In the present study, we carried out a comparative immunohistochemical analysis of aurora-A and aurora-B expression in 40 patients with primary glioblastomas, and attempted to identify any associations with Ki-67 index and the patients’ clinical features. The impact of various treatment modalities and proliferative activity on patient outcome was also assessed.Immunohistochemistry was carried out using formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue sections.Aurora-A expression was higher in tumors with high Ki-67 expression (p=0.01) and was positively, though marginally, related to aurora-B expression (p=0.085). Aurora-B expression was not linked to Ki-67 expression (p=0.182). Lower aurora-A immunohistochemical expression, chemotherapy administration, and tumor localization in one lobe of the brain implied a greater probability of patient survival in univariate analysis (p=0.044, p=0.008, p=0.041, respectively). Ki-67 and aurora-B immunoreactivities were not associated with patient survival (p=0.918 and p=0.539, respectively).To our knowledge, for the first time, the association between aurora-A and aurora-B expression, the correlation of aurora-A with Ki-67 index, and the prognostic impact of aurora-A expression were assessed in glioblastomas. Although we addressed a prognostic connotation of aurora-A, we presume that aurora-A and aurora-B play a complicated role within glioblastomas. Further examinations of larger series are required, so that definite conclusions can be drawn. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the NOD2/CARD15 gene have recently been shown to be associated with Crohn's disease (CD), but whether this susceptibility extends to all ethnic groups and geographic areas remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the NOD2/CARD15 mutations in Greek patients with CD. METHODS: Individuals were genotyped for three NOD2/CARD15 mutations: R702W, G908R and L1007fsinsC. Blood samples were obtained from 120 patients with CD, 85 patients with ulcerative colitis, and 100 unrelated healthy controls. RESULTS: Mutations in NOD2/CARD15 were observed with significantly greater frequency in CD patients (98/120, 81.7%) than in ulcerative colitis patients (40/85, 47%) (P < 0.0001) or in healthy individuals (21/100, 21%) (P < 0.0001). For CD patients, compared with controls, the odds were increased for carriage of the R702W (odds ratio, 12.25) and less for the G908R (odds ratio, 5.2) and L1007fsinsC (odds ratio, 3.9) mutations. The age of onset of CD was lower in Greek mutation carriers as compared with non-carriers of Greek origin (28.2 +/- 14.6 years versus 34 +/- 12.3 years, respectively; P = 0.036). Additionally, the frequency of NOD2/CARD15 mutations was increased in ileitis or ileocolitis compared with non-ileal disease. CONCLUSIONS: The NOD2/CARD15 mutations are risk factors for CD in Greece, they appear to predict an earlier age of onset and are associated particularly with ileitis or ileocolitis. 相似文献

The study of the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), E-cadherin, desmoglein-2, beta4-integrin, HCAM (CD44s) and ICAM-1 in Warthin's tumours. Twenty formalin--fixed, paraffin--embedded parotid Warthin's tumours were studied using an Envision/HRP immunohistochemical technique. Beta4-integrin was strongly expressed in all cell-basement membrane and intercellular contacts of the epithelium, E-cadherin and desmoglein-2 in cell-cell contacts, but not in basal cell-basement membrane connections and on columnar cells' luminal surfaces, HCAM (CD44s) in intercellular contacts of both luminal (mainly), basal cells and also in the periphery of monocytic-lymphocytic stroma, and ICAM-1 was weak to moderate expressed in both luminal and basal epithelial cells and strongly in the germinal lymphocytic centres. CAM expression suggests a bilayered excretory ductal structure of the neoplastic epithelium in Warthin's tumour, as a result of hyperplastic process of the glandular epithelium that interacts with the excessive lymphoid tissue of the stroma. 相似文献

Our aim was to study the effect of lower airway infection on clinical parameters, pulmonary function tests, and inflammation in clinically stable infants and young children with cystic fibrosis (CF). To accomplish this goal, a prospective cohort of screened CF patients under 4 years of age were studied, using elective anesthesia and intubation for: passive respiratory mechanics (single breath occlusion passive deflation) and lung volumes (nitrogen washout), under neuromuscular blockade; and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of 3 main bronchi for cytology, cytokine interleukin (IL)-8, and quantitative microbiology. There were 22 children studied, with a mean age of 23.2 months (6.7-44 months). A greater relative risk of lower airway pathogens was associated with prior respiratory admission (3.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.87-4.51), history of asthma (1.75, 95% CI 1.52-2.03), and chronic symptoms (1.50, 95% CI 1.23-1.83), especially wheeze (1.88, 95% CI 1.61-2.19). Lower respiratory pathogens (> or = 10 cfu/ml BAL) were found in 14 out of 22, and greater than 10(5) cfu/ml in 8 out of 22 subjects. The level of pathogens in BAL (log10 cfu/ml) explained 78% of the variability in percent neutrophils and 34% of the variability in IL-8 levels. Pathogen level also correlated with pulmonary function tests of specific respiratory system compliance (r -0.49, p = 0.02) and functional residual capacity over total lung capacity (r 0.49, p = 0.03). We conclude that the presence of pathogens in the lower airways correlated with levels of inflammation, respiratory system compliance, and degree of air trapping. 相似文献

Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) may involve any organ, including the parotid salivary gland. While the definition
of salivary gland neoplasms with clear cell transformation can be concluded by the synchronous presence of areas showing typical
morphology, sometimes the definition of a metastatic RCC in the parotid is difficult and the application of immunohistochemistry
may support the clinical and radiographic observations in the final diagnosis. The aim of this paper was to describe the heterogeneous
immunohistochemical features and, furthermore, to characterize the pattern of expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)
E-cadherin, β4-integrin, desmoglein-2, ICAM-1 and CD44s (HCAM) in two cases of metastatic parotid RCC. 相似文献
