Résumé
Purpose To study the clinicopathologic features, immunophenotype and differential diagnosis of solid papillary carcinoma (SPC) of breast.Methods 73 cases of breast SPC with or without invasive carcinoma were collected, and the clinical data and histopathologic features were analyzed with further investigation of transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemical staining (EnVision method). Selected antibodies included cytokeratin (CK), myoepithelial markers, neuroendocrine markers, proliferation marker Ki-67 and ER,PR,c-erbB-2,etc.Results All the patients were females with mean age of 64.7 years.The presenting symptoms were either a palpable breast mass or nipple discharge.Metastasis was observed in 43 cases who had undergone axillary lymph node dissection. Histologically, the tumor displayed a solid-papillary growth pattern, with mucin production demonstrated in 25 cases. Intraductal papilloma was not uncommon at the peripheral area of the tumor. The tumor cells were polygonal, oval, spindled or signet ring-like and contained abundant eosinophilic to granular cytoplasm and mildly to moderately pleomorphic nuclei. More than 5 mitotic figures/10 HPF were observed in 51 cases. 43 cases contained foci of invasive carcinoma which showed similar cytologic features as those of in-situ component. Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells were negative for basal cell cytokeratin; positivity for smooth muscle actin-alpha and p63 were demonstrated in the myoepithelial layers of fibrovascular cores, as well as around the expanded ductolobular units.Most cases also showed cytoplasmic positivity for chromogranin A (89.0%), synaptophysin (86.3%) and neuron-specific enolase (95.9%).The proliferatiing index, as highlighted by Ki-67 imnunostaining, was 9.2%.The tumor mainly expressed estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor. The staining for c-erbB-2 oncoprotein was negative in the most cases. Neuroendocrine granules were seen under transmission electron microscope in the cytoplasm.Conclusions SPC represents a subgroup of low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ.SPC predilection in older women is associated with mucinous and neuroendocrine components. Follow-up data suggest that SPC has a good prognosis.

Objective:To study the anti proliferation and inducing apoptosis effects of cytokine induced killer cells CIK cells on MGC 803 gastric cancer cell lines and to probe its underlying mechanism.Methods:To detect the anti proliferation and the cytotoxicity of CIK cells on MGC 803 gastric cancer line by MTT assay.The morphological changes of the apoptosis cell were observed by HE stain, scanning and transmission electron microscope. The positive expression of p53, p16,C myc were determined by immunocytochemistry (ICC).Results:MTT assay showed that the inhibitive rate inhanced obviously with the addition of Effect/Target rate and extension of time ( P
Résumé
AIM: To detect the signal pathway of apoptosis induced by 4-hydroxyphenyl-retinamide(4-HPR) and the biological effect of parthenolide-induced apoptosis.METHODS: TUNEL staining,FCM analysis,electrophoretic mobile shift assay(EMSA) were used to determine the actual effects and its mechanism of parthenolide on the 4-HPR-induced apoptosis in human hepatoma Hep-3B and SK-Hep-1 cells.RESULTS: The results of TUNEL and PI staining showed that parthenolide selectively enhanced 4-HPR-induced apoptosis in Hep-3B and SK-Hep-1 cells.Subsequent observations using EMSA assay indicated that parthenolide effectively inhibited NF-?B activation during fenretinide-induced apoptosis.CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that parthenolide suppresses 4-HPR-induced apoptosis via inhibition of NF-?B activation and that NF-?B activation during fenretinide-induced apoptosis might have an anti-apoptotic effect.

AIM:To investigate the apoptotic pathway of MCF-7 breast cancer induced by the grub extract in vitro.METHODS:MTT assay was used to determine the effect of the grub extract on proliferation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line and cell toxicity.Morphological changes of the apoptosis in cancer cells were observed by HE staining through invert microscope,light microscope,AO/EB double fluorescent staining under fluorescent microscope.FCM was used to assay the change of apoptotic rate.The expression of Bcl-2,Fas,caspase-9,caspase-3 in apoptotic pathway was detected with immunocytochemical method before and after exposure to the grub extract,and the effect of that on apoptotic pathway was explored.RESULTS:(1)The MTT test showed that the growth of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line was significantly inhibited by the grub extract in dose and time dependent manners.The inhibitory rate in exposure group was significantly different from that in control group(P
