ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the differences in endoscopic and pathological features between colorectal serrated adenoma (SA) and colorectal traditional adenoma.Methods The endoscopic and pathological features of 80 cases of SA and 160 cases of traditional adenoma diagnosed from June 2008 to October 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The SA patients were younger than the traditional adenoma patients (57.5 VS 62.3,P =0.003 8).The lesions of SA were mostly located in rectosigmoid colon (60％),while the traditional adenoma could be found in rectosigmoid colon (45％),ascending colon (20％) and descending colon (19％).There were significant differences in the lesion's location between two kinds of adenoma (P ＜ 0.05).There were no differences in gender,the size of lesion or endoscopic classification.In terms of the pathological features,SA had the serrated structure,whereas tubular,tubulovillous and villous structure were found in traditional adenoma.Cancer could be found in 1.9％ of SA,which was lower than that of traditional adenoma (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Serrated adenoma is different from traditional adenoma on the patient's age,lesion's location and pathological features.It is an unique kind of adenoma with potential malignancy,which should be emphasized in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Colorectal serrated adenoma (SA) was ofifcially named in 2000 by the WHO as a separate disease, with unique properties compared with traditional adenoma (TA), and its relationship with colorectal cancer (CRC) is very concerned. This study was to analyze and compare the telomerase, p53 and Ki-67 immunohistochemical expression on the tissues of SA, TA and CRC. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was adopted to analyze the expression of telomerase, p53, and Ki-67 in 37 cases of SA, 36 cases of TA and 34 cases of CRC. Results:The p53-positive percentage of SA was signiifcantly lower than that of TA (P<0.01), and the p53-positive percentage of TA was signiifcantly lower than that of CRC (P<0.01). No signiifcant difference of Ki-67 expression was found between SA and TA, and the Ki-67-positive percentage of SA and TA was lower than that of CRC (P<0.01). The telomerase-positive percentage of TA was signiifcantly lower than that of SA (P<0.01), and the telomerase-positive percentage of SA was signiifcantly lower than that of CRC (P<0.05). Conclusion:Telomerase, P53, and Ki-67 immunohisto chemical analysis indicated that SA is a kind of proliferative adenoma, and telomerase activation may play a role in the cancer process.
