The prognostic role of proliferation activity in human CNS tumours: the determination of AgNOR, PCNA and Ki-67 expression. Part 1: AgNOR expression in CNS tumours.

چکیده
The aim of the study was an evaluation of the proliferation activity of Central Nervous System tumours by using silver colloid staining of nucleolar organiser regions (AgNORs) and comparing the results with the proliferation activity estimated by using PCNA and Ki-67 antibodies to clarify the clinicopathological significance of this method. The first part of the study describes the results of AgNOR expression and its correlation with the histological type and grading of the tumours. The study group comprised samples from 204 cases of CNS tumours and 10 cases of post-traumatic neuroma. The analysis of staining results with the use of a computerised image analysis system revealed significant differences between the expression of AgNOR in CNS tumours of different grades. A spectrum of gradually increasing AgNOR expression from benign to low and high grade tumours indicates that the AgNOR staining method can be a useful supplement to the histopathological diagnostics of CNS tumours.

The authors retrospectively reviewed the cytological slides of 44 histopathologically confirmed fibroepithelial lesions of the breast, of which 11 were fibroadenoma (FA), 19 benign phyllodes tumours (PTLGM), 8 borderline (PTBM) and 6 malignant (PTHGM). The 2 FA misdiagnosed as PTLGM in cytological smears were both of cellular type. NORS were quantified in a series of the above cases using the s...

In the present study, nuclear proliferative proteins: MCM2, MCM5, MCM7, Ki-67 and AgNORs expression was assessed in paraffin sections from sporadic desmoid tumours using a tissue microarray (TMA)-based immuno- and histochemistry, respectively. Nuclear expression of MCM7, where the percentage of positive cells was 0.87% (± 1.64) (range 0-5%), was found in 4/20 (20.0%) cases. In 32/32 (100%) of t...
متن کاملA comparative study of PCNA and Ki-67 expression in dental follicle, dentigerous cyst, unicystic ameloblastoma and ameloblastoma
Various cell proliferation markers are used as diagnostic and prognostic tools in oral lesions. Simultaneous evaluation of these markers can increase the precision of estimation of the proliferative status of different tissues. In this study we investigated the expression of PCNA and Ki-67 as markers of cell proliferation in 15 paraffin embedded samples of each dental follicle, dentigerous cy...
متن کاملEvaluation of the prognostic value of CD117 and CK20 biomarkers in urinary bladder carcinoma
Background: Over-expression of CD117 and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) is seen in many malignancies. Given that few studies have been conducted regarding the role of these biomarkers in the etiology of bladder tumours, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of CD117 and CK 20 biomarkers in the benign and malignant tumours of urinary bladder carcinoma. Methods: This case-control study was co...

One of the most important questions in clinical routine is to find out patients with good or worse prognosis to apply an optimal therapy scheme for each patient. In this study 58 patients with different neuroendocrine tumours of the lung were investigated. Histological sections were prepared with different stainings (MIB-1, AgNOR, Feulgen). By means of high resolution image cytometry stereologi...
