Dense tumors of the broad ligament are extremely rare and poorly understood. Virchow was the first to point out the possibility of direct development of fibroids from the tissues of the broad ligament. Schetelig, Langenbeck, Gayet, Billroth, Schroeder, Tedenert, et al. Observed intraligamentary fibroids without a connection to the uterus. Fibromyomas on the stem are much more demonstrative, but they come across even more often; so far only 5 cases have been published: Mikulicz, Snger, Borker, Biflinger and Doran. The author removed the pedicle fibromyoma with a total of 2500 grams from the right wide uterine ligament. In terms of origin, the author agrees with Snger, considering the broad ligament muscle fibers to be such. Diagnostics is very difficult to put and only in Breisky's case it was put correctly, while other authors confused with ovarian tumor. These tumors are removed if they are equipped with a leg - like ovarian, if there is one, then it should be seen as subperitoneal tumors of the uterus.

Bowel Herniation

Abstract Background Bowel herniation through a defect in the broad ligament of the uterus is a rare disease and few cases of recurrence have been reported. We report herein a recurrence case of a patient with broad ligament hernia (BLH), along with a review of the literature. Case presentation A 53-year-old woman complaining of abdominal pain was transported to our hospital. She had a history of laparotomy for small-bowel obstruction associated with hernia in the broad ligament of the uterus 10 years ago at a local hospital. Abdominal pelvic contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed that the mesentery of the dilated bowels converged at a thick band in the pelvis, suggesting closed loop obstruction of the small bowel. The patient underwent urgent laparotomy and was diagnosed with bowel herniation through an opening in the broad ligament of the uterus on the right side, which was ipsilateral with the previous surgery. The hernia orifice was widened by incision and incarcerated bowel segments were released and preserved because ischemia was reversible. The membranous defect of BLH was closed by suture with braded silk strings. Conclusions Although BLH is a rare disease, patients face a significant risk of disease recurrence. Nonabsorbable suture may be advisable for closure of the hernia orifice in BLH.

To determine the level of coordination in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity between plantaris motoneurons and muscle fibers, the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles were bilaterally excised in four cats to subject the plantaris to functional overload (FO). Five normal cats served as controls. Twelve weeks after surgery the right plantaris in each cat was injected with horseradish peroxidase to identify plantaris motoneurons. SDH activity then was measured in a population of plantaris motoneurons and muscle fibers in each cat. Control motoneurons and muscle fibers had similar mean SDH activities and a similar relationship between cell size and SDH activity. After FO, muscle fiber size doubled and mean muscle fiber SDH activity halved. Motoneuron mean SDH activity and size were unaffected by FO. Total SDH activity was unchanged in both the motoneurons and muscle fibers after FO. These changes suggest a selective increase in contractile proteins with little or no modulation of mitochondrial proteins in the muscle fibers, because total SDH activity was unchanged in muscle fibers after FO. These data demonstrate that although mean SDH activities were similar in control motoneurons and muscle fibers, mean SDH activities in these two cell types can change independently.

Background/Aim. In this paper, we analyzed type I and type II muscle fibers of the iliopsoas muscle in persons of both genders with ageing. The aim of this study was to detect the presence and distribution of types I and II muscle fibers in the human psoas muscle using the hematoxylin and eosin method in individuals of different ages and genders. Methods. The material consisted of tissue samples of the right iliopsoas muscle taken from 30 adult cadavers (18 males and 12 females), aged from 30 to 90 years, divided into three age groups. The material was obtained from the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Faculty of Medicine University of Nis. Results. The values of astereological parameters (area, perimeter and Feret's diameter) of type I and type II muscle fibers were higher in male cases, although without any statistical significance. Conclusion. Based on the histochemical and morphometric analysis, the conclusion was drawn that after 70 years of life there occurred a loss of type II muscle fibers, more conspicuous in female cases.

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of the herbal medicine red orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) and swimming for 84 days on the animal, heart, and abdominal fat weight and the histomorphometric aspects of heart and total cholesterol of Wistar rats. The rats were divided into seven experimental groups of 12 animals each, consisting of a normocaloric diet (Dn), hypercaloric diet (Dh), normocaloric diet and herbal medicine (DnH), hypercaloric diet and herbal medicine (DhH), normocaloric diet and swimming (DnS), hypercaloric diet and swimming (DhS), and hypercaloric diet, swimming, and herbal medicine (DhSH). The data were analyzed statistically by the Tukey test and considered significant when p<0.05. Groups treated with the normocaloric diet had lower abdominal fat weight. The normocaloric diet and herbal medicine (DnH) provided the smallest thickness of the right ventricle. The hypercaloric diet (Dh) reduced the number of cardiomyocytes and the perimeter of cardiac muscle fibers. Swimming and the red orange extract acted synergistically by reducing the deleterious effects of the hypercaloric diet and increasing the thickness of the cardiac chambers and the number of cardiomyocytes. Only the supplementation with the red orange extract did not reduce abdominal fat in rats treated with a hypercaloric diet. Therefore, red orange alone did not promote beneficial changes in the studied data, but its association with swimming increased the number of cardiomyocytes and thickness of muscle fibers, which could contribute to preventing cardiovascular diseases and maintaining health, as well as the regular swimming and a normocaloric diet, which provided less adiposity.

ABSTRACTBackground : Joint flexibility decreases in old age due to a degenerative process resulting in changes in joints, connective tissue and cartilage in the elderly. Decreasing flexibility is also due to reduced elasticity of muscle fibers, where connective tissue in muscle fibers increases (Mariyam, 2008).Objective : The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of active exercise (ROM) on the lower extremities on increasing the flexibility of the knee joint in the elderlyMethods : This study using a quasi-experimental approach with One group pre-test and post-test design. The sampling technique uses the Slovin method of 42 people, obtained a sample of 25 elderly. Exercise is done twice a day for 8 days. Measurements were made on day 1, day 4 and day 8 of the study using a Goniometer measuring instrument..Result : The results of measurement I average of the right knee joint 117.52o, measurement II = 122.24, measurement III = 126, 36o. From the analysis with Paired simple t-Test between the measurements I and II, it was found that the different test measurements I and II t count value was equal to -1.908 with 0.068. Because sig 0.05, it can be concluded that Ho is accepted, meaning that the average angle of ROM before and after training is the same (not different). In the different test measurements II and III the value of t count is equal to -2.152 with sig 0.042.Conclusion : Because sig 0.05, it can be concluded that Ho is rejected, meaning that there is a difference in ROM angle after training between days 4 to 8 with the first day to day 4. Thus it can be stated that active ROM exercises affect the angle of ROM of the knee joint elderly after exercise ROM between day 4 to day 8. Keywords: active ROM exercise, flexibility of knee joint, elderly.

Abstract We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with postmenopausal bleeding. Endometrial curettings showed complex atypical hyperplasia with focal well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. A computed tomographic scan of the abdomen revealed a right ovarian mass. Histologically, the right ovarian tumor was a fibrothecoma with minor sex cord elements showing focal fibrosarcomatous change. Fibrosarcoma of the ovary is a rare tumor that is considered to arise de novo or secondary to benign fibromatous tumors. Fibrothecoma of the ovary with minor sex cord elements is also a rare entity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a fibrosarcoma arising in a fibrothecoma with minor sex cord elements.

Tumors of the broad ligament are uncommon. Leiomyoma, which is the commonest female genital neoplasm, is also the most common solid tumor of the broad ligament. Leiomyomas affect 30% of all women of reproductive age but the incidence of broad-ligament leiomyoma is <1%. These benign tumors are usually asymptomatic. A case is being described where a 52 year old presented with gradual abdominal swelling which was clinically and radiologically diagnosed as ovarian malignancy. On abdominal and bimanual palpation a soft cystic mass was noted in the right pelvic region. CA 125 was mildly raised. CEA, CA 19.9 levels were within normal limit. The radiological diagnosis was ovarian cyst with possibility of malignant changes. Staging laparotomy and histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed a right sided broad ligament leiomyoma with cystic changes. The degenerative changes in the leiomyoma lead to the clinical and radiological diagnostic confusion. Thus, though uncommon, broad ligament leiomyoma should be considered during evaluation of adnexal masses for optimal patient management. The above description of leiomyoma in the broad ligament is a highly unique case and thus deserves appropriate attention.Kathmandu University Medical Journal Vol.12(3) 2014; 219-221

Background: Many studies show the occurrence of several multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes caused by different mutations, for example, in MEN1 and RET genes. Nevertheless, there are less common mutations causing multiple endocrine glands tumors. Examples of such mutations are CHEK2 gene mutations, causing breast, kidney, gastric, colorectal, prostate, lung, ovarian, and thyroid cancers. Case description: In 2005, a 30-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to uncontrolled hypertension and obesity. Performed tests have shown ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)—independent micronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH) as a cause. In 2010, the further diagnostic analysis revealed Cushing’s disease caused by ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenoma. Additionally, in 2011, the patient underwent the strumectomy of multinodular struma. Papillary thyroid carcinoma was found in the excised tissue. In 2018, transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a tumor of the right ovary. After a performed hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, the histopathology result has shown female adnexal tumors of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) located in the broad ligament of the uterus. Due to the history of multiglandular diseases, the patient was referred to genetic testing. We found a positive pathogenic mutation in CHEK2-suppressor gene involved in DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in response to DNA damage. Conclusion: CHEK2 variants may predispose to a range of endocrine glands tumors, including those identified in our patient. Multiple endocrine glands tumors, as in the presented patient, are a serious problem of public health, due to numerous hospitalizations and necessary repeated surgical treatments. Moreover, the association between CHEK2 and ovarian cancer can be a serious problem with reproductive health.

Atrial Myosin

Antisera against bovine atrial myosin were raised in rabbits, purified by affinity chromatography, and absorbed with insolubilized ventricular myosin. Specific anti-bovine atrial myosin (anti-bAm) antibodies reacted selectively with atrial myosin heavy chains, as determined by enzyme immunoassay combined with SDS-gel electrophoresis. In direct and indirect immunofluorescence assay, anti-bAm was found to stain all atrial muscle fibers and a minor proportion of ventricular muscle fibers in the right ventricle of the bovine heart. In contrast, almost all muscle fibers in the left ventricle were unreactive. Purkinje fibers showed variable reactivity. In the rabbit heart, all atrial muscle fibers were stained by anti-bAm, whereas ventricular fibers showed a variable response in both the right and left ventricle, with a tendency for reactive fibers to be more numerous in the right ventricle and in subepicardial regions. Diversification of fiber types with respect to anti-bAm reactivity was found to occur during late stages of postnatal development in the rabbit heart and to be influenced by thyroid hormone. All ventricular muscle fibers became strongly reactive after thyroxine treatment, whereas they became unreactive or poorly reactive after propylthiouracil treatment. These findings are consistent with the existence of different ventricular isomyosins whose relative proportions can vary according to the thyroid state. Variations in ventricular isomyosin composition can account for the changes in myosin Ca2+-activated ATPase activity previously observed in cardiac muscle from hyper- and hypothyroid animals and may be responsible for the changes in the velocity of contraction of ventricular myocardium that occur under these conditions. The differential distribution of ventricular isomyosins in the normal heart suggests that fiber types with different contractile properties may coexist in the ventricular myocardium.
