Objective To assess the role of promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML)and P53 in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)and its precursor lesions. Methods Different expression patterns of PML and P53 of 241 cases of ESCC combined with adjacent precursors were analyzed by tissue array and immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinicopathological parameters. Results In ESCC and its precursor lesions, PML and P53 displayed positive or strong positive, while in normal esophageal epithelia, these proteins showednegative or stained positive only in parabasal cell layer. The expression level of PML was correlated with the depth of invasion of esophageal carcinomas (X2=29.461,P<0.001),lymph metastasis status(X2=15.226,P<0.001)and pTNMs(x2=26.956,P

Objective To identify the expression of DLK1 protein in different types of renal cell carcinomas and its correlations with pathological characteristics and metastasis. Methods Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed to evaluate the expression of DLK1 protein in 94 cases of primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma, 76 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma, 45 cases of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, 71 cases of distal metastatic and 24 cases of lymph node metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma, as well as 18 cases of normal renal tissue. The correlations of DLK1 protein expression with pathological characteristics were analyzed. Results DLK1 protein was expressed in proximal and distal renal tubular epithelial cells in all the normal renal cases. In contrast, DLK1 protein expression was lower in different types of renal cell carcinoma. The low or negative expression of DLK1 protein in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, papillary renal cell carcinoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma was 33.0% (31/94), 27.6% (21/76) and 33.3% (15/45), respectively. Compared to normal renal tissue, DLK1 protein expression was significantly down-regulated in renal cell carcinomas (P>0.05), whereas there was no significant difference on DLK1 protein expressions among the different types (P>0.05) of renal cell carcinomas. DLK1 protein expression was not correlated with sex (60 male and 34 female cases), age (≥55, 50 cases and 55, 44 cases), grade (41 cases in grade I, 9 cases in grade II, 21 cases in grade III and 23 cases in grade Ⅳ respectively) and lymph node metastasis (76 cases with and 18 cases without lymph node metastasis) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (P>0.05). There was also no significant difference among primary, lymph node and distal metastatic lesions of clear cell carcinoma (P>0.05). Conclusions DLK1 protein expression is commonly down-regulated in different types of renal cell carcinomas. Down-regulation of DLK1 protein expression is not associated with pathological characteristics and metastasis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the value of ultrasonic diagnosis on cervical lymph nodes metastasis regions and characteristics in thyroid carcinoma.Methods Ultrasound image of 290 patients with thyroid carcinoma were analyzed restrospectively.The cervical lymph node metastasis regions diagnosed by ultrasonography were compared with histopathologic results,and the ultrasound characteristics of metastasis lymph nodes were assessed.Results Among 290 patients,167 cases with cervical lymph node metastasis were comfirmed by pathology (57.6%),and 185 cases were detected by pre-operative ultrasound (63.8%).The region of thyroid carcinoma lymph node metastasis comfirmed by histopathology was most commonly the central region (54.1%),followed by the lateral neck (20.7%).The diagnostic rate of central region lymph node metastatic by pre-operative ultrasound was only 31.7%,which was sharply lower than that of lateral region (57.6%,P <0.05).However,the diagnostic specificity (72.8 %) was apparently higher than lateral region (35.9%,P <0.05).The ultrasonic characteristics of metastatic cervical lymph nodes included rounded shape,absence of echogenic hilus,presence of calcitication,hyperechogenicity and cystic change.Conclusions The cervical central region is the predominant region for thyroid carcinoma lymph node metastasis,and ultrasound diagnosis on central region lymph node metastasis possesses positive specificity but negative sensitivity.Improving ultrasound diagnostic accuracy on central lymph nodes metastasis would be of important clinical significance.
