By homology, the interactions and conservation of proteins/genes may indicate similar outcomes for both organisms. The exposure to Methylphenidate during pregnancy affected odontogenesis in mouse embryos and may affect human odontogenesis. The study of malformations in mice, with a bioinformatics approach, could contribute to understanding of the Methylphenidate effect on embryo development. These results may provide novel hypotheses for further testing and reinforce the FDA protocol as Methylphenidate is included in category C, its use during pregnancy should be considered if the benefits outweigh the risks. We report a case of intraocular invasion of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) through a cataract surgery wound that manifested as an anterior chamber membrane, and perform a review of the literature. An 87-year-old woman with history of an incompletely excised OSSN 10 days prior presented with decreased vision due to an anterior chamber membranous film that seemed connected to an old cataract wound. The membrane was biopsied, and histopathology revealed dysplastic squamous epithelial cells of conjunctival origin. Ten days later the tumor expanded to cover the entire iris surface, and a modified enucleation was performed. Histopathology revealed invasive OSSN extending deep to the ciliary body and laterally into the anterior chamber. The patient developed a submandibular node metastasis 7months later. Literature review revealed six cases of invasive OSSN resulting from extension through a corneal wound, with varied presentations and outcomes. Our case is the first to report invasive OSSN presenting as an anterior chamber membrane as a result of incomplete excision of an ocular surface malignancy adjacent to a corneal wound poses a risk for intraocular tumor extension and distant metastasis.

However, formaldehyde contained in some LBC preservation solutions can cause DNA fragmentation during specimen storage, rendering the samples unsuitable for molecular analysis. To investigate a novel preservation technique for improved DNA stability, which was evaluated by mutation analysis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Cells were fixed in CytoRich Red preservation solution. After 30 min of fixation, cells were either stored using the conventional method (suspended in preservation solution) or washed in phosphate-buffered saline and stored as a cell pellet (newly proposed method). The effect of storage was evaluated after 5, 7, and 9 days of storage at ambient temperature. The cell pellet group was also tested after 14 and 28 days. Specifically, we evaluated the DNA stability, DNA yield, and sample suitability for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and EGFR mutation detection. The DNA yields and degree of stability from the cell pellet group were higher than those from the suspension group at every time point examined. PCR amplification from the cell pellet group was successful up to day 28. Mutation detection using the Cycleave PCR method indicated that the Ct values of the cell pellet group were significantly lower than those of the suspension group. Storing LBC specimens as a cell pellet post-fixation can maintain the DNA quality for a longer period than the conventional method, making it a promising strategy for molecular analysis.The intestinal epithelium possesses a great capacity of self-renewal under normal homeostatic conditions and of regeneration upon damages.
