Background: Periprosthetic capsules are a common reaction of the body to silicone or polyurethane breast implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate similarities and differences in the histological features of periprosthetic capsules surrounding silicone implants and polyurethane foam-coated implants and to correlate those features with the age of the implants.
Methods: Tissues were studied from 41 periprosthetic capsules surrounding textured prostheses and from 20 capsules surrounding polyurethane foam-coated implants. For each sample we evaluated synovial metaplasia, density of collagen fibers or fibrosis, orientation of collagen fibers, and foreign body reaction (granulomatous reaction).
Results: Synovial metaplasia was seen in the capsular tissue from both types of implant, but more so from capsules surrounding polyurethane implants more than 5 years old. The density and orientation of the collagen fibers and the foreign body reaction were very similar for the two types of implant.

The present study aimed to evaluate the histologic, histochemical, and immunohistochemical changes in buffalo livers with cystic echinococcosis. Noninfected and infected livers were collected from the freshly slaughtered buffalo at the Aligarh abattoir. Small pieces of both infected and noninfected livers ( = 5) were cut and processed for histologic and histochemical studies.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) is a circuit-based treatment for severe, refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The therapeutic effects of DBS are hypothesized to be mediated by direct modulation of a distributed cortico-striato-thalmo-cortical network underlying OCD symptoms. However, the exact underlying mechanism by which DBS exerts its therapeutic effects still remains unclear.

Silicone-based breast implants are commonly used, but there are concerns about their long-term safety. While implantation results in the formation of a periprosthetic tissue that isolates the implant from the rest of the host body, silicone can leak and reach surrounding tissues. We combined histological analysis and gene expression profiling (RNA sequencing) of samples from human patients with silicone breast implants with different fillers (silicone or serum), surface topographies and/or shell rupture, and performed systematic cross-comparisons.
