Human mesenchymal stem cells injected into the rabbit VF following the excision of a chronic scar, were found to enhance the functional healing of the VF with reduced lamina propria thickness and restored viscoelastic shear properties.
Serum pepsinogen levels were measured in 137 stomach cancer patients and compared with those of 288 normal cancer‐free subjects. The serum pepsinogen levels of stomach cancer patients, especially pepsinogen I and the pepsinogen I/pepsinogen II ratio were significantly lower than those of normal controls and correlated well with the extent of chronic gastritis associated with the cancerous stomach. These results were in good accordance with the results of previous studies indicating that the cancer derived from the stomach where chronic gastritis/intestinal metaplasia is extensive. The high sensitivity and specificity of this non‐invasive serum test to detect chronic gastritis suggested the possibility of its application to the mass screening of stomach cancer.
This study has indicated that the multiple polypoid lesions of the colon occur not only in MCL, but also in MALT lymphoma, making differential diagnosis between the two entities necessary, and cyclin D1 immunohistochemistry is indispensable for distinguishing between them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
