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。

Pretransplant Exposure to Donor HLA-DR Antigen in Random Transfusion Units and the Development of Donor Antigen-Specific Hyporeactivity

Our previous studies have shown that the in vitro assay of donor antigen-specific hyporeactivity is a useful marker for identifying solid organ transplant recipients (kidney, lung and heart) at low risk for immunologic complications (i.e., late acute rejection episodes and chronic rejection). Donor antigen-specific hyporeactivity is defined as a significantly decreased post- vs. pretransplant proliferative response to donor antigens while response to third-party controls remains unchanged. We analyzed whether exposure to the same HLA-DR antigen pretransplant via random blood transfusion and posttransplant via the transplanted organ influenced the development of hyporeactivity. Thirty previously nontransfused recipients, each receiving two 150 ml pretransplant random blood transfusions, were assessed for hyporeactivity at 1 year posttransplant. Of the 12 recipients with pretransplant exposure to kidney HLA-DR via transfusions, 6 (50%) developed hyporesponsiveness; in contrast, of the 18 recipients who were not preexposed, only 3 (15%) exhibited this form of immunomodulation. Of interest, 2 of the 3 hyporesponsive recipients who were not preexposed, received units containing HLA-DR antigens previously shown to share crossreactive epitopes with the kidney HLA-DR. In conclusion, these results suggest a increased incidence in the development of hyporeactivity in patients receiving pretransplant transfusions which share an HLA-DR antigen with the transplanted kidney.

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.     

Remarkable correlation between increased HLA-DQ antigen positive monocytes and prognosis of renal transplantation

Since cyclosporin A (CsA), a widely used immunosuppressive drug, strongly suppresses interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion, it is frequently difficult to estimate T lymphocyte activation in early acute rejection. We found that, when evaluated based on HLA-DQ antigen expression, monocyte activation in the peripheral blood of renal transplantation patients was a very sharp parameter in diagosing acute rejection. All of 16 episodes of early acute rejection, which were relatively easily suppressed by steroid pulse therapy, showed a sharp increase in the proportion of HLA-DQ antigen-positive monocytes (DQ⁺ mono) and a quick return of DQ⁺ mono to previous values, along with a fall in serum creatinine levels. Since, however, HLA-DR antigen-positive T lymphocytes (DR ⁺T) were markedly increased over a long period in episodes of therapy-resistant and chronic rejection, their prolonged high value was regarded as a parameter indicative of poor prognosis.     

The value of pretreatment clinical and biochemical parameters in patients with newly diagnosed untreated prostate carcinoma and no indications for bone metastases on the bone scintigram

Between 10% and 25% of patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer without bone metastases at the time of diagnosis will develop metastases during follow-up. To determine the value of clinical and biochemical parameters for assessment of prognosis at the time of diagnosis, a retrospective study was performed in 124 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer without bone metastases. The mean follow-up was 41 months, during which time 36 patients died and 15 patients developed metastases. Bone scans were classified from 0 (=normal) through 2 (=abnormal, but not typical for metastases) and were correlated with age, alkaline phosphatase (AP), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), tumour grade, T-stage and N-stage. In patients with a class 2 scan, additional roentgenograms and follow-up were used to exclude metastases at initial stage. All parameters, including therapy, were finally correlated with the development of metastases and survival. For survival 38 patients with proven metastases were used as controls. For all parameters tested, no statistically significant differences were found between the three bone scan classifications. The interval between diagnosis and the development of metastases ranged from 12 to 72 months. For the risk of development of metastases only PSA was found to be a significant correlate (P=0.0075). However, when tumour stages were clustered in limited disease (T0–2) and extensive disease (T3–4), the incidence of metastases was significantly higher in patients with extensive disease than in those with limited disease (P=0.0021). Finally, age, PSA and Anderson classification were found to be significant correlates of survival, but in stepwise analysis PSA was selected as the most prognostic variable (P<0.0001). In contrast with a typical pattern of metastases on bone scintigraphy, an abnormal scan (class 1 and 2) at the time of diagnosis is not a poor prognostic parameter of the risk of death. In conclusion, in patients with prostate cancer without bone metastases at the time of diagnosis, pretreatment PSA and tumour stage can be used for the assessment of risk of development of metastases during follow-up and survival. For this purpose, tumour stage should be clustered in limited and extensive disease. Received 14 April and in revised form 9 June 1997
