Mucin hypersecreting neoplasms.
Mucinous pancreatic neoplasms are uncommon disorders classified as either mucinous cystic neoplasms (mucinous cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma) or the more recently described intraductal mucin hypersecreting neoplasms (IMHN), also termed mucinous ductal ectasia. The mucinous cystic neoplasms share many common features with IMHN's but remain distinct clinico-pathologic entities. These tumors ha...
متن کاملSignificance of MUC1 and MUC2 mucin expression in colorectal cancer.
AIMS To compare the lineage specific distribution of MUC1 and MUC2 mucins in normal colorectal mucosa and adenocarcinoma and to identify pathological correlations. METHODS Paraffin wax sections from 51 colorectal cancers were examined for the expression of MUC1 and MUC2, non-O-acetyl sialic acid and the carbohydrate epitopes Lex, Ley, sialosyl-Lex, sialosyl-Tn, and Tn using standard histochem...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of CD44v5 expression in human thymic epithelial neoplasms.
BACKGROUND Cell surface glycoproteins of the CD44 family play roles in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Their aberrant expression has been implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis of a variety of neoplasms, but not, to date, of thymic epithelial tumors. METHODS To investigate the expression of CD44 molecules, immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal antibodies against human CD4...
متن کاملSignificance of Cross Lineage Antigen Expression in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Aberrant expression of cross-lineage antigens gives valuable insight into the diagnosis and prognosis of acute leukemia. In countries like India, cytogenetic tests are widely accessible. Exploring the prognostic value of an accessible test is of great importance. Therefore, establishing a population-specific immunophenotype database will enable to design an antibody panel equipped t...
متن کاملThe effects of herbal plants on Mucin 2 gene expression and performance in ascetic broilers
The mucus layer plays an important role as an intermediate for the protection of the gut against acidic chyme, digestive enzymes, and pathogens; in addition, it acts as a lubricant and facilitator of nutrient transportation. Phytogenic compounds seem to promote intestinal mucus production. OBJECTIVES: The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of low and high levels of energy an...
