Article Abstract

Objective: To study the expression of E-cadherin and CD34 in the tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), to discuss the relationship between them and the clinical pathology and evaluate the prognosis of HCC patients.

Methods: The expression of E-cadherin and CD34 in HCC tissues of 41 patients were examined by two-step methods of PV-6000 of immunohistochemistry. Clinical-pathological data, tumor recurrent rate and survival rate after hepatectomy were recorded and analyzed.

Results: The positive expression rate was observed in 48.78% for E-cadherin and 100% for CD34. The decreased E-cadherin expression were significantly associated with larger tumor, the high-dangerous group with invasion and poor differentiation of HCC tissues (chi(2) = 4.1881, 4.8118, 6.2695, P < 0.05). In the group with negative-expression of E-cadherin, the percent of tumor recurrence within 2 years after hepatectomy was higher and the rate of 5 years survival was significantly lower than the positive-expressed group. A significant negative-correlation between the expression of CD34 and the patients' age and the invasion of tumor (t = 1.9371, 1.9010, P < 0.05) were found. There was no relationship between the expression of E-cadherin and CD34 in HCC tissues.

Conclusions: The patient with a negative-expression of E-cadherin in HCC tissues has a poor prognosis. No relationship between the expression of CD34 and tumor recurrence and patients' survival and no relationship between the expression of E-cadherin and CD34 was found.

Idiopathic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive disease characterized by interstitial fibrosis, with poor prognosis and high mortality. TRIM34 is involved in the intracellular ubiquitination process, but its mechanism of action in IPF is currently unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of TRIM34 on the IPF process and its mechanism.

Introduction: Breast cancer comprises diverse histological and molecular subtypes, each characterized by distinct biological behaviors and therapeutic responses. So, to unravel the biological complexity of cancer tissue, we must research it down to the heterogeneous cell level, where one can investigate and deconstruct the molecular and biochemical characteristics of various cell types (Fibroblast, Endothelial Cells, and Cancer Stem cells). Unfortunately, advancements have been hindered due to the absence of thorough methods for identifying, isolating, and cultivating all patient-derived organoids (PDOs) types from various tissues.

Chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD involve interactions between multiple resident and immune cell types within bronchial airways, resulting in structural and functional changes. Thus cellular heterogeneity, arrangements and associated neighborhoods as well as interactions between cells and matrices represent intriguing yet challenging areas of study. Spatial phenotypic profiling facilitates exploration of these issues of the cellular microenvironment and identification of context-dependent cell-cell interactions.
