Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue from 100 consecutive cases of breast carcinoma were studied for binding with Helix pomatia (HPA) and Ulex Europeus (UEA1) lectins. Serial sections were pretreated with trypsin or neuraminidase to determine the effect of these enzymes on lectin binding. The
In this study, lectin binding was compared with pathological prognostic factors and clinical follow-up details. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 43 cases of breast carcinoma were studied for binding with Ulex Europeus Agglutinin (UEA-I) lectin. Staining results were compared with tumor
The milk fat globule membrane antibodies HMFG1, HMFG2, NCRC 11 and four of the Mam 6 series, and the lectins peanut agglutinin, wheat germ agglutinin, Concanavalin A, Lotus tetragonolobus and Ulex europaeus I have been applied to 115 stage I and II breast carcinomas (median follow up = 36 months) to
Cell surface glycoconjugates play an important role in differentiation/dedifferentiation processes and lectins are employed to evaluate them by several methodologies. Fluorescent probes are considered a valuable tool because of their ability to provide a particular view, and are more detailed and
BACKGROUND
To investigate the correlation among some of the commonly used clinical, pathological factors and newer biological indicators, and to identify the independent predictors of distant metastasis at presentation in patients with breast cancer.
METHODS
The pathological specimens from 73
OBJECTIVE
To study the accumulation of (99m)Tc-MIBI in breast cancer or benign lesions and the correlation between cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
METHODS
(99m)Tc-MIBI positive imaging was performed on 38 patients with palpable breast mass. A ratio of radioactivity value of mass to normal
BACKGROUND
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive therapy that makes entire coagulative necrosis of a tumor in deep tissue through the intact skin. There are many reports about the HIFU's efficacy in the treatment of patients with breast cancer, but randomized clinical trials are
Core fucosylation of N-glycans on the integrin β1 subunit is essential for the functional activity of the integrin. The binding of α5β1 integrin with the tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif within the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin may be influenced by the α-1,6-fucose core or
Breast carcinoma is one of the most common neoplasia and the first cause of women cancer related deaths worldwide. In the past few years with diagnostic increment, the number of patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) increased considerably and opened up new ways in research and new
One case of the so-called "Stewart-Treves syndrome" (STS), appearing on a lymphoedematous arm complicating radical mastectomy for breast cancer, was characterized electronmicroscopically and immunohistologically, in order to elucidate its disputed (epithelial vs endothelial) histogenesis. Epithelial
Between 1978 and 1986 we treated 318 consecutive patients with stage I breast cancer. Median follow-up time is 8.5 years. In all cases the invasion of peritumoral lymphatic (LVI) and blood vessels (BVI) was studied by the hematoxylin-eosin staining method. Different ten-year survival (86% vs 67%)
Membranes were prepared from 31 breast-cancer specimens and adjacent mammary tissues, dot-blotted to nitrocellulose paper, and reacted with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) (A, B, Lewis a, Lewis b, sialylated Lewis a, Lewis x, and Lewis y) and lectins (Ulex europaeus, peanut agglutinin) having various
An in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) model is critical for enabling rapid screening of the BBB permeability of the drugs targeting on the central nervous system. Though many models have been developed, their reproducibility and renewability remain a challenge. Furthermore, drug transport data from
