The purpose of the present investigation is to report some histochemical and cytospectrophotometric observations providng more objective evidence for the specific activity of the histochemical method for dihydrofolate reductase activity (5.6.7.8-tetrahydrofolate: E.C. 1.5.1.3). Kinetic factors of the enzymic reaction, such as fixation, pH, coenzymes, substrate concentration, Michaelis constant, temperature, time of incubation, aerobiosis, and anaerobiosis, activators and inhibitors, were investigated.

Immunohistochemical Expression of HBME-1 in a Spectrum of Thyroid Neoplasms.

Indian J Endocrinol Metab

October 2024

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.

Objective: Aim: To improve the results of treatment of patients with chronic wounds of the lower extremities by using complex treatment, including surgical interventions, VAC- therapy, as well as studying the effect of negative pressure on bacterial films of wounds, based on microbiological examination and immune-histochemical data.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: During the period from 2019 to 2023 at the department's clinic, 68 patients with chronic wounds of the lower extremities were examined and treated. These are mainly women (n=63) aged from 35 to 80 years.

Objectives: Reporting the histological effects of chronic stress on certain oral tissues, as well as the capacity of Thymus vulgaris (thyme) to protect tissues from stress and link both serum cortisol and serotonin levels.

Methods: 30 rats were randomly divided into a trio of groups: normal control (no treatment), stress group (chronic stress without treatment), and treatment group (chronic stress treated with thyme at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW orally via needle gavage daily for 21 days). At the end of the experiment, tongues and major sublingual glands (SLGs) were surgically removed and processed for histological and histochemical studies.
