<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Prostate carcinoma is the second most common tumor in male, 95% in which made up from adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma through a needle biopsy specimen plus the determination of tumor staging are paramount in selecting the therapy and management. This study is done to know the morphologic variation of prostate adenocarcinoma in the needle biopsy as well as to measure the grading compatibility between the needle biopsy and prostatectomy using Gleason scoring system.</p><p><strong>Materials and Method: </strong>This retrospective study is conducted through form and specimen slides compilement. The specimens, consisting of prostate adenocarcinoma’s needle biopsy and prostatectomy, were gathered from the archives of Pathological Anatomy Departement, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia in the year of 2008-2013. The slides were re-read and the morphologic appearance’s variation was valued. Gleason scoring was also executed from the pairing specimen according to <em>International Society of Urological Pathology</em> (ISUP) 2010.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>Out of 114 needle biopsy cases, the morphologic variation was found to be perineural invation (n=38), mucinous fibroplasia (n=1), glomerulation (n=1), mucinous basophilic (n=25), and eosinophilic crystal (n=5). The amount of patient that was performed both specimen is 11, and there is a compatibility between biopsy score and prostatectomy as much as 63.63% and the median is 7.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>It is requisite to know the morphological variation in prostate adenocarcinoma in the biopsy needle specimen to get an accurate diagnosis. Undergrading in biopsy specimen is as much as 36.36%, owing to the fact that prostate carcinoma can be manifested as mutifocal lesion, thus the higher grading can only be found in prostatectomy specimen, for the needle biopsy was inadequately taken.</p><p><strong>Keywords: prostate adenocarcinoma, morphological view, Gleason score</strong></p>

The excretion of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) is determined by hepatic uptake (storage capacity) and secretion (transport maximum). We calculated the BSP excretion data in six rabbits by measuring the rate of rise of BSP at various infusion rates. The relative storage capacity was determined to be 0.34 +/- 0.13 mg.mg-1.dl-1.kg-1. The transport maximum was calculated to be 0.91 +/- 0.12 mg.min-1.kg-1. These results compare closely with previously reported results using more direct measurements that require anesthesia and surgical cannulation of the biliary tree. Repeated studies were easily performed. Our method provides a reliable and simple technique to study the effects of various conditions or substances on BSP excretion in conscious, unanesthetized rabbits.

Abstract A convenient electrophoretic procedure for the separation and quantitation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes is described. The system uses polyacetate Sepraphore III strips.* The areas of activity are shown by incubation with an LDH substrate combined with tetra-nitro-blue-tetrazolium. The reduction of the latter to the purple formazan is quantitatively related to the enzyme activity. Quantitative determination of the individual colored areas is performed by densitometry.

All children with euthyroid goiters examined over a period of 3 years underwent study of thyroid function, needle biopsy, and measurement of thyroid antibodies. Sixty-six of 71 children studied had satisfactory biopsies of the thyroid. Of these, 43 (65%) had chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and 23 (35%) had simple goiter as determined by histologic examination of the biopsy specimen. Elevated titers of anti-thyroid antibodies were found in 50% of the patients with thyroiditis by the tanned red cell method and in 63% by the indirect Coons method. Neither antibody was present in significant quantity in 20% of the patients. Abnormal levels of antibody were rarely detected in children with histologic evidence of simple goiter. Treatment with thyroid extract has little effect on the progression of the disease process to fibrosis and atrophy. Such treatment may be necessary to anticipate the development of hypothyroidism or for replacement if thyroid function is already diminished. There is no evidence that simple goiter is associated with hypothyroidism, and treatment of this disease with thyroid preparations is necessary only for cosmetic purposes. Needle biopsy is the most useful means for making a distinction between thyroiditis and simple goiter.
