介绍一种不加盖玻片的核酸原位杂交改良法

核酸原位杂交程序中探针和靶基因的加热变性和杂交为整个程序中最重要的环节,目前国内外最常用的方法是在切片上滴加DNA探针溶液后用盖玻片复盖组织,并加胶泥或其他封固剂封闭玻片四周,变性杂交后需拆除盖玻片,这一操作过程易损坏组织切片或出现干片、脱片。作者针对上述情况,对传统的核酸原位杂交方法中的部分程序加以改良,采用不加盖玻片直接在蒸汽中变性方法,经多次实验证明此方法稳定、可靠、简便,结果满意。     

胃癌组织COX-2的表达及其与细胞增殖和凋亡的关系

目的 :探讨环氧化酶 - 2 (cyclooxygenase - 2 ,COX - 2 )在胃癌组织中的表达与癌细胞增殖和凋亡的关系。 方法 :采用免疫组织化学的方法检测 4 3例胃癌患者COX - 2和增殖细胞核抗原 (PCNA)的表达 ,用TUNEL法检测原位细胞凋亡的情况。分别计算细胞增殖指数 (MI)和凋亡指数 (AI)。结果 :胃癌组织COX - 2表达的阳性率为 6 0 .4 7% ,明显高于对照组 (P <0 .0 1)。COX - 2的高表达与胃癌淋巴结的转移和临床分期有关 ,与肿瘤大小、浸润深度、分化程度均无关。COX - 2阳性胃癌组中MI高于COX - 2阴性胃癌组 ,而AI却低于COX - 2阴性胃癌组 (P均 <0 .0 1)。结论 :COX - 2的过度表达可促进胃癌细胞增殖、抑制细胞凋亡 ,在胃癌的发生、发展过程中起着重要的作用。     

Correlation of Nuclear Morphometry and Immunostaining for p53 and Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen in Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

Background :
In an attempt to determine the biological significance of nuclear morphometric findings, measurements of mean nuclear volume (MNV) and nuclear roundness factor (NRF) were compared to the immunoreactivityof p53 expression and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in human bladder cancer.
Methods :
MNV and NRF were measured using stereological methods. Expression of p53 and PCNA were determined by immunohistochemical staining. Specimens from 111 patients with previously untreated bladder cancer were analyzed.
Results :
The mean MNV was 235.8 ± 1 33.6 μm³ for the 81 patients with p53-labeling index (LI) less than 10% and 337.2 ± 141.0 μn³ for the 30 patients with p53 LI greater than 10% (P = 0.008). There was Resign if icant correlation between NRF and expression of p53. The mean MNV was 220.1 ± 1 20.5 μm³ for the 67 patients with PCNA LI less than 28% (the mean value of PCNA LI) and 328.9 ± 149.2 μm³ in 44 patients with PCNA LI greater than 28% (P= 0.0001). The mean NRF was 80.7 ± 4.2 for the 67 patients with PCNA LI less than 28%, and 82.3 ± 3.4 for the 44 patients with PCNA LI more than 28% (P= 0.04). Conclusion: Nuclear morphometric findings may reflect the proliferative potential of cancer eel Is of the bladder, as indicated by findings of immunostaining for p53 and PCNA.     

大鼠胃黏膜癌变过程中细胞增殖与端粒酶活性关系

Haemangiopericytomas: the prognostic value of immunohistochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)

Forty-two cases of haemangiopericytoma were studied retrospectively using immunohistochemical staining with PC10, a monoclonal antibody to PCNA. The percentage of tumour cells with positive staining for PCNA was found to correlate well with histological grading. Clinical follow-up data were available in 25 adults and showed no known deaths in 11 cases with a low proportion (less than 14%) of positive cells. Out of 14 cases with a high number (greater than or equal to 14%) of positive cells, seven patients are known to have died, two had metastases, and in a further two there have been multiple recurrences of tumour. DNA flow cytometry was performed on 26 cases but this showed no correlation with PC10 staining or clinical outcome. Staining with PC10 may be of particular value in the identification of patients at greatest risk of rapid tumour metastasis and early death.

Cerebellar nuclear afferents--where do they originate? A re-evaluation of the projections from some lower brain stem nuclei

Summary Cerebellar nuclear afferents from some caudal brain stem nuclei in the cat were studied by means of retrograde transport after implantation of the wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex in crystalline form in the cerebellar nuclei. The findings give evidence that projections to the cerebellar nuclei from certain nuclei of the reticular formation proper (e.g., from the gigantocellular reticular nucleus) are very modest, while there appears to be no or extremely few cerebellar nuclear afferents from the paramedian reticular, spinal trigeminal, gracile, cuneate and external cuneate nuclei. Previous tracer studies have given evidence that also the pontine and red nuclei send very few, if any, fibres to the cerebellar nuclei. All these brain stem regions are known to project to the cerebellar cortex. This relative lack of mossy fibre collaterals to the cerebellar nuclei is discussed with references to previous literature on the distribution of cerebellar nuclear afferents, and the problem of how the cerebellar nuclei are facilitated is considered.Abbreviations Br.c. superior cerebellar peduncle (brachium conjunctivum) - Br.p. middle cerebellar peduncle (brachium pontis) - C.r. interior cerebellar peduncle (restiform body) - HRP horseradish peroxidase - L left - N.c. cuneate nucleus - N.c.e. external cuneate nucleus - N.c.t. nucleus of corpus trapezoideum - NIA anterior interposed nucleus - NIP posterior interposed nucleus - NL lateral (dentate) nucleus - N.l.l. nuclei of lateral lemniscus - NM medial (fastigial) nucleus - N.m.X. dorsal motor vagal nucleus - N.mes. mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus - N.r.l. lateral reticular nucleus (nucleus of the lateral funiculus) - N.r.p. paramedian reticular nucleus - N.r.t. reticular tegmental pontine nucleus - N V, VI, VII, XII root fibres of cranial nerves - Ol.s. superior olive - P.h. nucleus praepositus hypoglossi - Py pyramid - R right - R.gc. gigantocellular reticular nucleus - R.l. lateral reticular nucleus of Meessen and Olszewski - R.p.c. caudal pontine reticular nucleus - R.pc. parvicellular reticular nucleus - R.v. ventral reticular nucleus - Tr.sp.V. spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve - T.s. solitary tract surrounded by nucleus of solitary tract - V.m. medial vestibular nucleus - WGA wheat germ agglutinin - WGA-HRP wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate - V, VI, VII, X, XII motor nuclei of cranial nerves
