LWBK713-FM-i-xvi.qxd 7/23/10 7:55 PM Page v Aptara I would like to dedicate this book to my mother, Lottie Dudek, who was born on November 11, 1918. Through the years my mother raised her children, maintained a loving marriage, and worked 40 hours per week. In the year 2004, society would describe such a person as a “liberated woman” or “supermom.” I would like to acknowledge that my mother was a “supermom” 20 years before the word was fashionable. A son cannot repay a mother. My hope is that “I love you and thank you” will suffice. v LWBK713-FM-i-xvi.qxd 7/23/10 7:55 PM Page vi Aptara LWBK713-FM-i-xvi.qxd 7/23/10 7:55 PM Page vii Aptara Preface High-Yield Histopathology does more than just review histology. The questions on the USMLE Step 1 cross traditional course boundaries, making it difficult to identify a question that is “strictly histology.” Many USMLE Step 1 questions fall into the categories such as histopatholo- gy, histophysiology, histomicrobiology, and histopharmacology. To write a review book on basic, traditional histology would not be helpful to the student preparing for the USMLE Step 1 since there are no basic traditional histology questions on the exam. In this regard, High-Yield Histopathology reviews important histology concepts as a gateway to the pathology, physiology, microbiology, and pharmacology of clinically relevant topics. In addition, many students have commented that cell biology topics have been well represented on the USMLE Step 1. To this end, I have included Chapter 1 (Nucleus), Chapter 2 (Cytoplasm and Organelles), and Chapter 3 (Cell Membrane) with up-to-date and clinically relevant informa- tion. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions concerning High-Yield Histopathology, espe- cially after you have taken the USMLE Step 1 exam, that you think might improve the book.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Introduction • The female reproductive system is more complex than the male system because it serves more purposes – Produces and delivers gametes – Provides nutrition and safe harbor for fetal development – Gives birth – Nourishes infant • Female system is more cyclic, and the hormones are secreted in a more complex sequence than the relatively steady secretion in the male 28-2 Sexual Differentiation • The two sexes indistinguishable for first 8 to 10 weeks of development • Female reproductive tract develops from the paramesonephric ducts – Not because of the positive action of any hormone – Because of the absence of testosterone and müllerian-inhibiting factor (MIF) 28-3 Reproductive Anatomy • Expected Learning Outcomes – Describe the structure of the ovary – Trace the female reproductive tract and describe the gross anatomy and histology of each organ – Identify the ligaments that support the female reproductive organs – Describe the blood supply to the female reproductive tract – Identify the external genitalia of the female – Describe the structure of the nonlactating breast 28-4 Sexual Differentiation • Without testosterone: – Causes mesonephric ducts to degenerate – Genital tubercle becomes the glans clitoris – Urogenital folds become the labia minora – Labioscrotal folds

Elevated levels of aromatase (CYP19 or CYP19A1) mRNA have been previously described in LCTs; however, little is known about the mechanism(s) causing CYP19 over-expression. We report an LCT in a 29-year-old male with elevated plasma oestradiol caused by enhanced CYP19 transcription. Design and methods: First, we measured the intra-tumour expression of CYP19 and determined the use of CYP19 promoters by qPCR. Secondly, we explored CYP19 and promoter II (PII) for gene amplifications and activating mutations in PII by sequencing. Thirdly, we analysed intra-tumour expression of steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1 (NR5A1)), liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1 (NR5A2)) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2 (PTGS2)). Finally, we analysed SF-1 for promoter mutations and gene amplifications.

  • Placenta, Chorioallantois
    WSC 2009-2010, Conference 20, Case 1. Tissue from a horse. MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION: Placenta, chorioallantois (allantochorion): There is diffuse coagulative necrosis (2pt.) of the chorionic villi, with retention of villar outlines and a distinct lack of differential staining. Multifocally, the deepest parts of the chorionic villi exhibit necrosis and sloughing of epithelium, infiltration of moderate numbers of neutrophils (1 pt.) and rare macrophages, which are admixed with eosinophilic cellular and karyorrhectic/necrotic debris, fibrin (1 pt.), hemorrhage (1 pt.), and mineral. Villar capillaries are dilated, congested, and contain moderate numbers of neutrophils. (1 pt.) Throughout the necrotic villi, there are outlines of 3-6 um wide, fungal hyphae (2 pt.) which are rarely pigmented brown. The chorioallantoic stroma is diffusely and moderately edematous. (1 pt.) There are large numbers of viable and degenerate neutrophils, primarily within the superficial chorioallantoic stroma, admixed with edema and cellular debris. (1 pt.) Vessels within chorioallantoic stroma often contain fibrin thrombi (2 pt.), and occasional veins contain small numbers of neutrophils, necrotic cellular debris, and small amounts of a brightly eosinophilic material (exuded protein), within the wall (vasculitis) (1 pt.). The allantoic epithelium is diffusely hypertrophic. (1 pt.) MICROSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS: Placenta, chorioallantois (allantochorion): Placentitis , necrotizing, diffuse, severe, with fibrin thrombi and numerous fungal hyphae. (4 pt.) O/C: (1 pt.)
