvant in the diagnosis of oral inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor
2009
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a distinctive lesion composed of myofibroblastic spindle shaped cells accompanied by inflammatory infiltrate that may arise in various organs. It is believed to be a noneoplastic inflammatory condition, although this is still controversial. The recognition of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor as an entity is important especially to avoid unnecessary surgery. A few cases have been reported in the oral cavity. This report primarily presents a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that arose in the floor of mouth of a 23-year-old woman. The proliferating spindle cells were immunoreactive for vimentin, smooth muscle actin, and muscle specific actin an…
Immunohistochemical Characterization of Human Synovial Bursa Cells by Light and Transmission Electron Microscopy: Where do These Cells Come From?
2007
En el presente estudio se examinaron bolsas sinoviales humanas a traves de microscopia de luz y electronica de transmision. Para la microscopia de luz, el tejido de las bolsas se tino con Azan, H-E y anticuerpos monoclonales (CD14, CD33, CD36, CD68, laminina). Para la microscopia electronica las bolsas fueron fijadas con solucion de Karnovsky y tetroxido de osmio al 1,5% (Os04) en agua destilada y contrastada con acetato de uranilo al 5% y embebido en Epon®. En primera instada, el fenotipo antigenico fue caracterizado, concluyendose acerca del origen de las celulas que componen la bolsa sinovial. Histologicamente la bolsa fue dividida en dos capas distintas - la intima - la cual es formada …
SELE (selectin E, endothelial adhesion molecule 1)
2008
This gene can be found on Chromosome 1 at location 167,958,406-167,969,803. The gene is composed of 14 exons, spanning approximately 12 kb of genomic DNA in the telomere-to-centromere orientation on chromosome region 1q22-1q25. The promoter region is not included.
SAT0374 IL-36A Axis is Modulated in Patients with Primary Sjogren's Syndrome and Implicated in the Regulation of Gamma-Delta T Cells Immune Functions
2015
Background IL-36a is a cytokine that predominantly acts on naive CD4+ T cells and gamma-delta T cells via the IL-36 receptor. IL-36a has been recently demonstrated to be involved in human disease, such as psoriasis, by modulating innate and adaptive immune responses. Objectives In this study we aimed to investigate the expression of IL-36 axis and to assess the role of γδ T cells in patients with primary Sjogren9s syndrome (pSS). Methods Blood and minor labial salivary glands (MSG) biopsies were obtained from 35 pSS and 20 nSS patients. Serum IL-36a was assayed by ELISA. IL-36a, IL-36R, IL-36RA, IL-38, IL-22, IL-17, IL-23p19, expression in MSGs was assessed by rt-PCR and tissue IL-36a and I…
