Proteoglycans (PGs) were isolated from yolk sac tumor and chondroitin sulfate large PG (core molecule with a molecular weight congruent to 200,000) and small PG (core molecule with a molecular weight congruent to 50,000) were detected. Immunohistochemical localization of PGs in three yolk sac tumors was investigated using monoclonal antibodies raised against both small and large PGs, which were purified from human ovarian fibroma capsule and a yolk sac tumor, respectively. The localization of large PG was observed to be distinct from that of small PG. A markedly positive reaction for antibody against large PG was observed in myxomatous areas, perivascular and perivesicular portions; hyaline globules were the most intensely reactive. In the areas showing a polyvesicular vitelline tumor pattern, the compact connective tissue stroma consisted of small PGs. It is conceivable that large PGs are synthesized by immature mesenchymal cells and also by epithelial-like cells as a basement membrane component, whereas small PGs are synthesized by mature fibroblastic cells synthesizing collagen. Immunohistochemical localization of other extracellular matrix components (laminin, fibronectin, type I-IV collagen) was also studied in relation to PG localization.

Ex Vivo Fluorescence Confocal Microscopy Meets Innovation and Revolutionary Technology, for "Real-Time" Histological Evaluation, in Pediatric Surgical Oncology.

Background And Aim: Ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) systems are innovative optical imaging tools that create virtual high-resolution histological images without any standard tissue processing, either freezing or fixing in formalin and embedding in paraffin. These systems have opened an era that would revolutionize pathological examination by providing rapid, real-time assessments across various pathology subspecialties, potentially replacing conventional methods that are tissue- and time-consuming. This study aimed to present the first utilization of FCM in pediatric surgical oncology, focusing on assessing the benefits, particularly in facilitating rapid and accurate diagnosis.

The role of the yolk sac membrane (YSM) and digestive tract in the processing of egg yolk proteins during embryogenesis is unexplored in the duck . Here, we investigated in the duck embryo the function of the YSM, proventriculus, and small intestine in protein digestion and uptake. We tested the expression of aminopeptidase N () and the oligopeptide transporter as well as the expression of cathepsin B () and cathepsin D () lysosomal genes in the YSM during incubation days 12, 14, 16-18, 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28 (the day of hatch).

Aims: Extragonadal yolk sac tumour (YST) is rare, and may present a diagnostic challenge. YST differentiation was recently reported in some somatically derived tumours in the sinonasal location and in the female genital tract, together with a SMARCB1/INI1 loss. We report two paratesticular/inguinal tumours with striking morphological and immunohistochemical similarities with YST, further expanding the spectrum of extragonadal tumours with YST-like morphology and SMARCB1/INI1 loss.

Article Synopsis
- Recent developments in wound dressings focus on natural bioactives like guar gum (GG) and gallic acid (GA), which can enhance healing compared to traditional materials.
- The study created a GA-GG conjugate through a polymerization process, confirming its successful integration and beneficial structural changes via various spectroscopic analyses.
- A polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) film made with chitosan showed strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, high swelling rates, and excellent wound healing efficacy, achieving 94.5% closure in comparison to untreated controls.

Article Synopsis
- Isopropylated phenyl phosphates (IPP) are organophosphate flame retardants used in various products, but their leaching raises toxicity concerns due to limited toxicological studies.
- Using zebrafish embryos, the study found significant biological disruptions, including morphological changes and alterations in dopamine levels, alongside behavioral deficits at low concentrations.
- Further analysis indicated IPP inhibits retinoic acid receptor activity and caused hypermethylation in embryos, with distinct impacts observed in the eyes, revealing changes in genes related to nervous system functions.
