Introduction: Primary skin leiomyosarcomas are infrequent neoplasms. They correspond to 2-3% of skin sarcomas and are most frequently located on the lower extremities, trunk and genitals.

Methods: We present a case of a 73-year-old man with a 4-month evolution of foreskin leiomyosarcoma. The lesion was biopsied for histopathological study with HE and immunohistochemistry with smooth muscle actin, specific muscle actin, CD34, p63 and S-100 (-).

Results: We observed a leiomyosarcoma of high histological grade and mitotic count. It was positive by immunohistochemistry for smooth muscle actin, while the other markers were negative. Surgical limits were compromised so a reoperation with wide margins of healthy tissue was necessary.

Conclusion: The skin lesions should be removed all, without exception, since they can be neoplasms of variable biological behavior. The histological study must be complemented with immunohistochemistry to differentiate them from other neoplasms. For the prognosis, the histological grade, size, location and the possibility of resection with wide margins must be taken into account.

() is a causative gene for genetic hydrocephalus found in hemorrhagic hydrocephalus () mice. The knockout (KO) rat has subcortical heterotopia with frequent brain hemorrhage as seen in mice. In this study, we report aberrant alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in the wall of lateral ventricle of the KO rats.

Liver fibrosis is a prevalent liver disease associated with significant morbidity, and the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) serves as the primary causative factor driving the progression of liver fibrosis. However, capillarization of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) induced by hepatic fibrosis can reduce nitric oxide (NO) production and bioavailability, which consequently loses the ability to retain HSCs dormant, leading to amplified HSCs activation. Herein, an elaborate micelle (VN-M@BN) loaded with benazepril (BN) was constructed by self-assembly of polymeric NO donor, aiming for the controlled release of NO in liver fibrosis lesions thereby impeding the progression of liver fibrosis.

regenerates one head when cut, but how forces shaping the head are coordinated remains unclear. Soft compression of 's head-regenerating tissues induces the formation of viable, two-headed animals. Compression creates new topological defects in the supracellular orientational order of muscular actin fibers, associated with additional heads.

Bacterial colonisation in hypertrophic scars (HSs) has been reported, yet the precise mechanism of their contribution to scar formation remains elusive. To address this, we examined HS and normal skin (NS) tissues through Gram staining and immunofluorescence. We co-cultured fibroblasts with heat-inactivated Staphylococcus aureus (S.

Background: A right adrenal gland may present in the form of adreno-hepatic fusion (AHF), in which the adrenal cells are interspersed among the hepatocytes without septation. This rare, naturally-occurring phenomenon may be associated with preoperative misdiagnosis. We present two cases of adrenal tumor in patients with AHF that were misdiagnosed, despite thorough preoperative work-ups.
