This study assessed the morphological criteria for the diagnosis of various types of lymphocytic thyroiditis in fine-needle aspirates. Of 950 aspirates, 121 revealed lymphocytic thyroiditis, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis (partly confirmed by serological or histological examination) and focal thyroiditis adjacent to neoplasms. The diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis was easy when the aspirated material was adequate and contained oxyphilic cells; in the fibrous type, diagnosis was rather difficult. Focal thyroiditis may be confused with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, especially when adjacent to neoplasm. Surgical exploration should be performed in cases of severe lymphocytic thyroiditis revealed by fine-needle aspiration with repeatedly negative antibody titers in order to exclude neoplasm. 相似文献

Although foreign bodies left in the abdominal cavity may remain asymptomatic for long periods, they may also cause serious complications. We present a case of gauze forgotten in the lower abdomen which remained asymptomatic for almost 1 year. When a granuloma had formed, it infiltrated the bladder wall giving the clinical and imaging appearance of an invasive bladder tumor. 相似文献

Ischemia-reperfusion injury can be detrimental to the solitary kidney, especially when it is accompanied by ablation. To the authors' knowledge, the effects of partial nephrectomy with prolonged application of ischemia have never been described at the ultrastructural level. Therefore, the authors used an animal model and focused on putative structural effects in the glomerular basement membrane and the podocytes. They demonstrate the advantageous role of cold ischemia, even in up to 120 min. In contrast, more than 60 min of warm ischemia leads to catastrophic lesions in all the cellular structures, as is reflected by mortality due to acute renal failure. 相似文献

Human health risks associated with exposure to algal and cyanobacterial toxins (phycotoxins) have been largely concerned with aquatic habitats. People inhabiting desert environments may be exposed to phycotoxins present in terrestrial environments, where cyanobacterial crusts dominate. Seafood comprises a significant portion of the human diet in desert environments proximal to an ocean or sea. Consequently, in addition to terrestrial exposure to cyanotoxins, the potential exists that seafood may be an important exposure route for cyanotoxins in desert regions. Understanding the possible risk of exposure from seafood will help create cyanotoxin health guidelines for people living in environments that rely on seafood. Commonly-consumed local seafood products destined for human consumption were purchased from a fish market in Doha, Qatar. Organs were excised, extracted, and analyzed for the neurotoxic amino acid β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) and the isomers 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DAB) and N-2(aminoethyl)glycine (AEG). The presence and concentration of neurotoxic amino acids were investigated in organisms from various trophic levels to examine the potential for biomagnification. Although BMAA and isomers were detected in marine microbial mats, as well as in marine plankton net trawls associated with diatoms and dinoflagellates, in seafood, only AEG and DAB were present at low concentrations in various trophic levels. The findings of this study suggest that exposure to neurotoxic amino acids through seafood in the Arabian Gulf may be minor, yet the presence of BMAA in phytoplankton confirms the need for further monitoring of marine waters and seafood to protect human health. 相似文献

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine trends in clinicopathological characteristics of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases at
presentation in a single institution over a 25-years period.
Patients and methods The medical files of 505 patients with histologically confirmed primary RCC from 1981 to 2006 were retrospectively reviewed.
Host and tumor characteristics at presentation were compared following stratification by hospitalization period (1981–1990,
1991–2000, and 2001–2006).
Results Age at presentation did not change significantly over time. The incidentally diagnosed cases increased significantly by time
(10.2, 40.5, 62.7%), in proportion to small (<4 cm) tumors (8.6, 17.3, 30.6%), while tumor diameter decreased significantly
(8.5 ± 3.8, 7.4 ± 3.5, 5.8 ± 2.9). The rate of organ-confined tumors increased significantly (42.1, 63.6, 68.9%), followed
by a less pronounced decrease of metastatic cases (12.3, 8.9, 6.8%).
Conclusions The evolution of tumor characteristics at presentation in a single institution is apparent within the last 25 years. Major
changes were noticed within organ-confined and small tumors and call for familiarization of urologists with nephron-sparing
techniques and novel ablation technologies. 相似文献

The beneficial effects of therapy combining an antibiotic and dexamethasone have been reported in human studies on meningitis and in experimental studies on septic arthritis, nephritis, and endophthalmitis. Since most patients with staphylococcal endocarditis need a combination of medical and surgical treatment, the purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of dexamethasone to vancomycin has any beneficial effect regarding the degree of valve tissue damage or the course of experimental aortic valve endocarditis caused by a methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus. Rabbits with catheter-induced aortic valve vegetations were randomly assigned to a control group and to groups receiving dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg of body weight, intravenously [i.v.], twice a day [b.i.d]), vancomycin (30 mg/kg, i.v., b.i.d), or dexamethasone plus vancomycin, for a total of 10 doses (two doses per day for 5 days). The severity of valve tissue damage was significantly less in groups receiving vancomycin plus dexamethasone compared with that of the group receiving vancomycin alone (P < 0.001). The severity of tissue damage was inversely correlated with the mean polymorphonuclear leukocyte number in valve tissue. No statistically significant differences were observed between the vancomycin-treated group and the vancomycin-plus-dexamethasone-treated group in survival, blood culture sterilization rate, or reduction of the microbial burden (in CFU per gram) in valvular tissue. In conclusion, treatment with a combination of vancomycin and dexamethasone for 5 days reduces the severity of valve tissue damage in experimental staphylococcal aortic valve endocarditis. These findings could have significant implications in the treatment of staphylococcal endocarditis and deserve further confirmation in clinical trials. 相似文献
