Purpose: This study aims to determine the correlation between microvessel density of CD34 immunolabelled blood vessels and CD34 mRNA gene expression in colorectal cancer tissue.
Material/methods: Standard immunohistochemistry and gene expression was perform on samples collected from 76 patients with colorectal cancer in order to determinate the number of CD34 immunolabelled blood vessels and the relative quantity of CD34 mRNA.
Results: For the study group, the mean CD34 immunolabelled microvascular density (MVD) was of 307/mm, and the mean CD34 gene expression value for colon cancer was 2.303. The low p value (<0.001) of the Spearman correlation test showed a significant direct correlation between CD34 MVD and CD34 gene expression for the entire study group.
Conclusions: CD34 gene`s expression can be looked at as a prognostic factor in colorectal cancer.

Tumor structure is heterogeneous and complex, and it is difficult to obtain complete characteristics by two-dimensional analysis. The aim of this study was to visualize and characterize volumetric vascular information of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tumors using whole tissue phenotyping and three-dimensional light-sheet microscopy. Here, we used the diagnosing immunolabeled paraffin-embedded cleared organs pipeline for tissue clearing, immunolabeling, and three-dimensional imaging.

Since their discovery, satellite cells have showcased their need as primary contributors to skeletal muscle maintenance and repair. Satellite cells lay dormant, but when needed, activate, differentiate, fuse to fibres and self-renew, that has bestowed satellite cells with the title of muscle stem cells. The satellite cell specific transcription factor Pax7 has enabled researchers to develop animal models against the Pax7 locus in order to isolate and characterise satellite cell-mediated events.

Branchioma is an uncommon benign neoplasm with an adult male predominance, typically occurring in the lower neck region. Different names have been used for this entity in the past (ectopic hamartomatous thymoma, branchial anlage mixed tumor, thymic anlage tumor, biphenotypic branchioma), but currently, the term branchioma has been widely accepted. Branchioma is composed of endodermal and mesodermal lineage derivatives, in particular epithelial islands, spindle cells, and mature adipose tissue without preexistent thymic tissue or evidence of thymic differentiation.

Objective: Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy-associated Hippocampal Sclerosis (MTLE-HS) is a syndrome associated with various aetiologies. We previously identified CD34-positive extravascular stellate cells (CD34+ cells) possibly related to BRAF oncogenic variant in a subset of MTLE-HS. We aimed to identify the BRAF oncogenic variants and characterise the CD34+ cells.

Background: Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses characterized by intractable nasal polyps with prominent eosinophil infiltration. These eosinophils are presumably recruited from peripheral blood via vessels expressing peripheral lymph node addressin (PNAd), a set of glycoproteins decorated with 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis x (sLe) glycans that serve as L-selectin ligands. Based on the severity classification algorithm proposed by the Japanese Epidemiological Survey of Refractory Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (JESREC) study group, ECRS is divided into mild, moderate and severe groups; however, as yet there are few reports comparing the clinicopathological differences among these groups.
