Abstract:
Objective To research the expression and biological significance of methallothionein(MT) in different thyroid diseases(TDs).Methods The expression of MT was observed by immunohistochemical stain and the difference among TDs was compared.Results MT was completely expressed in all TDs. Expression of MT was 87.60?9.20 in thyroid carcinoma,significantly higher than that(62.20?12.40) in thyroid adenoma, that(61.10?13.20) in Graves′ disease and that(58.50?10.60) in Hashimoto′ thyroiditis (P
