Peripheral T-cell lymphoma associated consecutively with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and hypereosinophilic syndrome

2003

:  Both hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and hypereosinophilic syndrome have been associated with hematologic neoplasms and are respectively related to an overproduction of the cytokines Thelper 1 (Th1) and Th2 by tumor cells or reactive cells. To our knowledge, this is the first time a case of a peripheral T-cell lymphoma consecutively associated with both paraneoplastic conditions has been reported. Importantly, in this case when the lymphoma exclusively involved the bone marrow, severe paraneoplastic systemic damage, a CD8+ suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype and a hypereosinophilia not related to high levels of interleukin (IL)-5 was found. Interestingly, progression of the lymphoma coinci…

Myopathology of non-infectious inflammatory myopathies - the current status.

2007

Besides the classical inflammatory myopathies (IM), dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis, and inclusion body myositis, the much larger spectrum of IM includes focal and nodular myositis, granulomatous myositis, macrophagic myofasciitis, graft vs. host myositis, eosinophilic myositis, and other immune-associated conditions, some of them only recently described. In addition, paraneoplastic, statin-induced and critical illness myopathies have been considered immune-associated IM. Infectious, i.e., bacterial, viral, and parasitic IM are much less frequent in the northern hemisphere. In IM, muscle biopsy is an essential diagnostic procedure to initiate therapy. The myopathological spectrum encompa…

Focal palmoplantar and gingival keratosis ? A rare genodermatoses : case report

2020

Focal palmoplantar and gingival keratosis syndrome is a rare dominant inherited disease with an early onset in life. Clinically, the condition is characterized by pressure related thickening of the epidermis of the palms and soles, usually accompanied by pain and different levels of skin involvement and thickness between patients. Recently, we observed a 38-year-old woman with multiple non-removable, painless white plaques of variable size and thickness on the attached gingiva and a white plaque widespread across the hard palate. By further questioning, the patient comments that she has thick yellowish focal plaques in both soles of her feet. Histopathological analysis revealed a hyperplast…

Granular cell ameloblastoma of jaw: report of a case with an emphasis on its characterization

2013

Ameloblastoma is a neoplasm of odontogenic epithelium, especially of enamel organ-type tissue that has not undergone differentiation to the point of hard tissue formation. It accounts for approximately 10% of all tumors originating from gnathic bones. It exhibits diverse microscopic patterns which occurs either singly or in combination with other patterns. Granular cell ameloblastoma is a rare condition, accounting for 3.5% of all ameloblastoma cases that shows marked transformation in the cytoplasm of tumor cells, which are usually stellate reticulum like cells. The transformed cells possess very coarse, granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm. The “granular change” is thought to be due to a dysf…

Silver Impregnation of Alzheimer's Neurofibrillary Changes Counterstained for Basophilic Material and Lipofuscin Pigment

1988

A method is described in which selective silver staining of Alzheimer's neurofibrillary changes is combined with staining of cell nuclei, Nissl material, and lipofuscin granules. Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded sections of human autopsy tissue are silver stained according to a method proposed by Gallyas. Lipofuscin is stained by crotonaldehyde fuchsin following performic acid oxidation. Nissl substance is visualized by either Darrow red or gallocyanin-chrome alum staining. Architectonic units showing the specific pathology and the neuronal types prone to develop the neurofibrillary changes can be recognized using this technique.

Zur Leberbeteiligung bei der knotenf�rmigen reticul�ren eosinophilen Hyperplasie

1977

Beschreibung und Diskussion eines eosinophil akzentuierten Leberbefundes bei einer Patientin mit endogenem Ekzem und einer eosinophilen reticularen Hyperplasie (mit Bluteosinophilie), die hauterscheinungsbildlich dem Morbus Kimura nahekommt. Mithin scheinen im Gegensatz zu der bisherigen Meinung Innenorganbeteiligungen im Rahmen der reticularen Haut-Hyperplasie durchaus moglich.

Helicobacter pyloriinfection and nonmalignant diseases

2017

A substantial decrease in Helicobacter pylori-associated peptic ulcer disease has been observed during the last decades. Drug-related ulcers as well as idiopathic ulcers are becoming predominant and are more refractory to treatment; however, H. pylori infection still plays an important role in ulcer bleeding and recurrence after therapy. The effect of H. pylori eradication upon functional dyspepsia symptoms has been reviewed in this article and generally confirms the results of previous meta-analyses. Additional evidence suggests a lack of impact upon the quality of life, in spite of improvement in symptoms. The association of H. pylori with gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett's eso…

Identification of binding peptides on calcium silicate hydrate: a novel view on cement additives.

2014

Cement is the most used industrial product in the world. Although the chemical composition of the material has stayed more or less the same since its discovery by the Romans around 2000 years ago, [ 1 ] the performance has been increased by chemical additives. Spectacular buildings like the Willis Tower in Chicago, Taipei 101 or lately the over 800 m high Burj Khalifa in Dubai were realizable thanks to the development of high performance building materials. [ 2 ] Not only for such prestige objects but also in daily building processes, the trend goes towards always higher buildings because of the continued urbanization which was identifi ed already in 1982 as one of the so-called “megatrends…

Estimation of the effect of the acidosis and alkalosis on the anesthetic potency of local anesthetics by biopartitioning micellar chromatography and …

2004

Local anesthetics are hydrophobic compounds and weak bases with protonation constants ranged between 7.5 and 8.8. These drugs block reversibly nerve conduction near their site of application or injection and thus produce temporary loss of feeling or sensation in a limited area of the body. The efficacy of anesthetic blockade of local anesthetics depends on the charged/uncharged form ratio and the hydrophobicity of the compounds. In addition their toxicological effects have been reported to be highly dependent on the physiological pH. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), that use micellar solutions as mobile phases, have proven to b…
