Microvessel density and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors in breast carcinoma under the influence of rapamycin and platelet factor 4.
Indian J Pathol Microbiol
January 2021
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) are major endothelial growth factor receptors that influence the growth of a tumor. Microvessel density.
(: MVD) is the quantification method of various aspects of tumor vasculature that indicates angiogenic activity.
Article Synopsis
- Dengue virus is prevalent in Malaysia and G6PD deficiency may lead to more severe cases, prompting a study on the oxidative responses of infected monocytes in these individuals.
- Monocytes from G6PD-deficient individuals showed higher infection rates and increased oxidative stress when compared to normal controls, along with lower levels of nitric oxide and superoxide anions.
- These findings suggest that the altered redox state in G6PD-deficient individuals enhances viral replication, potentially leading to higher viral loads and increased transmission risk.
This study describes the prevalence of Clostridium difficile toxin (CDT) in loose stool samples from inpatients aged more than two years of a tertiary hospital. A total of 175 samples that had been examined were from stool samples that were sent to the Medical Microbiology & Parasitology Laboratory for various clinical indications. The toxin was detected by a commercial immunochromatograhic test, and the patients' demography, clinical features, treatment and outcomes were analyzed from their medical records.
