The vast majority of invasive breast tumors are ductal and lobular breast carcinomas. Despite the many similarities, some clinical follow-up data and the patterns of metastases suggest that these histological subtypes of breast cancer are biologically distinct. Few papers, however, describe immunohistochemical markers useful for differentiation of these carcinomas. Many investigations suggest t...

BACKGROUND To investigate whether expression of carbonic anhydrase XII (CA12) is associated with histologic grade of the tumors and radiotherapy outcomes of the patients with invasive cervical cancer. METHODS CA12 expression was examined by immunohistochemical stains in cervical cancer tissues from 183 radiotherapy patients. Histological grading was classified as well (WD), moderately (MD) or...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We detected the expression of MIF and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in meningiomas to determine whether they are valuable recurrence predictor for meningioma. METHODS 67 cases of meningiomas, including 57 benign tumors (WHO grade I) and 10 non-benign tumors (WHO grade II and III), were collected, and expression of MIF and MMP9 in tissue microarray was evaluated im...

The aim of this article is to investigate the expression of E-cadherin (E-cad) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) of Han and Uygur women patients in western China, and their relationship with clinical features of TNBC.Totally, 172 cases of Han TNBC patients and 79 cases of Uighur TNBC patients were enrolled. The expressions of E-cad and VEGF we...

The distribution and quantitative expression of HBcAg in relation to serum HBeAg and liver histology before and after a trial of interferon in 50 patients with chronic type B hepatitis were evaluated using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. In general, both antisera showed a similar pattern in terms of the distribution of HBcAg, with predominant localisation of HBcAg in the cytoplasm in HBeA...

conclusions core-lds interaction may be an underlying molecular mechanism to induce liver steatosis in patients with hcv infection. this interaction is also crucial for efficient viral replication and persistence in infected cells. steatosis can also interfere with efficient standard interferon therapy treatment. management of steatosis should be considered along with standard care for achievin...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect ethanol extract neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves on number spermatids and androgen receptor expression in testicular tissue New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. Twelve adults male NZW rabbits with body weight (BW) 2-2.5 kg were divided into three treatment groups (n = 4), namely P1 (control group) given 0 mg/kg BW, P2 P3 200 BW 300 respectivel...
