Lipomatous hemangiopericytoma of the corpus spongiosum: a case report and review of the literature.
Int J Clin Exp Pathol
January 2019
Article Synopsis
- Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare type of soft tissue tumor that seldom affects the urogenital system, and this report details the first case of lipomatous HPC found in a 37-year-old man.
- The tumor appeared as a rapidly growing mass, exhibiting unique features on CT imaging and showing low mitotic activity under microscopic examination, along with specific immunohistochemical markers.
- After adequate surgical removal, the patient showed no signs of local recurrence or distant metastases during an 18-month follow-up, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring due to the tumor’s unpredictable behavior.
Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Scarlet Tiger moth Callimorpha dominula (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Arctiidae).
Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal
September 2016
Article Synopsis
- The mitochondrial genome of the Scarlet Tiger moth (Callimorpha dominula) is 15,496 base pairs long and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region.
- Most of the protein-coding genes start with ATN codons, except COX1, which uses CGA, and some genes have incomplete termination codons.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicates that C. dominula is more closely related to other moths in the Arctiidae family than to those in other families.
[Effects of endogenous dopamine on two-state voltage oscillations of striatum medium spiny neurons].

Objective: To explore the effects of endogenous dopamine (DA) on striatum medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in acute brain slices by the means of electrophysiology and elucidate the impact of nigrostriatal circuit loop on the functional status of MSNs.
Methods: Various structural combinations of striatum and cortex or/and substantia nigra were used to explore the conditions with appearance of spontaneous two-state voltage oscillations. And the blockage of dopaminergic or glutamic acid receptor was employed to examine how amino glutaminic acid from cortex and dopamine from substantia nigra influenced two-state voltage oscillations.
The human homolog of a fungal nuclear migration protein (hNUDC) has recently been shown in in vitro studies to overlap in function with the cytokine factor thrombopoietin (TPO) in its ability to induce human megakaryocyte development. In the present study, we sought to confirm the hypothesis that combination of TPO and NUDC may result in additive or synergistic effects on megakaryocyte maturation in bone marrow. For this purpose, murine bone marrow cells were stimulated with murine NUDC (mNUDC), either alone or in conjunction with murine thrombopoietin (mTPO), in serum-free medium.
