Histopathological Study of Coronary Atherosclerosis Using Special Stains and CD 34 Immunohistochemical Marker A Postmortem Study

Background: The coronary atherosclerosis received a great concern from the clinical aspect, but its pathological aspect is deficient in Iraq.  

Objectives: To find a correlation between the type of the lesions that were grossly identified and their corresponding microscopical grades and Studying the effect of remodeling on preservation of the luminal area, 3) demonstrate the endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis.

Methods: fifty cases were gathered from the Medico-legal institute in Baghdad during the period from January to July 2004.The left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX) and right coronary artery (RCA) from 50 postmortem cases were biopsied. Cryosectioning and staining with Oil-red O stain were done for twenty five specimens, then all the cases were embedded in paraffin blocks, and stained for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain, Verhoff Van Gieson (VVG), twenty cases were stained with CD34 immunohistochemical marker. Cases were graded according to the American Heart Association (AHA) classification system.

Results: Seventy three per cent of grossly normal specimens were microscopically normal, while grossly flat fatty streaks correspond in 83% of cases to grade II. Raised fatty streaks were 100% grade III (intermediate lesions) and raised lesions were 100% advanced lesions (grade IV, V and VI). This study also shows that with progressive increment of plaque area, the total arterial cross-sectional area increased trying to preserve the lumen area. Endothelial dysfunction was also shown by decrease expression of CD34 immunohistochemical marker in diseased segments.

Conclusions: gross inspection of the vessel is a valuable method for detection of intermediate and advanced lesion, while the differentiation of early lesion from normal vessel needs microscopical examination. Remodeling has a great role in maintaining luminal patency in the major coronary arteries. This study also demonstrates the endothelial dysfunction overlying the atheroma in spite of endothelial integrity.

Histological and immunohistochemical study of thyroid gland in Caucasian squirrel (Sciurus anamalus) (Gmelin, 1778) by using marker (Anti-Thyroglobulin, Code IR5090)

The current study is designed to investigate the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the thyroid gland in adult male Sciurus anamalus. This study found that the thyroid gland of the Caucasian squirrel is located in the neck area, below the larynx, on both sides of the trachea. It has two lobes (right and left) with cylindrical shape. The histological studies revealed that the thyroid gland is surrounded by a capsule which consists of connective tissue and forming of two layers which are outer layer and inner layer, and a layer of adipose tissue appears overlapping the outer layer. The inner tissue of the gland consists of follicles with different shapes and sizes, and is lined with simple cuboidal epithelial tissue (foll

Determine The Factors Affecting Product Quality Using FMEA Analysis: A Case Study in Al Zawraa State Company

 

The research aims to identify the factors that affect the quality of the product by using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) tool and to suggest measures to reduce the deviations or defects in the production process. I used the case study approach to reach its goals, and the air filter product line was chosen in the air filters factory of Al-Zawraa General Company. The research sample was due to the emergence of many defects of different impact and the continuing demand for the product. I collected data and information from the factory records for two years (2018-2019) and used a scheme Pareto Fishbone Diagram as well as an FMEA tool to analyze data and generate results.

Teaching Problems Faced by Female Teachers of Students with Intellectual Disability in Special Education Programs and the Proposed Solutions for that from their point of view - a qualitative study

This study aims to identify the teaching problems that teachers of students with intellectual disabilities face, in addition to exploring the solutions suggested by them in order to overcome such problems or challenges. The researchers used a qualitative approach in order to understand the teachers' perceptions about these problems in a more in-depth way. The interview tools (in-depth and semi-structured interviews) were used to collect data from (3) female teachers from special education programs in the Asir region. The results revealed a number of themes including problems related to students, teachers and the teaching methods they use, curricula, school environment, and school administration. Moreover, the results indicated that famil

The Outcomes of War: A Study of the Character After the Crisis of War

World War II has brought suffering for all people; it has led people to have a nostalgic feeling. The war has many faces all of them are ugly, like death, separation, loneliness, violence, crime, betrayal, and disconnection and many other meanings. Michael Ondaatje in his novel The English Patient (1992) portrays a picture of the effect of World War II on four different characters; Hana a Canadian nurse, The English patient who is Hungarian, Caravaggio a Canadian-Italitan thief, and Kip an Indian sapper. They live together in one house, share their secrets and memories about World War II. Ondaatje brings them together to reveal their secrets and to heal their wounds of the war experience.
