'Spontaneous abortion is the most common complication of pregnancy. Immune activation and the subsequent inflammation-induced tissue injury are often observed at the maternal-fetal interface as the final pathological assault in recurrent spontaneous abortion. However, the precise mechanisms responsible for spontaneous abortion involving inflammation are not fully understood. Chemokine CCL28 and ... More

Epithelial Urinary Bladder Tumors From Cows With Enzootic Hematuria: Structural and Cell Cycle-Related Protein Expression.
Thirty-nine epithelial bladder tumor samples from 37 animals affected with bovine enzootic hematuria (BEH) were selected for immunohistochemical studies. The expression of structural proteins such as uroplakin III (UPIII) and cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and the cell cycle-related proteins cyclin D1 and p53 were evaluated in urothelial papillomas and carcinomas. Loss ... More

In this study, we reported an additional genetically confirmed case of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) with t(6;11)(p21;q12) showing an unusual histological pattern. Histologically, the tumor was entirely composed of small to intermediate sized tubules and cysts. The tubules and cysts were lined by a single layer of flat, hobnail, cuboidal ... More
