IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF HEPATIC NUCLEAR FACTOR 4 ALPHA EXPRESSION IN THE CHOROID PLEXUS OF THE LATERAL AND 4TH VENTRICLES OF ADULT MALE RAT BRAIN.

Objective: The aim: This study aims to compare the lateral and fourth ventricles of CPs using hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α), metabolism marker, to evaluate the functional activity of this tissue in two regions.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Ten adult male albino rats were used to study the histological features of the CPs and to study the functional activity by quantitative immunohistochemical labelling with HNF4α marker.

Results: Results: The CP of the fourth ventricle had more functional activity than the CP of the lateral ventricle.

An additional strip of mesh minimizes hernia recurrence after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair. An analysis of 490 cases over 10 years.

Aim: The laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has gained significant interest over the years as an alternative to the conventional open technique as a result of its faster recovery time, reduced postoperative pain and numbness. However the recurrence rates are in the order of 2.3% compared to the 1.
