Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the role of prostate basal cell staining in diagnosing Gleason score 6 prostate cancer. Materials & Methods: During research period, we collected 20 medical records and paraffin block specimens of Gleason score 6 prostatic adenocarcinoma patients. Specimens were taken from prostate needle biopsy. Demographic data and PSA level were extracted from medical records. Basal cells were detected by immunohistochemical staining for antikeratin 34β-E12 on paraffin block specimens analyzed by an experienced pathologist. Positive results suggest a benign lesion. Results: Mean age is 70 ± 6,5 years. Mean prostate volume and PSA level was 52±17cc and 25±21 ng/ml. Three specimens (15%) showed presence of basal cells on antikeratin 34β-E12 staining, which indicated benign lesions. Leucocyturia was found in all patients of this group. There was a significant association between PSA level and antikeratin 34β-E12 staining (p=0,03). In multivariate analysis, there is no significant association between antikeratin 34β-E12 staining with age, prostate volume, and leucocyturia. Conclusions: 15 % cases of prostatic cancer Gleason score 6 still showed basal cell existence. Immunohistochemical staining of basal cell should be considered in suspicious cases of prostatic cancer.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to detect the differences in number and the distribution of angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1R) in BPH, high grade PIN, and adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Material & method: A prospective study was performed in RSHS, in collaboration with the Department of Anatomical Pathology. Prostate samples were taken by TUR of the prostate, and then divided into 5 groups. They were BPH, high grade PIN, adenocarcinoma of the prostate in 3 difference grades (well, moderate, and poorly differentiated). Kidney tissue for control. Immunohistochemical staining was done to determine the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1R) receptor distribution as primary antibody used was mouse monoclonal antibody AT1 (TONI-1): sc-57036, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., CA. Results: Angiotensin II type-1 receptor was found in material of BPH, high grade PIN and adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The number and distribution of the receptors were not different. Conclusion: There are no significant differences in number and distribution of angiotensin II type-1 receptor on BPH, high grade PIN, and adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of estrogen on wistar’s vaginal epithelium. Material & method: We divided 30 female wistars into three groups, ten wistars underwent bilateral ovariectomy, 10 wistars underwent bilateral ovariectomy, and estrogen replacement and 10 wistars as control. The second group received estradiol 1 mg/kg/day, directly after ovariectomy. After 4 weeks the vagina was then harvested and stained with hematoxylin-eosin to evaluate the thickness of epithelial layer of vagina. A pair T-test was use for statistical analysis. Results: Estrogen ablation decreased the thickness of epithelial layer in wistar’s vagina. The mean thickness of epithelial layer in vagina were 3, 5, and 10 for each group respectively. The mean epithelial layer of the first group as well as the second group showed significant difference compared to control group (p>0,05), while the first group showed insignificant difference compared to the second group. Conclusion: Estrogen ablation seems to decrease the thickness of vaginal epithelium, while estrogen replacement revealed insignificant effect.
