RESUMO
Gaucher-like cells (GLC) are sometimes indistinguishable from real Gaucher cells. GLC can be detected in various diseases. We present a 4.5 year old boy with massive cervical lympadenopathy and an intraabdominal mass mimicking lymphoma. Many GLC were seen in the fine needle aspiration material of an enlarged lymph node. Ziehl-Neelsen stain of the aspirate revealed many acid-fast bacteria in the GLC. Fine needle aspiration might provide valuable information in the evaluation of enlarged lymph nodes.
RESUMO
The effects of diltiazem on an experimental study of Superior Mesenteric Artery ligation were studied on three rat groups comprising controls (N = 5), SMA ligation (N = 8), and SMA ligation and diltizem (0.25 mg/kg injection), (N = 8). Creatine phosphokinase, lactic dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase venous blood levels were significantly decreased after diltiazem injection compared with the SMA ligation group. Histopathologic examinations revealed that diltiazem partly protected the small intestine from ischemic changes.
