In the second case report showing a severe form of major depression and a suicide attempt, the tricyclic antidepressant drug doxepin failed to improve depressive symptoms. The selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor venlafaxine partly improved depressive symptoms. Lithium carbonate, a prophylactic drug, which shows antidepressant and antimanic effects, treated depressive symptoms successfully. The cardiac and renal adverse effects were controlled. In the third case report, citalopram was used to treat the chronic form of major depression; however the adverse effects such as sedating and drive-reducing effects and the weight gain were disturbing for the patient. The administration of the selective dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor bupropion ameliorated depressive symptoms and sleepiness, however caused hypertension and insomnia. Due to this changed medication, the patient succeeded in coping with a stressful life event, an anti-cancer therapy.","PeriodicalId":15528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology and Histology","volume":"28 10","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72568208","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}

Recently there has been progressive change to more extensive cytoreductive surgery (ECS) as evidence shows this improves patient prognosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the change in histopathology work load with change in surgical practice for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients at Hammersmith Hospital, UK. Materials and methods: Specimens for patients with ovarian cancer (n=116) were selected and classified into three groups: (i) standard debulking surgery; (ii) a mix of standard debulking and ECS and (iii) ECS only. The types of specimens and numbers of blocks in each group were studied. Results: Post-hoc analysis demonstrates a statistically significant increase in the number of specimens per case from standard debulking to the mixed group (p<0.0001) and to the ECS group (p<0.0001). There is also a statistically significant increase in the number of blocks from standard debulking to the mixed (p<0.0001) and to the ECS groups (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The study shows there is a significant increase in the histopathology workload with the shift from standard to extensive cytoreductive surgery, as well as increase in the complexity and range of specimens sent for histopathological examination. It is essential that centres opting for a shift to ECS ensure that adequate provisions and resources are in place to accommodate these changes.","PeriodicalId":15528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology and Histology","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82122958","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}

Aim of work: So, the current study aimed at demonstration of histological and p53 immuno-histochemical expression of the mucosa of rat urinary bladder as a marker sharing in process of apoptosis following the combined administration of nicotine and caffeine. Materials and methods: The animals were divided randomly into 4 groups: control, Nicotine, caffeine and combined Nicotine and Caffeine. The urinary bladder was processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain, histochemically by PAS and immunohistochemically by Anti p53 antibodies. Results: After nicotine there was apparent increase in the layers of epithelium with intraepithelial lymphocytes. The strong PAS positive reaction of the basal layer together with P53 positive expression of few lamina propria cells was evident. After caffeine, the epithelial layers and mononuclear cells of the lamina propria were increased. There was a marked decrease in the PAS positive reacting cells of the superficial cell layer. The groups that have administered combine caffeine and nicotine; there were focal areas of epithelial erosion with proliferating basal layers. There was a strong PAS positive reaction under the basal layer and p53 positive expression of many lamina propria cells. Conclusion: The present study had concluded that the chronic administration of combined nicotine and caffeine could result in epithelial hyperplasia associated with positive P53 expression in nuclei of lamina propria cells of the urinary bladder mucosa.","PeriodicalId":15528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology and Histology","volume":"91 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74071065","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}

Recently, bone marrow edema is has been demonstrated to associate with knee pain and osteoarthritis. Thus, targeting bone marrow edema may provide a promising approach for relieving knee pain and delayed osteoarthritis development and progression. The present study highlights the importance of bone marrow edema to recurrent knee pain, and demonstrates an alternative way for treating patients who have osteoarthritic knee pain caused by bone marrow edema, and are not suitable for total knee replacement as a result of contraindications such as multiple internal diseases and high risk of operation.","PeriodicalId":15528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology and Histology","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85877027","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}

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate and give rise to other cell types. The aim of the present work is to study the possible therapeutic role of MSCs in the treatment of the deleterious changes occurred in renal cortex and medulla of adult male albino rat model of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) ARI. Material and methods: Forty adult male albino rats were used in this study. Animals were divided into four groups, 10 animals for each group. Group I is control sham-operated group. Three experimental groups were all subjected to I/R injury by clamping both renal pedicles for 40 min. These animals were further divided into three subgroups. Group II is non-MSC treated group. Group III (MSC treated group (local injection)): I/R animals received bromodeoxyuridine labeled BM-MSCs locally in renal cortex immediately after removal of the clamps and confirmation of reflow. Group IV (MSC treated group (systemic injection)): I/R animals that received single intravenous injection of bromdeoxyouridine labeled BM-MSCs in tail vein immediately after removal of the clamps and confirmation of reflow. Animals were sacrificed after 3 days of intervention. Serological measurements included serum urea and creatinine. Kidney specimens were processed for H&E, PCNA and Caspase-3. Real time RT-PCR study was done for TNF α and IL-6 gene expression. Results: Cortical and medullary renal tissue exhibited marked improvement histologically and serologically after MSCs treatment. The improvement was more obvious in case of systemic treatment. Conclusion: The present study shows the ability of MSCs to repair the structural and functional renal damage after I/R, Systemic route is more beneficial than local route. This may pave the future for therapeutic use of MSCs in the treatment of acute renal injury.","PeriodicalId":15528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology and Histology","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79552372","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}

Especially high resolution chromatin spreads of male and female germline cells provide for detailed insights into the molecular mechanisms acting during germ cell differentiation. Most spreading techniques for germ cells are done with a hypotonic detergent solution followed by an extended drying period. Using video microscopy and we monitored the course of mouse spermatocyte spreading after exposure to graded concentrations of the ionic detergent mixture Lipsol that is known to efficiently spread meiocytes. Our analysis disclosed that spreading of meiotic cells is optimal at a final detergent concentration of about 0.7% and occurs in two phases. First, cells undergo slow swelling in the dilute detergent solution (lasting up to >1 h) followed by rapid dispersion of the nuclear chromatin over the glass surface just prior to the final evaporation of the water in the solution. These results provide a better understanding of an important technique in meiosis research and identify factors determining the spreading process.","PeriodicalId":15528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology and Histology","volume":"74 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85758308","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}
