Prostatic needle biopsies from 142 patients were studied: 61 cases were "benign", 19 atypical small acinar proliferation, 31 high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, and 31 adenocarcinoma. Using univariate analysis of 46 previously described morphological features, 16 variables were selected, which were followed by multivariate discriminant analysis. Of these parameters, seven (glandular fusion, crystalloids, nucleolomegaly, papillary architecture, visibility of basal cell layer, areas of normal luminal cell nucleus/cytoplasm ratio and areas of high luminal cell nucleus/cytoplasm ratio) remained significant in discriminating the groups. Multivariate analysis selected a small panel of histological features as those most helpful in the differential diagnosis of proliferative lesions in prostate biopsies.

Background: Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like cells, causing chronic pelvic pain, adhesions and impaired fertility in women of reproductive age. Usually, these lesions grow in the peritoneal cavity in a hypoxic environment. Hypoxia is known to affect gene expression and protein kinase (PK) activity.

Objective: We investigated the effects of resveratrol (Res) and MCC950 on the pyroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the potential pathway.

Methods And Results: Compared with the control (Con) group, the atherosclerosis (AS) group showed calcified nodules, which suggested that the calcification medium induced the calcification of VSMCs. VSMCs showed proliferative activity and significantly attenuated calcification under treatment with 10 mol/L Res.

Background: Corneal squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a rare neoplasm of dogs that can be treated with various modalities, principally by superficial keratectomy (SK) surgery. It is common to treat cSCC with multiple adjunctive therapies, but this may not always be practical for clinicians, clients, or patients.

Aim: This retrospective study describes the signalment of affected dogs, concurrent medical therapy, and success rate of surgical treatment of cSCC with SK surgery alone or in combination with adjunct therapy.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic and incurable skin inflammation driven by an abnormal immune response. Our study aims to investigate the potential of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) primed mesenchymal stem cells (IMSCs) in targeting T cells to attenuate psoriasis-like inflammation, and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism involved.

Methods: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from the umbilical cord and identified based on their surface markers.

Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare, benign proliferative disease with unknown aetiology and high recurrence rate. To date, there are only eight reported cases affecting the larynx. Four were managed with total laryngectomy, whilst spontaneous regression happened in one case.
