.MYCOLOGIC IDENTIFICATION OF EMERICELLA NIDULANS AND ASPERGILLUS FLAVUS CAUSED PULMONARY INFECTION

A rare case of pulmonary infection caused by Emericella nidulans and Aspergillus flavus is reported for the first time in our country. "This diagnosis is of significance mycologically. :Direct microscopic examination and histopatho- logic cross section of expectorated mass show numerolus cleistoithecia of varying size, filled by asci and ascospores. Outside the cleistothecia 'were numerous thickwalled Hulle cells. The pa- tient was treated satisfactorily with antimyco- tics.

Expression of nm23 protein in human osteosarcoma in relationship with early metastasis

Nm23 protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections from 39 cases with osteosarcomas and compared with the histologic findings and early metastasis for the purpose of detecting nm23 expression in osteosarcoma and elucidating the clinical significance of its expression. Immunoreactivity of nm23 protein was detected in 48.7% of the total cases. There was no statistical difference between nm23 expression and early metastasis, but there was a trend for cases with nm23 expression to progress to early metastasis within 1 year after operation. The role of nm23 as a tumor metastasis suppressor in osteosarcomas appeared less prominent.

Non-invasive detection of fecal protein kinase C betaII and zeta messenger RNA: putative biomarkers for colon cancer

We have developed a non-invasive method utilizing feces, containing sloughed colonocytes, as a sensitive technique for detecting diagnostic colonic biomarkers. In this study, we used the rat colon carcinogenesis model to determine if changes in fecal protein kinase C (PKC) expression have predictive value in monitoring the neoplastic process. Weanling rats were injected with saline or azoxymethane (AOM) and 36 weeks later fecal samples and mucosa were collected, poly A+ RNA isolated, and quantitative RT-PCR performed using primers to PKC betaII and zeta. Fecal PKC betaII and zeta mRNA levels were altered by the presence of a tumor, with tumor-bearing animals having a 3-fold higher (P < 0.05) PKC betaII expression as compared with animals without tumors. In addition, AOM-injection increased mucosal PKC betaII mRNA expression compared with saline controls. No effect of tumor incidence on mucosal PKC betaII expression was observed. In contrast, fecal PKC zeta expression was 2.5-fold lower (P < 0.05) in animals injected with azoxymethane versus saline. Since tumor incidence exerts a reciprocal effect on fecal PKC betaII and zeta mRNA expression, data were also expressed as the ratio between PKC betaII and zeta. The isozyme ratio was strongly related to tumor incidence, i.e. ratio for animals with tumors was 2.18 +/- 1.25, animals without tumors was 0.50 +/- 0.16, P = 0.025. We demonstrate that the expression of fecal PKC betaII and zeta may serve as a noninvasive marker for development of colon tumors. A sensitive technique for the detection of colon cancer is of importance since early diagnosis can substantially reduce mortality.      

Hyperbaric oxygenation induced tolerance against focal cerebral ischemia in mice is strain dependent

SV129 or C57BL/6 mice were exposed to hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO, 5 days, 1 h every day, 100% O(2) at 3 atm absolute). One day after the 5th HBO session focal cerebral ischemia was induced. In SV129 mice, HBO induced tolerance against permanent focal cerebral ischemia (n=42, mean infarct volume reduction 27%, P=0.001), but not against transient (30 or 60 min) focal cerebral ischemia. In the C57BL/6 strain of mice, HBO did not induce tolerance against focal cerebral ischemia, even when the duration of ischemia or the HBO protocol were modified. For the first time we demonstrate that HBO can induce tolerance to focal cerebral ischemia, but this effect is strain dependent.

Immunobiologic, cytogenetic and drug response features of a newly established cell line (SCRC-1) from renal small cell carcinoma

PURPOSE: We describe the establishment and preliminary characterization of a cell line designated SCRC-1, which was derived from a primary renal small cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Continuous cultures of a primary stage IVa renal small cell carcinoma and a xenograft in nude mice derived therefrom were characterized by immunohistology, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence/flow cytometry, cytogenetic analysis, and an in vitro drug resistance assay. RESULTS: SCRC-1 cells were reactive with antibodies to NSE, chromogranin-A, bombesin, Bcl-2, CD44s, CD44v6, CD44v7 to 8, vimentin and S100 protein (predominantly beta-subunit), and were unreactive with antibodies to EMA, CD54, EGFR(R1), URO-5, URO-7, URO-8 and URO-10. A similar immunoprofile was also found in both the primary tumor and the xenograft. Cytogenetic analysis revealed the following common clonal aberrations in all 50 metaphases analyzed: 45, XX, t (X;10;18) (p11;p11;q11), -der(18)t(X;10;18), indicating the clonal nature of this neoplasm. SCRC-1 cells showed low drug resistance to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, gemcitabine and fluorouracil, intermediate resistance to carmustine and mitomycin-C, and extreme resistance to cisplatin. CONCLUSION: We have documented the initial characterization of SCRC-1, which may be the first cell line reported to be derived from a primary small cell carcinoma of the kidney. This cell line can be used for further studies uncovering the biology and histogenesis of this rare cancer and delineating differences among small cell carcinomas of the kidney and other histological types.
