In biopsy specimens from a patient with tracheal and bronchial papillomatosis, human papillomavirus (HPV) type 11 DNA was identified. Treatment with leukocyte interferon was initiated, and the results of therapy was monitored by molecular hybridization of biopsy specimens with phosphorus 32-labeled HPV type 11 DNA after interferon application. There was no improvement of the clinical course, although two of five biopsy specimens showed a considerable reduction in the amount of HPV type 11. We discuss the reasons for the insufficient effect of therapy and propose molecular hybridization as an additional method for therapy control in viral diseases.

Objective: Fracture risk is increased in longstanding type 2 diabetes (T2D). High-resolution peripheral quantitative CT scans have demonstrated higher cortical porosity in T2D complicated by microvascular disease (MVD). We investigated if cortical bone resorption is followed by inadequate bone formation in individuals with T2D complicated by MVD.

To study its pathogenesis, we developed a human challenge model in which we infect the skin on the upper arm of human volunteers with to the pustular stage of disease. The model has been used to define lesional architecture, describe the immune infiltrate into the infected sites using flow cytometry, and explore the molecular basis of the immune response using bulk RNA-seq.

Department of Pathology, MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

Introduction: Thyroid neoplasms are the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, representing 3.8% of new cancer cases, and it is the ninth most common cancer overall. The immuno-histochemical marker Hector Battifora Mesotheilial-1 (HBME-1) is a monoclonal antibody that now finds its diagnostic utility as a positive marker for well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas.
