RESUMEN
Objective To study the expression of P57kip2 and its clinical significance in hilar bile duct adenocarcinoma.Methods The expressions of P57kip2 in hilar bile duct adenocarcinoma tissues (37 cases) and normal bile duct tissues (32 cases) were determined by immunohistochemical SP methods.The relations between the expression levels of P57kip2 with clinicopathologic parameters were analyzed.Results The positive rate of P57kip2 was 43.2％ (16/37) in bile duct adenocarcinoma,while it was 87.5％ (28/32) in normal duct tissues (P ＜0.01).The expression level of P57kip2 in adenocarcinoma showed no significant association with gender,age or CA19-9 level (P ＞0.05),but they were significantly related with lymph node metastasis,invasion and degree of differentiation (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions P57kip2 is associated with the occurrence and development of hilar bile duct adenocarcinoma.It may play an important role in invasion and metastasis of hilar bile duct adenocarcinoma.The P57 protein can be used as an index to diagnose hilar bile duct adenocarcinoma.
RESUMEN
Objective To discuss the pathological and clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of prostatic duct adenocareinoma. Methods The clinical data of nine cases of prostatic duct adeno-carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed, with the average age of 76 (59-106) years. Six cases were presented with dysuresia and/or nocturia, and two of them had the painless gross hematuria. Two pa-tients presented painless gross hematuria as the first symptom. One case was detected the elevated ser-um PSA in a routine healthy examination. Radical prostatectomy (RP) was performed in 1 case;RP and bilateral orchidectomy and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) were performed in 1 case;5 cases underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) combined with photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) by green laser and bilateral orchidectomy;1 case underwent TURP combined with PVP;1 case underwent bilateral orchidectomy combined with EBRT. Eight cases took flutamide for 3-45 months. All patients were followed-up according to the scheduled time. Results The op-erations were successfully performed in all 9 patients. The papillary or cauliflower-like tumors infiltra-ted colli culus seminalis and prostate duct nearby. The glands were coated with tall pseudostratified columnar cells. The nuclei were large, dark stained with more frequent mitoses. The positive rates of immunolabelling antibody PSA, AR, PAP were found to be 89%(8/9), 100%(5/5), 100%(5/5) re-spectively. The distribution of Gleason score was 6-7(3 cases), and≥8(6 cases), and a coexisting acinar carcinoma component was identified in 5 cases of the group. Nine cases had a mean follow up for 20(3-48) months. Five cases have developed biochemical recurrence, of whom 3 died of bone metas-tasis and multiple organ failure, and 1 developed lung and bone metastasis. Three cases remained alive without recurrence. The remaining 1 case survives during the follow-up survey for 6 months until now, without examinations due to the old age. Conclusions Duct adenocarcinoma of the prostate presents the low incidence and lacks of typical symptoms in the early stage. Diagnosis was confirmed mainly on the basis of pathology. The tumors tend to have a more advanced stage and a very short term survival rate. The treatment options and management are similar to that of high-grade adenocar-cinoma of the prostate;meanwhile, close follow-up survey should be performed.
