    The evaluation of heated culban, Viciaperegrina as a partial replacement for fish meal in diets of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

    This study was conducted to determine the potential nutritional value of heated culban (Vicia peregrina) seed at the different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30%) in diet as a plant protein source for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The fish fed experimental diets grew from an initial body weight of 38 g to a final body weight of 120 g for a rearing period of 80 days. Growth parameters, feed utilization and meat proximate composition were found similar in all experimental groups. It is concluded that culban seed can be successfully used as an inexpensive plant protein source at least up to a level of 30% in tilapia diets without adverse effects on fish performance. © Medwell Journals, 2010

    PubMedID: 16626859Introduction: Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare tumor of the urinary bladder. Its clinical and histopathological features have not been well characterized. In this study we report seven cases of PUC from our institution. Materials and methods: A pilot case of PUC was recently diagnosed at our institution. Cases of urothelial carcinoma (UC) were reviewed for a period of seven years to identify PUC. Representative sections from each case of PUC were submitted for immunohistochemical studies. Clinical charts were reviewed. Results: There were a total of seven cases of PUC out of 260 cases of invasive urothelial carcinoma. The common type of urothelial carcinoma (CUC) was present in focal areas in five cases. Cases with extensive PUC showed coarse and indurated mucosal folds and thickened bladder walls, with no grossly identifiable tumor. Urine cytology showed a scant number of atypical single cells, frequently without tumor diathesis, leading to a shortfall in the positive cytological diagnosis. Histologically, PUC appeared as dyscohesive, plasmacytoid cells with eccentric nuclei, extending widely into the bladder walls and extensively into adjacent pelvic organs. Conclusion: PUC is a distinct clinical and pathological subtype of urothelial carcinoma. The clinical presentation is frequently late due to the frequent absence of hematuria and indurated mucosal surface at cystoscopy. The disease followed an ominous course with recurrence in all the patients, and with patient death. © 2006 European Association of Urology

    Vertical bone augmentation using bone marrow-derived stem cells: An in vivo study in the rabbit calvaria

    PubMedID: 26397478Purpose: To evaluate the bone regeneration capacity of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) in vertical guided augmentation of bone tissue. Material and Methods: The calvaria of 20 rabbits were vertically augmented with autogenous bone graft (ABG); collagen/beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) linked scaffold transplanted with 15 × 10 4 BMSCs; or scaffold alone (control). The augmentation materials were covered with stainless steel domes. BMSCs were isolated with Ficoll-Paque technique and applied directly without in vitro expansion. The newly formed bone was evaluated using radiodensitometric, histomorphometric, histological, and micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) analyses after a 12-week healing period. The data excluding micro-CT assessments were compared statistically. Results: Radiodensitometric and bone volume parameters demonstrated increased bone formation in both BMSC group and ABG group compared with control group (P 0.05). The mean histological scores for the BMSC, ABG, and control groups were 7.44 ± 1.03, 8.44 ± 0.81, and 6.00 ± 1.10, respectively, indicating significant difference among the groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: BMSCs delivered with a collagen/ß-TCP linked scaffold can provide improved new bone formation that is comparable with autogenous bone block graft through vertical guided bone regeneration technique. © 2015 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc
