Lipomatosis of the pancreas. A morphometrical investigation

Pathology, Research and Practice
P Schmitz-MoormannW Heinze

Abstract

The study was performed in 50 human autoptic pancreata. After postmortem ductography and formalin fixation the organs were cut in slices of 8 mm thickness. After paraffinembedding histological sections were made from these slices. In photographical magnification (20 X) of these sections the amount of adipose tissue and pancreatic parenchyma were measured by morphometric means. The length of the pancreatic duct was determined in the radiographs. The data were evaluated by statistical methods. The share of the adipose tissue and the total weight of the pancreata are positively correlated depending on age and body weight. In contrast the weight of the pancreatic parenchyma shows no correlation to age, body length and weight. The amount of lipomatosis is the same in the various parts of the dorsal pancreatic anlage. On the other hand, the amount is clearly diminished in the ventral anlage. In the lipomatous pancreata the main duct is longer than in the normal. The lipomatosis of the pancreas is not correlated with a loss of parenchyma, which means, that there is not a true lipomatous atrophy. Even if the parenchyma in the lipomatous pancreata is replaced by fat tissue, which includes the undestroyed pancreatic islets, the parenchym...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
