Increasing lymphatic microvessel density in primary pterygia.
OBJECTIVE To examine lymphatic microvessel density (LMVD) in primary pterygia. METHODS We included tissue samples from 88 excised primary (including 34 grade 1, 28 grade 2, and 26 grade 3) pterygia and from 7 nasal epibulbar conjunctivae segments used as control samples. Sections from each pterygium were immunostained with CD31 and lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE-1) m...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Lymphatic Microvessel Density and D2-40 Immunohistochemical Expression in Ovarian Cancer
Introduction: Lymphangiogenesis is the process of new lymphatic vessels formation from preexisting postcapillary venules. Although this process was extensively investigated in a large variety of human tumors, few data are available about the clinical significance of lymphatic vessels in ovarian cancer. The ovarian cancer is often characterized by an unpredictable behavior and there is a lack of...
متن کاملLymphatic microvessel density and the expression of lymphangiogenic factors in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE In this study, the expression of several lymphangiogenic growth factors was investigated to determine the mechanism underlying lymphangiogenesis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS An immunohistochemical study was performed to determine the lymphatic microvessel density (LMVD) and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derive...
متن کاملA meta-analysis of the lymphatic microvessel density and survival in gastric cancer with 1809 cases
Lymph node metastasis commonly occurs in gastric cancer. Previous studies have demonstrated that the overexpression of lymphatic microvessel density (LVD) is correlated with various malignancies. To evaluate the potential role of LVD in various malignancies, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to thoroughly investigate the association of LVD expression with tumor progression and ...
متن کاملComparison of the Blood and Lymphatic Microvessel Density of Pleomorphic Adenoma and Basal Cell Adenoma
BACKGROUND Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common tumor of the salivary gland, while basal cell adenoma (BCA) is an uncommon neoplasm. Blood and lymphatic vessels are crucial for tumor metabolism. The aim of this study was to compare the blood and lymphatic vascular density and vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in PA and BCA tumors. In addition, cell proliferation wa...
