Extramedullary Hematopoiesis in a Sentinel Lymph Node as an Early Sign of Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia by Joslin M. Bowen, Anamarija M. Perry, Erin Quist, Mojtaba Akhtari

“…Our case illustrates the importance of recognizing EMH in a lymph node during routine histological examination, especially in adults. Proliferation of bone marrow elements in a lymph node, in a patient with no known hematologic disorder, should trigger immediate bone marrow evaluation, as this could be the first clue in diagnosing underlying bone marrow disorder.…”

Mechanical Properties of Membranes of Poly(L-co-DL-lactic acid) with Poly(caprolactone triol) and Study In Vivo by Marcia Adriana Tomaz Duarte, Adriana Cristina Motta, Eliana Aparecida de Rezende Duek

“…Based on the results of in vitro studies, PLDLA/PCL-T blends of 100/0 and 90/10 were implanted in subcutaneous tissue of Wistar rats for 1, 3, 7, 15, and 60 days to evaluate their biocompatibility. Histological analysis indicated that, although PCL-T-containing membranes caused a more prominent inflammatory reaction in the initial time intervals, by 60 days after implantation, the material was surrounded by dense, organized collagen with almost no inflammatory infiltrate.…”

Exploring the Role of Estrogens in Lizard Spermatogenesis through the Study of Clomiphene and FSH Effects by Mariailaria Verderame, Rosaria Scudiero, Ermelinda Limatola

“…This research points out on the role of estrogen during lizard spermatogenesis by using three experimental approaches: (1) exposure to an analogue of nonsteroidal estrogen as Clomiphene citrate that acts both as estrogen agonist and antagonist; (2) exposure to the gonadotropin FSH; and (3) exposures to FSH followed by Clomiphene. Histological and immunohistochemical results demonstrate that in the lizard Podarcis sicula during the mating period, Clomiphene as well as FSH determines the breakdown of spermatogenesis and the epididymal regression, presumably through estrogens input as indirectly demonstrated by the appearance of ERα and vitellogenin in the liver. …”
