RESUMO
The c-erbB-2 oncogene encodes a 185,00 dalton transmembrane glycoportein with tyrosine kinase activity, and the aberrant overexpression of which has been implicated in the indution of a malignat phenotype. Overexpression of the c-erbB-2 has been found in many human adenocarcinomas, especially mammarian and ovarian carcinomas, and that is associated with poor prognosis. We used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) to explore the relationship between c-erbB-2 oncoprotein and prognostic factors of endmetrial cancer and analyzed the tissued form the 24patients with endometiral cancer and 10 control cases. patinens with endometrial cancer were found to bave 20% of c-erbB-2 oncoprotein overexpression rate and signficiantly higher c-erbB-2 median oncoprotein expression than conterolC-erbB-2 oncoprotein overexpression showed no statistically significant association with known prognostic factors including stage, grade, histologic cell type, myometrial invasion and lymph node metastases, although the c-erbB-2 oncoprotein overexpression rate was increased by stage, and was higher in lymph node metastatic group than in confined to the uterus goup. High c-erbB-2 oncoprotein overexpression was correlated with absence of estrogen receptor (Rs=-0.46, p=0.047) and progestreone receptor (Rs=-0.57, p=0.045), further studies are needed to determine the significance of the c-erbB-2 everexpression in endometrial cancer.

Among many underlying conditions associated with status epilepticus, thyroid storm is quite rare. If unrecognized, thyroid storm is highly fatal. We report 56 year-old woman with history of uncontrolled Graves' disease, who initially presented with recurrent generalized seizures and followed by altered consciousness, sweating, generalized rigidity, fever and hemiplegia due to cerebral infarct. She slowly recovered after anti-convulsant medication, and anti-thyroid treatment and supportive care. There was no in need of continuous anticonvulsant medication except scute phase.
