犬乳腺肿瘤的病理组织学观察及p63蛋白的表达

通过对35例犬乳腺肿瘤的临床病史调查、光学显微镜观察和免疫组化染色,探讨了犬乳腺肿瘤的临床病理形态学特点、诊断和鉴别诊断.结果显示34例发生在5岁以上,6岁～10岁为发病高峰期;51.4％的病例为恶性肿瘤,其中44.4％的乳腺癌发生转移.免疫组化染色结果显示,在正常乳腺和良性肿瘤组织中,p63蛋白100％表达,并且仅仅...     

Computerized Cytomorphometric Analysis of Nuclear Area,Nuclear Perimeter and Mean Nuclear Diameter in Spontaneous Canine Mammary Gland Tumours

Fifty-two spontaneous canine mammary gland tumours (fibroadenomas (n = 8), tubulopapillary carcinomas (n = 9), solid carcinomas (n = 6), anaplastic carcinomas (n = 7), fibrosarcomas (n = 9), liposarcomas (n = 9) and osteosarcomas (n = 4) were analysed by computer-assisted nuclear morphometry in Hemacolor-stained cytological specimens. Computerized cytomorphometry was performed and the nuclear area, nuclear perimeter and mean nuclear diameter of investigated tumours were assessed. A minimum of 100 nuclei per lesion were examined. The statistical analysis revealed statistically significant differences between benign and malignant neoplasms. The results indicated that computer-assisted nuclear morphometry could be used as an additional method for differentiation of benign from malignant canine mammary gland tumours in cytological specimens.

乌骨鸡和珍珠鸡BF2与β微球蛋白(β2m)基因克隆及品种多态性分析

克隆了乌骨鸡（BF2＊SI）和珍珠鸡（BF2＊NM）群主要组织相容性复合体I（MHC class I）和β微球蛋白（β2m）基因，分析了其分子特征与等位基因多态性。BF2＊SI相互问氨基酸同源率为75．5％～93．9％，保留了人HLA-A2与抗原多肽结合的7个关键性氨基酸。BF2＊NM相互问氨基酸同源率为81．1％～98．5％，保留了人HLA-A2与抗原多肽结合的6个关键性氨基酸。BF2＊SI在α1和α2区（抗原多肽结合区，PBD）有24个高置换率位点，置换率最高的为69位和9位。BF2＊NM在PBD区共有6个高置换率位点。BF2＊SI PBD发生氨基酸置换的位点数大于来航鸡BF2，BF2＊NM PBD区氨基酸置换的位点数和置换率则远远小于来航鸡BF2。根据同源率，将BF2＊SI α1区分为4类，α2区分为3类，α3区分为3类，并由此聚类为5个系谱（A-E）。将BF2＊NM α1区分为3类，α2区分为3类，α3区分为1类，并由此聚类为3个系谱（A～C）。比较发现BF2＊03SI、BF2＊04SI和BF2＊05NM的α1区与抗马立克氏病的BF2＊2I同源率最高（分别为86．4％、86．4％和87．5％）；BF2＊05SI和BF2＊05NM的α2区与BF2＊2I同源率最高（均为93．4％）。另外，根据成熟肽区的氨基酸序列可将乌骨、珍珠鸡β2m分为两类，第一类和来航鸡β2m（M84767）氨基酸序列完全相同，第二类与第一类相比，氨基酸序列相互间同源率为85．7％。结果揭示了各类鸡的MHCI和β2m基因具有品种分子特征。     

Alteration of somatostatin receptor 2 expression in canine mammary gland tumor

Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is a negative regulator of cell proliferation in human breast cancer. Since there is little information about SSTR2 in canine mammary gland tumor (MGT), we clarified its distribution and expression level in normal mammary gland, benign MGT and malignant MGT. SSTR2 expression determined by immunohistochemical staining was observed in the cytoplasm of luminal epithelial cells. The intensity was negatively correlated with malignancy: normal tissues and some of the benign tumors had the highest levels, while the malignant tumors had little or no SSTR2 expression. As for the Western blotting, SSTR2 protein level in benign tumors was significantly lower than the normal mammary gland. On the other hand, SSTR2 protein levels in two of three malignant tumors were higher than the other groups. These results suggest that SSTR2 expression alters according to the malignancy of canine MGT.
