چکیده
Our purpose was to examine the immunolocalization of inhibin, activin and the activin signaling system in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma tissue. Tissue samples of ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma were collected from ten women. The patients' ages ranged from 41 to 71 years (mean ± standard deviation; 53.4±9.9). Their surgicopathological staging was based on the criteria of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO); there were 5 patients with stage I, 3 with stage II, and 2 with stage III. We examined the immunohistochemical localization of inhibin/ activin ·-subunit, ßA-subunit, activin A, and activin receptor types IA, IB, IIA, IIB, Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 using an avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique. With the antibodies against the ßA-subunit, and activin A, we observed positive immunoreactive staining in the cytoplasm of clear cell adenocarcinoma, whereas we did not observe any staining for the ·-subunit of inhibin. We observed positive immunoreactive staining in the cell cytoplasm and surface with the antibodies against the activin receptors, types IA, IB, IIA and IIB. We observed positive immunoreactive staining in the cytoplasm and nucleus with the antibodies against the Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4. It is suggested that activin A, not inhibins, might be secreted by ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma, and that an activin signal transduction pathway might exist in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma.

A new parabolic flow in Kähler manifolds
This is a continuation of my earlier work [9], where we study the lower bound of the Mabuchi energy on Kähler manifolds when the first Chern class is negative. The problem of finding a lower bound for the Mabuchi energy is very important in Kähler geometry since the existence of a lower bound is the pre-condition for the existence of constant scalar curvature metric in a Kähler class (cf. [2] a...
متن کاملOn Modified Mabuchi Functional and Mabuchi Moduli Space of Kähler Metrics on Toric Bundles
Mabuchi introduced the Mabuchi functional in [Mb1], and it turns out that it is very useful for dealing with Kähler metrics with constant scalar curvatures on compact manifolds (see [BM], etc.). One can also expect that the existence of Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature is almost equivalent to the existence of a lower bound of the Mabuchi functional (see, e.g., [Ti]). But for the cas...
متن کاملHyperdiscriminant Polytopes, Chow Polytopes, and Mabuchi Energy Asymptotics
Let X ↪→ P be a smooth, linearly normal algebraic variety. It is shown that the Mabuchi energy of (X,ωFS |X) restricted to the Bergman metrics is completely determined by the X-hyperdiscriminant of format (n− 1) and the Chow form of X . As a corollary it is shown that the Mabuchi energy is bounded from below for all degenerations in G if and only if the hyperdiscriminant polytope dominates the ...

متن کاملThe Space of Kähler metrics
Donaldson conjectured[14] that the space of Kähler metrics is geodesic convex by smooth geodesic and that it is a metric space. Following Donaldson’s program, we verify the second part of Donaldson’s conjecture completely and verify his first part partially. We also prove that the constant scalar curvature metric is unique in each Kähler class if the first Chern class is either strictly negativ...
