The expression of CD3, CD4, and CD8 were high in synovial tissue of RA group, but low in OA group. The number of CD3, CD4+, and CD8+ lymphocytes in OA group were significantly lower than that in RA group (p < 0.05); CD4+lymphocytes in RA accounted for the majority, and mostly were focally distributed. The number of CD8+lymphocytes in the synovial tissue were small, and were mostly scattered. The number of CD4+lymphocytes were significantly higher than CD8+lymphocytes (p<0.05). Compared with the OA group, the number of CD4+T and CD8+T lymphocytes in RA group were higher, and the ratio of CD4/CD8 was higher in RA group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the CD3, CD4 and CD8 with high level may promote the occurrence and development of RA.

A pathologist analyses immunohistochemical images to detect a colour-based stain, which is brown for positive nuclei with different intensities and blue for negative nuclei. Several issues emerge during the eyeballing tissue slide analysis, such as colour variations caused by stain inhomogeneity, non-uniform illumination, irregular cell shapes, and overlapping cell nuclei. To overcome those problems, an automated computer-aided diagnosis system is proposed to segment and quantify digestive neuroendocrine tumours.Material and methods: We present a novel pre-processing approach based on colour space assessment. A criterion called pertinence degree is introduced to select the appropriate colour channel, followed by contrast enhancement. Subsequently, the adaptive local threshold technique that uses the modified Laplacian filter is applied to minimize the implementation complexity, highlight edges, and emphasize intensity variation between cells across the slide. Finally, the improved watershed algorithm based on the concave vertex graph is applied for cell separation.Results: The performance of the algorithms for nucleus segmentation is evaluated according to both the object-level and pixel-level criteria. Our approach increases segmentation accuracy, with the F1-score equal to 0.986. There is significant agreement between the applied approach and the expert's ground truth segmentation.Conclusions: The proposed method outperformed the state-of-the-art techniques based on recall, precision, the F1-score, and the Dice coefficient.","PeriodicalId":49692,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Pathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40379263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enhancer of zeste homologue 2, Notch3, HES1, and Nanog were detected on OS samples and statistically analysed. Expressions of these genes were investigate, and stem-like phenotype was verified in OS cells. This study found that higher EZH2 expression, Notch3 pathway, or Nanog were associated with tumour relapse and metastasis and a significantly shorter survival time. Moreover, the Notch3 pathway was activated in osteosarcoma stem cells. Enhancer of zeste homologue 2 overexpression could activate the Notch3 pathway and increase HES1 expression, leading to upregulated stem cell-related gene expression and self-renewal of OS cells. Our study demonstrates that EZH2, Notch3, and Nanog are important prognostic factors.

In pediatric clinical autopsy, the feedback provided to bereaved families has a considerable social impact; however, pediatric diseases are diverse, which makes it difficult to elucidate them. Therefore, it is necessary to employ molecular biology techniques in addition to conventional methods. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are routinely prepared. However, clinical autopsy FFPE tissue processing is not standardized, and it is unclear whether DNA from such tissues can be used for comprehensive genomic analysis. In this study, we evaluated the DNA quality of FFPE tissues from 15 recent autopsy cases at a single-center children's hospital using quantitative polymerase chain reaction [PCR (Q129/Q41)] and nanoelectrophoresis (DNA integrity number (DIN)). Good quality DNA was obtained from every organ type excluding bone marrow within 6 days of formalin fixation. Prolonged proteinase K digestion (48 h > 24 h > 1 h) and thicker tissue sections (10 µm > 1 µm) improved Q129/Q41; however, 24 h fixed FFPE tissues showed better DNA quality. We propose an optimal and feasible workflow for storing short-term fixed FFPE tissues as DNA-preserved FFPE tissues for future comprehensive genomic searches.","PeriodicalId":49692,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Pathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10652767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evaluations were conducted by 2 pathologists. Statistical analysis was applied in 80 selected cases diagnosed as benign (n = 37) and papillary carcinoma/suspicious for papillary carcinoma (n = 43).Results: The nuclear findings in the CNB were more subtle than in the resection sections. The nuclei were smaller (measurements of the nuclear areas, major axes, and minor axes in CNB and resection sections were 52.62 µm2, 9.89 µm, 6.75 µm, 129.18 µm2, 14.53 µm, and 10.79 µm, respectively). Hypochromia was detected in 46.5% of the papillary carcinoma cases. Grooves and pseudoinclusions were the other nuclear features that could be detected. However, nuclear contour irregularity was the most reliable finding that could predict papillary carcinoma diagnosis in the CNB sections (v: 0.82, p < 0.001).Conclusions: We believe that the histopathological differences we found have an important place in diagnostics and should be emphasized, and new diagnostic algorithms should be developed.","PeriodicalId":49692,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Pathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9158599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Angiogenesis is a multifaceted process in which angiopoietins parti- cipate. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) through its receptor Tie2 stimulates endothelial cell survival and the maintenance of the endothelial barrier. These phenomena can support tumour growth by promoting angiogenesis. On the other hand, overproduction of Ang-1 triggers endothelium stability and can lead to angiogenesis inhibition. Because of the ambiguous role of Ang-1, we decided to determine its clinical significance in patients with resectable NSCLC. In a group of 47 patients, tumours and the adjacent non-cancerous tissues were assessed for ANG-1 mRNA expression (using Q-RT-PCR analysis) and Ang-1 concentration (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) together with clinical parameters and the five-year survival rate. ANG-1 expression and Ang-1 concentration were higher in tumour-free tissue, showing no differences between histological types of NSCLC, clinical stage or grading and seemed not to determine the five-year survival. ANG-1 expression and Ang-1 concentration in tumour and tumour-free tissues in patients with NSCLC seem not to be useful as factors supporting either diagnostics or prognosis.","PeriodicalId":49692,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Pathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40515005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
