-Associated Equine Encephalitis: A Case Report.

A case of encephalitis of unknown origin in the horse was investigated. Postmortem examination findings revealed a nonsuppurative granulomatous meningoencephalitis in the right hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. Testing for West Nile virus, equine herpes virus, equine infectious anemia, , , and were negative.

Quantitation of CDC6 and MCM5 mRNA in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

CDC6 and MCM5 play essential roles in eukaryotic DNA replication. Several studies have highlighted the potential of these proteins as molecular markers of dysplastic and malignant cells in histopathological diagnosis. The mode of expression of CDC6 and MCM5 mRNA and their significance in normal, dysplastic and malignant cervical cells remains to be elucidated.

The MTS assay as an indicator of chemosensitivity/resistance in malignant gynaecological tumours.

The aim of this study was to use the (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt) (MTS) assay to determine the response of 17 endometrial and 27 cervical tumours to cytotoxic drugs. Tumour samples were taken at surgery and cultured using the explant technique. Cells were incubated with chemotherapy drugs.
