Background
The objective of this study was to evaluate angiogenesis according to CD34 antigen expression in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and negative breast carcinomas.Methods
This study comprised 64 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma in postmenopausal women divided into two groups: Group A: ER-positive, n = 35; and Group B: ER-negative, n = 29. The anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody was used as a marker for endothelial cells. Microvessel count was carried out in 10 fields per slide using a 40× objective lens (magnification 400×). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using Student's t-test (p < 0.05).Results
The mean number of vessels stained with the anti-CD34 antibody in the estrogen receptor-positive and negative tumors was 23.51 ± 1.15 and 40.24 ± 0.42, respectively. The number of microvessels was significantly greater in the estrogen receptor-negative tumors (p < 0.001).Conclusion
ER-negative tumors have significantly greater CD34 antigen expression compared to ER-positive tumors.12.

Background
Molecular genetic studies on rare tumour entities, such as bone tumours, often require the use of decalcified, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (dFFPE) samples. Regardless of which decalcification procedure is used, this introduces a vast breakdown of DNA that precludes the possibility of further molecular genetic testing. We set out to establish a robust protocol that would overcome these intrinsic hurdles for bone tumour research.Findings
The goal of our study was to establish a protocol, using a modified DNA isolation procedure and quality controls, to select decalcified samples suitable for array-CGH testing. Archival paraffin blocks were obtained from 9 different pathology departments throughout Europe, using different fixation, embedding and decalcification procedures, in order to preclude a bias for certain lab protocols. Isolated DNA samples were subjected to direct chemical labelling and enzymatic labelling systems and were hybridised on a high resolution oligonucleotide chip containing 44,000 reporter elements. Genomic alterations (gains and losses) were readily detected in most of the samples analysed. For example, both homozygous deletions of 0.6 Mb and high level of amplifications of 0.7 Mb were identified.Conclusions
We established a robust protocol for molecular genetic testing of dFFPE derived DNA, irrespective of fixation, decalcification or sample type used. This approach may greatly facilitate further genetic testing on rare tumour entities where archival decalcified, formalin fixed samples are the only source. 相似文献14.

There is an intimate relationship between nutritional intake (eating) and serotonin activity. Experimental manipulations (mainly neuropharmacological) of serotonin influence the pattern of eating behavior, subjective feelings of appetite motivation, and the response to nutritional challenges. Similarly, nutritional manipulations (food restriction, dieting, or altered nutrient supply) change the sensitivity of the serotonin network. Traditionally, serotonin has been linked to the macronutrient carbohydrate via the intermediary step of plasma amino acid ratios. However, it has also been demonstrated that 5-HT drugs will reduce energy intake and reverse body weight gain in rats exposed to weight increasing high fat diets. 5-HT drugs can also reduce food intake and block weight gain of rats on a high fat cafeteria diet. Some diet selection studies in rats indicate that the most prominent reduction of macronutrient intake is for fat. These data indicate that 5-HT activity can bring about a reduction in fat consumption. In turn, different types of dietary fat can alter brain 5-HT activity. In human studies the methodology of food choice experiments has often precluded the detection of an effect of 5-HT manipulation on fat intake. However, there is evidence that in obese and lean subjects some 5-HT drugs can readily reduce the intake of high fat foods. Data also suggest that 5-HT activation can lead to a selective avoidance of fat in the diet. These effects of 5-HT on the intake of dietary fat may involve a pre-absorptive mechanism and there is evidence that 5-HT is linked to cholecystokinin and enterostatin. These proposals have theoretical and practical implications and suggest possible strategies to intensify or advance fat-induced satiety signals. 相似文献

Background
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are enteropathogenic strains identified by the aggregative adhesion (AA) pattern that share the capability to form biofilms. Citrobacter freundii is classically considered as an indigenous intestinal species that is sporadically associated with diarrhea. 相似文献17.

The innate immune repertoire in Cnidaria - ancestral complexity and stochastic gene loss 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0 下载免费PDF全文

Background
Characterization of the innate immune repertoire of extant cnidarians is of both fundamental and applied interest - it not only provides insights into the basic immunological 'tool kit' of the common ancestor of all animals, but is also likely to be important in understanding the global decline of coral reefs that is presently occurring. Recently, whole genome sequences became available for two cnidarians, Hydra magnipapillata and Nematostella vectensis, and large expressed sequence tag (EST) datasets are available for these and for the coral Acropora millepora. 相似文献20.
