چکیده
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, Hong Kong Pap smear screening is a multi-step process that involves recruitment of patients, taking smear, making and reading slides and issuing reports to alert clinicians to take appropriate action. In the last decade, innovative technologies including liquid base cytology, automated screening and human papilloma virus (HPV) tests have revolutionarised Pap smear screening. As a quality assurance measure to improve Pap smear reports, Bethesda system (BTS) was developed in 1988 to replace Papanicolaou numeric classes.1 BTS 1988 is structured and descriptive and is well received in many parts of the world including Hong Kong. Minor modifications were made in 1991 (BTS 1991)2 to improve the system whilst a major revision was made in 2001 to reflect the current understanding of cervical cytology and use of new technologies in Pap smear screening.3 This paper will discuss the changes that have been made to BTS 2001 to facilitate interpretation of reports and providing appropriate management.

同階段的癌症當中的角色。 MMP-3在上皮性卵巢癌鮮少有相關研究,角色不明。本研究探討MMP-3在人類 卵巢癌 SKOV-3細胞株的表現,以及對於 SKOV-3細胞侵襲與增殖的影響。 本實驗結果顯示,單獨培養時,卵巢癌 SKOV-3 細胞少量地表現MMP-3,但是 其MMP-3無法被明確偵測到有釋放到培養皿上清液當中。單獨培養時,纖維母 細胞WS-1本身則可測得有釋放少量的MMP-3。在兩種細胞共同培養時,卵巢 癌 SKOV-3 細胞可以促進周圍的纖維母細胞WS-1釋放出更大量的MMP-3。活 化狀態的MMP-3存在於細胞外,且其數量與釋放到細胞外的總MMP-3濃度大 致有正相關的趨勢。在裸鼠腫瘤模式當中,較晚期的腫瘤,其細胞核的MMP-3 染色程度較顯著,但是其細胞核外則較無MMP-3之呈色。纖維母細胞WS-1和 卵巢癌 SKOV-3 細胞共同培養,會增加 SKOV-3 細胞的侵襲...
