Morphological and Immunohistochemical Features of the Heart under the Effect of Hydrogen Sulfide Balneotherapy.

The effects of hydrogen sulfide baths and sulfide-silt mud applications on the abdominal wall were studied in outbred white rats. Heart preparations stained with hematoxylin and eosin were analyzed and the mean numbers of cells expressing Ki-67, Nkx-2.5, and mesenchymal stem cell markers were determined.

[Morphological characteristics of Palatine tonsils candidiasis in the late stages of HIV-infection].

Candida lesion of Palatine tonsils was studied in 32 HIV-infected patients in the late stages of the disease using histological and cytological methods. There were used conventional methods during pathomorphological studies of palatine tonsils tissue fragments obtained by biopsy, and smears from the surface of the organ. It was found that micromycetes spp.

[LIPID PROFILE AND LIVER DISEASES AMONG PATIENTS WITH MORBID OBESITY].

Objectives: The aim of our study was to investigate associations between the lipid profile, liver condition and the level of BMI.

Methods: Our sample consisted of 58 patients: 30 - with morbid obesity and BMI - 40-49 (1 group), 28 - with superobesity, BMI - 50-69 (2 group). Lipids and hepatic functional tests were measured just prior to surgery.

[Neoangiogenesis and density of microvessels in breast carcinoma tissue].

The morphology of neoangiogenesis in breast carcinoma tissue is considered as a relationship between the density of the tumor vascular bed and different indices (age, histological type of a tumor, stage of the disease, tumor anaplastic proliferative activity, fibrosis degree, stromal cellularity, and parenchymal destructive changes).

[Age-related characteristics of breast invasive ductal carcinoma].

377 patients aged 30 to 79 years who had breast carcinoma were examined to study the age-related features of tumor anaplasia. The degree of tumor anaplasia was studied, in primary nodules, less and more than 2.5 cm in diameter in patients of different ages.
