Objective To explore the role of cell cycle regulators in tuberculosis with lung carcinoma.Methods p53,MDM_2,p21~ ras and p21~ WAF1 proteins were detected by LsAB immunohistochemical technique in 69 cases of tuberculosis with lung carcinoma.Results As compared with primary tuberculosis with lung carcinoma,the expression rate p53 or MDM_2 protein in relapsing NPC was similar(78% to 80%,84% to 83%),and the expression rate of p21~ ras and p21~ WAF1 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously descended(73% to 93%,52% to 84%);The high-expression rate of p53 protein in relapsing NPC was similar(42% to 51%),the high-expression rate of MDM_2 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously risen(57% to 32%),and the high-expression rate of p21~ ras and p21~ WAF1 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously descended(16% to 65%,17% to 46%).Among of them,the significant rise of MDM_2 protein expression level in relapsing NPC mainly occurred in the patients of group 2 which relapsing-interval was shorter than 34 months(P

Objective To explore the role of cell cycle regulator in tuberculosis with lung cancer.Methods The ex- pression of p21~(WAF1)gene and p53 protein in 101 cases of tuberculosis with lung cancer have been detected by immunohis- toehemical method.Results total positive staining rate of p21~(WAF1)gene and p53 protein was 42.9% and 64.1%; The expression of both was correlated with histological classification and differentiation of carcinoma.Conclusion Detection of p21W AF1 gene and p53 protein expression may have significant value in the prognosis of tuberculosis with lung cancer

Objective　To study E-cadherin associated proteins α-、β-、γ-catenin expression and their significance in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of breast. Methods　Immunohistochemistry staining (labeled streptavidin-biotin method) was used to detect α-、β-、γ-catenin expression in invasive breast carcinoma (19 cases of ILC and 32 cases of IDC ). Results　The loss and reduction rate of α-、β-、γ-catenin expression in ILC was 78.9% (15 cases)，52.6%(10 cases) and 84.2%(16 cases), respectively. The rate of α-、β-、γ-catenin expression showing loss and reduction in IDC was 75.0%(24 cases)，43.8%(14 cases) and 81.3%(26 cases), respectively. The staining intensity of α-、β-、γ-catenin expression in invasive carcinoma of breast was weaker than that in foci of carcinoma in situ (semiquantitative grading). There was a positive relationship between the expression of α-catenin and β-catenin in invasive breast carcinoma. No significant association was seen between reduced protein expression of α-、β-、γ-catenin and the development of lymph node metastasis. Conclusion　α-、β-、γ-catenin expression was almost identical in ILC and IDC of breast, showing significant loss and reduction of protein expression in the carcinoma cells of invasive breast carcinoma, suggesting that α-、β-、γ-catenin may lose their normal adherent ability in the pathogenesis of invasive breast carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of hepatic echinococcus granulosus (HEG).Methods:Thirteen cases of HEG were collected from Linzhi People′s Hospital between January 2017 to October 2020, and their clinicopathologic features, ultrasound classi?cation, immunophenotype and histochemical data were analyzed, retrospectively and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:Thirteen patients (5 male patients, 8 female patients) were included in this cohort, and the mean age was 40 years. The most common clinical presentation was mild abdominal distention and pain (9/13). Based on WHO-IWGE ultrasound standardized classi?cation, these cases were classified into 5 types, including type CL (1 case), type CE1 (2 cases), type CE2 (4 cases), type CE3 (3 cases) and type CE4 (3 cases). Gross examination revealed a solitary cyst localized in the liver, varying from 2.7 to 13.5 cm in diameter, and most of them(10/13)were more than 10 cm. Histopathologically, these cysts possessed a thin inner germinal layer and outer adventitial layer, and a central cavity ?lled with a clear"hydatid"?uid. The germinal layer was continuous and generated brood capsules and protoscoleces. The laminated membranes were clearly demonstrated by elastic fiber and Gomori′s stains. Inside the"mother"cyst, there were a varying number of"daughter"vesicles of variable sizes. The inflammatory reaction around the cyst consisted of eosinophils, mononuclear cells immediately next to the cyst layer and sometimes formed granuloma and giant cells resembling the Langhan′s type giant cells. The lymphoid cells were positive for CD20 and CD3. The CD68 immunohistochemistry clearly demonstrated epithelioid cells of granuloma in two cases. Moreover, immunohistochemistry revealed plasma cells were locally positive for CD38, IgG and IgG4, but not meeting the criteria for IgG4 related lesion.Conclusions:Hepatic echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic parasitic disease prevalent in pastoral areas such as Tibet. It is important to understand its clinical features, ultrasound characteristics and histological morphology.

Objective To investigate the correlation of moesin and E-cadherin with biological behavior of breast cancer and its mechanism by comparing expression of moesin and E-cadherin in breast invasive carcinoma of no specific type (BIC-NST),breast ductal carcinoma in situ (BDCIS) and normal breast tissues adjacent to carcinoma.Methods Breast cancer cases of the Huizhou Municipal Center People Hospital were collected between Jan 2008 and Dec 2010,expression of moesin and E-cadherin in 104 cases of BIC-NST,84 cases of BDCIS and 53 cases of normal breast tissues adjacent to carcinoma were detected by tissue-microarray and SP immunohistochemical staining.Western blot was used to detect moesin expression of 16 BIC-NST fresh tissues.Results Expression rate of moesin in BIC-NST and BDCIS were significantly higher than normal tissues(P ＜ 0.01),but the expression rate of E-cadherin in BIC-NST and BDCIS were significantly lower than those of normal tissues(P ＜ 0.01).Expression rate of moesin in BIC-NST grade Ⅲ group was significantly higher than that of the grade Ⅰ group.There was a significantly positive correlation between histological grade and moesin expression(P ＜ 0.05).However,E-cadherin expression rate in BICNST grade Ⅲ group was significantly lower than that in grade Ⅰ group,and there was a significantly negative correlation between histological grade and E-cadherin expression (P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,no significant correlation was observed between moesin and E-cadherin expression in BDCIS tissues.Expression of moesin in clinical stage Ⅱ + Ⅲ BIC-NST was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01).Expression of moesin was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.01).But no significant correlation was observed between moesin expression and age,tumor size and vascular invasion.However,expression of E-cadherin in clinical stage Ⅱ + Ⅲ BIC-NST was significantly lower than that in stage Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01).Expression of E-cadherin was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion (P ＜ 0.01).But no significant correlation was observed between E-cadherin expression,age and tumor size.There was a negative correlation between expression of moesin and E-cadherin in BIC-NST(P =0.021)and BDCIS(P =O.032).Conclusion Higher moesin and lower E-cadherin signal transduction is closely related to the recurrence and development of breast carcinoma,therefore moesin and E-cadherin might provide new targets for gene therapy in breast carcinoma.
