چکیده مقاله:

Background & objective: The current study aimed to perform an immunohistochemical analysis of patterns of apoptotic and cell proliferative related protein expression in different histological grades and immune phenotypes of malignant lymphomas and other lymphoproliferative disorders Methods:This observational study was carried on 60lymph node biopsies of lymphoproliferative disorders. The biopsies were analyzed histologically and immunohistochemically. Results:A total of 60 lymph node biopsies were included in the study, of which 81.6% were of malignant lympho-proliferative lesions. The majority of the biopsies were B-cell (66%) and were grouped in the intermediate grade. Bax and BCL-2 protein expression was presented by percentage of immune positive neoplastic cells per 10fields and graded on a scale of 1 to4. A Bcl-2, Bax Protein Ratio (BBPR) was determined for each case by dividing the estimated Bcl-2 protein (percentage of Bcl-2 positive cells x Bcl-2 staining intensity) by the estimated Bax protein (percentage of Bax positive cells x Bax immunostaining intensity). The mean BBPR was found to be significantly higher in indolent lymphomas (2.64 ± 1.3) as compared to aggressive lymphomas (0.47 ± 0.9) (P<0.01). The expression of P53 and PCNA in 35 biopsies of Non Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) was found to increase from low to high grade tumors. Conclusions: A significant correlation was found between BBPR and predicted biological behavior of indolent and aggressive lymphomas. This indicates the important role of Bcl-2 and Bax in biological behavior of lymphomas. Furthermore, P53 and PCNA expression were found to increase from low to high-grade tumors suggesting their prognostic value in NHL.

Influence of pleural macrophages on proliferative activity and apoptosis regulating proteins of malignant cells.

Malignant tumors contain numerous macrophages as a major component of the leukocytic infiltrate. Only few studies have evaluated the interaction between products secreted by macrophages and tumor cells. Our objective was to study soluble factors produced by pleural macrophages. We sampled pleural effusions from patients with cancer and used human tumor cell lines as targets. Pleural macrophages...

Apoptosis in proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

PURPOSE To study the involvement of apoptosis using different apoptosis markers in PVR pathogenesis. METHODS The presence of mRNA coding for Fas, Fas ligand (FasL), and TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) was investigated in vitreous samples from 46 consecutive patients-25 with PVR, 11 with retinal detachment (RD) not complicated by PVR, and 10 with macular hole (MH)-using RT-PCR. F...

Proliferative Disorders in Bivalve Mollusks

A collection of proliferative disorders in mollusks has been assembled over a period of years through pathologic studies of epizootic neoplastic disease (Christensen. Farley. and Kern. 1974; Farley. 1969b; Farley and Sparks. 1970) and routine histologic studies from many locations (Farley. 1968. 1969b; Farley and Sparks. 1970). Diagnosis and characterization of the neoplastic diseases in mollus...

Plasminogen in proliferative vitreoretinal disorders.

OBJECTIVE Intravitreal fibrin formation is a frequent observation after vitrectomy performed for a variety of vitreoretinal disorders including proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and endophthalmitis. Plasminogen activators (PA) have been used for the management of this postoperative complication. This approach requires the presence of plasminogen, t...
