Histopathological examination revealed the presence of fungal hyphae disrupting the epidermis and penetrating into the necrotic dermis and hypodermis. The decreased values of the blood parameters, i.e., hemoglobin concentration (HGB), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and white blood cell count (WBC), were indicative of osmoregulation failure being a consequence of the skin damage. The results of the study provide new information regarding Fusarium sp. infection in brown trout and serve as the basis for further research on the potential impact of the fungi and their mycotoxins on the Baltic salmonid population, including their role in ulcerative dermal necrosis.Chorioangiomas are generally small and associated with favorable outcomes, but large tumors can cause serious fetal complications, such as polyhydramnios, fetal anemia, intrauterine growth restriction, cardiac failure, fetal hydrops, and intrauterine fetal death. Signs of fetal cardiac failure on ultrasonography are indications for urgent in utero interventions. We report a case of a giant chorioangioma causing fetal cardiac failure at 26+3 weeks' gestation, which was treated by embolization of the feeding vessels. We utilized a mixture of n-butyl cyanoacrylate (nBCA, Histoacryl®) and iodized oil (Lipiodol®) as an embolic agent. Fetal hydrops resolved in 4 weeks, and the cardiac size and function normalized 8 weeks after the embolization. A healthy male baby was born at the 37+5th gestational week by cesarean section.BACKGROUND Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are pivotal in remodeling of the tumor immune microenvironment and clinical outcome. Herein, we aim to evaluate the impact of immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of CD68 and CD163 in TAM on clinico-pathological features, patients' response to therapy and the overall survival (OS). RESULTS This retrospective study was performed on paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of 100 classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) cases diagnosed and treated at our Institution. Immunohistochemical scores of CD68 and CD163 were statistically related to bulky disease (p value = 0.005 for both), tumor stage (p value = 0.02 for both), International Prognostic Score (IPS) (p value = 0.04 and 0.02 respectively), and the overall response rate (ORR) (p value = 0.001). APR-246 Additionally, CD163 was also statistically related to gender (p value = 0.02), serum albumin level (p value = 0.03), and B symptoms (p value = 0.04). HCV seropositivity did not relate to either CD68 or CD163 score. Using univariate analysis revealed that B symptoms, bulky disease, IPS ≥ 3, and CD163 > 25% were associated with lower OS (p values = 0.003, 0.006, 0.001, and 25% were related to inferior OS (p values 0.02, 0.02, and 0.003). CONCLUSION CD163 expressing TAM is a powerful predictor for OS in cHL, unlike CD68.OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the MR features of the traumatic injury of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) by using high-resolution 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to refine the Palmer classification system. MATERIALS AND METHODS From November 2015 to May 2019, sixty-seven patients met the including and excluding criteria and were enrolled into this retrospective study. All subjects had high-resolution 3-T MRI scan of the wrist and eleven had indirect MR arthrography of the wrist. All the MRI were read by two experienced musculoskeletal radiologists. Diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI were calculated by using the arthroscopy and surgery as the standard of reference. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The interobserver agreement was assessed by kappa analysis. RESULTS There were 49 cases of TFCC injuries proven by the arthroscopy or surgery. The TFCC injuries in the other 18 patients were proved by the combination of clinical follow-up examination and follow-up MRI. Among the arthroscopy- or surgery-confirmed cases, there were 32 patients with original Palmer injuries (IA = 10, IB = 19, ID = 3), 5 with capsular detachment, 4 with bucket-handle tear of the TFCC that have rarely been reported, and 8 with complex injuries that involved the listed classifications above. The sensitivities and specificities of MRI for diagnosing IA, IB, ID, complex injuries, and bucket-handle tear were 67-100% and 90-100%, and overall good to perfect interobserver agreements (kappa, 0.64-1.00). The diagnostic performance for the capsular detachment was lower (kappa, 0.38). CONCLUSION With high-resolution 3-T MRI, more detailed injury patterns were found including capsular injuries, the horizontal tear of the articular disk, and the bucket-handle tear. It is necessary to refine the classic Palmer classification of TFCC injuries.To compensate for the lack of capacity for external salt storage in the epidermal bladder cells, quinoa plants employ tissue-tolerance traits, to confer salinity stress tolerance. Our previous studies indicated that sequestration of toxic Na+ and Cl- ions into epidermal bladder cells (EBCs) is an efficient mechanism conferring salinity tolerance in quinoa. However, some halophytes do not develop EBCs but still possess superior salinity tolerance. To elucidate the possible compensation mechanism(s) underlying superior salinity tolerance in the absence of the external salt storage capacity, we have selected four quinoa accessions with contrasting patterns of EBC development. Whole-plant physiological and electrophysiological characteristics were assessed after 2 days and 3 weeks of 400 mM NaCl stress. Both accessions with low EBC volume utilised Na+ exclusion at the root level and could maintain low Na+ concentration in leaves to compensate for the inability to sequester Na+ load in EBC. These conclusions were further confirmed by electrophysiological experiments showing higher Na+ efflux from roots of these varieties (measured by a non-invasive microelectrode MIFE technique) as compared to accessions with high EBC volume. Furthermore, accessions with low EBC volume had significantly higher K+ concentration in their leaves upon long-term salinity exposures compared to plants with high EBC sequestration ability, suggesting that the ability to maintain high K+ content in the leaf mesophyll was as another important compensation mechanism.
