Biochar derived from olive oil pomace mitigates salt stress on seedling growth of forage pea.

Studies are being conducted to develop strategies to reduce the adverse effects of salinity stress. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the interactive effects of salinity stress with biochar on plant growth-the physiological and biochemical attributes of forage peas ( ssp. L.

A Retrospective Evaluation of the Epithelial Changes/Lesions and Neoplasms of the Gallbladder in Turkey and a Review of the Existing Sampling Methods: A Multicentre Study.

Objective: As there is continuing disagreement among the observers on the differential diagnosis between the epithelial changes/lesions and neoplasms of the gallbladder, this multicentre study was planned in order to assess the rate of the epithelial gallbladder lesions in Turkey and to propose microscopy and macroscopy protocols.

Material And Method: With the participation of 22 institutions around Turkey that were included in the Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Study Group, 89,324 cholecystectomy specimens sampled from 2003 to 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. The numbers of adenocarcinomas, dysplasias, intracholecystic neoplasms/adenomas, intestinal metaplasias and reactive atypia were identified with the review of pathology reports and the regional and countrywide incidence rates were presented in percentages.

Local Effect of Neurotrophin-3 in Neuronal Inflammation of Allergic Rhinitis: Preliminary Report.

Background: Allergic rhinitis is a common inflammatory nasal mucosal disease characterized by sneezing, watery nasal discharge, nasal obstruction and itching. Although allergen-specific antibodies play a main role in the allergic airway inflammation, neuronal inflammation may also contribute to the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Neuronal inflammation is primarily caused by the stimulation of sensory nerve endings with histamine.

Involvement of Rho kinase (ROCK) in sepsis-induced acute lung injury.

Indirect acute lung injury is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We investigated the link between Rho kinase (ROCK) activation and apoptotic cell death in sepsis induced acute lung injury. This hypothesis was tested by administering a specific, selective inhibitor of ROCK (Y-27632) to rats subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).

Β-catenin expression in in situ and infiltrative ductal carcinomas of the breast.

Objective: Cascades that include β-catenin that has a function in adhesion and interaction with tumor suppressor genes such as APC have important roles in many neoplasms. The aim of the current study was to confirm the effect of the β-catenin pathway in breast tumor carcinogenesis and invasion.

Material And Method: Polyclonal rabbit β-catenin antibody was applied to 52 cases of infiltrative ductal carcinoma and 28 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ using the Avidin Biotin complex immune peroxidase method.

Intrapelvic mass causing femoral compression neuropathy in a patient with Gaucher disease: a case report.

Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder in which glucocerebroside accumulates within the macrophages in any part of the body. Varying degrees of skeletal involvement may occur besides anemia, coagulation abnormalities and hepatosplenomegaly. Most of the factors influencing the quality of life in a patient with Gaucher disease are related to bone involvement.

[Incidental pathologies found in neck dissection: an unusual case report].

During the pathologic examination of neck dissection specimens, unexpected findings within lymph nodes may occasionally be uncovered. Such findings may include the presence of a second primary tumor or inflammatory disease, the discovery of which may have implications on management and prognosis. Incidental papillary thyroid carcinoma and necrotizing granulomatous inflammation were found in addition to squamous cell carcinoma metastasis in the pathological study of the neck dissection specimen in a 70-year-old male patient with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Supraclavicular metastases from a sex cord stromal tumor of the ovary.

Metastases to the supraclavicular fossa usually originate from head and neck or infraclavicular tumors. Ovarian primaries of supraclavicular metastases are very rare. Sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary account for 5-8% of all ovarian malignancies and there have been only a few case reports on distant metastases from these tumors.

Beta-catenin and CD44 expression in keratoacanthoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

CD44 and beta-catenin are adhesion molecules expressed on a wide variety of cells. Failure of this expression is believed to lead to disruption of cell-cell adhesion and to neoplasia. The aim of this study was to investigate the staining intensity of CD44 and beta-catenin in keratoacanthomas and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.

Efficiency of lornoxicam in lung and trachea injury caused by peroxynitrite.

Peroxynitrite is involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary diseases such as asthma, occupational pulmonary diseases and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to excessive production of nitric oxide or superoxide or both. Lornoxicam, a new oxicam derivative, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. In this study, we evaluated the role of lornoxicam in a peroxynitrite-induced pulmonary and tracheal injury model by measuring myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) levels in lung tissue and bronco-alveolar lavage fluid.

The potential of microscopic sterile sponge particles to induce foreign body reaction.

The sterile sponges may lose a significant amount of lint during their routine use in surgery, which is usually neglected. We designed an experimental model to evaluate the potential of sterile sponges to lose lint and to induce foreign body reaction in surgically created wounds. In 15 Wistar rats, separate subcutaneous pockets were created.

Tuberculosis of the aryepiglottic fold and sinus pyriformis: a rare entity.

Tuberculosis of the larynx and hypopharynx is an uncommon entity and rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of the laryngo-pharyngeal diseases. We describe a case of a 40-year-old man with tuberculous involvement of the aryepiglottic fold and medial wall of the sinus pyriformis mimicking a malignancy. Current literature concerning the clinical, histopathological, radiological and diagnostic features of this rare entity is discussed.

The effect of pentoxifylline in treatment of skin degloving injuries: an experimental study.

Background: Management of skin degloving injuries is still a problematic issue and the avulsed part of the skin may become necrotic. In this pilot study, we attempted to develop an experimental model for degloving injuries and investigated the efficacy of pentoxifylline, a well-known potent agent in enhancement of erythrocyte flexibility and tissue vascularization, in treatment of this injury model.

Methods: Degloving injuries were created in 15 rats' tails by circular puncturing of the skin at the middle of the tail and then applying moderate force to avulse the skin from the underlying tissue.

Central giant cell reparative granuloma of the mandible caused by a molar tooth extraction: special reference to the maneuver of drilling the surgical field.

Central giant cell reparative granuloma (CGCRG) is an uncommon benign, reactive osseous lesion usually located in the mandible and maxilla. Although it is histologically benign, it may be locally destructive. There is still controversy on its development and growth pattern.

Adnexal fascioliasis masquerading as ovarian cancer.

Background: Preoperative diagnosis of ovarian cancer is still problematic as multiple disease processes may present with pelvic mass. Fascioliasis is a parasitic disease producing unique clinical manifestations.

Case Report: A 49-year-old female patient admitted to our hospital with the complaint of occasional abdominal pain.

[A case of lumbar ganglion cyst causing radiculopathy].

Ganglion cysts represent a rare pathology mostly encountered in the lumbar region of the spinal column. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a ganglion cyst at the L4-5 level in a 46-year-old woman who had a complaint of long-standing pain in her right leg. The cyst was completely excised following total laminectomy at L4.

Interobserver variation in histopathological assessment of Helicobacter pylori gastritis.

Aim: Because the presence or absence of H pylori infection has important implications for therapeutic decisions based on histological assessment, the reproducibility of Sydney system is important. The study was designed to test the reproducibility of features of Helicobacter pylori gastritis, using the updated Sydney classification.

Methods: Gastric biopsies of 40 randomly selected cases of H pylori gastritis were scored semiquantitatively by three pathologists.
