Article Synopsis
  • - The study compared the effects of storing six different healthy tissue types (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, and kidney) at two different temperatures (-20 °C and -150 °C) for three months on tissue histomorphology and DNA quality.
  • - Results showed that tissue stored at -150 °C experienced higher levels of histomorphological damage, while tissues at -20 °C maintained better structure and had higher DNA concentration, particularly in liver samples.
  • - The findings suggest that storing tissues at -20 °C is just as effective, if not better, for preserving DNA quality and histomorphology compared to the ultra-cold -150 °C storage method.

Purpose: To investigate the microvessel density (MVD) and proliferation in prostate cancer (PC) core biopsies.

Methods: Core biopsy samples of PC tissue from 45 patients were routinely processed and embedded in paraffin. The samples of PC formed the investigated group (n=25), while samples of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) served as controls (n=20).

Background/aim: Drug abuse remains a significant social problem in many countries. The aim of the study was to estimate association between pulmonary histopathological changes and results of toxicological analyses in forensic autopsies of illicit drug users.

Methods: This investigation was performed in the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Belgrade, and in the Clinical Center, Department of Forensic Medicine, Kragujevac, from 2000 to 2004, and included 63 medicolegal autopsies of heroin or other drug consumers who suddenly died.
