Cellulite affects almost all women, and it is characterized by surface relief alterations, mainly located on the thighs and buttocks, and other areas. Whereas depressed lesions occur due to the presence of thick subcutaneous fibrous septa that pull the skin surface down, raised areas result from the projection of underlying fat to the skin surface. We support that the absence of cellulite can be defined as the ideal balance between the mechanical forces that act between the subcutaneous structures, such as fat and fibrous septa and muscles, and the overlying skin.

Purpose: To examine the anatomy of the orbital septum posterior to the medial canthal tendon area.
Materials And Methods: We performed 3 anatomical dissections in the present study. The first one was a microscopic study in which exenterated specimens from 6 Japanese cadavers (age from 77 to 93 years at death) were cut inferno-horizontally, including the Müller muscle, medial rectus pulley, and lateral rectus pulley, and stained with Masson's trichrome.

Renal interstitial fibrosis, a condition prevalent in aging humans and animals, is closely linked to the eventual development of renal failure. Establishing an animal model that exactly replicates the pathogenesis of renal interstitial fibrosis induced by natural aging in humans is crucial for advancing mechanistic studies and testing antifibrotic therapies. Implanted allogeneic or xenogeneic cells are cleared by the immune system when stem cell therapy is applied in nonimmunodeficient animal fibrosis models, affecting the effect of the intervention and making it difficult to demonstrate the survival, proliferation, differentiation, or secretion of the delivered autologous human-derived cells.

Background: Ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor (EMCMT) is a rare neoplasm that mainly affects the tongue and harbors recurrent, although not exclusive, gene fusions. Owing to its rarity, overlapping features with other tumors may lead to challenges in the microscopic diagnosis. We aimed to perform a systematic review focusing on the histomolecular findings of EMCMT of the oral and maxillofacial region and to evaluate the possible association between microscopic features with the genetic background.

Introduction And Objectives: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) may progress to clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) before the development of cirrhosis. This study aimed to investigate CSPH incidence as well as the clinicopathological characteristics and predictive value of these features for the prognosis of patients with PBC, especially at early histologic stage.
Patients And Methods: Patients diagnosed with PBC between January 2013 and April 2022 were retrospectively enrolled.
