| [xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: presentation of an unusual case]. | xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a morphologically and clinically unique manifestation of chronic pyelonephritis with the formation of pus or granulomas. the most frequent predisposing factors for the development of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis are urinary obstruction (e. g., stones, tumors, congenital anomalies and functional impairment) and infection of the collecting system. | 2005 | 16001341 |
| evaluation of cd4(+)/cd8(+) status and urinary tract infections associated with urinary schistosomiasis among some rural nigerians. | data on urinary schistosomiasis in nigeria are mainly epidemological. the knowledge of co-infections of urinary schistosomiasis and other pathogens are important epidemiological tools for the control and health benefits of the rural dwellers. the granulomatous reactions in urinary schistosomiasis is cd4(+) dependent. the cd8(+) is cytotoxic to parasites and it is activated by cd4(+). these parameters therefore participate in the immune responses to urinary schistosomiasis. | 2005 | 16006219 |
| analysis of pten gene mutations in korean patients with cowden syndrome and polyposis syndrome. | pten (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted in chromosome 10) is a candidate tumor suppressor gene. mutations of this gene are responsible for pten hamartoma tumor syndromes, including cowden syndrome, bannayan-riley-ruvalcaba syndrome, proteus syndrome, and proteus -like syndromes. recently, pten mutations were identified in several human neoplasms. we analyzed the dna of various organs and lesions in korean patients with cowden syndrome, their family members, and patients with familial aden ... | 2005 | 16007494 |
