Interpretation of p16 and p53 in the Classification of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva-An Interobserver Agreement Study.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva (vSCC) is currently categorized either as human papillomavirus (HPV) associated or independent. Immunohistochemical stains, p16INK4a (p16) and p53 are helpful biomarkers to support the designation of vSCC into 1 of the 3 tumor pathways: (1) HPV-associated, (2) HPV-independent, TP53 mutant, or (3) HPV-independent, TP53 wild type. Recently, a framework of p53 expression patterns in vSCC was proposed.

Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) and Interleukin-34 (IL-34) Expression in Canine Osteosarcoma in the Context of the Tumour Immune Microenvironment.

Canine osteosarcoma (OSA) is a malignancy that has been shown to modulate the host immune system. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF; CSF1) and interleukin-34 (IL-34; IL34) are both ligands of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R), and may play a role in the pathogenesis of a variety of human cancers, including OSA. This study aimed to, (1) assess M-CSF and IL-34 expression in canine OSA cell lines and tissue samples, and (2) determine any correlations between M-CSF and IL-34 expression and immune cell infiltrates within canine OSA tissues.

Human quad liver-on-chip system as a tool toward bridging the gap between animals and humans regarding toxicology and pharmacology of a cannabidiol-rich cannabis extract.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a major phytocannabinoid from . It is currently widely available and widely used in the USA, but despite its rapid progress to market, the pharmacology and toxicology of both CBD and cannabidiol-rich cannabis extracts (CRCE) remain largely unknown. The goals of this study were to investigate the potential of a novel human microphysiological system to emulate CRCE-induced hepatotoxicity and pharmacological properties demonstrated in animal models.

Inter-strain variability in responses to a single administration of the cannabidiol-rich cannabis extract in mice.

Cannabidiol (CBD) has gained widespread popularity; however, its pharmacological and toxicological profiles in the context of human genetic diversity remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the variability in metabolism and toxicity of CBD-rich cannabis extract (CRCE) in genetically diverse mouse models: C57BL/6J, B6C3F/J, and NZO/HlLtJ strains. Mice received a single dose of CRCE containing 57.

Same-Day Primary Care Referral Versus Usual Care for Patients With Elevated Blood Pressures Seen in a Preoperative Clinic.

Background While several studies have suggested that anesthesia and surgical care episodes provide an opportunity to improve the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, few studies have implemented and tested pragmatic care coordination efforts for this population. The present study aimed to examine the effects of same-day primary care referral vs. usual care on outpatient hypertension treatment among patients with elevated preoperative clinic blood pressure (BP).
