What's the difference between carnification and cornification?
Carnification
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of turning to flesh, or to a substance resembling flesh.
Example Sentences:
(1) Areas of interstitial pneumosclerosis, atelectasis and carnification were found to have a high STmin and to contain less than 1 mg of PL per 1 g of the lung tissue, whereas foci of emphysema had a lower STmin and a higher content of PL.
(2) The main changes that are most imminent during shock are the organisation and carnification of cells and plasma proteins within the lung parenchyma due to increased extravasation.
(3) Their distribution in the lungs corresponded to the areas of lung carnification.
(4) The analysis of 93 cases of bullous pulmonary emphysema provided evidence for the significance of valvular mechanism of bulla formation operable at two levels: in small bronchi and bronchioles on the one hand and in the area of subpleural fibrosis on the other hand, the latter arising in the result of subpleural atelectasis or subpleural carnificating pneumonia.
(5) In this study, the authors demonstrate that near drowning in muddy water causes pulmonary silicate granulomatosis associated with carnificating fibrosis of the lung and term the pulmonary changes "muddy lung."
Cornification
Definition:
(n.) Conversion into, or formation of, horn; a becoming like horn.
Example Sentences:
(1) Female rats were light-sterilized by exposure to continuous illumination for 82 days and, based on the duration of continuous vaginal cornification and the absence of corpora lutea at post-mortem histological examination of the ovaries, were anovulatory for at least 30 days prior to injection.
(2) S-S bonds were formed in cornification with the appearance of electron-dense material by the inner leaflet.
(3) Uterine endometrium was collected from cyclic and pregnant bitches on diestrus Days 3, 7, and 10 as determined by loss of cornification of vaginal epithelium, and from ovariectomized dogs after treatment with corn oil, estrogen, P4, or estrogen followed by 1 or 2 wk of P4.
(4) Both RCS and Wistar strains responded to constant light (LL) exposure by attaining persistent vaginal cornification at the same rate.
(5) The progression of the neonatally steroid-treated mouse lesions from persistent vaginal cornification through hyperplastic lesions to tumors is described.
(6) Findings at autopsy together with the prolonged periods of vaginal cornification suggest that VMH lesions result in blocked or delayed ovulation.
(7) The same treatments in pseudopregnant rats also produced transient vaginal cornification, but did not terminate pseudopregnancy.
(8) The breeder diet had no effect on the transition from 4- to 5-day cycles, the onset of acyclicity, or on the incidence or duration of persistent vaginal cornification.
(9) Cornification at 18 weeks gestation is followed by clearing of keratinous debris to the exterior.
(10) The potency of estrone, estradiol, estriol, and equilenin, administered to mice subcutaneously or intravaginally, was quantitated by vaginal mitotic index and by epithelial thickness; results were compared with those previously obtained in the classical tests of rat vaginal cornification and uterotrophic activity in mice.
(11) Subepithelial nodules of polygonal cells in the upper (Mullerian) vagina during early postnatal life were associated with the later occurrence of ovary-independent persistent stratification with or without cornification in mice treated neonatally with 0.1-10 micrograms DES and thus are a possible predictor of this phenomenon.
(12) At 7 days the tongue was covered by a flat epithelium without cornification, with four cell lines.
(13) Vaginal cytologic characteristics during proestrus were studied, and vaginal cornification was complete 12.1 (SE,0.2) days before the onset of diestrus.
(14) The persistent estrus state, manifested as persistent vaginal cornification and polycystic ovaries, was induced in 80% of the animals.
(15) Vaginal epithelial cells undergoing ovary-independent stratification and cornification in neonatally DES-exposed mice and normal estrous mice showed ER immunoreaction only in the basal cells.
(16) Improved cornification coincided with an increased number of mature KHG and cross-banded MCG, and lamellate MCG contents extracellularly.
(18) A single subcutaneous dose of 100 mg of TSAA-291 or TSAA-330 also induced the antagonism against the cornification caused by daily treatments with 1 microgram oestrone in the adult ovariectomized rat.
(19) Squamous-cell carcinoma with cornification highly differentiated adenocarcinoma and non-differentiated microcellular cancer possess characteristic features ensuring a highly reliable-cytological diagnosis.
(20) Following treatment, the animals entered a phase of constant vaginal cornification.
