Article Abstract
Objectives: Fibrous reactive hyperplasia (FRH) is a common fibrous lesion in the oral cavity. The disease characteristics of FRH, including the expression patterns of CD34, which is a well-known fibroblast marker, have not been investigated in detail. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of FRH compared to those of the healthy mucosa, based on CD34 expression profiles.
Methods: CD34 expression was analyzed at the protein and mRNA levels using immunohistochemistry, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and in situ hybridization (ISH).
Results: CD34 was not expressed in the lamina propria of the oral mucosa, but was commonly observed in submucosal fibroblasts. CD34-positive fibroblasts were commonly observed in FRH. A total of 17 out of 19 cases (89.5%) were CD34-positive. Furthermore, we identified a significant difference in the ratio of CD34-positive cells between the healthy and FRH tissues. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that CD34 mRNA was expressed in all cases of FRH, and CD34 mRNA expression in FRH samples was found to be localized to spindle-shaped fibroblasts, as determined by ISH. A positive correlation was also found between the CD34 mRNA levels and the proportion of the CD34-positive cells.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that the increase in collagen synthesis in CD34-positive fibroblasts in the submucosa leads to the development of FRH. To our knowledge, this is the first report confirming the mRNA expression patterns of CD34 in FRH.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of microvessel density (MVD), assessed by CD34 immunohistochemistry (IHC), and its correlation with radiological features and bevacizumab (BEV) treatment efficacy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 41 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. MVD was quantified using CD34 IHC, and patients were stratified into low and high MVD groups according to the cutoff value determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (sensitivity, 76.

In the current in vitro experiment, we fabricated and characterized placenta/platelet-rich plasma (PL/Pt) composite scaffolds and evaluated their effect on differentiating adipose stem cells (ASCs) into insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in vitro. The human placenta (PL) was decellularized (dPL), characterized, and digested in pepsin. PRP was extracted using a two-step centrifugation process and then freeze-dried.

Human cord blood (CB) myeloid progenitor reprogramming to a high-fidelity human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) state can be achieved using non-integrating episomal vectors and stromal signals. These conventional, primed CB-hiPSC lines can subsequently be chemically reverted with high efficiencies to a blastomere-like Tankyrase/PARP Inhibitor-Regulated Naive Stem Cell (TIRN-SC) state with functional totipotency. PARP-regulated TIRN-SCs are human stem cells with high epigenetic plasticity, stable epigenomic imprints, and have greater differentiation potency than conventional, lineage-primed hiPSCs.

Two types of plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) proliferation disease are acknowledged so far by the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumors: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) and mature pDC proliferation associated with myeloid neoplasms (MPDCP) in which pDC is part of the malignant clone. We aim to investigate pDC proliferation associated with non-myeloid acute leukemia (AL). A retrospective analysis of all cases admitted in our center with a diagnosis of non-myeloid AL from September 2020 to April 2023 was performed to select cases with pDCs greater than 2% of bone marrow by flow cytometry (FCM).

Aim: Chronic small-intestinal mucositis (CIM) is a severe gastrointestinal complication that has limited treatment options. This study investigated the potential therapeutic effects of Daikenchuto (DKT), a traditional medicine, on mitigating methotrexate (MTX)-induced CIM in rats.
Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to four groups: control, MTX, DKT-MTX, and DKT.
