A strong correlation has been found between carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity and fenestrations in juxtaepithelial capillaries of several tissues, including psoriatic lesions of human skin. In the present study we demonstrate that the majority of the capillaries in cherry hemangiomas are fenestrated and histochemically react CA positively. Obviously the occurrence of CA in these capillaries corresponds to the fenestrations of venous capillaries, which are numerously revealed by electron microscopy. In normal undiseased skin no capillary staining for CA was observed. Therefore in a large proportion of the capillaries of cherry hemangiomas the correlation between fenestrations and CA activity also exists. We suggest that the histochemical demonstration of CA activity might serve as a sensitive and simple marker for fenestrated capillaries in skin tissue.

Unlabelled: Understanding the genetic diversity of crops is of fundamental importance for the efficient use and improvement of germplasm resources. Different molecular genotyping systems have been implemented for population structure and phylogenetic relationships analyses, among which, microsatellites (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) markers have been the most widely used. This study reports the efficacy of SNPs detected via double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) and SSRs analyzed via capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high-resolution melting (HRM) in tomato.

Article Synopsis
  • Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare cancer where lymphoma cells grow exclusively within blood vessels, making diagnosis challenging due to the absence of typical swollen lymph nodes or tumors.
  • The study discusses the 21st documented case of IVLBCL associated with a cherry angioma in an 82-year-old man, highlighting the importance of skin biopsies for proper diagnosis.
  • Findings from the biopsy showed abnormal lymphoid cells within the cherry angioma, revealing key immunohistochemical markers, which confirm the utility of skin biopsies in detecting IVLBCL, despite there being limited previous case reports.

Montmorency cherry (MC) can improve endurance performance, but optimal pre-exercise timing of supplementation and influence of training status on efficacy are unknown. We investigated the effect of MC concentrate ingestion between 30- and 150-min pre-exercise in trained and recreational cyclists on 15-km time trial (TT) performance and exercise economy. Twenty participants (10 recreationally active, RA; 10 trained, T) completed 10 min of steady-state exercise (SSE) at 40%Δ (SSE) and a TT on four separate occasions following an unsupplemented (US), 30-, 90- or 150-min pre-exercise Montmorency cherry concentrate (MCC) supplementation conditions (MCC).

Article Synopsis
  • Pyogenic granuloma is a rapidly growing, red skin or mucosal lesion often seen in patients, which can bleed easily due to ulceration and is reported to be associated with COVID-19.
  • A 52-year-old woman developed skin eruptions three weeks after her second COVID-19 vaccine dose.
  • This case is noteworthy as it's the first documented instance of eruptive pyogenic granuloma following vaccination, and treatment with oral propranolol and PDL laser therapy showed effective results within six weeks.

Wound healing in the pediatric population is known to be a challenge and poorly studied. Split-thickness skin grafts, full-thickness skin grafts, and flaps overlap their applications with the growing field of cellular and tissue-based therapies. However, their role in pediatric reconstruction has yet to be defined.
