چکیده

prior walks, then one would expect less of a difference between the fast and far walks when the far test was performed fi rst. To further test this hypothesis, we revisited the order sequence of the far and the fast walks and identifi ed those who performed the fast test fi rst (n 5 8) or the far test fi rst (n 5 6) and then evaluated the difference between the fast and the far walks for the individual subjects ( Table 2 ). Although the numbers are small, outperformance with the fast instruction appears to be consistent regardless of the order of the tests. Therefore, based on this subgroup analysis, we feel that 15 min of rest is suffi cient. We thank Dr Vanjare and colleagues for their interest in our article and for fostering this discussion, which has enabled us to provide further insight into the performance of this conceptually simple, yet remarkably controversial, test.

CAM5.2 is not identical to cytokeratins 8 and 18.

To the Editor In an article entitled “Prognostic Significance of CXCL12 Expression in Patients With Colorectal Carcinoma,”1 we found that the authors may have inadvertently annotated CAM5.2 as cytokeratins (CKs) 8 and 18 by using a pair of square brackets to reference some reports, which might suggest that CAM5.2 is identical to CK8 and CK18. Becton Dickinson (BD) Biosciences revised the data s...

Comparative cytokeratin expression in the different cell types of salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor, composed of several different cell types, with controversial histogenesis. The aim of this study was to assess the expression of cytokeratins in mucoepidermoid carcinoma, comparing to cytokeratin expression in normal salivary glands, in order to establish a possible correlation between tumor cells immunostaining and muc...

تعیین ارتباط بروز سیتوکراتین 20 و سیتوکراتین 7 با عوامل تعیین‌کننده پیش‌آگهی در آدنوکارسینوم معده

Background and Objective: One important step in the management of gastric cancer is determination of its prognosis. Cytokeratins are intermediate filaments that mainly exist in cytoskeletal component of epithelial cells. Recent researches have focused on the relationship between the expression of different cytokeratins with differentiation and outcomes of tumors. This study was done for determ...

Cytokeratin expression in adrenal phaeochromocytomas and extra-adrenal paragangliomas.

AIM To examine whether adrenal phaeochromocytomas and extra-adrenal paragangliomas are immunoreactive for commercially available and routinely used cytokeratin antibodies. METHODS 18 extra-adrenal paragangliomas and seven adrenal phaeochromocytomas were stained with CAM 5.2, AE1/3, and 34 beta E12 following microwave antigen retrieval of formalin fixed tissue. RESULTS A single case from the...
