RESUMEN
@#Objective To determine the levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) in glioma tumor tissue and their clinical significance. Methods The levels of IGFBP-2 in glioma samples from 45 patients were detected with immunohistochemistry. Their correlation with tumor grade, p53 and Ki67 expression levels and the outcome of patients were tested. Results IGFBP-2 increased in glioma tissue in a grade-dependent manner, and significantly correlated with p53 and Ki67 expression. High IGFBP-2 level is significantly associated with earlier tumor recurrence and shorter overall survival. Conclusion Tumor IGFBP-2 levels can supply more prognostic information to the tumor grading system.
RESUMEN
Objective: To detect P53 and Ki-67 protein,human papill om a virus (HPV),cytomegalovirus(CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)in the warts of o ral mucosa from HIV-positive patients.Methods: The expression P53 and Ki-67 protein,HPV,EBV and CMV were detected by immunohistochemistry and PCR in 34 cases of oral mucosa warts from HIV-positve patients,33 cases of oral epithelia dysplasia and 45 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Results:(1)The expression of P53 and Ki-67 protein in the cases of oral mucosa warts from HIV-positive patients were 23%and 76% re spectively,lower than those in oral suquamous cell carcinoma lesions from non- HIV individuals(62.8% and 97.8% respectively,P0.05).(2)The HPV infection in the warts of oral mucosa from HIV -positive patients was 88.2%,much higher than in oral suquamous cell carcinoma lesions (35.6%) and in dysplastic lesions (9.1%) from non-HIV individuals(P
