But with full investigations, the problem becomes easier. However, the final diagnosis depends on pathological reports of tissue biopsy [1]. The easy access of the skin nodule provides the soil for performance fine needle aspiration cytology and taking the samples by the pathologists, or the clinicians. Smear cytology gives many defaults[2]. Performance of cell blocks was a trial to avoid these defaults and improve the diagnosis. The results of smear and cell block examinations were compared with examination of tissue biopsies. Methodology: Two hundred twenty five skin and subcutaneous nodules from 225 patients underwent the material of this study. The patients were selected from those referred topathology department, faculty of medicine Zagazig University, through the period between January 2018 and December 2020. Fine needle aspirations were performed utilizing the ordinary 22-gaugeneedle 10 cc syringes. Cell blocks were done utilizing the remnants in the syringe after performance of the smears. Histopathological examination was done using biopsies taken later on. Results: According to tissue biopsy examination: Benign lesions constitute the commonest findings (180 cases) 80% 0f cases: Lipoma35 cases (15.5%), Adipose tissue30 cases (13.3%), Fibrolipoma 20 cases (8.8%), Fibroma20 cases (8.8%), Juvenile fibroma 5 cases (2.2%), Neurofibroma 5 cases (2.2%), Sebaceous cyst in 25 cases (11.1%), Implantation cyst, or dermoid cyst 20 cases (8.8%), Pilomatrixoma 5 cases (2.2%), Seborrheic keratosis 10 cases (4.4%), Madura foot (actinomycosis) 5 cases (2.2%).

Malignant lesions 25 cases (11.11%): Basal cell carcinoma10 cases (4.4%), squamous cell carcinoma 10 cases (4.4%), Basosquamous cell carcinoma 5cases (2.2%). For the FNAC smear examination, the sensitivity test was: 83.01%, the specificity test was: 16.66%. For the cell blocks examination, the sensitivity test was: 97.77%, specificity test was: 100%. Conclusion: Smear cytology is an easy, rapid test for diagnosis of skin nodule and performance of cell blocks improves its sensitivity and specificity outcome, but both must be attempted, because smear may be inefficient for some cases while cell block cannot be performed others.","PeriodicalId":15528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology and Histology","volume":"31 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79151630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic accuracy between IOFS and permanent paraffin-embedded sections in the endpoint of surgery. Method: The authors reviewed the histopathological results of 383 brain tumours, including IOFS and permanent histological diagnosis. The cases were classified into three diagnostic compatibilities (i) Perfect fit; the diagnosis of IOFS was identical to the permanent diagnosis, (ii) Partial compatibility; IOFS diagnosis was not incorrect but was too broad to be considered full compatibility, (iii) Conflict; IOFS diagnosis is completely different from the permanent diagnosis. The permanent diagnosis used as a primary criterion was compared to the IOFS diagnosis and recurrence rate using different statistical methods. Results: The mean age of the whole cases was 37-years with male: female ratio 1:2. Around 84% of the patients underwent craniotomy and tumour resection, while 15% only underwent tumour biopsy. Approximately, 53.8% of the cases revealed perfect matching in the diagnosis between IOFSs and permanent sections, while 16.2% of the cases revealed complete mismatching in the diagnosis between the sections. The remaining 30% of the cases showed partial compatibility in the diagnosis between the two diagnostic methods. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate among all cases of different diagnostic compatibility (P-value= 0.54). Conclusion: There is a diagnostic discrepancy between IOFSs and permanent sections. However, cases that revealed no consensus in the diagnoses showed no negative effect on the patient outcome. Further studies should be conducted to explore the reasons of this conflict in the diagnosis between the two diagnostic methods.

The related biochemical and pathological changes as well asthe expression levels of antiviral biomarkers, namely Mx-A and 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (2'-5'-OAS)were investigated. Cytotoxicity of AgNPs and AgNP-H2O2 was monitored against Vero cellsusing MTT assay. Data revealed that the toxicity was concentration dependent and AgNP-H2O2was significantly (P<0.05)toxicthan AgNPs recording an IC50value of 0.864 and7μM/ml, respectively. Oxidative stress markers showed elevated reactive oxygen species and decreased lactate dehydrogenase post treatment with AgNPs and AgNP-H2O2 compared to untreated cellcontrol.
