BACKGROUND We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of p53, MAPK, topoisomerase II alpha (topoII alpha) and Ki67 in ovarian serous carcinomas (OSCs) along with mutational analysis for KRAS and BRAF. METHODS Eighty one cases of OSCs were reviewed and examined immunohistochemically using antibodies against p53, MAPK, topoII alpha and Ki67. Staining was evaluated as a percentage of imm...

AIMS Regulation of cell cycle progression is a fundamental control process, linked to cellular differentiation and apoptosis in normal tissues. p21(WAF1) is a nuclear protein that regulates cell cycle progression. p21(WAF1) can be transcriptionally upregulated by p53, but may be activated independently of p53-for example, during terminal differentiation. Loss of topological control of p21(WAF1)...

background :cell proliferation is one of the most critical factors in metastasis and prognosis of the malignant tumors.recent investigations show that the eosinophil granolosytes have an important role in developing of malignant tumors. the relation between cell proliferation and eosinophilic infiltration in oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscs) with prognosis is unclear.the aim of this study was...

Background Apatinib has shown outstanding value in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, no biomarkers are available to select AGC patients who will benefit from apatinib. The aim present study was investigate association between p53 and Ki67 expression outcome treated with Methods From December 2015 2020, 92 were enrolled retrospectively evaluated. They given apatinib at a d...

BACKGROUND Gliomas are grouped into grades 1 to 4 on the basis of morphologic criteria. Grade is the most significant prognostic factor determining survival, but various proliferation markers are being increasingly employed by histopathologists as adjuncts to conventional morphologic variables to determine prognostic behavior of brain tumors. The most widely used and useful of these are MIB1 (K...

PURPOSE To investigate the association between Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values and cell cycle and proliferative biomarkers (p53, p21, Ki67,) in order to establish its potential role as a noninvasive biomarker for prediction of cell cycle, proliferative activity and biological aggressiveness in bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with bladder cancer who underwent 3,0 Tes...

UNLABELLED Recently, the roles of SIRT1 and deleted in breast cancer 1 (DBC1) in human cancer have been extensively studied and it has been demonstrated that they are involved in many human carcinomas. However, their clinical significance for soft-tissue sarcomas has not been examined. In this study, we evaluated the expression and prognostic significance of the expression of SIRT1, DBC1, P53, ...

Metastatic carcinoma of urogenital origin is a common cause of mortality in free-ranging California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). The etiology of this cancer is likely multifactorial, with viral infection, genetic factors, and exposure to environmental organochlorine contaminants possible contributing factors. In this study, expression of estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha), progesterone r...
