pathology of fatal rhabdomyosarcoma. report from intergroup rhabdomyosarcoma study (irs-i and irs-ii).patterns of tumor spread were studied by examining clinicopathologic and postmortem data on 274 tumor-related deaths from patients in irs-i and irs-ii. the activity of the primary lesion and presence or absence of distant metastases at death were related to the histologic subtype and anatomic site of origin, individually and/or in combination. the alveolar subtype had the highest proportion of distant metastases and the lowest occurrence of local progression alone from the primary site. more dis ...20133791156
[a case of metastasis from a colon carcinoma to an intracranial oligodendroglioma].the following case of a metastasis from a colon carcinoma to an intracranial oligodendroglioma is reported. radiologically, it was difficult to diagnose that the colon carcinoma had metastasized to an oligodendroglioma. a craniotomy was then performed. histologically, it was diagnosed that the tumor was a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and oligodendroglioma. also, in conclusion, a comparison of japanese and foreign cases of metastasis from tumor to tumor is reviewed.20133694805
lamellar bodies in hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans.an ultrastructural study of lesional skin from 4 subjects with hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans (flegel's disease) demonstrated variable numbers of lamellar bodies of normal size and architecture within cells of the stratum granulosum and the upper stratum spinosum. their characteristic lamellate inclusions were frequently observed within the intercellular spaces. these observations suggest that the lamellar bodies are qualitatively normal in flegel's disease.20133624584
[a myasthenic episode following intake of large amounts of a beta blocker].a transient myasthenic syndrome confirmed by emg after taking large doses of beta blocking agent is reported. data on similar complications have not been found in the literature. theories trying to explain the myasthenic, myopathic effect of the beta-blocking agents are reviewed. in the opinion of the authors the quinidine-like membrane stabilising effect played a role in their case, although the possibility of the direct effect of the drug on the neurotransmitters cannot be excluded either.20133610012

dimeric wh2 domains in vibrio vopf promote actin filament barbed-end uncapping and assisted elongation.proteins containing repeats of the wasp homology 2 (wh2) actin-binding module are multifunctional regulators of actin nucleation and assembly. the bacterial effector vopf in vibrio cholerae, like vopl in vibrio parahaemolyticus, is a unique homodimer of three wh2 motifs linked by a c-terminal dimerization domain. we show that only the first and third wh2 domains of vopf bind g-actin in a non-nucleating, sequestered conformation. moreover, dimeric wh2 domains in vopf give rise to unprecedented re ...201323912276
correlation of double-contrast high-density barium enema, colonoscopy, and histology in children with special attention to disparities.colonoscopic and double-contrast high-density barium enema (dcbe) findings were correlated in 68 patients (39 boys and 29 girls) aged 6 months to 18 years (mean 11.6 years) evaluated over a 24-month period. there was excellent correlation in 53 patients (78.0%) and good correlation in another 3 (4.4%) who had identical diagnoses and only slightly differing extent of disease reported. in 2 of these, dcbe showed more extensive disease, confirmed histologically in 1. distal colitis seen on colonosc ...20133725447
contrasting mandibular growth and facial development in long face syndrome, juvenile rheumatoid polyarthritis, and mandibulofacial dysostosis.the complex rotation process of the mandible during growth is elucidated by longitudinal roentgencephalometric analyses, using metallic implants as fixed references. contrasting development of face and mandibular shape is described in three subjects. in the so-called long face syndrome, development is characterized by increasing inclination of the mandible during growth with only moderate remodeling. in the subjects with juvenile rheumatoid polyarthritis and mandibulofacial dysostosis, the incre ...20133877091
relation between nasal/voice accelerometric values and interval estimates of hypernasality.nasal/throat accelerometric ratios were obtained from 12 hypernasal and three normal children. the accelerometric voltages comprising the ratio were analogs of nasal and anterior-neck tissue vibrations. audio recordings, which were obtained simultaneously with the accelerometric voltages, were later judged for hypernasality using an equal-appearing-interval (eai) scale. high correlations were evident between accelerometric and eai values when a stimulus sentence contained obstruents, semivowels, ...20133863721
