Molecular diagnosis of synovial sarcoma: A comparative study with histologic correlation in Ramathibodi Hospital

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a relatively common sarcoma of soft tissue arising in extremities of young adult, which is often diagnosed by histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Synovial sarcoma can be found in various locations and may cause diagnostic dilemma in tumors arising in unusual locations. In this study, we evaluated the application of...

Frontoethmoidal encephalomeningocele histopathology and proposed mechanism of developing lesion

The purpose of this study is to describe histopathological fi ndings of frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele (FEEM), and to correlate with the embryogenesis. The study materials were gathered from 86 cases of FEEM, during 1995-2005. The histopathology was observed in terms of the pattern of the lesion, the relation to the skin and surrounding soft tissue,...

Relationship between promoter methylation and protein expression of glutathione S-transferase gene class P1 in breast cancer

Glutathione S-transferase gene class P1 (GSTP1) encodes glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) that catalyses detoxifying metabolism of glutathione. The lack of GSTP1 expression is linked to carcinogen-esis and is related to promoter methylation. The previous studies of GSTP1 hypermethylation in breast cancer reveal diverse results and suspicious...

The effect of calcitonin upon the proliferation of giant cell tumor ; Preliminary of 9 cases

Giant cell tumor is one of the most common primary bone tumors in adult. Current therapy is still curettage and bone graft packing with adjuvant chemical and thermal cautery.
