There have been several reports of temozolomide (TMZ) treatment of pituitary carcinomas and atypical adenomas. O6-methyl-guanine-DNA methyltransferase is not the sole molecule determining the sensitivity to TMZ in pituitary carcinomas and atypical adenomas. The Japan Society of Hypothalamic and Pituitary Tumors study suggests that MSH6, one of mismatch repair pathway enzyme, fulfills a contributor...... hiện toàn bộ
Formation of large vacuoles induced by cooperative effects of oncostatin M and dexamethasone in human fetal liver cellsMedical Molecular Morphology - Tập 41 - Trang 53-58 - 2008

The morphology of human fetal liver cells treated with both oncostatin M and dexamethasone was strikingly different from those of cells treated with either oncostatin M or dexamethasone alone. Cotreatment with oncostatin M and dexamethasone resulted in the appearance of numerous large vacuoles. The size of the vacuoles varied among individual cells, ranging from 0.05 to 20 μm depending on the cell...... hiện toàn bộ
A case of “ETV6-FISH-negative” secretory carcinoma of the parotid gland: immunohistochemical studyMedical Molecular Morphology - Tập 54 - Trang 296-300 - 2021

Secretory carcinoma of the salivary glands is a relatively new disease concept, and is characterized by “morphological resemblance to mammary secretory carcinoma and ETV6–NTRK3 gene fusion.” Herein we describe a confusing case and briefly discuss practical diagnostic problems. The patient was a 71-year-old Japanese man who had a tumor consistent with secretory carcinoma at the microscopic and immu...... hiện toàn bộ
Squamous cell carcinoma with rhabdoid features of the gingiva: a case report with unusual histologyMedical Molecular Morphology - Tập 47 - Trang 240-245 - 2013

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with rhabdoid features (SCCRF) is extremely rare in the oral cavity. We report herein a case of oral SCCRF. The patient was a 69-year-old Japanese woman who had been suffering from a mass in the right lower gingiva. Right hemi-mandibulectomy was performed. The gingival tumor was composed of pleomorphic, non-cohesive ovoid tumor cells with abundant cytoplasm and eccen...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of moderate exercise on biochemical, morphological, and physiological parameters of the pancreas of female mice with estrogen deprivation and dyslipidemiaMedical Molecular Morphology - Tập 51 - Trang 118-127 - 2018

Menopausal women are at high risk of developing heart disease. However, physical exercise practice can reverse this scenario. We evaluated the biochemical, morphological, and physiological effects of moderate aerobic physical exercise on the pancreas of knockout mice for LDL receptor with estrogen deprivation by ovariectomy. Animals were divided into six groups (n = 5): sedentary non-ovariectomize...... hiện toàn bộ
Usefulness of immunohistochemistry to distinguish between secretory carcinoma and acinic cell carcinoma in the salivary glandMedical Molecular Morphology - Tập 54 - Trang 23-30 - 2020

Secretory carcinoma (SC) of the salivary gland is a relatively newly described disease, separate from acinic cell carcinoma (ACC), which frequently displays ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion. However, the differences between SC and ACC remain unclear. Here, histological reevaluation of 12 formerly diagnosed ACC cases was performed, which yielded a new diagnosis of SC in four cases due to a lack of obvious ac...... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanism of atopic cataract caused by eosinophil granule major basic proteinMedical Molecular Morphology - Tập 53 - Trang 94-103 - 2019

Atopic cataracts develop under the ages of 40 years, after which visual acuity rapidly declines. However, the mechanism underlying the development of atopic cataracts is not yet clear. We focused on the eosinophil granule major basic protein (MBP), which was detected in the aqueous humor of atopic cataracts previously, and which was cytotoxic. Specifically, we investigated its origin in this fluid...... hiện toàn bộ
Various copper and iron overload patterns in the livers of patients with Wilson disease and idiopathic copper toxicosisMedical Molecular Morphology - Tập 46 - Trang 133-140 - 2013

Wilson disease (WD) is a major type of primary copper toxicosis associated with hypoceruloplasminemia, while idiopathic copper toxicosis (ICT) is a minor type characterized by normoceruloplasminemia. Because ceruloplasmin is the major circulating ferroxidase, iron metabolism may be affected in patients with WD. Biopsied liver specimens obtained from patients with primary copper toxicosis were fixe...... hiện toàn bộ
