چکیده

Adequate pulmonary development at birth is the major determinant of postnatal outcome in the perinatal period. Lung hypoplasia is a poorly defined condition. The aim of this study was to investigate expression of Ki-67 in human fetuses with pulmonary hypoplasia compared to fetuses without pulmonary pathology and malformations of other organs used as controls. The analysis comprised 149 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue sections from the files of the Clinical Pathology Department of the Research Institute of Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital in Lodz. Tissue sections obtained from lungs during autopsies were divided into two groups. In our studies immunohistochemistry was performed using antibody against Ki-67 as a cell proliferation marker for evaluation of growth fraction in the fetal and neonatal human lungs. The results presented in our study showed higher expression of growth fraction in the control group as compared to study subjects in all stages of lung development. Values of Ki-67 positive cells in the saccular stage of lung development were lower than in the canalicular and alveolar phase in both study and control groups. In conclusion, our results indicate their usefulness to understand better etiology of pulmonary hypoplasia and may be helpful in identifying the most appropriate moment for prenatal interventions.

Immunohistochemical Expression of Survivin and Its Relationship with Cell Apoptosis and Proliferation in Ameloblastomas

UNLABELLED Ameloblastoma behavior is related to the potential of tumor cells to inhibit apoptosis and to initiate a proliferative phase. This study was performed to compare the immunoexpression of Survivin with Bcl-2, Bax, and Ki-67 and to associate them with the histopathological type of each variant of ameloblastoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria fo...

Ki-67 and caspase expression in breast carcinoma: does variance in locational sampling exist?

Ki-67 and caspase indices are two very important prognostic variables for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the immunoexpressions of these two prognostic variables at the center, the periphery of the tumor in comparison with each other, and additional parameters in 53 breast cancer specimens. It has been shown that the increase of caspase immunoexpression either at the periphe...

Immunoexpression of CAS protein is augmented in high grade serous ovarian tumors.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most important causes of death from gynecological malignancies in Poland. Recent investigations took a note of possible relationship between tumor histological grading and immunoexpression of apoptosis and proliferation related proteins in serous ovarian cancers. The aim of the study was to assess the immunoexpression of CAS protein in serous ovarian tumors of diffe...
