Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Cannot Predict the Presence of a Rare Myoid Gonadal Stromal Testicular Tumor: A Case Report.

Testicular myoid gonadal stromal tumors (MGSTs) are rare neoplasms. While past research has detailed the pathological characteristics of these tumors, the radiological differences between MGST and other types of testicular tumors have not been elucidated. Our study aimed to reveal the possible distinctive features of MGST using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Nuclear protein in testis midline carcinoma in a Turkish boy: a case report.

Background: Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) midline carcinoma (NMC) is an undifferentiated carcinoma, usually localized to the midline and presenting a translocation in the gene for bromodomain containing protein 4. Here, we report a rare case of NMC in an 8-year-old Turkish boy.

Case Report: There were masses in the lung, liver, and iliac wing representing metastases.

Multiple primary intraosseous meningioma mimicking fibrous dysplasia: a case report.

Primary intraosseous meningioma (PIM) is a rare subtype of primary extradural meningiomas. These rare ectopic meningiomas have been usually reported in the frontotemporal regions of the calvarium, orbits, and anterior cranial fossa. We report a case with bilateral tumors located in frontoparietal regions of calvarium.

Histopathologic and molecular comparative analyses of intravesical Aurora kinase-A inhibitor Alisertib with bacillus Calmette-Guérin on precancerous lesions of bladder in a rat model.

Purpose: Recent studies have shown that Aurora-A expression is associated with bladder cancer initiation and progression. In this study, the effects of intravesical Aurora-A inhibitor Alisertib (ALS) and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) were compared on bladder carcinogenesis.

Methods: Two mg N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea was administered intravesically to forty of Wistar-albino rats every other week for 8 weeks.

Monitoring the response of urothelial precancerous lesions to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin at the proteome level in an in vivo rat model.

Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the best treatment modality for progression of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. We aimed to monitor changes at the proteome level to identify putative protein biomarkers associated with the response of urothelial precancerous lesions to intravesical BCG treatment. The rats were divided into three groups (n = 10/group): control, non-treated, and BCG-treated groups.

Effect of bone marrow and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells on the natural course of corneal scarring after penetrating injury.

In the present study, we investigate and compare the efficacy of bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) in corneal wound healing. A penetrating injury was created in the right corneas of Wistar rats (n = 40). Ten microliters of phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) containing 2 × 10(5) green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled bone-marrow-derived MSCs to group 1 (n = 15), 10 μl of PBS containing 2 × 10(5) GFP-labeled adipose-tissue-derived MSCs to group 2 (n = 15), 10 μl PBS was injected into anterior chamber in group 3 (n = 10, control).

Endobronchial recurrence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma mimicking foreign body aspiration.

A 2-year-old patient with a history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) was presented to our hospital with the complaint of shortness of breath and wheezing. Posteroanterior chest radiograph revealed hyperlucency and hyperexpansion of the right hemithorax. We performed computed tomography (CT) because of a suspicion of foreign body aspiration.

Riluzole- and Resveratrol-Induced Delay of Retinal Ganglion Cell Death in an Experimental Model of Glaucoma.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of the neuroprotective agents riluzole and resveratrol on the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) when administered alone or in combination.

Materials And Methods: Experimental glaucoma was induced by injecting hyaluronic acid into the anterior chamber of Wistar albino rats weekly for a six-week period. Intraocular pressure was measured before and immediately after glaucoma induction.

Effects of subconjunctivally injected bevacizumab, etanercept, and the combination of both drugs on experimental corneal neovascularization.

Objective: To compare the effect of subconjunctivally injected bevacizumab, etanercept and the combination of both drugs on experimental corneal neovascularization in rats.

Design: Experimental study.

Participants: 28 male Wistar-Albino rats.

The impact of subconjuctivally injected EGF and VEGF inhibitors on experimental corneal neovascularization in rat model.

Aim And Scope: To investigate the inhibitory effect of subconjunctival application of VEGF antibodies bevacizumab, ranibizumab, pegaptanib, and HER2 antibody trastuzumab on corneal neovascularization in a rat model of experimental corneal neovascularization.

Material And Method: Thirty male Wistar albino rats were included in the study. A chemical burn was induced in central cornea of one eye of the rats by a 75% silver nitrate and 25% potassium nitrate stick.

The effect of subconjunctival platelet-rich plasma on corneal epithelial wound healing.

Objective: Single-dose subconjunctival platelet-rich plasma (sPRP) injections with or without antibiotic treatment were investigated for their effect on corneal epithelial wound healing in a rabbit model.

Materials And Methods: A total of 24 rabbits were used in this study. After collecting intracardiac blood samples from 16 rabbits, platelet-rich plasma was obtained by centrifugation.

Tectocerebellar dysraphism with vermian encephalocele.

Tectocerebellar dysraphism is a very rare malformation associated with encephalocele and tectal deformity. This article presents tectocerebellar dysraphism with a solely vermian content of encephalocele and tectal beaking defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a 5-month-old girl who was successfully treated surgically and demonstrated excellent prognosis at the 4-year follow-up.

Chondrosarcoma of the talus: a case report.

We present histopathologic and imaging features, treatment alternatives, and follow-up of a patient with a secondary chondrosarcoma of talus. A 27-year-old man with a chondrosarcoma arising from a preexisting benign tumor was treated by talectomy. At 3 years' follow-up, there is no evidence of recurrence or metastasis.
