Development of the Goose Tongue Filiform Papillae: Could it be Tooth-Like Sense Organs?

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The geese's tongue filiform papillae are particularly long, and exhibit the same morphology of a tooth, evoking the lingual teeth of several fishes. In adult animals, they contain numerous mechanical Herbst's corpuscles but no taste buds. In the embryo, they appear since stage 38 and acquire the...

Comprehensive Analysis of CLCA1 Expression, Immune Infiltration and Immune Checkpoints in Colon Adenocarcinoma

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a prevalent disease worldwide, known for its high mortality and morbidity rates. Despite this, the extent of investigation concerning the correlation between COAD's CLCA1 expression and immune cell infiltration remains insufficient. This study seeks to examine the ...

In vivo Gonadoprotective Effects of Myricetin on Cisplatin- Induced Testicular Damage via Suppression of TLR4/NF-kB Inflammation Pathway and Heat-Shock Response

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The aim of this study is to reveal the gonadoprotective effects of myricetin (MYC), which has many biological properties, on cisplatin (CP)-induced testicular damage in rats. For this purpose, 40 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups as Control (group given no treatment), MYC (group...

Zarzio Ameliorates Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Induced By a High Fat Diet in a Rat Experimental Model: A Histological and Immunohistochemical Study

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The therapeutic effect of a granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) biosimilar drug, zarzio, on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a rat model was investigated in this study. Thirty-two rats were randomly divided into four groups. Groups I and II were fed a standard laboratory di...

Antecedente de grado de expresividad de p53 en carcinomas basocelulares como predictor de recurrencia
Background of p53 expressivity grade in basal cell carcinomas as a predictor of recurrence

Cambios rev. méd; 22 (2), 2023; 22 (2), 2023; 22 (2), 2023
INTRODUCCIÓN. El gen Tp53 proporciona instrucciones para producir proteína tumoral 53. El Tp53 es un gen supresor tumoral que protege el ciclo celular, reparando el ADN o activando la apoptosis. Es clave en la carcinogénesis del carcinoma basocelular, patología que cobra relevancia en Ecuador, debido...

Interleukin-37 has A Promising Cardioprotective Effect on Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Infarction

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: The main cause of mortality and disability globally is myocardial infarction (MI). Isoproterenol (ISO), a β-adrenoceptor agonist, has been used to induce rat myocardial necrosis. Whereas interleukin-37 (IL-37) has anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties. The study aimed to investiga...

The Effects of White Tea (Camellia Sinensis) and Infliximab Against Cisplatin- Induced Testicular Damage via Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Cisplatin (Cis) is an important chemotherapeutic agent used in cancer treatment. Males exposed to Cis were reported to exhibit testicular toxicity. Cis-induced testicular toxicity is mediated by oxidative stress, inflammation, testosterone inhibition and apoptosis. Accordingly, this study was co...

Differential Effect of ITE on the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Signaling in Breast Cancer Tissue: A Histopathological Study

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is highly expressed in various types of cancers including breast cancer. However, the role of AhR with its endogenous ligand 2-(1'H-indole-3'-carbonyl)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (ITE) on the progression...

Humoral and Cellular Immunology in Human Prostate Cancer: Plasma Cells and T and B Lymphocytes

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: In solid and malignant tumors, innate and adaptive immunity are combined in antitumor responses. This study aimed to analyze the activation of plasma cells and the correlation between the infiltration of B and T lymphocytes with the degree of malignancy or Gleason grade in human prostate biopsie...
